@adammark75 @tmaintz @brucel @dr_alexj Hey, can you send me a short take on your position for Wed's panel please? To robin@berjon. Thanks!

Is it possible for a Thunderbird Persona to change the Thunderbird icon? I might be looking wrong but I can't seem to find out.
Haha, no, but I'm now running two instances, one personal, one pro — I'd like to differentiate in Cmd-Tab!
Can someone confirm that MIT still exists?
Yes, tweeting about a problem usually solves it.
Heh, thanks — they've returned online after 45 minutes off the grid :)
Could you get it to use a locale other than Russian? @chaals
don't press the big orange button! ;-)
My OS locale is en and I'm still only getting Russian (perhaps because it's en-GB). cc @chaals
Me too :)
I have the same except that the first is "British English". It probably has faulty locale matching :)
C'est ce que j'en avais deviné grâce à "Mozilla Firefox". Du coup j'ai évité le pire.

Thanks a lot for your panel input!
@adammark75 @tmaintz @dr_alexj Given that only @brucel has sent me input for the panel I guess it's okay if I only ask questions of him? ;-)

Try putting British English or French as you favoured language in the System Prefs > Languages & Text > Language list.
Maybe it's a different issue, e.g. LC_ALL environment being set up wrong or something.

@grorg @graouts You guys going to TPAC this year?
@stevefaulkner You seem to still be using ReSpec v1 for alt-techniques. I'll fix output now, but can you upgrade for next rev please?
I noticed you'd hacked on top of it — it introduced pubrules errors ;-)
BTW, is role=group required on your figures? The validator doesn't like it.
Forget that, it's a validator bug
Nah it's ok, the bug's ours so no worries. Using old RS is more of a problem since the output is no longer accepted :)

Can't Opera just update itself instead of cryptically asking me to run "Update.app".

I know lots of Opera users!
@mnot Is there a normative definition of what should happen for a redirect on DELETE? Can't seem to track down any...
Hahaha. Opera is still big in mobile, especially on feature phones.
Everything makes sense with the right goggles.
Well, not defining how to process things means I can't write code against it and expect it to work… @mnot
Yup. I can't issue a redirect on a DELETE and expect something reasonable to happen. This makes GET action=del desirable :) @mnot
The user has no effing clue what a DELETE is or that I'm issuing it, nor should they… Asking them is as daft as it gets. @mnot
I don't have much hope that HTTP can be fixed here — I'm thinking about fixing this in XHR instead. @mnot
Are there any chances that I may get a reply other than "Oh, you're running a browser, so you must be wrong?" @mnot

AppCache is on the list because it *may* be slated for a major rework. These are suggestions at the moment.
It being on the list doesn't mean it'll end up actually at risk; it being at risk doesn't mean it'll get removed. @brucel
At risk just means stuff we know going in is on thin ice — but it could still hold. @brucel
So that we can drop them easily if they're not implemented or interoperable. @brucel

It looks like the Czech just elected a pirate senator \o/ @MichalekLibor
That's using a very old version of ReSpec, and the document has configuration issues (as seen in the console).
do you have a link with more info? I can't find anything that's not in Czech!
Docs could be clearer and more centralised, but look at these: dev.w3.org/2009/dap/ReSpe…
In general though, just use w3.org/Tools/respec/r… as the library and everything ought to just work fine.
It's just a one-line change! But yeah… no one's paying for this atm.
That's weird, Perl has good UTF8 support. What were you doing?

Perhaps shockingly, FO is actually used for production in that domain. Of course, that's probably something we need to fix :)

the question is : can I run that on ie6?

Damn right!
Oh yeah it was @lachy. He just walked out when the music got serious on the dance floor.
Yay, I'm all for Judge Amy!
It's not targeted at laptops, but nothing prevents it working there. I want to run it as a layer on top of OSX.
That way I can hope to progressively get decent apps to replace the overcluttered horrors that Apple is now sadly shipping.
But still get the option of falling back to OSX to run things that aren't there yet.
What else?
You're on!
