Je ne me sers jamais des menus, que des raccourcis — il y en a pour tout, il faut juste trouver. Cmd-E pour search with selection.

Aussi, la manière de créer des extensions est très simple: Unix. http://manual.macromates.com/en/
Is there a way (in Firefox presumably) to save a page in its current Javascript-modified state easily? I don't need images and the rest.

Replying to @stubbornella

Thanks, not perfect (it seems to miss some attributes) but it's a step forward!
I'm afraid to soon run out of those lovely translucent W3C pens I use all the time, hope there'll be some at the plenary!
What Is Existenz Philosophy?, Hannah Arendt. Rushed and uncreative overall, but some good bits about Karl Jaspers at the end.
Thanks to all who pointed to options to save a JS dynamic page! All failed to save DOCTYPE, some to get root attributes so I rolled my own:)
Whoa! I hope they RF-up the VPx codecs! http://bit.ly/40iHPG - Google acquires On2 (via @arveb)

There seem to be quite a few JS libs that do syntax highlighting of code inside HTML, is any one of them particularly good? #lazyweb

Replying to @arveb

I need it to produce HTML that can pass PubRules (basically valid) and to support at least JS, HTML, and CSS

Replying to @arveb

No, a highlighter written *in* JS, one I can call automatically, for ReSpec.

Replying to @arveb

Aha! Very interesting! I have to look into that, thanks!

Replying to @mnot

Well it's canvas, it couldn't have much markup if it wanted to.
Le Conseil Constitutionnel censure le statut spécial de Paris dans la loi sur le travail dominical — ça devient une habitude...

Ashley sends you a smooch from Paris :)
SOAP makes me feel dirty. (via @bradneuberg)

Replying to @mnot

Got invites?

If there's money to be made on the platform, then it makes sense to put money into improving it. A Mozilla Widgets Store would work
I will be irregularly available over the next two weeks — but I'll try to answer email once in a while.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

You are somehow slow, I'd say.
Pour une primaire ouverte à gauche. Signez la pétition : http://www.primaire2012.fr/ (le site est naze, mais l'intention est juste)
The whole house is vibrating from the breast pump. It's probably time to switch to formula, I think.
Widgets Test Workshop, Düsseldorf 21-23/09. http://bit.ly/3xRtP Open to all. A great way to help a kick arse W3C standard make progress!

Replying to @iamheathr

Do they use the W3C Widgets standard? If not, sorry but I'm not interested!
Wondering about decentralised Twitter using Jabber.
My condolences to Paul Cotton and Maciej Stachowiak for their new position chairing the HTML5 madness!

Replying to @null

@karlpro, @lhirlimann thanks, I knew it just had to exist but I couldn't find it!
Gathering requirements for Device APIs (http://bit.ly/30qoiA and http://bit.ly/9hDP3), your input is very much welcome!

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Why don't you just use HTML to edit the paper then import that into Word? It used to work like a charm.
while (from.childNodes.length) to.appendChild(from.firstChild) is horribly slow in FF — any suggestions for alternatives?

Replying to @othermaciej

No, it's probably just that no one else wanted the job :)

Replying to @arveb

Thanks, that helped me think about how to change the code. 390x speed-up!

Replying to @konobi

Yes, that worked well, and document.body.style.display="none" before processing gave me an extra 3x overall perf. Now 250ms from 5s!
This site has been optimised for a 1024x768 resolution. your screen resolution is actually 320x396. Heh.
Why people use Office beat me, but why use OpenOffice beats me more. Gone insane editing trivial slides. We need to make Wocuments real!

Replying to @hsivonen

HTML5 <datagrid>. Oh wait, no. Well I guess we'll have to make something that works in-browser ;-)

Replying to @roessler

I'll try it again. What I'd like is an HTML editor slightly specialised for slides and generic docs, saving to the widget format.

Replying to @roessler

True, but last I tried XForms implementations weren't up to par with what I wanted them to do (which arguably was complex)

Replying to @AlainCouthures

Making easy things that are hard in JS; e.g. powerful schema-based structural editing (if possible using RelaxNG of course)

Replying to @dRabeuf

I just find XSD totally useless for any kind of document modelling. It's like Java but for documents: dumb, limited, over-hyped.

Replying to @dRabeuf

Google Docs is slightly more usable than Office, but unfortunately they didn't rethink business document editing, mostly copied
People who build commercial sites should by law have to wear an electronic bracelet that zaps them every time a user is frustrated.

Replying to @jwatt

If users are frustrated it's always the implementer's fault — spec-writers are always flawless.
