Erin Jo Richey:
Tonight Chrome crashed and didn't save my (excessive) open tabs. Shortly thereafter Firefox crashed during a video call. Good job browsers.
Erin Richie the second is rather a more impressive crash, though!
Laura Kalbag:
Cross-posting fail again. http://t.co/NXXHgrkWzG is so good for quoting a great line or two from an article. Twitter lacks the space.
Laura Kalbag feel free to point cross-poster builders towards POSSE To Twitter, we (indiewebcamp) have documented in detail best practises based on our own experiences and observations :)
Zachary Kain ☯:
@BarnabyWalters I use <pre> for poetry, since it is pre formatted text. I don't know if I'd ever warrant using a <br>
Zachary Kain as pre retains all whitespace it might be dangerous to use it for poetry — e.g. preserved indentation, lack of minification ability. In poetry’s case, br is more semantic — it represents the presence of a line break. Also you don’t get wrapping (although you may want it).
As usual, the “read the spec, make up your own mind, be willing to change it” rule applies :)
Zachary Kain Laura Kalbag br has some valid uses (e.g. poetry)
See also the whatwg br page
Laura Kalbag my current pet peeve is a h1, then a h2 directly below it which is not a header, just a paragraph the author wanted to make look bigger (or a subheader, like bootstrap does with the downright weird h1 -> small). I saw it once a while ago, now I’m seeing it everywhere :/
Julien Genestoux I’ll probably add one this afternoon — wrapped in a subscribe webaction, of course :)
Is the convention to have just one for the homepage (i.e. subscribe to “me”), or to have one wherever there is a feed (e.g. on my notes or articles pages?
Robin Andrews also, nice one for putting a #subToMe button on there! /cc Julien Genestoux
Robin Andrews you’ve gone from having no website to setting up your #indieweb identity, with POSSEing of posts out to social networks, in what — two months? Your brain has the right to be frazzled :) Well done, keep it up!
Kyle Weems:
I dislike having to deal with kludgy browsers too. But I also know my clients aren't interested in turning away many of their customers.
cssquirrel Zepto is nice for browser extensions, where the browser will always be modern and capable

Inside a guitar. Another inside the instrument photo via @BarnabyWalters http://t.co/LWKnaHSBcd
sophiedennis s/guitar/hurdy gurdy ;)
sophiedennis wow, that thing’s seen some serious repair work, judging by all those cleats! Related but not nearly as shiny:
Robin Andrews sort of — I get a notification, and I see it. The tweet is still public (anyone can see if they go to twitter.com/robinmujician), but it only appears in people’s feeds if they follow both of us.
Robin Andrews that’s the idea :) Use it for sarcasm, jokes, logging, diary, short conversations, political statements, quotes, links… just not conversation :) IRC/XMPP is better for that
Bastian Allgeier:
In 2016 Google Glass & Google Blink will be merged into Google Eye – a web-connected replacement for your right eye with great web standards
@bastianallgeier then, promptly shut down, removing the developed world’s ability to perceive depth.
Laura Kalbag:
My life is so much better since I forced Mail.app to copy 'email@emailaddress.com' rather than '<Full Name email@emailaddress.com>'
Laura Kalbag just the other day I was thinking that applications should accept those strings as valid email addresses, and parse them as such
Brennan Novak:
@BarnabyWalters ahh, glad you're staying @KexHostel as it is rawesome and cozy. I suggest eating downstairs, it's really tasty!
Brennan Novak yeah, KEX is great. I had breakfast downstairs on the first day, but I’m kinda short on cash right now so DIYing all food :)
mikewalters37 thanks! Will do :)
Brennan Novak:
@BarnabyWalters dah, you're correct on that! Apple should implement it though soon! In other news, you ready for adventure? :)
Brennan Novak more or less :) As ready as I’m likely to be. See you in April! #iceland
Brennan Novak:
Just learned, by adding "x-webkit-speech" to an <input type="text"> WebKit adds an icon that... http://t.co/MAXw2yQvVx
Brennan Novak by WebKit you mean “Chrome”, right? :)
Josh Emerson:
@BarnabyWalters Can you see if that bug is fixed now? May need to empty cache first.
Josh Emerson yep, functions perfectly now — nice work :)
