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!
Just uploaded a demo of my Vio Hurdy Gurdy’s pickups: https://soundcloud.com/barnabywalters/vio-hurdy-gurdy-bouree-aurore-sand
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 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
HA! value-class pattern, I have beaten you.
For at least one test case. But still.
(Whilst writing a #microformats-2 parser. As you do.)
The value–class pattern for datetimes was made to torture parser developers, right? #microformats

@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.
Just had a nice buzz from implementing generic #microformats-2 parsing and not having to redefine each different type

Because @brightoncomedy’s online form is crap and keeps rejecting my order, I phone @brightdome & get told there’s an additional fee. #fail

Aral Balkan just tell them you’ll pay the extra fee, provided you can deduct 20% inconvenience tax

… Beauty of that interaction is it has authenticity, substance, a story. It feels real. The app becomes a solid object to #play with. #xd

Aral Balkan the other interesting effect I get is an increase in perceived productivity. Closing an app via multitouch instead of physical button seems a more fluid UI
