| 04:07 | <Hixie> | wow, i just specced popup blocking without using the word "popup" or "blocking". |
| 04:07 | <Hixie> | didn't even realise it until i was done |
| 04:28 | <jdandrea> | Hixie: How'd you pull that one off? Nice. |
| 04:29 | <Hixie> | last bit of http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/section-windows.html |
| 04:29 | <jdandrea> | Thx |
| 04:30 | <jdandrea> | I find that choosing good words/names/etc. is one of the hardest (and most important) things you can do, hence my interest. Reading ... |
| 04:31 | <Hixie> | no guarentee the words are well chosen! |
| 04:31 | <jdandrea> | 's OK. It's a start. |
| 04:31 | <Hixie> | it's about iteration 50 of this particular section |
| 04:31 | <Hixie> | i keep rewriting it to make it better |
| 04:32 | <Hixie> | still not overly happy with it |
| 04:32 | <Hixie> | but it'll do for now |
| 04:52 | mpt | is unfortunately reminded of the checkbox label "Let Web pages ... [/] Open new windows by themselves" |
| 04:53 | <mpt> | Quite possibly the least understandable interface design I ever perpetrated |
| 04:54 | <mpt> | Hixie, "auxillary" -> "auxiliary" |
| 04:55 | <jdandrea> | In 4.1.2 - ah. |
| 04:55 | <jdandrea> | I'm just about to get to the good stuff. :) |
| 05:03 | <jdandrea> | Hixie: Nice. As for the wording, it's consistent with the rest of 4.1.3 rule 5. I like the use of auxiliary as well. |
| 05:19 | annevk | wonders if the rest of the world is asleep right now |
| 05:25 | <Hixie> | mpt: thanks, will try to remember to fix that |
| 05:50 | annevk | wonders if it's ok to give the same presentation, albeit modified, twice |
| 05:51 | <othermaciej> | if in different venues, sure |
| 05:52 | <annevk> | I'd like to make the one I just gave public |
| 05:52 | <annevk> | oh well, I'll just do it |
| 06:00 | <annevk> | FYI: http://www.w3.org/mid/op.tqwwnwan64w2qv@id-c0020 (presentation on HTML5 I gave today at QUT) |
| 07:02 | <othermaciej> | every time I've spoken in person to one or more Microsoft employees I ended up with a headache |
| 07:02 | <othermaciej> | I wonder if there is a pattern there |
| 07:02 | <Hixie> | really? |
| 07:03 | <othermaciej> | well, it's only a sample space of 3 |
| 07:03 | <Hixie> | do you get headaches often unrelatd to meeting microsoft employees? |
| 07:04 | <othermaciej> | sometimes, but not that often |
| 07:06 | <Hixie> | my recommendation: get more data |
| 07:06 | <othermaciej> | I'm not sure its worth it for the information value alone |
| 07:07 | <othermaciej> | *it's |
| 07:14 | <annevk> | I never had a headache before in relation to Microsoft employees |
| 07:15 | <othermaciej> | I think I might be allergic to Microsoft |
| 09:29 | <KevinMarks> | yay, my t-shirt came |
| 09:29 | <KevinMarks> | http://www.spreadshirt.com/shop.php?sid=108788 |
| 11:12 | <nickshanks> | "5 > 2" ? |
| 11:22 | <hsivonen> | wow. a SEO spammer or SEO spammers have picked up liorean's future of the web article and Google is happily informing me about all the bogus blogs that contain a copy of the article |
| 11:35 | <Hixie> | hsivonen: which query? |
| 11:54 | <hsivonen> | Hixie: http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&q=link:blog.whatwg.org&filter=0&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=atom |
| 11:54 | <Hixie> | thanks |
| 14:41 | <krijnh> | Anybody in here know a way to style active links in Opera? |
| 14:42 | <krijnh> | Active in the way you navigate to them with Shift + Arrows |
| 14:43 | <krijnh> | :focus only works when you hover an active anchor |
| 14:44 | <citoyen> | Theoretically :focus, though the styling is hidden by the selected text |
| 14:44 | zcorpan | got his t-shirt today |
| 14:44 | <krijnh> | citoyen: It works with an outline, but only once you hover the selected element |
| 14:45 | <citoyen> | Yeah, known |
| 14:45 | <krijnh> | K |
| 14:50 | <krijnh> | zcorpan: congrats btw ;) |
| 15:30 | <Dashiva> | Hixie: What's the reasoning for the void Table.delete* methods, rather than (e.g.) Table.remove* which return the removed element? |
| 15:35 | <zcorpan_> | krijnh: thanks |
| 17:50 | <zcorpan_> | http://shadow2531.com/opera/testcases/mht/000.mht the background doesn't cover the canvas in opera |
| 17:51 | <zcorpan_> | should it? |
| 18:00 | <hasather> | zcorpan_: yea, that looks like a bug |
| 18:01 | zcorpan_ | won't report it, though |
| 18:03 | <zcorpan_> | what's with people wanting to change element names? |
| 18:03 | zcorpan_ | hates naming |
| 18:10 | <Philip`> | The background appears to cover the canvas of the document which it's the background of - but that document is in an <object> inside the page that's actually being displayed, and the object doesn't fill that page |
| 18:12 | <hasather> | Philip`: ahh, you're right, didn't check that |
| 18:13 | <zcorpan_> | so that you can have multiple html pages after each other? |
| 18:15 | <zcorpan_> | makes sense |
| 22:14 | zcorpan_ | goes to add a subforum |
| 22:49 | <zcorpan_> | http://forums.whatwg.org/viewforum.php?f=3 |
