One wonderful project which could really use some design work is www.gutenberg.org, especially the distributed proofreaders system — I can’t imagine just how many people want to contribute but are put off by the incomprehensible #ui

Jovian Salak looking good!
@karltryggvason thanks for the suggestion, we listened to it at work — amazing stuff! I need to listen to more radiolab now :)
@wilto what, like this:
Erin Richie which company is that? I’m doing some research on the UX of data export at the mo and they sound like a good bad example :)
What is it with facebook games being called “xyz saga”? They barely qualify.
This is a saga: youtube.com/watch?v=Jisqle37uWI
(I hope you’re taking notes, facebook game developers)
I’m thinking the time might have come to write a wrapper around #php DOMDocument which actually makes it usable. Thoughts:
querySelector
and querySelectorAll
are implemented for both the document and individual elements via Symfony XPath → CSS converter and relative XPath queriesinnerText
, innerHTML
for consistencyI seem to have a private little klezmer concert next door tonight #music
Please forward this new @edXOnline course to any creationists who cite lack of evidence as proof evolution is wrong: Introduction to Human Evolution
#listening to Ravel’s Bolero, after learning the first part on the #gurdy yesterday
Aral Balkan heh, that in itself is a good (if diluted) example of how surveillance and record keeping can be used against people
@benwerd okay, on hindsight it was a mistake. But I giggled every time they said “positronic brain”
Time to fix the fact that, for one reason or another, I’ve never seen I, Robot all the way through
Heard a good #mondegreen over lunch — not sure what the lyrics were supposed to be but sounded a lot like “I’ve got a professional… lawyer”
I’m thinking of actually writing the code I used to calculate those stats and run it for previous and future indiewebcamps, too — might be fun to see how we’re growing!
#indiewebcamp 2013 in numbers:
Most counts either manually from the wiki or scraped from the IRC logs, which are surprisingly nicely marked up.
I received over 20 mentions via both pingback and webmention — I’d love to hear how many others received. Likewise, if anyone has personal stats like LOC or commit counts, please leave them in the comments!
Does anyone who was there IRL have any other stats e.g. amount of food/drink consumed? Total bandwidth/electricity usage would also be awesome to know.
