Clearleft@clearleft I’m not sure what’s funnier, that it thinks that 9°C isn’t BBQ weather in Iceland, or that it uses angular.js #overengineering
I really think that’s part of the fun of #KSP — there’s no in-game pedagogy so you have to figure out what to do by trial, error, internet research, reading wiki/forum pages. It’s an interesting sort of game experience, very messy with unclear boundaries. Fun!

@wardcunningham OOI, why a hashtag and not a 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.

In my hometown on May Day people traditionally gather by the river to hear a choir sing. My plan tomorrow: a donut.
@benwerd enjoy the donut :) Here in Iceland it’s a holiday set aside for marching in protest. I’m looking forward to it!

People with beards: could you write me a tweet reviewing your favourite beard product? It's for a silly thing. It can be made up. :)

@anna_debenham I like this Beard Taxonomy, essential for field beard identification: topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=TO&Product_Code=WON-BEARDS&Category_Code=WON (ew yuk yuk yuk nasty URL)
Ben Werdmüller@benwerd also worth remembering hugely popular video responses on youtube — I think they got canned as part of the “upgrade” to G+ comments though :(

@jonnybarnes sure! Hope it shows up successfully! btw you should add an authorship h-card so we can see your face in feedreaders/reply contexts, e.g.
<div class="h-entry">
<a class="p-author h-card" href="http://jonnybarnes.net">

@aaronpk nice colour!
@benwerd now I think of it, there is actually a Clangers episode questioning the value of multimedia. You know, this one:
I have been waiting to use that gif for so long

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!

@dangillmor @tressiemcphd @PhuzzieSlippers great read! I wrote something much dumber a little while ago which touches on some of the same issues: waterpigs.co.uk/articles/who-owns-hashtags/

.@andycayenne oh I agree — but whenever I think about how stupid computers are, only doing exactly what we tell them, I think about how much worse it would be if they tried to guess what we really meant ;)

Yes computer, I know I keep typing "pythong" instead of "python" but you know what I mean so just deal with it, would you?

@andycayenne I alias py to python to save typing — you could do a similar thing with pythong

@jkphl oh wow, cycling all the way round is impressive! Was that in summer? How long did it take you?

@robinmujician Interesting — I’ve always considered a meme to be an idea transmitted between people, and memetics the study of how ideas travel between people. The argument being that uncommunicated thoughts aren’t very meaningful to anyone except the thinker, and the physical expressions of memes are creative works in their own right rather than memes — the meme being the idea that the creative work transmits.
Never really considered it as applying to behaviours but it makes a lot of sense, and is in the official definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme
