  2. ↪ bruce lawson: .. correction; Opera 21 shows domain + path by default, hides protocol and query strings. (On feedback, we added setting to show full URL).

    @brucel that sounds like a good balance between informing the user and visual noise — should also help discourage the use of query string parameters in permalink design too, hopefully.

  3. Finally landed on the mün manually in ! Here’s my little kerbal looking relieved to be out of the lander at last. It’s a good thing they don’t need anything to eat — it might be a while before I can fly a more substantial base out there.

    A kerbal stands proudly on the moon next to a small, three-legged lander. In the background is Kerbin, set against the milky way.

  4. Doing some highly scientific experiments:

    four spoons are laid out, each with a different proportion of granola to skyr.

    Initial observations: for one mouthful, skyr:granola ratios by weight varying between 6:1 and 6:7 have little noticeable effect on taste or feel of granola in your mouth, time taken to eat or number of annoying little granola-particles stuck in your teeth. At the lowest granola proportion the granola taste and smell was noticeably lessened.

    More to follow.

  5. Fellow publishers: how actively do you chase up unattributed use of your work you find? Do you actively look for unattributed copies?

    Context: recently I’ve stumbled semi-coincidentally across several (casual, non-commercial) uses of my work, in one case attributed it myself, in the other sent a friendly message asking about it w/ no response. Wondering if this is a common experience?

  8. “@finkd: from now on when you log into an app with facebook you can change line by line what you share with this app“

    Finally, a mainstream silo pushing forward the UX of OAuth sign-in permissions.

  16. That Steve Tyler is some sort of compositional genius:

    Really pleased to see him publishing more of his music online. If you get a chance to go see him play (with Katy or Andy or whoever else really), don’t pass it up!

  18. ↪ Ben Werdmüller: At this point in my career I'm prepared to recommend that we all standardize on ASCII art and forget about "videos" and "multimedia".

    @benwerd videos are such noisy things, whilst ASCII art has a certain serenity about it. But lack of video does mean no more Clangers :'(

    …unless…

    VCR TIME!

  19. Identified next personal block after some false starts: toolkit which makes not only subscribing to content but maintaining subscriptions+crawling historical content extremely easy.

    Basic requirement for compelling services:

    • feed reader
    • spam prevention
    • search engine

    all of which I’ve started building separately before realising that it makes much more sense for them to all be the same thing.

    Made a lot of progress on foundations this afternoon, code still in domain-specific anti-spam tool repo github.com/barnabywalters/shrewdness but nearly ready to be packaged up and put to use!
