| 00:02 | <MikeSmith> | jruderman: thanks for pointing that one out |
| 00:02 | <MikeSmith> | I see http://bugs.ecmascript.org/report/1 |
| 00:03 | <MikeSmith> | trying to remember what's different between 3.1 and Harmony |
| 00:12 | <MikeSmith> | http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=es3.1:es3.1_proposal_working_draft |
| 00:13 | <MikeSmith> | great that they don't publish the draft in HTML, but they do provide it in MS Word format in addition to PDF. way to go the extra mile |
| 00:16 | <jgraham> | MikeSmith: HTML is dead, compared to MS Word, HTML is lame |
| 00:16 | <jgraham> | Only old people use HTML |
| 00:16 | <MikeSmith> | heh |
| 00:17 | <jgraham> | Real users need entiprise features like Wordart |
| 00:18 | <MikeSmith> | I prefer OpenOffice format, because using the OpenOffice applications is great torture test of the CPU and memory resources of my machine |
| 00:18 | <jgraham> | heh |
| 00:47 | <gsnedders> | MikeSmith: So, basically, I'm just trying to do a dissertation as controversial as possible :) |
| 00:48 | <MikeSmith> | gsnedders: reading Nabakov is great cure for sleeplessness |
| 00:48 | <gsnedders> | MikeSmith: I am, however, starting to run out of (English) Nabokov I haven't yet read :) |
| 00:49 | <MikeSmith> | I recommend abandoning him completely and reading all of Flann O'Brien instead |
| 00:49 | <gsnedders> | MikeSmith: That wouldn't bode well for my English dissertation, though |
| 00:50 | <MikeSmith> | fuck it, prove to them that you are a risk-taker and an original |
| 00:50 | <gsnedders> | :) |
| 00:50 | <MikeSmith> | and if they don't like that, burn the school down |
| 00:51 | <gsnedders> | Oh, I think my English teacher would let me |
| 00:51 | <MikeSmith> | that fallback strategy always worked well for me |
| 00:51 | gsnedders | has already completely changed his computing project |
| 00:51 | gsnedders | is now working on Anolis in a slight guise |
| 00:51 | <takkaria> | read Camus instead :) |
| 00:52 | <takkaria> | my sister found me a first english edition of The Plague for christmas, it really made my day |
| 00:52 | <gsnedders> | Ah |
| 00:53 | <MikeSmith> | gsnedders: English teachers are easy to manipulate, because their grasp of reason and logic is usually pretty shakey. Most of them did really poorly at math and science, which is why they ended up becoming English teachers |
| 00:53 | <gsnedders> | I got a couple of non-fiction books from my mother, and The Time Traveller's Wife from my sister |
| 00:53 | <gsnedders> | (which I have had several friends recommend to me) |
| 00:54 | <takkaria> | ay, it's a good book |
| 00:54 | <gsnedders> | (I could make an interesting observation about their choice of recommending that book to me with what they know about me, but this is publicly logged :)) |
| 01:02 | <gsnedders> | (hint: It relates to the title character's first name) |
| 01:07 | <Hixie> | ok finally completed gta iv |
| 10:52 | <gsnedders> | Hixie: Did I ever say that myself and BenMillard found the Spiderman walk-through level hard? |
| 10:53 | <gsnedders> | Hixie: Mainly because we were laughing so much we didn't actually know what we were meant to do. |
| 12:45 | <annevk> | "PS: what we probably need now is more implementation of current W3C Reccomandations like XForms 1.0, instead of running behind the latest HTML5 Editor's Drafts)" |
| 12:46 | annevk | thinks Giovanni missed the reason the WHATWG was initiated |
| 13:53 | <olliej> | annevk: hehe |
| 14:48 | <yecril71> | 1st of all, I wish everyone an abundance of Christmas blessings. |
| 14:48 | <yecril71> | It is easy to tell the first occurrence of a technical term from the following ones. |
| 14:48 | <yecril71> | That is what the DFN element is for. |
| 14:49 | <yecril71> | Alex wanted to say that it should be possible to attach other script engines to existing HTML documents. |
| 14:49 | <yecril71> | But that is already supported. |
| 14:51 | <annevk> | yecril71, some context in the form of quotes or URLs would help when you place one of your comments in IRC |
| 14:51 | <annevk> | I often have a hard time telling what you're on about |
| 15:06 | <yecril71> | I am trying to formulate my remarks so that they are context-free. |
| 15:07 | <yecril71> | Aren�t they? |
| 15:08 | <yecril71> | The context would be visible if I were allowed to use e-mail reply function. |
| 15:09 | <yecril71> | But I have been asked not to do this because my remarks are considered unconstructive. |
| 17:27 | <gsnedders> | <blockquote><p>foo<p>bar</blockquote> magic |
| 17:28 | <gsnedders> | How can I get the magic to be displayed just after the "bar", on the same line? |
| 17:37 | <erlehmann> | gsnedders, use css to make the blockquote an inline-block |
| 17:38 | <erlehmann> | "display:inline-block;" should do it |
| 17:38 | <gsnedders> | erlehmann: Does that stop margins from folders? |
| 17:38 | <erlehmann> | what are "folders" ? |
| 17:39 | <gsnedders> | *folding |
| 17:39 | <erlehmann> | inline-block behaves like an "inline replaced element", AFAIK |
| 17:40 | <erlehmann> | but i think margin folding stops only when using floats, wasn't it that ? i am unsure. |
| 17:40 | <gsnedders> | It appears to stop folding in Saf |
| 17:40 | <gsnedders> | (It's no issue, because I shouldn't really have a margin on the blockquote anyway) |
| 17:42 | <erlehmann> | what is "saf" ? |
| 17:42 | <gsnedders> | Safari |
| 17:42 | <erlehmann> | ah |
| 18:35 | <gsnedders> | Hmm… |
| 18:36 | <gsnedders> | q for something someone said is fine (e.g., <q>I am</q>, he said), yet isn't fine in fiction, as you aren't actually quoting anyone arguably. |
| 20:01 | <ap> | Hixie: ayt? |
| 20:47 | <dave_levin> | ap: Dec 27 is Hixie's b-day (according to what he said in irc a day or two ago), so in 10 minutes for you.... :) |
| 20:48 | <ap> | cool, if he was here, I could perhaps be the first to congratulate :-) |
| 20:54 | <gsnedders> | Hixie: Happy One-Year-To-Doomage! |
| 23:06 | <erlehmann> | anyone here at 25c3 ? |
| 23:49 | <Lachy> | Happy Birthday Hixie |
