annevk: incredible post. please do that again.

<webben>
annevk: Very useful even for those of us who make some headway against the deluge of standards mail. Thank you :)
00:31
<nessy>
thanks for mentioning me ;-)
00:32
<nessy>
it's great to see it all together!
00:33
<nessy>
or which of the annevk posts of recent are we talking about… (blog… email … too much goodness to count!)
00:47
<Hixie>
ok, i finished http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Change_Proposal_for_ISSUE-129
00:47
<Hixie>
looking for someone to review it
00:48
<Hixie>
before i submit it
00:48
<Hixie>
deadline is tuesday.
00:56
<AryehGregor>
Okay, so when you're extending to something that's not in the same tree, it just replaces the selection's start and end with the target point . . . but sets the direction of the selection to backwards? Seriously?
00:56
<AryehGregor>
Why backwards?
00:56
<AryehGregor>
(in Firefox)
00:56
<AryehGregor>
(I can't figure out what WebKit is doing here)
01:01
<AryehGregor>
(the entire API is broken and insane, and WebKit's implementation is even more broken and insane)
01:05
<Hixie>
sounds like the dnd api
01:10
<AryehGregor>
It seems like in WebKit, after selection.addRange(range), it is not necessarily true that range == selection.getRangeAt(0). This means that among other things, I can't figure out how to determine the direction of a selection . . .
01:10
<AryehGregor>
Actually, I can't figure out how to modify selections reliably at all in WebKit.
01:13
<AryehGregor>
Okay, hmm, maybe it just doesn't like ranges that aren't in the document . . . ?
01:19
<AryehGregor>
Well, I guess WebKit just gets to fail a whole bunch of extra tests.
01:41
<AryehGregor>
Yay, I finally found some Gecko behavior that made so little sense that I just ignored it and specced what made sense.
01:41
<AryehGregor>
(Doesn't seem to have appreciable likelihood of compat issues.)
01:42
<AryehGregor>
(Although heaven only knows for sure . . .)
01:42
<AryehGregor>
Okay, I'm off to bed.
02:12

02:13
<MikeSmith>
well written

indeed great if AI Squared are in fact going to get more involved

<a-ja>
anyone: when's Tab normally around?
08:30
<Hixie>
a-ja: weekdays, UTC-8
08:31
<a-ja>
tks Hixie, kinda what i figured.
08:32
<a-ja>
not whatwg-related. css3-images thing
08:56
<MikeSmith>
http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2011/01/HashInURI-20110115#ViolateW3CSpecs claims that sites are using processing of fragment identifiers that violates RFC 2854
08:56
<MikeSmith>
but I can't see that RFC 2854 actually defines any processing behavior at all
08:57
<Hixie>
othermaciej: what's the deadline on CCPs for ISSUE-130? the issue-status page doesn't say
09:01
<asmodai>
hah, awesome http://w3fools.com/
09:03
<MikeSmith>
Hixie: no deadline listed at http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/issue-status.html#ISSUE-130
09:03
MikeSmith
checks archive to see if previous mail gave one
09:04
<MikeSmith>
Hixie: February 12th
09:04
<Hixie>
issue-status seems way out of date
09:04
<MikeSmith>
it seems
09:04
<Hixie>
k, thanks
09:04
<MikeSmith>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Jan/0117.html
09:11
<MikeSmith>
man, there are exactly two paragraphs about fragment IDs in RFC 2854
09:11
<MikeSmith>
96 words
09:13
<hsivonen>
soo. If I have a <video> element in Konqueror that support <video> but not the format of the file I'm using
09:13
<hsivonen>
and I call .play()
09:13
<hsivonen>
Konqueror doesn't fire an error event on the <video>
09:13
<hsivonen>
does anyone happen to know if it fires something else?
09:14
<hsivonen>
or do I need to work with readystates and timeouts?
09:52
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: you're using <video src=""> or <video><source src="">?
09:53
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: src
09:53
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: <video src=""> that is
09:53
<annevk>
(thanks for all the Internet karma everyone -- will write again)
09:53
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: should I expect <source> to work better? I was guessing it offered more opportunity for bugs.
09:54
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: ok. the reason i ask is that for <source>, error is fired on the source element, not the video element
09:54
<zcorpan>
per spec, no idea about in konq
09:55
<hsivonen>
Aside: the Konq "controls" UI sucks
09:56
<Hixie>
ok i sent out the CCP for -129
09:59
<annevk>
that's a long change proposal :)
09:59
<Hixie>
oh hey the deadline for -120 is coming up. I guess I'd better write that up.
09:59
<Hixie>
that's the one about removing xmlns="" and co from rdfa
10:00
<annevk>
do you think it's worthwhile changing RDFa?
10:01
<annevk>
to me it sort of falls in the same category as people wishing to use XForms or XHTML 2.0
10:02
<Hixie>
i just want namespaces out of text/html
10:02
<annevk>
yeah, admittedly that is kind of sucky
10:03
<annevk>
and people using RDFa as an argument that it is possible, while really it is not (although they are quite persistent about not grasping what is actually going on)
10:03
<Hixie>
yeah
10:03
<Hixie>
(and yeah)
10:07
<hsivonen>
annevk: xmlns in RDFa is an error committed into REC after the W3C welcomed HTML5 into the W3C
10:07
<hsivonen>
annevk: XForms went to REC before that time
10:07
<Hixie>
"welcomed"
10:07
<hsivonen>
Hixie: I'm trying to be polite here
10:07
<Hixie>
ah, my bad :-)
10:08
<jgraham>
Where is createContextualFragment specified these days? In one of the things that AryehGregor is working on?
10:09
<Hixie>
right. bed time now. i'll work on tilting at windmills on tuesday.
10:09
<Hixie>
nn
10:10
<hsivonen>
jgraham: in one of the specs Ms2ger is working on
10:12
<jgraham>
hsivonen: Thanks. Life was so much easier in the past when the answer to "who's specifying this" was either "No one" or "Hixie"
10:14
<jgraham>
Now it is "No one: or "Hixie" or "One of Hixie's minions". Which is just confusing.
10:16
<MikeSmith>
we need to get some greater diversity into this work
10:17
<MikeSmith>
maybe I can recruit some of the yakuza guys who I chat with now and then at my sento
10:17
<MikeSmith>
those dudes know how to get stuff done
10:23
<jgraham>
MikeSmith: Maybe they could work on HyBi :)
10:23
<jgraham>
s/HyBi/Websockets/
10:24
<MikeSmith>
jgraham: yes
10:25
<MikeSmith>
now we're on to something
10:25
<MikeSmith>
we should brainstorm more often, make magic like this
10:25
<MikeSmith>
jgraham: I think you had it right the first time
10:26
<MikeSmith>
Websockets is fine, basically
10:26
<MikeSmith>
the problem lies elsewhere…
10:27
<MikeSmith>
if the hybi mailing list had a theme song, I wonder what it would be
10:28
<MikeSmith>
for example, that whatwg theme song is "Teenage Dream" by T. Rex
10:29
<MikeSmith>
especially the chorus ("What ever happened to the teenage dream?")
10:30
<webr3>
MikeSmith, something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydVp-2B8qlw
10:30
<jgraham>
Somehow the first song that comes to mind is "Heavn Knows I'm Miserable Now"
10:30
<MikeSmith>
heh
10:30
<webr3>
see 0:49
10:33
<MikeSmith>
they shouldn't mock the tuba
10:33
<MikeSmith>
the tube is pope ratzinger's favorite instrument
10:34
<MikeSmith>
he says its that instrument which is most like the voice of god
10:36
<MikeSmith>
the pope is also really fond of the Amen Break
10:36
<webr3>
hixie, hsivonen, annevk - can you quickly sum up the problem with namespaces (under whatever guise, not just the xmlns variant) for me?
10:36
<MikeSmith>
but not for the reason you would think
10:39
<annevk>
webr3, did you review http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Namespace_confusion ?
10:40
<annevk>
I updated the posting rules: http://blog.whatwg.org/submit-article
10:40
<webr3>
annevk, cheers - not in a while, I'll re-read just now
10:41
<webr3>
quick q, is xmlns support in, or out, of "HTML 5"
10:41
<annevk>
Basically one of the nine administrators has to set up an account for someone if they want to post an article on the WHATWG blog
10:41
<annevk>
webr3, there's no xmlns support in the XML sense in the HTML syntax
10:42
<jgraham>
webr3: Well you can use XMLNS in XHTML5
10:42
<jgraham>
But there is no namespace support in HTML5 in general
10:42
<webr3>
so, if xmlns was only support when RDFa is used in X-whatever, would that help?
10:43
<annevk>
xmlns is in a different namespace in HTML
10:43
<annevk>
so it is not the same
10:43
<annevk>
it's not in a namespace, to be pedentaic
10:43
<annevk>
pedantic
10:54
<jgraham>
MikeSmith: I think, however that the final naswer must be "let Down"
10:54
<jgraham>
s/let/Let/
10:55
<MikeSmith>
the pope?
10:56
<MikeSmith>
yeah, what a chump that clown is
11:02
<jgraham>
MikeSmith: No, before that :) The Pope could hardly be a disappointment. That would imply some level of expectation
11:02
<MikeSmith>
heh
11:02
<MikeSmith>
but he out-clowns the previous guy
11:02
<MikeSmith>
and that's an achievement
11:03
<annevk>
Lachy, can you take a look at http://blog.whatwg.org/wp-admin/upload.php ?
11:03
<hsivonen>
Aargh! Windows Genuine Disadvantage! My properly purchased copy of Windows 7 Professional suddenly tells me it's not genuine upon booting. Booted fine earlier today.
11:03
<erlehmann>
MikeSmith, editors and commitee chairs should try to do the same thing!
11:04
<annevk>
Lachy, it seems all media resources are incorrectly linked
11:04
<MikeSmith>
they're seriously gonna make that joker an official saint… kind of like giving the Nobel Peace Prize to President Predator Drone
11:05
<hsivonen>
ok. then I clicked Get Genuine and it changed its mind and decided it was Genuine already.
11:11
<Philip`>
Sainthood requires miracles to have been performed that are scientifically inexplicable, but it seems they only require one or two instances - I think they ought to have a higher standard and require statistically significant evidence of miraculous healing among people who pray to the would-be saint compared to a control group of atheists, to rule out coincidence
11:13
<erlehmann>
MikeSmith, little known is the fact that it was the “Nobel War is Peace Price” ;)
11:13
<MikeSmith>
heh
11:13
<erlehmann>
:D
11:20
<jgraham>
Philip`: If the church was to embrace the scientific method to that extent, would it not lead them to Occam's razor, which advises against adopting hypotheses such as "everything is controlled by an all-powerful, yet unverifiable, being"
11:24
<MikeSmith>
I feel sorry for the saints that nobody prays too
11:25
<MikeSmith>
those ones must get depressed sometimes
11:26
<pluma>
Stop antropomorphicizing fictional characters and dead people
11:26
<MikeSmith>
no point of going to all the trouble to live and perform miracles and then die and in spite of all your efforts nobody ask for your help
11:27
<pluma>
I think saints need post-mortem miracles.
11:27
<pluma>
Not during their lifetime.
11:33
<MikeSmith>
sometimes demons do miracles in the name of a particular saint so that people will pray to that saint, but in reality the demon has set of a man-in-the-middle exploit and when you pray to that saint, all the traffic is redirected to that demon instead, and he gets all the linkage and google rank and ad juice instead
11:40
<annevk>
MikeSmith, hahaha
11:42
<Lachy>
annevk, ok, I'll take a look at it later. Not sure what's going on, but it's probably a bug in WordPress
11:42
<Lachy>
hmm, unless the files were lost somehow
11:45
<annevk>
it seems the links first go to http and then a local directory
11:45
<annevk>
also
11:45
<annevk>
for me ssh blog.whatwg.org broke
11:46
<Lachy>
ssh works for me. what username are you using?
11:46
<annevk>
annevk
11:47
<annevk>
I get this
11:47
<annevk>
The RSA host key for blog.whatwg.org has changed,
11:47
<annevk>
and the key for the corresponding IP address 69.163.222.251
11:47
<annevk>
is unknown. This could either mean that
11:47
<annevk>
DNS SPOOFING is happening or the IP address for the host
11:47
<annevk>
and its host key have changed at the same time.
11:48
<Lachy>
no, the blog is under the my username lhunt and the wiki is under whatwikiuser.
11:49
<Lachy>
your key is in the authorized_keys file, so lhunt⊙wo should work for you
11:49
<annevk>
interesting
11:49
<annevk>
thanks
11:50
<Lachy>
I checked, those images are missing from the wp-content/uploads/ directory.
11:50
<Lachy>
they must have somehow been missed during an upgrade and overwritten
11:51
<Lachy>
not sure how though, cause I always copied wp-content/* whenever I did that
12:00
<MikeSmith>
oh, I thought "Growl" was what the native notification mechanism in Mac OSX is called
12:01
<MikeSmith>
but I guess it's not
12:01
<hsivonen>
MikeSmith: there's no native mechanism, is there?
12:01
<MikeSmith>
oh
12:01
<annevk>
yeah, they don't do notifications
12:01
<hsivonen>
but everyone who wants one installs Growl
12:01
<jgraham>
But lots of apps support growl
12:02
<jgraham>
So it is kind of a de-facto standard
12:02
<MikeSmith>
well, what is is that apps use to pop up notification windows that oveher appsrlay ot
12:02
<MikeSmith>
I didn't think I had Growl installed
12:02
<MikeSmith>
maybe I do
12:02
MikeSmith
checks
12:02
<jgraham>
If by "standard" you mean "used by most of twenty-something mac users in the bay area"
12:02
<jgraham>
"twenty-something" in age, not in number
12:02
<MikeSmith>
heh
12:03
<MikeSmith>
well, I got Growl.. so I guess that's what the apps I have that do it are using
12:03
<MikeSmith>
and I guess I wasn't wrong after all
12:03
<MikeSmith>
yay me
12:15
<annevk>
almost makes sense MikeSmith :)
12:15
<annevk>
your tweet
12:15
<MikeSmith>
I'm trying
12:16
<MikeSmith>
"overtollige" is a great word
12:17
<MikeSmith>
anyway, sometimes it's more fun to halfway make sense than it is to fully make sense
12:20
<annevk>
hahaha
12:20
<annevk>
"dicht genoeg"
12:21
<annevk>
I guess this is what the Dutch deserve for literally translating Dutch sentences into English :)
12:21
<annevk>
brilliant
12:27
<hsivonen>
In case anyone wishes to contribute, http://webm.html5.org/ needs a better test clip (shorter, like one second, and maybe showing the text WebM fading in)
12:28
<hsivonen>
(I put whatever .webm file I happened to have there as a placeholder)
12:28
<hsivonen>
also, in case anyone wishes to contribute, it needs some fancy CSS
12:35
<hsivonen>
(I didn't put any logos there, because I don't want to deal with copyright and trademark issues)
12:38
<hsivonen>
Also, I'd be interested in how to best forward-compatibly code around Konqueror's brokenness
12:40
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: nice
12:41
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: thanks
12:42
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: which events do you get in konq?
12:42
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: I don't know
12:42
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: not the ones I listen for
12:43
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: you could listen for all events the spec mentions and see what you get
12:43
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: I guess I'll have to try that :-(
12:49
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/780
12:49
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: very nice! thanks
12:50
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: no events at all on Ubuntu
12:51
<karlcow>
MikeSmith: your answer about the fragment id is at http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2.4
12:51
<karlcow>
it is in HTML 4.01
12:51
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: no events on Fedora, either
12:51
<MikeSmith>
karlcow: nope it's not
12:51
<karlcow>
>A reference to an unavailable or unidentifiable resource is an error. Although user agents may vary in how they handle such an error,
12:51
<MikeSmith>
yeah
12:52
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: i don't get anything logged in safari either, which is weird
12:52
<karlcow>
hmmm indeed talking about resources
12:52
<karlcow>
but not fragment ids
12:52
<MikeSmith>
yeah
12:52
<karlcow>
maybe the misunderstanding comes from here
12:53
<MikeSmith>
the misunderstanding comes from the fact that it was never really specified, despite what that TAG draft seems to claim
12:56
<karlcow>
yep yep. There are a few mistakes to fix in the draft. I identified typos too.
12:58
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: oh now i got some events in safari.. but no error event
13:05
<MikeSmith>
http://www.openpr.com/news/158592/Marco-Reversible-Pumps-Boat-Horns-Introduced-to-US-Market-via-HTML5-Portal-by-Miami-Web-Designer.html
13:33
<annevk>
hmm
13:33
<annevk>
so now if I update an old blog post to fix an error a tweet gets posted
13:33
<annevk>
I thought that would only happen when publishing...
13:33
<annevk>
bah
13:35
<annevk>
teh people from twitters are not offended so far fortunately
13:36
Philip`
assumes anyone who uses Twitter much is already adept at ignoring repeated information
15:10
<annevk>
so now I have some "old" HTC Android phone as well
15:10
<annevk>
iPhone broke down teehee
15:12
<annevk>
not as nice, but reasonable
15:18
<annevk>
also, having contacts and calendar in the cloud is gold
15:18
<annevk>
no computer needed for setup
15:20
<annevk>
oh, and the phone can update itself
15:20
<hsivonen>
annevk: what does "old" in quotes mean here?
15:21
<annevk>
it means it was EUR 200 and not 500
15:22
<annevk>
it's a white phone and only says "htc" and "WITH HTC SENSE" on the back
15:22
annevk
goes to look on the box
15:23
<annevk>
HTC Wildfire
15:23
<hsivonen>
that's not so old. it's just otherwise designed for a less expensive price point
15:24
<hsivonen>
annevk: it has an older CPU ISA
15:24
<hsivonen>
ARM v6 as opposed to v7
15:24
<hsivonen>
does Opera run on v6?
15:24
<hsivonen>
Firefox wants v7
15:24
<annevk>
I have no idea
15:24
<Rik`>
hsivonen: I think Opera runs on V6
15:25
<hsivonen>
Rik`: do they only ship a v6 binary or do they ship two binaries so that v7 users get faster code?
15:25
<Rik`>
I have no idea
15:26
<hsivonen>
when my SIM broke and I thought my phone broke, I considered buying a HTC Wildfire, but then I learned Firefox doesn't run on it
15:26
<annevk>
I'm a bit displeased with t-mobile for not just setting me up with a temporary phone, but on the other I'm glad I can still use the same SIM while it is in repairs
15:26
<slartsa>
super.onActivityResult(requestCode,
15:26
<slartsa>
argh
15:26
<annevk>
things could be worse
15:26
<hsivonen>
and then I learned that my SIM was broken so I didn't have to buy a new phone
15:26
<jgraham>
hsivonen: Yes, I think it does (Opera)
15:27
<hsivonen>
jgraham: ok
15:27
<annevk>
hsivonen, ah
15:27
<annevk>
hsivonen, yeah, they tested a new SIM first, but it is something with the Phone app on the iPhone apparently
15:27
<hsivonen>
jgraham: does any flavor of Opera Mobile support WebM yet?
15:27
<annevk>
HTC power adapter is also less elegant
15:28
<hsivonen>
annevk: I'm looking forward to your findings on how well a touch UI works with a small screen
15:28
<annevk>
so far it's not too bad
15:29
<annevk>
it gives some kind of feedback by trilling which is really quite nice
15:30
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/productspecs/
15:30
<daedb>
hah, you've got the same phone as I do now (except mine isn't white) :p
15:30
<hsivonen>
I want a small phone that runs Firefox and an e-Ink tablet that runs Firefox. apparently neither device exists.
15:30
<annevk>
Galaxy Tab is quite nice
15:31
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: thanks. so "no"
15:31
<annevk>
they had one in the store and since the waiting times were ridiculous I could play around a bit
15:31
<hsivonen>
annevk: Galaxy Tab sucks in the landscape mode
15:31
<hsivonen>
also, I expect e-Ink to beat LCD for reading
15:32
<annevk>
if you just get very high DPI, will e-Ink still be good?
15:32
<annevk>
because e-Ink is fricking slow
15:32
<annevk>
at least last I looked at it; no way you would get YouTube
15:33
<hsivonen>
as I understand it, the main differentiating factor (apart from slowness and lack of color) is non-glare and no backlight
15:33
<hsivonen>
my tablet needs don't include YouTube
15:34
<hsivonen>
I'm inclined to believe the claims that reading from an LCD right before trying to sleep disrupts sleep
15:34
<hsivonen>
in a way that paper and e-Ink don't
15:34
<annevk>
if I ever had a tablet I would expect to read reddit on it and all what reddit entails
15:37
hsivonen
wonders what Opera Mobile 10 (general) runs on
15:37
<MikeSmith>
Opera can run on ARM 6
15:37
<MikeSmith>
Opera can be made to run on anything
15:38
<MikeSmith>
it could run on whatever CPU they have in sewing machines
15:38
<MikeSmith>
the original Nintendo DS had a 66 MHz CPU
15:39
<MikeSmith>
and Opera ran on that
15:39
<hsivonen>
MikeSmith: oh, I don't doubt that Opera can be compiled for v6. I was curious if a v6-compatible build ships.
15:39
<MikeSmith>
oh
15:39
<hsivonen>
(I have Opera Mobile 10.1 beta on v6 on N800)
15:39
<Philip`>
Could it run on the Apollo landing computer?
15:40
<annevk>
I guess the other thing that is kind of nice is the size of this phone. It's not as huge as all the others
15:41
<annevk>
Philip`, just have to convince NASA that all bugs are features
15:42
<jgraham>
hsivonen: Did you update the gecko innerHTML serilization algorithm?
15:43
<hsivonen>
jgraham: no
15:43
<jgraham>
hmm
15:43
hsivonen
now spots the (general) is 10 not 10.1
15:43
<hsivonen>
that makes more sense
15:44
<jgraham>
Seems like neither Chrome nor Fx add a line break before the text in a <pre> (or similar) element in innerHTML
15:45
<hsivonen>
:-(
15:45
<jgraham>
(Or Opera 11)
15:45
<jgraham>
Makes me nervous about changing it…
15:48
<annevk>
I wonder what all the fuss is about with regards to not being able to update Android phones... Is that a US thing?
15:50
<daedb>
annevk: It depends on phone manufacturer... some of them are good, some are bad at offering updates.
15:51
<hsivonen>
annevk: It's not just a U.S. thing
15:51
<hsivonen>
annevk: basically, Google isn't acting like a proper OS vendor but is acting like a whitelabel technology provider as far as updates go
15:57
<hsivonen>
that Google doesn't insist on being able to push OTA Android updates to end users is a bit odd when the Chrome side hypes how they intend to update Chrome OS
16:03
<annevk>
the way they do Chrome is awesome
16:23
<MikeSmith>
the JS Date object needs a few more methods
16:23
<MikeSmith>
42 methods just doesn't seem like enough
16:32
<jgraham>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" ""> is not supposed to be treated as having the system id missing, is it?
16:36
<jwalden>
do gradients have an intrinsic aspect ratio? http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-images/#gradients mentions ratios only in one narrow case, in a way that suggests this wasn't really a deliberate definition
17:19
<gsnedders>
jgraham: Indeed.
17:20
<jgraham>
The system id thing?
17:20
<gsnedders>
Yeah.
17:20
<jgraham>
Who wants webkit bugs?
17:20
<gsnedders>
For the parser? abarth|zZz, IIRC.
17:20
<gsnedders>
Or at least he was one of the people involved in it.
17:20
<jgraham>
abarth|zZz, eric_carlson: You have a bug with not setting the right compatMode where the SYSTEM ID is the empty string
17:21
<eric_carlson>
jgraham: ???
17:21
jgraham
loves TCs where the failure mode is "screen is blank"
17:21
<jgraham>
eric_carlson: Am I confusing you with someone else?
17:22
<jgraham>
Oh, look at that, I am
17:22
<jgraham>
Sorry
17:22
<eric_carlson>
jgraham: np!
17:22
<jgraham>
I wanted Eric Seidel :)
17:23
<eric_carlson>
jgraham: indeed, another Eric that works on WebKit
17:25
<jgraham>
There should be a limit of one person per unique first name per browser project. A bit like the way the actors guilds require unique names
17:26
<Philip`>
Does added punctuation count as a distinct name?
17:26
<eric_carlson>
fine with me as long as eseidel is willing to change his name :-P
17:49
<AryehGregor>
I'm completely in favor of that rule.
17:49
<AryehGregor>
Actually, I'd like to require it freenode-wide.
17:49
<AryehGregor>
I originally wanted "aryeh" as my nick, but someone else took it. :(
17:50
<gsnedders>
jgraham: Well, there were multiple people called James at Opera recently :P
17:52
<jgraham>
gsnedders: Exactly. jamesl had to change his name or leave. He left.
17:56
<annevk>
same happened with my namesake
17:58
<gsnedders>
At least there's only one Geoffrey ^^

<Aryeh|use_email>
Public service announcement: I'll be in Israel for about a week, so I might not see anything said here for a long time if ever, even if you mention my name. Try e-mail instead if you want to contact me. (I might drop in as AryehGregor from my laptop.)
18:40
<annevk>
have fun
20:46
<a-ja>
TabAtkins: ping (re css3-images / webkit implementation. suggest somewhere else to discuss?)
21:24
<annevk>
one thing someone pointed out to me
21:25
<annevk>
this screen sucks donkey balls compared to the iPhone
21:26
<annevk>
steering away from the politics, eh, Peter`? ;)
21:26
<Peter`>
Yeah
21:27
<annevk>
Peter`, not sure if you saw it the other day, but the quotation marks around your headings, what is the reason for that?
21:27
<Peter`>
I designed my blog
21:27
<Peter`>
that should basically answer your question
21:27
<krijnh>
Oeh, I love that design!
21:27
<krijnh>
Can I download the template somewhere?
21:28
<annevk>
Peter`, haha
21:28
<annevk>
okay
21:28
<krijnh>
I heard HTML5 makes downloading templates a lot easier
21:28
<Peter`>
I'll remove them
21:28
<Peter`>
thar done
21:28
<annevk>
krijnh, HTML5 also saves kittens
21:28
<krijnh>
:o
21:29
<annevk>
every time someone uses HTML5
21:29
<annevk>
God saves a kitten
21:29
<pesla>
And he kills a little puppy.
21:29
<krijnh>
Luckily every time IE crashes, he kills another one
21:29
<annevk>
pesla, ssh
21:30
<pesla>
annevk: I saw it happen!
21:30
<krijnh>
Ow, wait, sorry, God in #whatwg context is of course Hixie.. He doesn't kill kittens nor puppies
21:31
<Hixie>
good grief
21:31
<krijnh>
He talks!
21:31
<pesla>
He kills non-Hixie-conforming specs
21:32
<krijnh>
So Hixie, when do you think this HTML5 thing you came up with is going to fly?

21:55
<annevk>
that URL looks like a scam
21:56
<annevk>
underscores, random number, weird words, core77.com?!
21:56
<annevk>
ah I see, "design magazine"
21:57
<annevk>
fun video though
22:05
<thiessenp>
HTML5 vs HTML4 - are DOM mutations identical? What I mean is any new behaviour described from DHTML insertions etc. in the HTML5 spec?
22:05
<annevk>
browsers only implement HTML5
22:06
<annevk>
and with regards to mutation events, I think there's still a vague plan to change them
22:06
<annevk>
though whether that'll work out is unclear
22:07
<thiessenp>
any idea where I could read up on this?
22:08
<annevk>
archives of public-webapps
22:08
<annevk>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/ around November I think
22:08
<annevk>
and maybe before
22:09
<thiessenp>
great thanks (will start reading) but off hand the DOM is currently treated the same way in HTML5 as in HTML4 element.innerHTML, parent.appendChild etc.?
22:11
<krijnh>
Ja
22:11
<krijnh>
Er is maar een HTML
22:40
<erlehmann>
is there an easier way to change my subscription mail address to the WHATWG list than stopping to subscribe and resubscribing?
22:40
<erlehmann>
I cannot into mailing lists.
22:41
<Hixie>
i believe the mailman software keys off your e-mail address so you can't change it
22:41
<Hixie>
you have to unsub, resub
22:41
<Hixie>
but that's pretty easy to do
22:42
<erlehmann>
thx. brb
22:58
<erlehmann>
Hixie, is there some processing delay for both unsubcriptions and subscriptions?
23:00
<erlehmann>
forget it.
23:00
<erlehmann>
works :)
23:21
<annevk>
Hixie, pong
