Note archive: September, 2014

Laughing out loud throughout @Davatron5000’s @ArtifactConf talk. It is quite literally a LOLfest.

Ducking out of the conference to grab a coffee ’round the corner, remembering to remove my lanyard so I don’t look like a douchebadge.

Spent the afternoon holed up in my hotel room when I should have been listening to the excellent @ArtifactConf talks.

Airplanes; public transport; hotel room air-conditioning …all these factors seem to have conspired to give me a dose of the sniffles.

Hello, Providence.*

*the place, not the state of having supernatural protection for future eventualities

Listening to @StevenBJohnson on NPR.

For once, I’m listening live; not huffduffing.

Hello, Boston.

Beginning a two-week US tour: London to Boston to Providence to San Francisco to New York to London.

Here I go…

Sitting in the lounge of a nascent spaceport, patching my servers against Shellshock.

Websites that have been going for at least 15 years: Metafilter, Craigslist, Internet Archive, LiveJournal, Kottke …what else?

There are three web conferences happening in England tomorrow: WXG in Guildford, RevolutionConf in Shropshire, and Generate in London.

Back in the UK after an enjoyable and productive trip to Freiburg, Bologna, and Bucharest.

Listening to @CSSwizardry talk about “curd blurt” in CSS frameworks (probably the result of their glurbel scurp).

Wandering through the porticoes of Bologna.

Loving @klick_ass’s ideas for drumming up support for device testing.

All mic’d up and ready to kick off @FromTheFront.

Had fun MCing two days of @SmashingConf in Freiburg. Now onwards to Bologna for @FromTheFront.

A beautiful building on a beautiful day—the Freiburger Münster.

Packing a bag for a trip to Freiburg, then Bologna, then Bucharest.

@Doctorow at 2,

But no. 1 with a bullet: @AWorkingLibrary

Worried that @SlightlyLate sometimes doubts my commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Going for a beer on the beach.

Ian Paisley’s death reminds me of the graffiti scrawled under “Ulster Says No!”:

“The Man From Del Monte Says Yes! And He’s An Orangeman”

Updating http://archive.dconstruct.org/ with this year’s @dConstruct talks.

BERGoonies never say die!

Brainstorming some ISS-related @ScienceHackDay ideas with @t.

Looking forward to @GeekestLink this evening. @Gablaxian, are you in?

Adding the little green lock to https://adactio.com thanks to @timretout, a paragon of patience at Indie Web Camp.

At Indie Web Camp, adding webactions (a custom element) to my notes http://indiewebcamp.com/webactions e.g. http://adactio.com/notes/7408

Listening to @t and @aWorkingLibrary argue about Markdown over cocktails. It’s like a civilised version of the internet.

Utterly exhausted at the end of @dConstruct 2014. It wasn’t exactly a laughfest, but boy, was it important!

Every speaker was phenomenal.

Up And Atom for @dConstruct.

Excited. Nervous. Giggly …and here. we. go!

“The internet never forgets.” —21st Century folk myth.

Passed by somebody busking in Brighton with a Guitar Hero guitar. It wasn’t plugged in or anything.

Language, Code; Leibniz, Wilkins; Sapir, Whorf — I’m enjoying @toxi’s talk at #reasonsto a lot.
