I quite like this anti-badger cull poster (via fb):

↪ Tom Morris: Details on how to become a balloon pilot in the UK. Why? Because (a) it'd be cool and (b) taking aerial photographs. http://t.co/ddCON05h

@tommorris that would be cool, but I’ll stick to adding POIs for the moment and build up to piloting a balloon :)

↪ Aral Balkan: You know what runs on any screen, every device? An API. The future isn’t cross-platform UIs, it’s continuous client experiences.

Aral Balkan and as usual, the future is the past, with extra bits on — a return to true REST and no more http abuse

I really regret not having used version control over the entire lifetime of my site, I’d love to make a time lapse /cc Jeremy Keith

…and with a mere ~160 lines of code changed (including very little markup), I am much, much happier with the overall aesthetic.

Decided I’m sick of my current site design, but that with a few very small changes I can make it look a whole lot better. Woo design iteration!

I was going to implement activitypingback.org this afternoon but got carried away adding docblocks to my code.

Wow, never thought I'd write “docblocks” and “carried away” in the same sentence :/

↪ Aaron Parecki: Looking at #opensource alternatives to Google Analytics. Anybody tried http://t.co/JCWexJnD or... #indieweb http://t.co/GKonCjpC

Aaron Parecki I use and enjoy Piwik. Real-time analytics is great and the API can be really useful too. In fact I don’t use it as much as I’d like to.

Now if only phpDocumentor could run my tests and display testing information as well. I would live in localhost/docs!

Oh man, PHPDocumentor produces awesome results http://phpdoc.org/

Enough programming, I’m off to map some stuff for #osm

.@malarkey I found that bug again, on @tommorris’ site: http://photos.waterpigs.co.uk/p/oj — Inspection revealed nothing, refresh fixed. Worth reporting?

Reduced test cases are my friends tonight #microformats

20:03 6^th October 2012 (updated)
HA! value-class pattern, I have beaten you.

For at least one test case. But still.

#MERLIN!

(Whilst writing a #microformats-2 parser. As you do.)

The value–class pattern for datetimes was made to torture parser developers, right? #microformats

↪ Sandeep Shetty: @BarnabyWalters is it in PHP? I need one for the http://t.co/YmaMZqTe implementation I'll be working on tonight...

@sandeepshetty yep. At the moment it’s a couple of functions, by tomorrow it’ll be a PHP5 namespaced composer package.

18:07 6^th October 2012 (updated)
Just had a nice buzz from implementing generic #microformats-2 parsing and not having to redefine each different type
