Voting day — French abstention at 13h down 1.2 points compared to last EU election #eu09
Off to vote for @europeecologie. I just wish they didn't also support that obscurantist Bové — but the others are worse #eu09
A voté! #eu09
Estimation Suisse à 18h12: UMP 25-28%; PS 20-21%; Verts 14-16%; Modem 10-12% #eu09
Estimated abstention levels in France flirts with 60% — that's just sad
Can't make up my mind as to whether I'm happy the Greens I voted for are so far up, or sad that the right is so victorious. I guess both.
Replying to @fgeorges
La presse Suisse publie toujours des sondages à la sortie des urnes avant la France où c'est interdit.

We get "EU to make food out of babies" stories regularly — while the lobbying is there, I don't see this one happening
In my arrondissement: Green 34.8; UMP 19.8; PS 17.9; Modem 7.6 — it's shocking to see PS so low here where they win everything

Replying to @ajbraun
Don't they take a (small) share of the sales? That'd be a good model. SMS has set ARPU expectations stupidly high I'm afraid.

canvas-svg bridge pretty much usable now, even if still missing gradients and images. It does some stuff better than Gecko/Presto/WebKit :)
