@glazou it's those XML folks, they just don't stop drinking...
Replying to @annevk
I know, I can see why you would find namespaces complex...
Replying to @glazou
Indeed, after a couple hours with XML Schema who wouldn't want to?
"XML Schema is the most impenetrable specification I have seen since Algol 68." -- Michael Kay
"A future version of XSL may extend the stylesheet specification." -- XSL 1.1
"Throughout this specification, the term absent is used as a distinguished property value denoting absence." (XML Schema 1.0)
1.1 clarifies: "A property value which is not ·absent· is present."
Replying to @xmlprague
"cleaned up" you say? That's censorship!
Replying to @colmmacc
and even more so the distinguished kind.
@dckc the primer isn't the specification :)
I'm wondering is you couldn't make a good onion and chocolate cake
Václav rocks, we don't use the blackboard in conferences anywhere near enough.
@dckc: I once built an implementation, and used to use it a lot, but I switched to RNG+NVDL and don't plan on looking back, ever!
Replying to @xmlprague
It's the sort of thing I would try. Damn, you've made me hungry reading up about The Fat Duck!
Replying to @xmlprague
I'll suffer a gastroenteritis if the food is worth it!
Replying to @dckc
I don't think they were your errors, it's collective, including folks outside who should have screamed louder!
My talk up next at XML Prague, watch it live at 1620 on http://river-valley.tv/broadcasting/

BURY THEM! BURY THEM! BURY THEM! BURY THEM! BURY THEM!
Replying to @arun
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, chowder. I'm jealous.
Replying to @glazou
I'm hungover and in an XML conference, what else could I be doing?
Replying to @glazou
at least you get to have great chowder there :)
Replying to @null and @ndw
It doesn't have to be more video, it can be better video. But I otherwise share the feeling...
Replying to @beaufour
have you read the Night's Dawn trilogy? It was pretty good stuff too.
@roessler so are you finding links between inner apes and AC reps?
back from XML Prague, which was a kick arse conference. I look forward to seeing you all again!
Replying to @roessler
yeah but I have been, maybe it leaves traces...
Replying to @glazou
delenda est, really?
it would be nice if the AC meet were twittered more
Replying to @null and @karlpro
no namespaces though, that's a killing drawback for me
For all those who wouldn't believe that "lacuna values" really exist, I shall vindicate myself! ;-) Look up www.✿.ws/lacuna
Replying to @annbass
I was thinking more about tweeting things that will be made public after the meeting, not internal discussion
saw Arthur H live yesterday, was great!
I generally trust Khronos, they did a good job with OpenVG and synced well with W3C.
Replying to @glazou
use TextMate :)
Czech PM fired in wake of XML Prague
Replying to @roessler
well, I'd tell you, but we don't remember...
Will be in Boston next Monday evening, look forward to seeing anyone who's there!
Jeunesse lèves-toi, tu es l'avenir de demain!
Replying to @glazou
non, juste trop picolé trop court :)
Replying to @heycam
Man, don't do that... that's what we have RNG for
MS doing widgets, but not up to speed with competition: no SVG; cf www.✩.ws/msvg
Replying to @heycam
I feel for your pain...
Replying to @al3xbrown
can I clap Mohamed too?
Replying to @al3xbrown
As part of the defects addressing, can we get proper SVG support in OOXML? Pretty please? Not the fake that's there? Bambi eyes?
Someday I'll stop confusing OOXML and ODF — but not yet, not today
Replying to @danbri and @roessler
Yeah, but they're missing SVG which makes widgets a lot less useful :(

From Ajaxian: "Ajax 2.0 with Anne van Kesteren", for a second there I really thought this was about football...
Replying to @annevk
What in my escape plan from angle brackets failed? I love angle brackets, and am for sure staying!
Replying to @glazou
What? Complaining that I'm giving away your business plan?
Replying to @null and @marcosc
IT'S AAAALLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!
Replying to @torgo
you should tell Boris to set up something like www.✿.ws/velib
Went to see Mahler's 2nd symphony at la Salle Pleyel last night — powerful stuff!
In Cambridge, just had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with maxf! The rooms here are one very special kind of kitsch...
It should be illegal to claim free internet access when email doesn't work. And tunnelling seems to keep failing. Argh!
Replying to @evlist
Thanks, I'll give it a shot, but it seems that the network becomes horribly slow over HTTPS — they really thought about this!
