Très bonne réunion avec @fondapol et @innovimax, maintenant il ne reste plus qu'à travailler!

Having most of one's email blocked makes for a shockingly relaxing day.
My email addressability has resumed, thanks!
Personne ne la pose parce que tout le monde sauf VGE savait qu'il était trop tôt pour la Grèce en 1981.
I know, that's why it angers me when people try to defend the French language as if it were under any threat! While 100s are dying
Les stats, il faut que ça soit pertinent! Il faudrait plutôt comparer le %age par catégorie, nb de prêtres/total prêtres, etc.
It's quite telling to see how every person I show the Kindle to tries to use it as if it had a touch screen.
Well the use case is obvious, you need it for Word Art!
From the grapevine: IE9 announced at MIX with SVG, canvas, audio/video, some CSS3; all hardware accelerated. We'll see next week!

Il n'y a aucun consensus sur le sujet. Il vaut mieux définir quels usages on veut permettre, et choisir un seuil en fonction de ça
Why is matter unevenly distributed? Was time created at that moment? Can we conceive of a before?
Collecting SVG demos for #xmlprague, if you have anything awesome I'll be happy to show it!
Yes, I already had Ample mentioned as an IE shim. Thanks!
Is there a browser that has some rudimentary support for CSS 3 attr() function (for arbitrary properties)? Can't seem to find one...
No, Firefox seems to only support it for the content property, it's apparently falsely listed as Ok (or I did something wrong...)
Is that really a meme? Sounds more like micromeming to me.
The Froumentin Conjecture: an exhaustive list of requirements is undistinguishable from the final spec.

XSLT 2.1 adds properties on modes, and you can support the identity transform directly using that. At last! #xmlprague

I heard you right, but it's not so much fun if I don't misquote you out of context :)
Wondering if we should open the windows at #xmlprague, it's getting hot in here and I'm not quite ready to take the top off just yet.
I'll tell you what a 'ho is for.
Could. Not. Resist <grin type='sheepish'/>. You're not here this year? :(
@sheilaellen You'll have more luck with higher end browsers ({Opera,Safari} Mobile). IIRC NetFront doesn't. Opera Mini might, server-side.
It's about time someone got their act together and implemented XSLT 2.1 in a Javascript library. #xmlprague

Quels sont les meilleures sources pour suivre les résultats de ce soir depuis l'étranger? @lemondefr fait une bouse en Flash, ça marche pas.
I think Mohamed won the late night contest by being chivalrous in the face of lots of alcohol.
Dana adds axes to XPath for versioned documents, future-or-now:: etc. — surprisingly elegant approach. #xmlprague
This is #xmlprague day 2. I could tell the second I woke up, simply from the quality of the hangover.
@innovimax wants @xquery to give me a kiss at #xmlprague. I don't have enough brain cells left to understand why.

I believe the one about kebabs was a close second, but it was for "The Future Is Mutable" — thanks to @barefootliam!
It probably took closer to 10 seconds, so that makes an *hourly* rate of $216.000 — not too shabby. #xmlprague

Euh, le français se porte très bien, le nombre de francophones grandit chaque année. #aneries #maronniers
Mauvaise question. La bonne question c'est pourquoi voudrait-on convaincre les étrangers d'apprendre le français?
On a l'habitude d'interventions plus subtiles que ça de vôtre part ici!
It's very simple, all French operators are horrible. Just pick the cheapest one.
I don't think any of them does, but it's been a while since I last checked.

Toying with #sproutcore development locally, but it is horridly slow. Is it just me or is that a common issue?
@lauredlr Sans transparence, il n'y a plus de crédibilité. @deputetardy l'a bien compris!
Thanks for the tip. Mostly though, it's loading through the browser that seems constantly slow (load times >1 minute).
It places the decision to prefix or not in the hands of authors — if it works, cool, if it breaks, it's their fault.
In early tests #sproutcore looks real good, except for my speed issue and insufficient docs. I need to try it on sth more complex.
Today doesn't have rules for vendor prefix precedence as described there.
Trying that now, thanks! Is it possible to use the minified JS libs in development? (those not developer-edited I mean) #sproutcore
Thanks for all the #sproutcore suggestions, it is indeed much faster with Ruby 1.9.

Ah, didn't see that. The second thing to look at is the books you can get. After that, I guess it's mostly price.
