Just some simple performance–enhancing on #taproot these last few evenings — cached and parallelised pingbacks and identengine.com requests.

The jwentomologist reaction to a programme about bionics:

“They could use that to build a pantomime horse”

Currently #php-mf2 is passing 263, failing 199 of Glenn Jones’ latest #µf2 test suite. Time to change that a bit!

Turns out #zend doesn’t understand #composer and packagist, and using their packages from their server can cause serious errors. They don’t correctly specify all their packages’ dependencies, and they do publish breaking changes under patch (x.x.0) releases. #php #dev

Pushed some much-needed updates to llamajam.com — we’ve got some significant app improvements in the pipeline at the moment! #llamajam

Thoroughly enjoyed the #sfw hangout tonight, demonstrating #indieauth and learning about forkthelaw.org /cc @wardcunningham Aaron Parecki

Adventures in #pgsql, episode 1: Installed using aptitude. Went through create-new user dance. Figured out the template db is set to a useless encoding. Learnt how to regenerate the cluster using UTF-8.

Unhosted Adventures — a great guide to setting up your own #indieweb server /via Travis Wellman

Checked in to St. Mary's Church, Totnes for a #buzz rehearsal. Lots of nice tunes in our upcoming gig!

T1: Checking to see what’s up with the weird note author thing

Just finished watching Star Wars: A New Hope Uncut. A fantastic project which was surprisingly easy to get lost in despite constant character gender and species changes (sometimes mid-sentence).

aral oh so you're suggesting it'd be a Boolean attr? That I could get behind – easy to polyfill too.

aral that is the use case, but as I demonstrated the label "continue" is ambiguous. Anyway, twitter isn’t the place :) Want to discuss it in IRC, e.g. #whatwg?

aral I disagree, "continue" is confusing compared to start. Start = start from a number, continue = what? Continue from a number? So the list should start from that number plus one? Or continue from another ol (perhaps by using an id reference)?

I don't feel emotionally intelligent enough to write anything which adequately sums up my anger at the sexism-in-tech situation.

Fortunately, @sazzy, rellyab and many others are, and have. Props to you all, keep going, I will support you however I can.

Booked my flight to Iceland and now submitting my first speaking proposal — this is an exciting evening! /cc @briansuda @digpen sophiedennis
