Interesting #OAuth "device token" proposal from my favorite WS-Dudette, Umit Yalcinalp of Adobe http://t.co/SE6VlE3L—@xmlgrrl
@zer0n1ne @umityalcinalp There's this blog post with a link, but the paper is behind a pay wall - IETF I-D
coming? http://t.co/cDg6oEhW—@xmlgrrl
@xmlgrrl @zer0n1ne Can you access the paper right? I can download it without payment from http://t.co/r7wweBdC—@umityalcinalp
@umityalcinalp @zer0n1ne Nope, sorry, it requires payment for me. You must have a login. #damnauthn—@xmlgrrl
@xmlgrrl @zer0n1ne Interesting! Irony of it as I do not login. Will investigate tomorrow.—@umityalcinalp
@umityalcinalp @xmlgrrl @zer0n1ne Does your employer have unlimited access? Perhaps your IP address is the key?—@ndw

Pilot: Jetway doesn't reach, we have to move a feet forward. Moments later, pilot:
Uh, now we have to move a few inches back. #really—@ndw
@ndw So, you are doing the jetway "Time Warp"?—@lcahlander

Man I love Google Now. Landed in AUS and it justvoffered directions to the hotel,
presumably because I searched for it a few times recently—@lmorchard

Probably not a good sign my "bucket list" is a list of people who I'd put a bucket
over their heads and hit over and over with a frying pan.—@textfiles

You say TAG, I hear httpRange-14 and shut down.—@eranhammer
.@eranhammer Hope TAG-NG shuts down HTTPRange-14 and gets on with real work instead. Total timesuck,
when I was on the TAG—@svgeesus
@svgeesus @eranhammer I really tried and failed to keep it off the agenda. I couldn't convince other TAGers
the question was malformed.—@masinter
@masinter @svgeesus @eranhammer HTTPRange-14 isn't just a timesuck - it's a sign of how deeply things are genuinely
broken.—@simonstl
@simonstl @svgeesus @eranhammer problem is believing in Resources, and that URIs Identify them, Uniformly. Wishful
thinking.—@masinter
@masinter @svgeesus @eranhammer and then building massive infrastructure on conflicting understandings of that religion,
yes.—@simonstl
@simonstl @svgeesus @eranhammer Massive? Seems to me most real-world linked-data applications just routed around
ambiguity, no problem.—@masinter
@masinter @simonstl @svgeesus @eranhammer A real world system that can’t deal with ambiguity won’t work in practice.—@ndw

I felt that my life and that of my children was threatened by the NRA, your honor,
so I shot them dead in self defense. #guncontrol #now—@azaroth42

Really, Firefox, you don’t have an embedded PDF viewer? Really?—@ndw

Every time I think my little web-based, personal information manager project is working
perfectly, I discover some new timezone weirdness.—@ndw
@ndw I lost hours to a mysterious time zone bug once: ultimately it was due to the same
hour repeating when DST occurs in the fall.—@msokolov
@msokolov My current bug is flights recorded in UTC not appearing on the correct day because
it's already "tomorrow" in Greenwich.—@ndw
@ndw I had a similar problem (bug title: Day off in New Zealand) and finally fixed it
with the help of this: http://t.co/zfaGElCD—@msokolov
