Ugh, all the papers I can find about potato heat penetration are behind paywalls. Apparently I’ll have to research it myself #freePotatoKnowledge #openPotatoScience
Is there a list somewhere of all the #ferguson announcements/statements made by officials e.g. local government, police, state+higher level government?
The new papaparse.com is one of the best open source library websites I’ve ever seen. Going to be referring to this pattern in the future.
Bárðarbunga’s hit orange en.vedur.is/weather/aviation/volcanic-hazards after >48hrs of continuous earthquakes. Revise your Icelandic pronounciation now, so you can smugly correct the news reporters when it goes off!
Bárðarbunga: baur-tha-bun-ga
All booked up for tradition.is next Thurs-Sat. Looking forward to hearing and learning some Nordic music and dance, and visiting Akureyri again!
Had a wonderful time playing #gurdy at Stóri Eyglóar-dagurinn — thanks to all who came and supported Eygló! Played my new tunes The Taste of Words and Jellyfish 500 (not yet notated), and accompanied Eygló singing Vísur Vatnsenda Rósu and Sofðu unga ástin mín.
I didn’t video it myself but hope to have one to link to in a week or so.
It’s hard to beat cardboard, Arduino and puredata for quick electronic #music hardware prototyping:
#TIL about the Weiquan Movement
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.
