Just witnessed the most amazing slug behaviour (seriously, it’s jaw-dropping even with my terrible photos) http://photos.waterpigs.co.uk/photos/tags-slugs/list

The vcard syntax is bloody hideous. We should replace it with #hcard #microformats

Only just cottoned on to the fact that IOS 6 GIVES WEB APPS ACCESS TO THE DEVICE CAMERA WOOOO PARTY!

Right! Enough programming. Off to the burnt down church with my gurdy.

Finally got harmonies working on my gurdy. Next up: Electromagnetic pickups.

Was planning to add support for HTTP-DNT to my site. Found that safari sends DNT even when you explicitly deselect it. Aborting.

If you’re using Chome and you quit accidentally, losing important text forever, don’t panic! It can be found in /Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Last Session (on a Mac) with a bit of digging around.

This was the performance that made Gilles Chabenet my new favourite gurdy player: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZdVgitZUBg

My cookbook knows me too well. Every time I open it at “random” it shows me the shortbread recipe.

Loving the flexible querying in mongodb! http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Advanced+Queries

Deatbeat clients is a much larger problem than I had ever considered before: http://www.worldslongestinvoice.com/ > $15,000,000!

Just had a near-enlightenment experience courtesy of @edxOnline: https://6002x.mitx.mit.edu/section/combination_rules/

Finally back home after Chateau d’Ars. Wow.

Off to France, brb #chateaudars

I have to say I am very impressed with @twitter’s tweet embedding HTML. Progressive enhancement + graceful degradation at it’s best.

(Thoughts directed @boagworld)

A hyperlink that uses just a URI as the link text implies linking to that URI, e.g. boagworld.com implies a href of http://boagworld.com

So when referring to a resource contained on a domain, it’s misleading to use just the domain as the link text, and much clearer to include some extra words to define what the link is linking to, e.g. some post on boagworld.com

It’d be really interesting to do some testing to see if this is just a problem with people who understand URIs or if it applies to everyone.

Just received spam email… with no link in it. This is either really funny, or really concerning.

I love French.
