Les #cdp font tout un foin autour d'une initiative citée par Sarkozy. Ça pue le plan comm' désespéré. #RienComprisAuWeb
Oui, je suis d'accord, cette phrase est trop forte, surtout "bien pensant". Mais les faits sont présentés.
OH: "Looking at this closely, I think there might be a bug in the bug."
Shouldn't you be fumbling through your dissertation so that you can come back and help us? ;-p
DAP WG releases first stab at File Writer API ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-file-writer-api-20100406/ )
Don't email your MP about #debill, it's too cheap to matter much. Send proper old school snail mail, it speaks *much* louder.
What do you think is the best Javascript testing library or setup? Independent or part of something else are both fine. #lazyweb
I'm looking for a JS *testing* library, not just a library. I know of jQuery's testing framework, but I don't know how it ranks.
If you're seeing SVG buzz you should tweet it so that it spreads! #svg
Sessions W3C à la Cantine hier soir très intéressante, il y a un public à Paris pour des présentations techniques de bon niveau.
@bradneuberg, @shepazu Should we have some sort of refactoring #SVG meetup or (more organised) discussion? Seems there's energy to use!
You mean something like http://berjon.com/blog/2009/06/canvas-getsvg.html ?
If the only issue there is with it is the naming of the methods, then it's in pretty good shape :)

Congrats! I'm glad to see you're staying on the TAG; but be sure to enjoy the extra spare time!
Hell no! How else can you match namespaced content?
Firefox took 13 minutes to shut down — it's now officially as bad as Opera. Seriously, what's with those browsers that can't shut down fast?
Maybe 20 extensions? Most are Firebug add-ons though (and that doesn't explain the same issue in Opera).
There's plenty of room for improvement with it though, feel free to take an axe to it :)
Usually I don't wait and just kill it (it doesn't seem to cause data loss so I don't know what it's doing, really).
Nokia have never been very good at seizing that kind of moment, but it would be great if they did this time!
Catalyst are building a replacement for Excel? Where? I'm confused now :)
It depends on what you use flexboxes for, they are really bad for typical Web pages, better at apps. New tricks to learn, too.
I don't have that many extensions, mostly vanilla stuff. I think it's the number of tabs, and then it gets stuck somehow...

Man, but it has a second screen on which to show the time as a "personality integrating watch"!
I'm not the expert on those tricks sadly, I just remember that they exist from when I did some app dev. I can try to dig up IYW.
Will you livetweet Privacy OS for the rest of us?
Does Konqueror run on a grown-up OS these days?
L'accessibilité c'est bien, ça commence aussi par ne pas publier un document pur texte en Flash! #wai

Pre-3GS iPhones are already dog slow without multitasking, I don't know that I'd want to activate it.
Sure, but just trying it isn't enough motivation to jailbreak, so I doubt it'll lead to mass jailbreaking.
The geographic distribution of Opera users probably explains why you don't know any.
For children's books maybe, but I like my books to not move around thankyouverymuch — I'll stick to the #kindle!

Took a first stab at porting Widgeon to #JetPack Reboot, yields an XPI: http://bit.ly/cFVDCt. This might break your browser, it's your risk!
Whenever I google for something and w3schools comes up, I downvote it using Google's annotation system.
If we all do it it might work though. Maybe there's a campaign to run there.
Met with @paulrouget this morning to chat about #DAP — there's cool stuff to do! Looking forward to making the open web kick (more) arse :)

Yeah, I didn't try to be cross-browser at all — this was just meant to show on screen what's possible. Easily fixed though.
.@fabricedesre C'est du DocBook, si ça pique pas les yeux c'est que ça ne fait pas son boulot :)
Bonne surprise: si on demande gentiment au service client d'Orange d'arrêter leurs spams par SMS, ils le font!

They may have read about it, watched online reruns, etc. I didn't watch it on telly, but I know what happened there.
A 52Mo driver? Seriously? Dear printer vendors, you need to be dragged outside and shot. Very slowly. One grain of salt at a time.
You can write print drivers in .net for OSX? The world never ceases to amaze :)
I get the Flash icon indicating that FlashBlock is killing it (and I can't activate it). You sure there's SVG there?
Is there anything that can be done to make developer.mozilla.org more reliable? It's really a pain in the arse to use.
Weird! Not on Firefox 3.6...
@sgalineau It crashes Chrome for me :) Safari also shows some type of Flash. Strange!
Which framework, what problem?
YUI is inordinately sensitive to the markup around elements you're augmenting (e.g. being in a td instead of a div). That might bite...
Dunno if someone replied, but most of the time putting the script after </body> and doing YUI().use('deps', function () {...}) is good.

Seeing strange FF3.6 behaviour with an XHR request inside a postMessage event handler failing when there's an alert() involved. Weeeeird.
It's async, but to file:, which I think is what is throwing it off.
I maded you a script but it freezed the firefox.
ReSpec v2α — crash Firefox: ✓, crash Opera: ✓, confuse Safari: ✓, confuse Chrome: ✓. Ah well, there are days like this.

W3C Workshop on Privacy for Advanced Web APIs, 12-13 July 2010 in London http://w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws — I'm on the Program Committee.
Are you planning to go to the W3C Privacy for Advanced Web APIs workshop? http://www.w3.org/2010/api-privacy-ws/

Ce matin il semble que @Maitre_Eolas ait inventé le #figalol. Je parie sur un mème à bel avenir.
It's not just that, developer.mozilla.org routinely has super-slow pages that end up blank, even without redirects.
Some stuff like that is intended to go into the new CSS OM draft, jointly written by CSS and WebApps WGs.
As far as I know that's an implementation issue
Existe-t-il une transcription textuelle de cette interview? La video, c'est quand même moins bien...
Correct, the workshop's July 12-13.

Show me 1 case in which you put a dozen people who care deeply about grammars in the same room and didn't get an EBNF variant
That's what I've been trying to do on berjon.com — it's easier to mark what's important than the reverse (which you forget to do).

Oui mais je ne vois pas le + par rapport à une simple liste de liens. Ça met + de temps à charger que pour lire l'article 3 fois!

Ok, donc ça ne m'explique pas pourquoi l'export n'est pas juste une liste de liens :)
J'ai essayé d'aller regarder sur le site, mais c'est trop lent autant de Flash, ça fait surchauffer mon pauvre Air...

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that compared to all phones and PDAs I've had the #Kindle is the best device I've owned.
On est absentéiste régulier à partir de 4 demi-journées ratées par mois? Heh, c'est le nombre minimum que j'en ratais par semaine :)
A very close second in devices is my old Palm IIIx. The only thing that the iPhone added is colour.
@iskra2006 I haven't tried the iPad yet, I'll tell you when I do. It doesn't excite me much so far :)
1 an avec sursis, c'est tout? Pffffffft #pasqua La politique malhonnête, ça paie.
The only thing I see about the iPad that could be exciting is Apple shaking up Microsoft's dominance on the low-end home device.
Other than that, there's nothing in it I've seen that makes me want one; were I given one I'd probably sell it.
