Hrafn Þorvaldsson:
And I am downtown with a car so I could pickup @w03_ (if he comes), then @BarnabyWalters and finally @gakera around 23:00?
@hvitur_hrafn picking up from games probably makes the most sense
@crispinDGWalker EXCUSE ME SIR 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 🐐 fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f410/index.htm
Hrafn Þorvaldsson:
Just saw now that it starts at 23:50. I'm still in. @gakera @w03_ @BarnabyWalters
@Hvitur_Hrafn it sounds ridiculous, I’m in. Meet when+where?
Sophie Dennis:
Dear #lazyweb. Cool footnote patterns. Go! (As in, proper academic-y footnotes pls)
@sophiedennis you might find something of interest on microformats.org/wiki/cite esp. examples, also h-cite microformat in active use (there’s at least one on this page :)

Loving @aaronpk's pushup counter, which you use by touching your nose to your phone: https://github.com/aaronpk/PushupCounter-iOS

@BarnabyWalters Do they have rennet at Burið!?! I didn’t know! A few desserts for next @SumendiRest have become suddenly possible… thanks!
@_aitor welcome back! Yep, I spent several hours today on a wild goose chase which led me to Burið and now have a small vat of Skyr curing. Looking forward to tasting the Sumendi desserts, and I actually have one I’d like you to sample: an evolution of your hot chocolate recipe with some Icelandic influences…

@BarnabyWalters hello sir. Your name came up multiple times at #indiewebcamp in a positive light, so thought I'd say hi!
@slaterusa thanks for the heads-up, I’ll look into it!
@kartik_prabhu amazing work overall! This is one of my favourite parts though — the fact that fragmention comments fall back gracefully if they’re not supported on either side, and yet all the data required to present them is preserved, so future updates can retro-actively put old marginalia in the right place!
I wonder how tricky it would be to implement this on the comment publisher side too — detecting fragmention URLs and tailoring the reply context content…
Amber Case:
8 hours of hand beading later... Actually that was quite relaxing! Doing something in the real world is a very nice counter to software.
@caseorganic beautiful! Yup, it’s very healthy and grounding to make physical things after computering a lot.
@aaronpk whaaaaa
You realise that in my mind this attitude basically makes you some sort of fearless adventurer wizard hero, who, ARMED with his MAGIC LIGHTS, fears not the CHECK-IN DESK and FLYING METAL BOXES and requires no A4 SHIELD to ward off the spectres of GETTING LOST IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY
Aaron Parecki:
@BarnabyWalters You still print your boarding pass on paper? ;-) I stick to magic lights all the way through.
@aaronpk oh wow, I would be terrified that the magic lights would break or not work or run out of power or get lost or crash. I trust paper waaaay more than magic lights and can’t travel without my wad of A4 pieces of paper :)

Internally, always use PGP fingerprints. Externally, we need to invent new ways to visualize them coherently and accurately.

@erinjo indeed. At least they’re neutral about it rather than Vimeo, which actively blames users for using Firefox :/

I FOUND A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST ENTIRELY DEVOTED TO SONGS WITH DRAMATIC KEY-CHANGES

@crispinDGWalker fortunately the office is deserted so I can listen to this without people worrying when I burst out laughing
@erinjo perhaps the difficulty in creating an effective icon stems from the fact that the physical metaphors associated with “share” do not map well to the online behaviour associated with the term, allowing the word to be used successfully but making giving it an image a challenge.
My theory: the most basic usage of “share” generally refers to organising mutual access to some resource between pre-determined, consenting participants (he shared his food with him, she shared her connection with her coworkers, the schools shared a playing field). This holds for more abstract non-physical use of “share”, as in “she shared her story”, ”they shared a secret”.
In some cases (e.g. private messaging [where the verb “message” or “send” would more often be used] or posting to a group) the “known participants” facet holds up, but not so much the pre-determination and/or mutual consent/awareness present in the physical examples — unless for example the context is an online group set up explicitly for the sharing of links to resources about a topic.
In the common case of “sharing” as it’s characterised online (posting a short text post containing a link and optionally some comment, typically with a link preview, broadcast to a wide audience on a whim with no mutual pre-determination), not much of the original metaphor holds up, and I’d argue that “post” is a more suitable term (“publish” less so as its use connotes posting of a thought-out original work).
None of this is backed up by actual data though — I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
@tommorris I like how @t’s DataIntegrity page can be interpreted as “simplest solution: live in Arizona and NEVER LEAVE or communicate with people outside the state”

Last time around, the folder all my work was in was called "Hey Diddle Dissertation," I need a new pun for this one
@CrispinDGWalker “mmmm, dessertation”
