- Glad that @helio_girl is at #owc2 with me. Thx to @sarahdopp for the ride, @musingvirtual for organizing us! :) @sanbeiji, find me & say hi! #
- #OWC2 starts with @mollydotcom polling audience by asking for some personal stories. Interesting tack—sometimes tough to get people talking. #
- You don't have to "opt-in to brakes" when you buy a car @mollydotcom says at #OWC2 drawing analogy to #WebStandards open web+data formats. #
- "IE is absolutely committed to HTML5," @mollydotcom says at #OWC2 "There's no browser not working on what they think is #HTML5 " ;) #webdev #
- "The things we argue for—open web, #WebStandards €”they shouldn't be an argument cuz [we were always meant to have them]." -@mollydotcom #OWC2 #
- @helio_girl #WebStandards raise your quality of technical life; they provide some base measure of #interoperability Like light bulbs. #OWC2 in reply to helio_girl #
- Whenever we talk #quality I think we need to define #audience #WebStandards try to impose some of qualities for an UNKNOWN audience. #OWC2 #
- "If you're working on the Web, don't kid yourself: you're part of evolution. You're part of a revolution." -@mollydotcom #WebStandards #OWC2 #
- @musingvirtual Yes that's exaclty my point. #Quality is all about perception—minimum, maximum, whatev. It's a similar conversation to #a11y in reply to musingvirtual #
- @musingvirtual I think so, yes. I think most people don't define #quality hence #a11y #security etc don't meet "minimum standards." #owc2 in reply to musingvirtual #
- TOTALLY. #Tech = life. :) ♺ @helio_girl: "Backward Compatible"-accept what came before. …draw connections to the world beyond the Web. #owc2 #
- Sorry to miss @benadida at #OWC2 but big congrats to you & your family, Sir! :) Instead, listening to @johnallsopp talking abt an open web. #
- THIS is why #antiporn #noporn fear-mongers hate #transparency USE IT TO FIGHT THEM. ♺@viviane212 Transparency is neutral—it takes no sides. #
- "App stores are—seriously—a form of #slavery " @johnallsopp says at #OWC2 Harsh words. Hard for me to argue with that, tho. #Open #Internet #
- At #OWC2 @johnallsopp is demoing http://mugtug.com/darkroom as an example of a #Web app to dispel myth that Web apps aren't "slick & sexy." #
- Fuck yeah SVG FTW BBQ! ♺ @helio_girl: Next to me @maymaym quietly cheers when #SVG comes up in @johnallsopp's talk. Yes dear. We know. #owc2 #
- Dear @estellevw: I'm sorry to be interrupting your #CSS talk but I'm sure you're doing great! Y'all should visit http://Standardista.com. ;) #
- Oh, nice. #W3C #Geo #API "lets you ask how accurate [the current position] is." Where's that function? Big opportunity for better #UX #OWC2 #
- Ah! #W3C #Geo #API has position.coords.accuracy member variable. Not sure what its value means, yet…but, good to know. Thx @chaals. :) #OWC2 #
- @helio_girl It's basic variable handling, like a "light bulb." It's a "key" that refers to a specific "value." Variables are language. #OWC2 in reply to helio_girl #
- Hearing @stubbornella talk at #OWC2 is very cool. Her work was the foundation for the #CSS optimization writing I did in http://tr.im/advcss #
- "When we get the #architecture right, things get really tiny. …a minor change of thinking" has a HUGE impact @stubbornella says at #OWC2 :) #
- "If your architecture is wrong, it WILL fail. You can put a lot of effort into making it fail slower, but…." Applicable to EVERYTHING. #OWC2 #
- "You have to be willing to look at [your #webdesign like repeating patterns," @stubbornella says. Gotta find the correct granularity. #OWC2 #
- Don't confuse "truly stale" #CSS code (rules never used, ever) w/"kind of stale" (rules activated on user actions). #webdev #webdesign #OWC2 #
- Location-dependant #CSS (`.foo h2` / `.bar h2`) is bad for reusability. Declare self-contained rules based on element purpose instead. #OWC2 #
- To improve #reusability avoid using #CSS to style IDs. Those should be used for #JavaScript while classes should be used for styles. #OWC2 #
- "It's important to define what you know" @stubbornella says at #OWC2 "so you can begin to reuse it." Also world beyond web, @helio_girl? :) #
- It's very VERY nice to hear @stubbornella consistently give #attributions to collaborators who did good work during her #presentation #OWC2 #
- @stubbornella Location dependant styles hamper reusability! :) CSS Summit ahoy? :) #
- @helio_girl If I'm right…. We'll see if @stubbornella accepts my answer about #CSS location-dependance and reusability. :) G'luck all. #OWC2 in reply to helio_girl #
- Missed start of A11y 101 in favor of #geeking out over the future of #CSS ala http://ur1.ca/0pkka http://ur1.ca/0pkkd w/@stubbornella. #OWC2 #
- @musingvirtual @jennison Sorry, I'm not sure if that's something I can do at the moment. :( Anyone at #OWC2 able+willing to set up a stream? in reply to musingvirtual #
- @stubbornella Yay! Thx for the chance! =) I saw you try to email me but sadly I don't seem to have an email from you. (And I can't DM you…?) in reply to stubbornella #
- Providing morale support for @sanbeiji from the back of the room. :) He's from the good government. Our #CSS book: http://tr.im/advcss #OWC2 #
- #Webdevs aren't a homogenous bunch. @sanbeiji's live demo extending blog template shows how 90% of "web designers" treat "developing." #OWC2 #
- Spontaneous #vim user #bof in the back of @sanbeiji's #OWC2 presentation when he asked about #editors Lots of people like the GUIs. Not us! #
- FTR: "They did it wrong" is smart-ass answer. Still, #SVG fonts used in #CSS as shown by @sanbeiji really is harder than it should be. #OWC2 #
- I THINK non-smart-ass-answer re #SVG fonts is referencing 'em in #CSS requires you to access it as XML element. Right me if I'm wrong! #OWC2 #
- More on #SVG web #fonts (especially in Mobile Safari): http://ur1.ca/0pld0 http://ur1.ca/0pld4 http://ur1.ca/0pld6 http://ur1.ca/0pld9 #OWC2 #
- #Tech overlap: certain #WAI ARIA roles, states & properties duplicate #HTML5 Eg., aria-required="true" & required="required". #webdev #OWC2 #
- Yup—it's like XML. ♺@nikolasco: @maymaym Eg. url("coolfont.svg#somefont") where coolfont.svg has <font id="somefont"> #SVG #fonts #CSS #OWC2 #
- O hai new followers. Note my updates are not safe for work (depending on what you do for work). I talk sex, politics, activism, AND tech. ;) #
