#exeterweb conversation summaries:
Doing acceptance #testing in a different language to your application is philosophically a good idea.
When syndicating data, the quality can be used to determine the canonical version even if the separate versions don't link to each other (example: photographer takes RAWs, gives TIFF to client, RAW is proof of provenance) #POSSE
Not drinking tea and not having cream on cream teas reduces the day to day hassle, stress and confusion of living in Devon by approximately 90%.
RobMMcCarthy both! Really looking forward to your talk — but expect heckling if you mention schema.org ;)

Getting to grips with voiceover on the mac for #accessibility testing. Initial observation is that datetimes are horrible — perhaps providing a relative datetime in the title attribute would be better?
Really Google? em

Cool to see Steven Downes has picked up on some #indieweb writings and has been POSSEing for ages. And I now have my own author URL on his site! That is a fascinating approach.
Anil Dash talks about browsers removing the ability to run arbitrary extensions — personally I am more bothered about websites banning their users for creating those extensions #indieweb #ownyourcontent
