The windows mobile device I’m testing on is at 0% battery, isn’t charging and powers down every 30 secs. Problem is, it then starts up again. Best put it out of it’s misery.
Testing websites on old windows mobile devices is an… experience.
Connecting to WiFi gave me the option of connecting to “The Internet” or “Work” (?).
On form submit using the software keyboard, I get a dialog warning me about the certificate, with the options “yes” and “no” but no question. Turns out the software keyboard was hiding “Do you want to proceed?”
Now I’m finally in the site, there’s no support for label
, so those nice big touch targets I made are mostly useless. Also, there’s no text wrapping.
Hopefully h-card entities should get expanded in the reply context for this note (crosses fingers)
Aaron Parecki testing reply context microformat entity expansion, please ignore :)
Another quick pingback sanity check test:
So, it seems that pingbacks are not working as they should. This is a problem. Let us ping some URLs:
Geeksphone apparently shipping Keon and Peak Firefox OS devices from next week! #excited
Prices are €91 and €149 plus taxes, respectively.
Update: link to announcement
Their site is down for maintenance… that’s a good thing right?
Need to use require.js to load a bunch of scripts compiled via assetic into a PHP file, annoyed by auto-append of .js, don’t want to set up irritating routing? Add a ? to the URL, require.js will add a .js to the query string, loading the file correctly.
Or, alternatively, I might use #webactions and do=post, based on a bunch of research
Doing a test implementation of a+rel+iframe+postMessage hypermedia UI injection (needs a better name) — using existing rel=create-form
Yet another reason why HTML+microformats2 is the way forward for feeds on the web:
“Most people don’t know what HTML is and yet are able to consume pages without caring much.”

Colour testing tools: Colour Brewer for generating map colour schemes (warning: flash) and Colour Oracle for seeing your screen as it would be seen by someone with colour blindness
Julien Genestoux I’ll probably add one this afternoon — wrapped in a subscribe
webaction, of course :)
Is the convention to have just one for the homepage (i.e. subscribe to “me”), or to have one wherever there is a feed (e.g. on my notes or articles pages?
cssquirrel Zepto is nice for browser extensions, where the browser will always be modern and capable
Just reported+hid all Wix ads on Facebook — dialog asked me why. Flash websites are “Against My Views” #web
Turns out that performing a GET request on a data URI from PHP works if file_get_contents is used, not if cURL is used. I wonder what support is like for other server side languages — using data URIs in with
could be the basis of some interesting #webactions.
.Josh Emerson’s stateless icon/progress loader on kylebean.co.uk is one of the most beautiful bits of design I’ve seen in a long time. Heads up: the back button does not work in Safari 5.1
The more interwoven the relationship between the appearance and the manufacturing process is, the more honest the material.
Too right. I love the way @kevingoldman advocates the use of movement, state and microcopy for emotive design on the web.
