Oh, crap! The camera wasn't set to UTC so all the GPS calculations for all the Spain pictures are wrong. And I didn't notice until now!?—@ndw
@ndw how?—@whir
@whir How did I notice? I clicked on the GPS coordinates in Lightroom and the picture was wayyyy off on the map.—@ndw
@ndw cannot find anything that says gps needs local time so still doubt clock snafu led to that effect—@whir
@whir GPS set to UTC, camera accidentally set to EDT. Trust me, that’s the snafu. :-)—@ndw
@ndw i assumed gps was part of camera—@whir
@ndw If you’re using iPhoto you can batch-shift timestamps.—@sentience
@sentience Meh. I don’t really care about the timestamp, it was just that I was off by several hours in coordinating the camera and the GPS.—@ndw

Have rich & powerful men always just assumed they could get away with sexually exploiting staff at expensive hotels? http://goo.gl/mA9Eh—@david_megginson
@david_megginson The rich and powerful have always assumed they could get away with anything, haven’t they? Because often they can, I guess.—@ndw
@ndw be proud that you live in a country where two of them didn't (if allegations are true).—@david_megginson

What a shame. I'd grown to like @github. http://sheddingbikes.com/posts/1306816425.html (NSFW, kinda)—@ndw
@ndw yeah looks bad and they should fix it but that guy is a bit of a dick too.—@dajobe
@ndw The story is quite one sided. I think all he said is a bunch of gibberish and he's the real troll.—@dscape

Wow. #Emacs on Ubuntu renders #SVG. That's pretty cool.—@ndw

"Starting the install process. This may take several minutes..." Only several? Those must be some long minutes.—@ndw

Life is too short to configure CentOS 5 on a laptop.—@ndw
@ndw Centos on a laptop doesn't sound good, no. Fedora or Mandriva or Ubuntu maybe. CentOS is so stable it can still boot from paper tape.—@barefootliam
@ndw thus why there is ubunutu—@kingargyle
@kingargyle Yep. That’s basically where I came down on the issue.—@ndw
@ndw thats why I use puppet .... no magic there, but you do it once and never again—@xquery

This laptop has an RJ11 jack. For a dial-up modem, I presume. How...quaint.—@ndw
Don't knock it. Dialup has saved my ass in remote locations more than once. QT @ndw: This laptop has an RJ11 jack. For a dial-up...quaint.—@docum3nt
@docum3nt Yeah. I could see that. Except for the fact that I no longer have a dial-up provider. At least not one I’ve tried in, uh, I dunno.—@ndw
@ndw @docum3nt I've used a USB to RJ-11 modem for dial-up once within the last year—@laurendw
@ndw I have a deal with my brother to use his UK dialup when needed :-) which he keeps alive for just such eventualities—@docum3nt
@ndw I keep an old laptop like that for the sole purpose of sending faxes (about 1 a year)—@tug
@tug My printer has a fax. Not that I’ve ever sent or received one, mind you. But I could, I just know it. I could if I needed to. Maybe.—@ndw
@ndw Some lawyers seem to think a faxed "signed" agreement is required—@tug
@tug I have scanned and emailed a few documents for roughly the same purpose.—@ndw

Holy crap! The battery in my previous-generation MacBook Pro just ruptured. And the spare sitting in a plastic bag next to it, too.—@ndw
@ndw not sure whether that show very good, or very bad, quality control :-O—@al3xbrown
@ndw 17" or 15"?—@mwiik
@ndw Auch.. Too late to get a free spare battery, or is it covered by your guarantee?—@grtjn
@grtjn AppleCare expired in 2010. Still. They freaking exploded. I suppose I should drive to the Apple store and see what happens.—@ndw
.@ndw Yikes. Just popped out the battery in my 17" MBP, and there's corrosion coming out on two edges.—@mdubinko

In a conversation that started on Wednesday at 01:54pm

Exploding batteries: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ndw/5787587578 (17" MacBook Pro)—@ndw
@ndw My batteries did the same thing. That's how I got a new Macbook Pro. :)—@larsga
@ndw Wow, what happened to the spare? Was it just ambient temperature?—@ashooner
@ashooner Yep. Sitting peacefully in a plastic bag where it’s been for months on a cool, dry shelf.—@ndw
@ndw How did _that_ happen?—@sindoc
@sindoc It was sitting on a shelf, unplugged and unused for probably a few months. I heard a weird “popping” sound. Found it ruptured.—@ndw
@ndw I guess one of them must have had leaked before without being noticed. I was curious to know whether it was caused by a short-circuit.—@sindoc
@sindoc I don’t think there were any leaks. There weren’t any short circuits.—@ndw
@ndw So both bursted independently at the same time? Short-circuit was ruled out all right.—@sindoc
@sindoc I can’t assert they happened at the same time. I only looked at the spare after I heard the laptop “ping” as the batter burst free.—@ndw
@ndw mine did that too. Apple replaced it no problem under AppleCare—@crichey
@ndw happened to one of @liza's machines that @nedbat was using. Pretty scary, but @nedbat reports it still works plugged in w/o battery—@abdelazer
@ndw yeah it's the 17" ones which do that—@mwiik

Sunny all day despite prediction of rain in the morning. I want to start the grill in about an hour. Guess what it’s threatening to do now?—@ndw
@ndw big thunderstorm in Greenfield just ended...—@dauwhe
@dauwhe You’re in Greenfield!? Heavy rain and marble-sized hail here in B’town.—@ndw
@ndw No hail here, but thunder has returned. So far so good for power & internet, although with laptops & local copy of epub3 spec I'm set!—@dauwhe
@dauwhe Power has flickered a bit but hasn’t gone out. Yet. Thunder has been spectacularly loud. Grilling tonight, not so much I think.—@ndw

http://schema.org — some vendors develop a specification for microdata behind closed doors, then use their incumbency as legitimacy. Sigh.—@psd
@psd I don't see the problem. Anyone can publish agreement they've reached and convince others to adopt.—@iand
@iand I should relax, but it's top-down rather than bottom-up-ness; building a motorway across the cowpaths which rankles.—@psd
.@psd It's Distributed Extensibility. DE is all about being able not to coordinate outside your doors. It's unicorns and butterflies, though—@hsivonen

I just followed someone's ow.ly'd link to...schema.org. It was longer than "http://schema.org" And obfuscated. Bleh.—@ndw
@ndw that's annoying. I wish clients would do that obvious test - if shortened url longer than original, abort.—@dajobe

In a conversation that started on Thursday at 03:31pm

This is important: http://schema.org/Book—@abdelazer
@abdelazer Because...?—@ndw
@ndw Because SearchMonkey and Rich Snippets were independent stabs in this direction. With a coordinated stab, it's bound to have an impact—@abdelazer
@ndw I make no statement about whether it's good/was developed the "right" way. I don't think most will care & adoption could be significant—@abdelazer
@abdelazer Yeah. I wasn’t challenging either, just curious if there was some deep, tangential significance I was overlooking.—@ndw
@ndw oh no, I just think that the collaboration could be significant. As a generator of markup, it's all pretty trivial to me.—@abdelazer
@abdelazer Just finished reading several works on analytical bibliography. This schema.org/book thing is rather jarring. :)—@jmaxsfu
@jmaxsfu deliberately didn't say "good". It's quality may be irrelevant /cc @ndw—@abdelazer
@abdelazer @jmaxsfu I'm betting on irrelevant. The organisation is profoundly biased towards fail-ish, even if people used it.—@blaine
@blaine @jmaxsfu I'm not saying humans will ever do it. Just generated content. view-source on a Bookworm-@ibisreader title. AB Meta?—@abdelazer
@blaine @jmaxsfu you just think it won't get adopted? Maybe. I feel like pressure has been building for some more panoramic convention—@abdelazer

Holy cow! Ubuntu Unity is a weird Windows/Mac/Gnome hybrid UI.—@ndw

HTML: The Markup Language doesn’t help either. Is a goddamn schema too much to fscking ask? Just a non-normative grammar for valid markup?—@ndw
@ndw Yes, because no existing schema language is sufficiently powerful. >_<—@tabatkins
@tabatkins I’d be perfectly happy with a few extra-grammatical constraints expressed in, for example, Schematron.—@ndw
@ndw you would not _believe_ the sh*tstorm which erupted when 'some of us' pushed for a schema <sigh/>—@jeffsonstein

If I write a webpage about 2 places and I want to use RDFa to associate that page with both places, how do I group the lat/long pairs?—@ndw
@ndw If your vocab puts lat & long as props of the page it's broken, use another with them on a place (blank node?).—@ed_davies
@ed_davies yeah. I don't want the lat/long displayed. Went with content attr on empty span grouped in a span container. Plausable?—@ndw
@ndw re: schema.org RDFa examples - we're working on it.—@manusporny

In a conversation that started on Saturday at 06:46am

Someone who thinks RDFa is superior to microdata could do worse than showing all the schema.org examples in RDFa. #justsayin—@ndw
@gcarothers @manusporny Also, you introduced some (gratuitous, I think) div/span changes in the first example. Might be clearer w/o them.—@ndw
@ndw @manusporny Well, I'm not so sure. Without the "extra" span it's far less clear in RDFa what's going on. No way to test Microdata :\—@gcarothers
@gcarothers @manusporny It wasn't an extra that surprised me, it was turning a div in the original into a span.—@ndw
@ndw @manusporny Whooops! Yes, that. Fixed.—@gcarothers
@gcarothers @manusporny Thanks, Gavin, but I’d still like to see a complete set. (You didn’t do the geo one I was looking for :-)—@ndw
@ndw So between RDFa, microdata and now schema.org, which choice do you do ? For me RDFa -> RDF -> SPARQL-endpoint—@networkvb
@networkvb I'm generating from richer data, so about the same effort for me, I think.—@ndw

@ndw What would be the URI for referencing "copyeditor" from http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/othercredit.htmll? (cc @gcarothers @bobdc)—@abdelazer
@abdelazer @ndw @bobdc Odd, I don't think MARC Rel has a copy editor... everything else. http://www.loc.gov/marc/relators/relaterm.html—@gcarothers
@gcarothers @abdelazer @ndw No URI for copyeditor there, but there is one for my new favorite word, facsimilist (http://bit.ly/ljs0hRR)—@bobdc
@bobdc @gcarothers @ndw I assume you mean Electrotyper—@abdelazer
@abdelazer @ndw @gcarothers The tough part: Docbook grudgingly has a namespace for elements and attributes, but not for potential values.—@bobdc
@abdelazer Sorry. In what context do you want a URI for that?—@ndw
@abdelazer Hmm. I’ll give that some thought. Maybe DocBook should provide official URIs for things like that.—@ndw

Saturday at 06:09pm

@abdelazer @ndw @bobdc Oh, perhaps Proofreader?—@gcarothers

In a conversation that started on Saturday at 06:10pm

@gcarothers Right, but no production, technical, or copy editor?! @ndw @bobdc—@abdelazer
@abdelazer @ndw @bobdc A bit more specific. Production BKP, Technical (Markup editor? Or some other role?), Copy editor (Proof Reader?)—@gcarothers
@gcarothers But those are different folks. We have Proofreader, Markup Editor, Technical Editor, Copy Editor on 1 title. All != each other—@abdelazer
@abdelazer Sounds like extending the MARC rel SKOS wouldn't be a bad idea?—@gcarothers
