En effet! That's why it's fun :)
How To Be Idle, Tom Hodgkinson — already agreed with most of it, but a good read with excellent quotes and examples; recommended
Cat does not want to eat medicine even inside a bit yoghurt? No problem: just spread said yogurt-medicine on fur, it'll have no other option

Aucun rapport — généralement je me lève avec l'envie de bosser, mais sous la couette (d'où mon amour immodéré du MacBook Air...)
Replying to @ppk
that makes two of us! Want to pool resources?
Replying to @ppk
I don't think that's a big issue, I see potential for convergence seeing widgets as serialised AppCache — still mulling on it though
Replying to @null and @karlpro
I know what you mean, I had the same feeling coming back — and Zakim's the only phone number I know by heart too!
Replying to @libbymiller
back in the W3C fray?
Replying to @libbymiller
what's it you're doing now? Back to economics to save the world from chaos and destruction?
Replying to @libbymiller
Ah, is that with Arsemantics? Or did @danbri drag you in some other way?
Replying to @dontcallmeDOM
If it's twittered twice, does it happen more?
@w3c tweeting the web to its full potential!

Any interesting WebIDL processing stuff in there?

Hey, staying long in São Paulo? You should meet up with Sophie, Irène's friend, she's very cool
Replying to @null and @koalie
Isn't omitting words in sentences a sign that you've been in timbl's vicinity recently? I fear it be contagious.

I won't dignify that :)
Anyone given http://www.amplesdk.com/ a spin? YA Ajax framework or different? On the surface it seems interesting — XBL2, SVG, CSS UI, etc.
Replying to @fabricedesre and @fabrice_desre
yeah, XBL 2.0 sure helps with that :)
Replying to @fabricedesre and @fabrice_desre
oh man, I really need to check that out!

Disappointed that Google's use of RDFa does not include FOAF to markup people
Wondering if this is a good time to mention Joost's old widgetarian plans for a Teledildonics API in the upcoming W3C Device APIs WG
Replying to @null and @exsecrari
I'm sure that one could contrive examples in which it does actually hurt to ask :)
Replying to @arveb
It's not a Fleshlight API, it's for much more advanced uses! More like a widget for things like http://www.sinulator.com/
Would be nice to fix Zip implementations http://bit.ly/QQvjI
kthxbai!

Cohn-Bendit+Joly=belle équipe, mais dur de votez pour une alliance incluant Bové sans pince-nez. Le doute persiste. #eu09
Le problème du PS c'est qu'on en est à se réjouir du simple fait qu'ils ne présentent pas Segolène Royal.
Replying to @arun
I knew you'd appreciate being dragged into this!
It's always when you have a big, glaring, ugly typo that you get retweeted most — and no one will fix it, too.
Interesting, sort of weird, SVG/JS examples with sound http://blog.lilyapp.org/lily/demo/ (indirectly via @karlpro)
Replying to @ilinsky
simply because it's not just for HTML?
Replying to @ilinsky
the ARIA thing
Replying to @ilinsky
Not profiles, but specs are always better than articles. http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/ mentions SVG for instance
Replying to @ilinsky
I'm not sure what you mean. Of course SVG can be extended with custom attributes.
Replying to @ilinsky
Well, you might disagree, but SVG still doesn't have a schema, and adding attributes works perfectly well!
Replying to @ilinsky
If you can find a single example in which XML Schema can be useful for a web language, I'll be impressed
Replying to @ilinsky
what matters more is what happens at runtime — the authoring side is nice, but it's not the core interchange situation
Replying to @ilinsky
unknown attrs are simply ignored, not lost — they're in the DOM http://bit.ly/oVx9W

The Web security model may be broken, but I don't think we should fix it
Replying to @arveb
looking for .no names? We found a name we like, it was just a matter of eliminating those we didn't like from each other's lists

In France you can deduct a lot of that with various schemes, CIR, JEI, etc.
The Uncommon Reader, Alan Bennett. Pretty good, funny if not hilarious, well-written, smart ending.
Looking into Persevere, wondering if anyone has opinions to voice on it, notably with Dojo integration.
First successful export from Flash (.fla) to JSON — not much to show for it, but one has to start somewhere

Are there any APIs that you would put higher priority on in http://www.w3.org/2009/05/DeviceAPICharter.html

Replying to @NachoMan
I was talking priorities within the existing list :) I think camera could do sound (through video), and GPS is covered elsewhere.

Don't bitch man, making something available everywhere is always going to be a step or two behind l33t hax0rz like yourself :)

yeah, I think I got lucky on the last one (only a minor cock-up) because it seemed to me I couldn't tell any colour apart anymore
Replying to @innovimax
Those are beer colours, right?
Replying to @innovimax
Ginger cider?
Replying to @glazou
Yeah, I should try again. XPCOM is needed for some basic stuff like writing to the file system though — maybe the DAP WG will help!
Replying to @glazou
I forget the details: I needed to read stuff from zip files, load HTML from them, inject APIs in there — basically a widget platform
Replying to @glazou
S'il met sa vraie photo il aura trop de groupies
Replying to @glazou
Maybe it's changed, but back then it required XPCOM (used from JS, but XPCOM nevertheless, with its horrid docs, and weird errors)
Replying to @innovimax
Je dirais même When Shall We Three Meet (Again)?
Replying to @glazou
That looks like what I used, are you saying that it's now exposed without XPCOM? Either way, it was only one part of the headache!
Fête des voisins ce soir — très sympa, notamment par l'entremise de notre gardienne décidément fort sympathique
Replying to @null and @vojtechtoman
Congrats! Now I can only hope that my wife doesn't beat me at it, and I get a free card out of all colour arguments :)
Replying to @glazou
You're only giving trivial examples that work — very much like the rest of the documentation; how Mozilla of you ;-)
Replying to @timbray
He pretty much did it on twitter not long ago, very exciting!

Danish prime ministers remind me of the mattresses in H2G2. They're all called Zem but none of them seems to mind.

Oh you want me? Sure, but you better have good questions :) Have you done Art and DanA? A BONDI feature could be interesting too.
Replying to @null and @marcosc
Ok, I'll do it, but you have to call me the darling of the mobile industry ;-)
Replying to @arveb
I'd rather not see them, then, if you don't mind

I wonder if IE isn't headed towards a breaking point at which it will be so far behind others that its market share will suddenly plummet
Applying SVG masks, clips, filters to HTML in FF3.5: http://bit.ly/8DFw6
Replying to @NachoMan
I know, but as others improve the temptation to not support IE grows, which then could push users — it doesn't have to be linear
There is pleasure to making some creaking old furniture noises.
Replying to @beaufour
not quite what I had in mind :)
Replying to @hsivonen
SVG doesn't need killer apps, it just needs cool examples of use with HTML that's becoming possible and degrades to IE
Wondering whether we really need so many use cases for Access Requests — one seems to work for me
Toujours en pleine hésitation à 10 jours du scrutin — quelqu'un a des pistes pour décider pour qui voter?
Replying to @hsivonen
A lot of the crap was already there, and some of the additions are useful — let's not throw out the baby
Replying to @hsivonen
I've often thought of doing a DOM level 4 Refactored Core....
Replying to @hsivonen
One reason why Java stuff became so prevalent is also because the browser vendors dropped the ball: those who stay define the spec
Replying to @annevk
Yeah, I've been meaning to take a closer look at Web DOM for a while now, guess I should pull the finger out
Replying to @annevk

Replying to @ilinsky
Removing IE is not a household problem, it's largely about big IT departments
Replying to @ilinsky
You can do far more powerful and maintainable intranet applications with new browsers than with IE — and using standards
Dear MS can you give up on the bridge to nowhere that's SilverLight and put the good stuff in the browser? #kthxbai
Replying to @ilinsky
I'd love MS to join the wave — it just seems that they're spending more effort on competing with Flash instead, unfortunately
Replying to @ilinsky
Ample is v.cool but alas much slower than native for complex stuff, especially on IE6 with its super slow JS engine
Replying to @ilinsky
When SL began, competing against SWF made sense but the tide has turned since leaving MS headed in the wrong direction. Nimble FAIL
Anyone else experiencing massive slowdowns when Time Machine does a big backup?
Replying to @ilinsky
XBL2 would be a huge boost for browsers I agree — it's (slowly) getting there though!
Replying to @mholzschlag and @mollydotcom
do you know the song @glazou was referring to?
