Train them early: Ashley is on her first videoconference right now, with Sao Paulo.

Replying to @NachoMan

Congrats! Probably my turn there soon too :)
I'll be co-chair of the new Device APIs and Policy Working Group, now officially chartered http://www.w3.org/2009/dap/

Replying to @johnallsopp

in actual browsers or in terms of what is intended?

Replying to @johnallsopp

I'm not sure anyone's actually done that (without JS) for real :)

Replying to @arveb

You probably can write a variety of native emulators in JS :)

Replying to @thommay

That's just the normal way of throwing exceptions — nothing bad about that, catch with eval { ... }

Replying to @thommay

Some of those dies are expected to be caught by the caller (though of course that should be documented)
Just got SVG in text/html to work, in Firefox

Replying to @hsivonen

Something else that works in older browsers too — now tested in FF, Opera, and Safari
Anyone feel like flooding this service? :) http://tr.im/rp3S

Replying to @bradneuberg

no, I'm using a JS hack to make it happen, not the real thing. It has limitations but is useful, I'll release tomorrow I think.

Replying to @abcoates

You're supposed to be able to track progress, e.g. with the interim cut by 20% by 2020 for the EU. But yeah...

Replying to @stubbornella

Not that it's a great example, but that's what http://www.ekopolis.fr/ uses too!

The OpenOffice.org suite is one of the rare but genuine reasons one may be entitle to have recourse to extra-judiciary elimination.

Replying to @null and @exsecrari

Beats the others which had no potential and no interesting themes :)

Replying to @elharo

IME Air apps are just like Java apps used to be — loads of usability issues and they feel differently wrong on any platform

Replying to @null and @koalie

Humidity, Agadir: 48%, Nice: 69% ?

Replying to @ppk

Or how to create a website on which one can actually find things either. It's a real shame. #jil

Replying to @elharo

Checked exceptions aren't too complex, they just rely on the delusion that third-parties will write sanely designed interfaces.

Replying to @glazou

Une fossoyeuse, non?

Replying to @ppk

Well that's actually the whole point... usable, well-designed tech rarely ever requires an SDK, and never an IDE
I don't know any lullabies so I'm singing Ashley some Dresden Dolls — she seems to like it alright
Working from île de Ré — the net is better than in Paris!

Replying to @null and @amyvdh

Heh, I just hope she won't immediately remember everything in Coin-Operated Boy ;-)

Replying to @georgebina

Cmd-` on a QWERTY, but it can be different on other layouts, notably Cmd-> on French AZERTY. Try any punctuation on the left.

Replying to @null and @ndw

I similar issues at some point when a xulrunner app corrupted everything launched through the same app launcher (Quicksilver). Weird.

"Take that, you browsers" — me, after hacking to get SVG support in text/html proves harder than planned, yet still possible

Replying to @codedread

FF/Opera/Safari — I'll release as soon as it's ready, which should be very soon

Replying to @bradneuberg

Excellent! I'd been waiting for that :)

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Yeah, that too. Anyone really, it's just dystopic-squared feeling that points me there, plus a sense of trends to come.

Replying to @libbymiller

Still being a project manager?

Replying to @edd

We like to make sure you still feel you have a chance, which means letting you win once in a while ;-) Congrats!

I find it very ironic that http://tr.im/tueN "Native to a Web of Data" is text on JPEG.... (pointed to from @karlpro)

Replying to @JeniT

Yes, but that's an old document, I was just wondering if you brought the issue up because of something recent, say with the UK govt?

Replying to @JeniT

I guess it's time for lobbying action! Maybe a petition on the Downing St website to start with?

Replying to @null and @karlpro

Yes, but they're a bad user interface. Whether we like it or not URIs are both.

Replying to @null and @karlpro

Yes indeed, but it is important that the user-visible URIs are non-dated, and only advanced users get to see the horrible ones
