And the usual open, tolerant, and mature reaction from WHATWG to the Assoc of American Publishers feedback http://t.co/qrGdhpR—@shelleypowers
@shelleypowers I'm afraid to look.—@ndw
@ndw It was more annoying than anything. Biggest org of publishers and all they can do is complain about feedback in a word document.—@shelleypowers
@shelleypowers The Association of American Publishers should stop messing around and make the Web better!—@kendall
@kendall Yeah, shame on them for attempting to provide feedback in the only way the HTML WG allows--and then for using Word. Well, tsk.—@shelleypowers
@shelleypowers Anyone who even owns Word hates the Web and is hurting the Web because...sniff...there are no URLs in Word.—@kendall
@kendall And it's Microsoft, don't forget. So what if there's OpenOffice and LibreOffice and converters...it doesn't matter!—@shelleypowers

When does "metadata embedded in the resource" cease to be metadata and become data?—@michaelhkay
@michaelhkay When it’s embedded in the resource? :-)—@ndw

@ndw @fiberartisan That's not all you missed -- I heard some of the talks at the end were just dynamite! ;-)—@Klortho

I've been using Ubuntu as my OS exclusively since Jan. 2007 and I have to say using 11.04 is almost intolerable. 11.10 doesn't look better.—@RussB

Friends computer: windows print spool crashes repeatedly even after reboot. Any hope at all, or reinstall from scratch?—@ndw
