I… What? #downton ended on a happy note? No deaths?

The Christmas special had better be the zombie apocalypse

Got a lot of work done on my #indieweb publishing software today. This is in preparation to using it on a friend’s site, then releasing all the components into the public. Exciting stuff!

↪ Emil Björklund: @BarnabyWalters I'm guessing @andyhume might be the guy to ask.

@thatEmil good plan, will do :)

↪ Emil Björklund: @BarnabyWalters @Malarkey doesn't work, as far as I know, I'm afraid.

@thatEmil @malarkey poo :( Then again, it would have been a bit of a dirty hack, so perhaps it’s better this way!

↪ Andrew Clarke: To answer my question from this morning, I can find no (media query) way to target an iPad mini and not a 1st Gen / iPad 2.

@malarkey physical unit (cm/mm) query? /cc @thatEmil

↪ Nick Charlton: @BarnabyWalters Actually, that’s not a bad idea. I wonder if they also have a way to mark something as being offensive?

Nick Charlton doesn’t look like it — I hit the button and (after hanging for a sec) it said “your vote(?) was greatly appreciated”. Not great design :/

↪ Nick Charlton: Dicks like this: http://t.co/nsF0FaSr Make me want to leave the industry. Christ.

Nick Charlton very, very tempting to hit the “report this ad as fake” button. Surely no sane person would talk like that in real life?!

↪ Aral Balkan: Don’t be afraid to start. Remember that no one starts out knowing how to build the app they’re making.

Aral Balkan that is where I am at the mo. working on a mainly client side #JS app, having never done so before. Scary and fun!

Turns out seeing how many lines of HTML were saved by running The Guardian’s source through Coda’s HTML Tidy was a mistake. Coda now frozen. >3.3k lines!

Does anyone I know do web stuff for newspapers? I’d be really interested in knowing why there’s so much weird code formatting and vertical space in the source.

I found a new trick for quickly blocking out sounds: put your hands over your ears and wiggle your fingers gently against your head. Instant loud bubbling sounds!

In related news, I no longer run out of the room when those crappy Colgate adverts come on.

Oh dear, my little old macbook is complaining a bit today. First the battery goes, then the wifi repeatedly disconnects. I hope this isn’t the beginning of the end :(
