Spent a productive morning at the workshop making #gurdy keys (these keyboards are much bulkier than my previous one and should be more substantial and satisfying to play as a result), then toddled off to Dartington to be a stage hand for Devon Baroque w/ Robin Andrews. Now working on #taproot music module, might have a go with Glenn Jones’ microformatshiv.com later.

@evanpro these are sounding a little like @wikihowTXT’s tweets

I got tired of WPSM looking and working the way it does (I wrote it when I was 13 and learning PHP), so I’ve taken the data and started building the #taproot Music module. Live here. Major #WIP but already looking and working better than the old one!

The #buzz gig went alright, considering we had major bagpipe tuning problems (chanter stuck a quarter-tone between F# and G). Thanks to everyone who came!

Now I’ve played Bach in front of a paying audience I feel like a real musician. Couldn’t have done it without Robin Andrews though :)

fraying just #listening to the first episode of fertile medium and really enjoying it!

Question: what is the context if you reply to something someone’s said on your own site, as a self–hosted reply (e.g. this one of mine, cross-posted here)?

In an #indieweb environment where everyone hosts their own comments, what happens to the their turf/own turf thing? Or is it more of a question of how the user agent in use displays interlinking content (and what blocking tools it offers)?

I wonder how common it is for HTTP APIs actually support PUT to a collection to replace it? Combined with the Robustness Principle it seems like a powerful tool for data migration #ownYourData #indieweb

Wow, exporting my DB of tunes (for migration into the shiny new system) as #YAML almost results in valid #ABC!

aral hideous. That makes me more embarrassed to be a PHP dev than all the bad rep it has as a language. And they're teaching SVN! It gets worse :(

veganstraightedge we really should have done one at IWC UK 2012 — or perhaps stick the ones @t took into a panorama ;)

jack_way cheers, I thought it might be too generic but looks like it’s the best choice.

I love that #php now has shiny namespacing and a thriving code sharing community, but I think the heavily hierarchical namespacing practises used by some of the community (e.g. symfony components) are unhealthy.

They are difficult to memorise, relying on (often slow) IDE autocomplete, and encourage a use statement for each class. That’s pretty much a scoped equivalent of from x import * in python — not a good practise! It’s still namespace pollution, it just takes longer to write.

I am trying to use a more python–like, package-centred approach with much fewer subnamespaces. The outcome of this should be that you use the package name:

use BarnabyWalters\Posse

…and then using all the classes/subnamespaces from that root, e.g: $t = Posse\Helpers::conv
