Is it a new shirt? It could be the washing powder, sometimes it's allergenic. In that case wash it yourselves and try again!

Has anyone found a good clip-on night light for the #Kindle? I see the XtraFlex2 mentioned lots, but it seems huge on pictures.

And there I was thinking I didn't need an iPad! Thanks for pointing out to me its most useful feature :)
Et ça marche bien le FedICT? Pas trop de foirages dans les sites gouvernementaux?
Wow, very impressed with http://jailbreakme.com/. This is quite the scary security hole. Is the iPhone the new Outlook?
I find that I can't switch between JS and other languages anymore (in my case, Perl). I've gone for JS everywhere.
It tends to run a little less well in the browser ;)

Grands dieux! Une refonte du site de la SNCF. Comme dhab, c'est juste différemment raté. Ils n'ont toujours pas entendu parler d'ergonomie.
I want to try this Inbox Zero gimmick. I think I'm now down to only email from 2010. And only 3953 to go!
Y'a moyen de convaincre une Livebox de laisser passer le SMTP sortant?
Ah super! En fait, j'y avais pensé mais je n'avais pensé qu'il y aurait un password par défaut — ta réponse m'a fait tenter :)

A sentence you don't want to read: "Note that due to ambiguities in ISO 8601, some interpretations had to be made."
SNCF is indeed bad, thankfully it's being opened to competition so hopefully an alternative will emerge (CapitaineTrain?)
Oui, tous les autres pays européens ont de bons sites de train — nous on se farcit la SNCF...
Pourquoi ne pas faire réaliser le site par des professionnels plutôt que de renvoyer les gens vers un forum?
La plupart des pays UE ont des sites de train utilisables — pourquoi cet acharnement de la SNCF à être la risée de tous?

.@michaelhkay Don't. I tried it as I was shaving yaks and didn't expect it to tweet on my behalf.
Is there a CfP for @pdf_europe ? I'm digging around but can't seem to find one.
A fun service would be to generate the reverse-blame path for such virals :) I blame @LeGuillaume...
Ah si seulement l'URSSAF pouvait se faire aussi claire et diligente que le fisc, je suis sûr qu'on irait gratter un dixième de PIB!
Je t'accusais traitrement de m'avoir fait cliquer sur le truc Twifficiency :)

Thanks. You don't seem to be testing for circular references, though, right?

Eva Joly n'a pas besoin de parler de son passé de magistrate — tout le monde connait. Si elle focalise dessus, elle va rester bloquée.
You're not wrong, it's the C of the tomorrow ;-)
Je me demande si ça ne vaudrait pas le coup de faire un france.fr communauté, open source, crowdsourcé. Juste pour voir.
Pas faux, mais je crains que l'invocation de Gingrich ne te vaille un Point Triton.

SizeUp looked interesting, but its fullscreen still has those braindead margins on the side :(
Privacy-preserving device APIs — that's *really* interesting! You should send your intern to DAP :)
Coding for NodeJS with loads of GitHub dependencies is fun in much the same way that taming wild dragons is.
Indeed, but it's not just that, it's also the number of things one ends up using that aren't quite "polished" just yet :)
Bah, I go off on vacation and come back to find that Connect has completely changed its API. Discouraging, really...
I really wish Linux would get its act together, OSX effing breaks the whole dev environment with every update... Just one of those days...

Yup, last I tried Ubuntu on a regular Thinkpad it would barely start, never found the network or the sound...
The first word Ashley could say was "no". The second one she just added is "boom". I see great promise.

Observers are always welcome at DAP meetings, but we ask that you register beforehand so the logistics don't go crazy!

@JeniT Could it be related to this: http://www.w3.org/mid/AANLkTikEntspAXLHAPJp-TseTeLBmw=QyCwfKOs5FPYA@mail.gmail.com ?
Mean and mischievous, that's definitely me! ;-)
That does indeed sound yummy!
If it's webkit only, isn't it just a "webkit project" rather than "web"? ;-)
Ta, I'll give it a try!
Sadly, I have. And NetFront too! But there are alternatives to WebKit anyway!
At least you get to vote most of the time, us non-resident citizens are permanently banned...
Motorola bought 280 North? Really? Motorola? Doing decent software? That would be new...
Je passerai ce soir à la République des Blogs, histoire de boire un verre (ou quatorze) et de rigoler un peu. #RDB
@ledahulevogyre Woah, un dahut!
You don't say... RT @brianleroux: grrr. I dislike re-following ppl that have been magically dropped @twitter.
My daughter's third word is the cat's name, Billie. Before "mum" or "dad" :)
Yes, I'm afraid her non-verbal negotiation skills show an early mastering of game theory, too.
Indeed, cats are awesome, and certainly more interesting than those two big people taking care of you.

By Web Services stack do you mean SOAP, WSDL, and all those dead technologies? Woah. Makes sense though.
@michaelhkay The Saxon zip puts its content in the same directory, instead of creating a saxon/ to put it in. It's annoying! ;-)
There's a fun place in the middle: coopetition!
@lemondefr Bon sérieusement vous n'en avez pas marre de nous faire des alertes sur des sujets complètement inintéressants?
Drink more beer! RT @qikipedia: An adult produces enough urine each year to drive a car (powered by hydrogen in the urea) 2700 kilometres
Really? That's interesting, you're the first person I meet who actually prefers it that way!
Every time I've used any issue tracker I've been tempted to write my own. But then again, it's the same for so many things...

Your link came our all starred, was that on purpose or was it somehow so NSFW that Twitter stepped in? ;)
Is it me or is the Mac experience getting worse in terms of system stability? I used to have far fewer of these problems.
It doesn't change question 7, either.
Hey man, even though you've joined the dark side, will you drop by SVG Open to say hi?

Is there a way to turn off Word's belief that it knows better than I which white space I wish to select, to delete, etc.?
Also, is there a way to convince Word that a deleted footnote has really been deleted and that it can number the others without it?
Every time I open Word I am fascinated that no one has managed to produce something better, and that MS doesn't ever seem to fix bugs.
I wish man, I wish. But for this project, I have little choice. It's entirely non-technical.
In Word, smart quotes apparently means "you can only have open quotes, unless you type it seventeen times to get a closing one"

I think they'd be sympathetic, but I guess it won't be possible because by then it won't be compatible with Windows 7 :)
If I had a time machine, I'd go back about a decade and kill the attribute/property distinction in SVG (oh, and elliptical arcs) #svgopen
Based on responses from the panel, it seems like the implementers don't got no XBLs. #svgopen
There was a pun in there, not sure it translates to Dutch.

Selon Le Monde, "La Belgique replonge dans le marasme politique". Je crois que j'avais raté l'épisode où ils en étaient sortis.
I think they've invented a new political system, and we're analysing it wrong by using classical models.
Je crois que c'est plutôt 250 millions par jour (23 milliards au total). C'est déjà pas mal!
Does it need to be bad to hamper creativity?

C'est moi ou il est avéré que Woerth a produit un témoignage mensonger devant un officier de PJ? Ça risque un peu ça, non?
Same thing as for arbitrary elements, you would black out unsafe origin content I guess.
Very good discussion of EXI and SVG at #svgopen. Some of those issues have been around for a decade, it's about time we did something!
