I am hugely annoyed at @twitter’s API stupidity, but almost as annoyed by their failure to provide a consistent tweet authoring experience across their platform.
If I see “remaining chars = 0”, I expect the tweet to post, not give me some near-meaningless error message. I also expect URLs to be automatically detected and compensated for consistently across the platform. This is just crap #ui.
Off to my local (communal device testing lab) /cc Jeremy Keith

I just came up with the craziest idea involving CSS. Like... Either it's just insane and won't work, OR its going to be awwwwesome!
@cssquirrel I did that earlier today and it failed :( Hope you have better luck.
Jack Way now you’re just confusing me :( Previous error is due to weird Accept: headers, no idea what’s causing that one
Pure–CSS attempts to auto-include favicons on external links/.h-card failed :( Resorting to javascript…
CSS, Y U NO HAVE STRING CONCATENATION?
Tonight I feel like wrangling some CSS. I want to make it do things it probably shouldn’t. Amongst other things, fixing rel=external.
Human Planet still makes the best use of subtitles I’ve ever seen. Strangely the punctuation has no text shadow, though.
Is it just me who judges monospaced fonts by whether or not - and > line up vertically?
Kyle Weems:
@BarnabyWalters That whole deprecation thing is the issue. Kids these days and lazy coders and get off my lawn.
@cssquirrel in theory CSS preprocessors should take care of that for us. I don’t use them, do they get updated quickly?
@cssquirrel nope! Vendor extensions are a very good (if tiresome) thing, provided they’re deprecated as soon as the naked declaration is standardised.
Andrew Clarke:
There must be a technical name for grippy grabby lines. Buggered if I can think what it is.
@Malarkey grip affordance?
A lovely example of delightful typography I found in Cardiff:

If you are building a product take a screenshot on every release for posterity. Looking back shows just how far along you have come.
@jmwhittaker Aral Balkan even better, make a time lapse of the website. Pefect use of version control :)
Simon Willison:
I'm talking about Lanyrd's mobile strategy (iOS and mobile web) at #fowa/#fom12 this afternoon http://t.co/FKBfhvDw
@simonw wish I was there, Lanyrd’s homescreenable(?) mobile website is one of the best examples I’ve seen so far.
@malarkey WTF?! “Dear sir, I cannot read your content because THERE IS A FUCKING MAN SHOUTING OVER IT”
Marvellous escapist stickers blend in with visual clutter on the tube: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-19858746
Having a great time discussing design and UX with my awesome photographer friend
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.
