# [12:22] <annevk> with a bit more publicitiy someone could make a fulltime job out of following HTML5 tweets on twitter
# [12:22] <hsivonen> anyone who'd want to digest the latest batch of TAG minutes into a Last Month in the TAG blog post?
# [12:23] <hsivonen> annevk: and correcting tem
# [12:23] <hsivonen> them
# [12:23] <annevk> we have lastweekinthetag now?
# [12:23] <annevk> that'd be an awesome blog
# [12:24] <hsivonen> perhaps someone should make one
# [12:25] <hsivonen> there are interesting bits like: "<jar> When I mentioned this metadata discovery issue to a library scientist, they said: Why on earth would anyone ask the publisher? They're not qualified to provide this kind of information."
# [12:26] <annevk> that's sort of a blow for RDFa
# [12:26] <annevk> maybe we should have the blog on IRC instead :)
# [12:28] <svl> Think Mr. Last Week would be so kind as to then do all the hard work of pushing it out in blog format?
# [12:28] <annevk> one can hope
# [12:29] <annevk> hmm http://orderedlist.com/articles/structural-tags-in-html5 is a lot more markup than I typically need for my blog homepage
# [12:30] <annevk> s/my/a/
# [12:30] <hsivonen> annevk: "TBL: Calling it Access Control" is misleading. It's about privacy."
# [12:30] * hsivonen agrees with TimBL that Access Control is misleadingly named.
# [12:30] * annevk agrees as well
# [12:30] <annevk> it was thought to be too late to change
# [12:31] <annevk> semantics are more like share-with-origin than access-control-allow-origin
# [12:31] <hsivonen> Cross-Origin Data Sharing?
# [12:32] <annevk> well, we can change the spec title, we can change the spec shortname, but we can't change the header names anymore I think
# [12:32] <hsivonen> I agree that changing headers at this point would be harmful.
# [12:37] <annevk> I suppose we could rename it, dunno
# [12:37] <annevk> though s/Data/Resource prolly as it's also for font files, images, etc.
# [12:38] <annevk> not sure if it's worth the trouble
# [12:38] * Joins: pauld (n=pauld@host81-130-17-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com)
# [12:39] * Philip` has never found the name confusing, since he just treats it as an opaque identifier
# [12:40] <jgraham> Philip` is unusual
# [12:41] * Philip` takes that as a compliment
# [12:47] <jgraham> annevk: That blog post goes a bit overboard on the use of <header> and <section> but basically looks OK. More to the point every single comment is positive which is encouraging.
# [12:48] <Philip`> It would be useful to know where the people writing these articles get their information from
# [12:49] <Philip`> e.g. do they read the actual spec?
# [12:49] <Philip`> and do they follow the mailing lists?
# [12:49] <Philip`> or are they mostly echoing other already-summarised documents?
# [12:52] <Philip`> "Waiting for official support for HTML5 structural tags from search engines… any news from this field?" - we need to spread rumours that Google favours sites using HTML5 markup, and then all the SEO experts will rush to adopt it
# [12:56] <zcorpan> Philip`: will they replace <body> with <body><article> and </body> with </article></body>?
# [12:56] <zcorpan> i wonder if someone's going to comment about firefox 2
# [12:58] <Philip`> zcorpan: No, Google has an advanced secret algorithm developed by teams of PhDs and augmented by billions of pages of training information, that will detect when you're using HTML5 elements stupidly and will penalise you for it
# [12:58] <Philip`> according to my anonymous insider source
# [13:00] <Philip`> You may not believe me given the total lack of evidence, but surely you can't take the risk of losing your number one search results to your competitors by ignoring me
# [13:07] <jgraham> Hmm. If people are going to implement live preview on their comment forms it would be nice if it corresponded to what actually got posted.
# [13:07] <zcorpan> it seems the createElement hack doesn't work as expressions (and ie8 seems to ignore 'behavior' in ie8 mode)
# [13:08] <jgraham> It would also be nice if they documented whatever magic syntax it is they are using for formatting
# [13:08] <annevk> I thought expressions were a killed feature in super standards mode
# [13:09] <jgraham> Anyway I replied to the article :)
# [13:21] <annevk> how is http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/ a REC? didn't it depend on DOM Level 3 Events?
# [13:22] <annevk> I guess it doesn't
# [13:23] <Philip`> Are you attempting to apply logic to the status of the spec?
# [13:23] * Joins: hdh (n=hdh@58.187.16.159)
# [13:24] <annevk> Philip`, yes
# [13:25] <Philip`> No good will ever come of such foolishness
# [13:26] <annevk> did you just call me a fool?
# [13:26] <annevk> :p
# [13:26] <Philip`> Certainly, coming in here and attempting to use logic!
# [13:28] <Lachy> Philip`, FYI, I just filed the bug about the textbox on notebookreview.com that you mentioned yesterday
# [13:29] <Philip`> Lachy: Okay, thanks

# [13:30] <zcorpan> Hixie: the way the toc is set up in http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/ seems more useful than html5
# [13:32] * Philip` notes that there was a suggestion many months ago for each multipage page to include the subset of the TOC corresponding to that page
# [13:32] <Philip`> so it seems like it could be a good idea
# [13:32] <Philip`> (but non-trivial to implement)
# [13:33] * Quits: pauld (n=pauld@host81-130-17-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com)
# [13:33] <annevk> why non-trivial? can't you just keep a copy of the toc around and copy the relevant part in?
# [13:34] <annevk> i do think it's sort of useful to have the complete toc as well, maybe list both on the first page?
# [13:34] <Philip`> What is "the relevant part"?
# [13:34] <annevk> the part that matches first heading of the page to the last heading of the page
# [13:35] <Philip`> particularly when the page starts at a subsubsection, so it needs to work out to indent the first TOC entry by the right number of levels
# [13:36] <Philip`> It would probably still be a reasonable thing to do; it just needs a little bit of thought, which is why I haven't done it yet :-)
# [13:39] <Philip`> ((I guess the only non-triviality is that it can't just extract a subtree (or consecutive sequence of subtrees) from the TOC's DOM, since it's not always split along tree lines))
# [13:42] <takkaria> I find it very useful as it is now
# [13:42] <takkaria> I know that if I want to find a treebuilder step, I can hit cmd-F and type "insertion mode"
# [13:43] <Philip`> Has anyone written a mail client that detects if your message contains a string "(have|is|see) attached" and warns you if you're sending it without an attachment?
# [13:44] <gavin> there's http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/index-en.html#ar
# [13:44] <takkaria> Philip`: there's a thunderbird extension which does it, I 'm pretty ure
# [13:45] <gavin> (which is a thunderbird extension that does it)

# [13:57] <hallvors> (Pegasus mail has had the "notify about missing attachment" feature for ages)
# [13:57] <zcorpan> jgraham: ah
# [13:58] <jgraham> Hmm. the TOC script seems to make the spec take ages to load in Firefox too which I guess is only fair since it already takes ages to load in Opera
# [14:00] <Philip`> Takes about a second to toggle the TOC sections in Firefox too

# [14:18] * zcorpan notes that the slider at http://orderedlist.com/contact/ has differently sized steps (1,2,3,4,5,7.5,10,20,30,40,50)
# [14:19] <annevk> i guess we could let step="" accept some kind of function at some point?
# [14:20] <zcorpan> how would that work?

# [16:35] <MikeSmith> wtf does "Prodding after speedy per request"
# [16:38] <Lachy> The article is missing references that would support his notability. Merely being the creator of JQuery isn't enough and based on the content of the article, it's not really surprising it was up for deletion
# [16:38] <Lachy> surely there must be some news articles from reputable sources that talk about JQuery and mention JohnResig that could be cited.

# [16:43] <MikeSmith> Mark is spot-on as usual
# [16:45] <Philip`> If some people didn't spend time marking single-line bios for deletion, what would stop people adding a billion pages about everyone on the planet and resulting in a huge burden to anyone who does anything that's O(n) in the size of the wiki?
# [16:47] <Lachy> I'm still waiting for someone to write a wikipedia article about me
# [16:47] <MikeSmith> Lachy: I'll write one about you

# [16:56] <MikeSmith> I'm working on the Lachy article; so far, I've got the parts about his illegitimate love child, his secret meth lab, panty thievery... wondering what else I need to add

# [17:02] * Quits: Maurice (n=ano@a80-101-46-164.adsl.xs4all.nl) ("Disconnected...")
# [17:02] <MikeSmith> I think "free" in software/online contexts has pretty much come to mean, "Anything that attracts a lot of guys who are very much like the Comic Book Store Guy in the Simpsons"
# [17:03] <Philip`> MikeSmith: The graph seems to get updated at least every ten minutes, and the textual version at least every minute, so it's not such an easy explanation :-(
# [17:03] * Joins: olliej (n=oliver@nat/apple/x-722c04d48dc5c41f)
# [17:04] <MikeSmith> Philip`: maybe it's just very finicky and expects only a certain quality of rain, regardless of quantity
# [17:05] <Philip`> Perhaps it was calibrated to work with unicorn tears, not bog standard rain
# [17:07] * jgraham assumes that the rain monitoring system was merely designed by the same people who designed the climate control system at the CMS and therefore has opposite notions of "hot", "cold", "wet" and "dry" to those employed by mortal humans
# [17:08] <gsnedders> MikeSmith: It's Comic Book Guy, not Comic Book Store Guy.
# [17:10] <MikeSmith> gsnedders: thanks, you've proven you have the qualities to participate in "free"
# [17:10] <gsnedders> :P
# [17:10] * gsnedders types on his laptop running a "non-free" OS/
# [17:10] <MikeSmith> Philip`: easy way to test that: just get a unicorn and have it watch "Bambi" or "Old Yeller"
# [17:11] <Philip`> One of the options for second-year CS group projects here was to develop a climate control system for the CS building (particularly the room in which all the projects were going to be demonstrated), but they found it difficult because the real building admin people wouldn't let them open any doors or windows because it would disturb the rest of the building

# [17:12] <Philip`> MikeSmith: I find it much quicker to squeeze certain parts of the unicorn's anatomy until it cries
# [17:12] <gsnedders> (in that order of from most to least important)
# [17:12] <MikeSmith> Philip`: I like the way you think
# [17:12] <MikeSmith> gsnedders: Cygwin is "free"
# [17:13] <gsnedders> MikeSmith: Cygwin's shell sucks though.
# [17:13] <MikeSmith> it's bash
# [17:13] <Philip`> It's in a window that's really hard to resize
# [17:13] <MikeSmith> rxvt
# [17:13] <gsnedders> Half of that suckiness is the fact it is workaround the fact that the FS isn't POSIX compliant to start with
# [17:13] <rubys> opera (the site) is down?
# [17:13] <gsnedders> And the other half is that half the folders aren't called what I expect
# [17:14] <gsnedders> Also, ~ isn't my normal user folder
# [17:14] <gsnedders> Also, I can't drag a folder/file into the shell to get the pathname copied there like I can on Terminal.app
# [17:14] <MikeSmith> rubys: seems so.. I can't get to it at least
# [17:14] * rubys likes cygwin, makes windows tolerable
# [17:15] <Philip`> gsnedders: If you don't like unexpected folder names, it seems your complaint is really "it's not OS X" rather than "it's not POSIX-compliant"
# [17:16] <gsnedders> Philip`: I mean things like "My Documents" come up as "Documents"
# [17:16] * jgraham prefers to avoid windows rather than endure cygwin
# [17:16] * gsnedders finds shells on OS X, Solaris, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, etc. far more bearable than Cygwin
# [17:16] <MikeSmith> gsnedders: I think you can fix that by pouring some water into the vents
# [17:17] <Philip`> gsnedders: Vista (and presumably Win7) doesn't have "My Documents", it just has "Documents"
# [17:17] <Philip`> so that's nothing to do with the shell
# [17:17] <gsnedders> Philip`: It appears in the GUI as My Documents
# [17:17] <Philip`> Hmm
# [17:17] <rubys> cygwin's shell is simply bash, so what people are reacting to is the terminal client? Or am I missing something?
# [17:17] <Philip`> Did they change it from Vista, then?
# [17:18] <gsnedders> rubys: Yeah, it's the terminal client
# [17:18] <Philip`> (Or am I misremembering whether they renamed it on Vista?)
# [17:18] <MikeSmith> so use rxvt or whatever

# [17:19] * gsnedders starts up Win7 box
# [17:19] <rubys> it is documents on win7

# [17:20] <rubys> gsnedders: yes

# [17:21] <gsnedders> I only have My Documents, no "Documents"
# [17:21] <gsnedders> I have "Documents" as a library, but not as a folder

# [17:22] <sid0> though it really doesn't matter how it appears in the gui, does it, in the shell it's still Documents
# [17:23] <gsnedders> It's confusing it isn't consistent
# [17:23] <gsnedders> rubys: thx
# [17:24] <Philip`> gsnedders: It'd be more confusing if the file path depended on the user's currently-selected language, and it'd also be more confusing if the GUI displayed "[My] Documents" regardless of the user's currently-selected language

# [22:46] <gsnedders> Hixie: I probably won't do stuff in order anyway :P
# [22:47] <Hixie> that's why i don't want to put it in your box :-)
# [22:47] <hsivonen> also, rounding em-based widths to pixels in WebKit is different for the vertical and horizontal lines and for curves
# [22:47] <gsnedders> Hixie: Stuff for Lachy and annevk before you, anyway :P
# [22:47] <Lachy> gsnedders, what stuff from me is in your queue?
# [22:47] <gsnedders> Lachy: biblio
# [22:47] * Joins: webben (n=webben@91.85.203.185)
# [22:47] <Lachy> oh yeah.
# [22:48] <Hixie> i found biblio to be undesireable because the references churn so fast that the maintainer of the generator script gets tired of updating references
# [22:49] <Hixie> and so the editor ends up having to do it manually anyway
# [22:49] <Hixie> so if you do biblio stuff, try to work around that problem somehow
# [22:49] <gsnedders> Hixie: Well, it should be possible to automatically create a database of RFCs and W3C TRs easily
# [22:49] <Hixie> e.g. fetch data off a wiki or something
# [22:49] <Hixie> if only RFCs and TRs were all that was referenced...
# [22:49] <gsnedders> Well, in HTML 5 they are a fair proportion
# [22:49] <Hixie> (and are you going to regenerate the database every time you run the script? because that would be a lot of work)
# [22:50] <Hixie> it doesn't really matter what the proportion is, all that matters is whether there is a critical mass of cases that change often enough to be annoying
# [22:50] <gsnedders> Hixie: No, just rebuild it per release, and include the script to re-gen it
# [22:51] <Hixie> well it's certainly an improvement over doing it manually
# [22:51] <Hixie> but i doubt it'll be enough
# [22:51] <gsnedders> Hixie: Also, custom databases can be added as well, so just add extra refs needed there
# [22:52] <Hixie> can they be added in the source file? that would side-step my issue a bit
# [22:52] <Hixie> if they could be added in the source file in the output format
# [22:52] <Hixie> and all the script did was add the missing ones and reorder them
# [22:52] <Hixie> that would be ok
# [22:53] <gsnedders> Then just look within  …  (or whatever the string is) for them?

# [22:55] <Hixie> or with class="references"
# [22:55] <Hixie> or something like that
# [22:56] <Hixie> also there needs to be a way to put some references in one <dl> and some in another, and a way to annotated the references (e.g. I put "Informative" next to some)
# [22:56] <Hixie> anyway
