This evening’s Icelandic-Austrian fusion cooking: Kaiserschmarrn with rabarbara sulta (rhubarb jam). No photo because I ate it already.
Attempting to reproduce a weird, That Browser With Flash issue by opening ALL THE TABS:
It’s like a little mountain range!
Edit: I made so many tabs they go off the screen, and That Browser With Flash just ignores it, stubbornly insisting that there are only as many tabs as can fit on the screen. Yet another example of Firefox having Superior Prowess (TBWF is seriously fast though)
@zachinglis really? I see @adactio and @tommorris listed on indiewebcamp.com/2014/UK#Organizers, I’m not aware either are outspokenly anti-corporation — maybe you’re thinking of @aral, of ind.ie?
@zachinglis Mozilla is awesome, previous indiewebcamps have been sponsored by all sorts of projects and organisations including MIT, Esri, &yet, Bridgy, Known, NYT, Superfeedr, trrst, etc. Google has been kind enough to provide money for lunch on several occasions.
Nowhere is either organisation referred to as “evil” (see: “evil”, Google). Indiewebcamp UK 2014 is still looking for sponsors, know anyone who might be interested?
Not quite sure what to make of this latest spam:
I love that feeling when you play music with someone/some people and it just works, straight away. It feels like cheating but it’s not, it means you’re doing something right.
@capybaraparty agreed, no Jenga is ever “too loud”
@nickcharlton if this is at work I’d take that as a possible sign you need something more interesting to work on :)
Want to come to @indiewebcampUK but not sure if you’re a “creator”? Say hello, I want to help! Either here, on IRC or barnaby@waterpigs.co.uk
@aral @emmajanehw I personally am disappointed with the lack of diversity at Indiewebcamp UK but have no idea how to fix it, so any and all feedback is very welcome and appreciated, and will be taken very seriously by myself as well as the organisers.
@albertwenger reminds me a lot of Lakoff’s “image schemas” — it would be quite fascinating to use them to organise concepts on computers as well as in our heads.
“Why does Windows think my keyboard is a toaster?”, or “the case for generic code samples: expect users to copy, paste and ship”
@kylewm good plan! I made some stuff which might be of interest:
define()
call on waterpigs.co.uk/js/app.js@jkphl I’ll be at dConstruct and IWC, looking forward to meeting you!
@superfeedr I’m having problems connecting to push.superfeedr.com and pubsubhubbub.superfeedr.com — both worked briefly then continually return either “Connection Interrupted” error, or (weirdly) a brief HTML 500 Error page followed by a Firefox “Connection Interrupted” error. isup.me/push.superfeedr.com seems to confirm this isn’t an issue with my network — any idea what’s going on?
Helpful #puredata tip: if you cannot move objects around in edit mode, it’s probably due to not having an audio device configured. Because that totally affects being able to drag boxes around.
@kylewm I especially like the way Shaun just hangs there plaintively, accepting his fate with the wry sarcastic humour that only Aardman can make a barely-vocalizing character emote.
We regret to report that even after extensive, delicious research we have been unable to determine how soba noodles can possibly taste as good as they do.
We remain undaunted.
