@robinberjon @ndw @amyvdh I'm going to need to see some examples before crafting my entry.—@kplawver
@kplawver here's the cat equivalent to Bambi eyes /cc: @robinberjon @ndw @amyvdhhttp://t.co/621sPtiTAB—@koalie
@robinberjon @amyvdh @kplawver I'm prepared to concede to Robin without entering into combat. (See you at XML London,
btw?)—@ndw
@ndw @amyvdh @kplawver Awww, no one ever wants to play bambi eyes. Nope, won't be at XML London, just coming
back from JSConf in Florida!—@robinberjon
@robinberjon I will play!! @ndw @kplawver @kplawver @ndw @koalie my entry for the @robinberjon bambi-eyes contest. http://t.co/MgZ6BNeEj4—@amyvdh
@robinberjon @amyvdh @ndw @koalie My entry in the Bambi eyes challenge: http://t.co/0NwhUJbg1c—@kplawver
@koalie because of the term "bambi eyes" came from you too. but if you'd like to participate,
please do! :) @kplawver @robinberjon @ndw—@amyvdh
@robinberjon @ndw @amyvdh Oh, I’m going to play, I’m just teaching a class today. We may have an entire Lawver
family Bambi eyes entry.—@kplawver
@robinberjon @amyvdh @kplawver @koalie Oh, very well. I shall succumb to peer pressure. Or something. Behold! http://t.co/IEKUkk721m—@ndw
@ndw oooh, we have a very serious contender to the #BambiEyes contest! /cc: @robinberjon @amyvdh @kplawver—@koalie
@amyvdh @robinberjon @koalie @ndw @kplawver would this be an appropriate moment to point out that venison makes for tasty meat?—@roessler
@amyvdh @koalie @ndw @kplawver Of course, I just needed my bambi sleep first. http://t.co/xDx9cfgNsb—@robinberjon
@robinberjon @amyvdh @ndw @kplawver here's my take on #bambieyes for the LOLz. http://t.co/jEuqbYkesI—@koalie
@ndw They are all very good, but I actually have a slight preference for yours. @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver—@robinberjon
@dontcallmeDOM I want to use this picture for W3C’s 500 error pages. Really. @ndw @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver—@robinberjon
@robinberjon good idea. A really expressive face. @dontcallmeDOM @ndw @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver—@cyberbaloo_
@robinberjon @dontcallmeDOM @ndw @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver 500 page? This is the 'So you want to create a Community Group?' background—@sgalineau
@sgalineau @robinberjon @dontcallmeDOM @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver Oh, really? Perhaps I misunderstood the pose? http://t.co/Ma85IHkwBK—@ndw
@sgalineau @dontcallmeDOM @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver OK. I think everyone agrees this has become a project to document the many faces
of @ndw—@robinberjon
@robinberjon @sgalineau @dontcallmeDOM @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver Everyone does not agree. http://t.co/iXTjnr4Fve—@ndw
@ndw If they didn't agree before, THEY HAVE TO NOW! @sgalineau @dontcallmeDOM @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver—@robinberjon
@ndw love this! it has a great 13th Dr. (Who) vibe @sgalineau @robinberjon @dontcallmeDOM @koalie @kplawver—@amyvdh
@dontcallmeDOM Not sure which one you’re going for, but I just laughed for 30 straight seconds.
/cc @robinberjon @ndw @koalie @amyvdh—@kplawver
@koalie Well played. Really. There ought to be an award for the best pun involving nostrils.
@dontcallmeDOM @ndw @amyvdh @kplawver—@robinberjon
@dontcallmeDOM That’s my new screen background: Gargoyle Bambi. @ndw @koalie @amyvdh @kplawver—@robinberjon
@robinberjon This is a very strong entry. You broke my heart a little. /cc @amyvdh @koalie @ndw—@kplawver
@robinberjon Whoa!! wonderful! I want to offer you things, like your crown as Bambi-eyes (@koalie @ndw @kplawver)—@amyvdh
@robinberjon i call foul. that's not Bambi Eyes - that's 'constipation face'. @amyvdh @koalie @ndw @kplawver—@brucel
@robinberjon you would win but it would be worth it just to see entries! @ndw @kplawver @koalie—@amyvdh

You are in a maze of twisty little gems, none alike. One isn't working properly.

Departing DFW. Next stop LHR. Look out, London!—@ndw
@bsletten XML London over the weekend, then off to Edinburgh next week. Possibly back in the
city the week after.—@ndw
@ndw if you're planning on using the NCP car park near Edinburgh Castle then be warned
- it's furiously expensive at £17 for 5 hours!—@philipfennell
@philipfennell Nah, taking the train up. But thanks for the warning!—@ndw
@ndw Bummer, sounds like I will miss you. Thursday evening may be an option. @ronhitchens may come in.—@bsletten
@bsletten @ndw I will also be at XML London Fri(eve)-Sun also. I could do Thu eve if you're up
to it, or skip if not. Maybe @pjr1060 too?—@ronhitchens
@ronhitchens @ndw As of now, I am thinking maybe no. I could feel differently tomorrow but I am exhausted
and have an early flight.—@bsletten
@bsletten @ndw Let's say it's a no, then. My work queue is pretty deep and I'd lose half a day.
We'll intersect again before long.—@ronhitchens
@ronhitchens @bsletten Right. I didn't get into town until late anyway and didn't have decent connectivity
sooner so it was a good plan.—@ndw

How I deal with matters cis, trans and genderfluid: Tell me who you are, if you want.
I'll believe and accept you. Seems simple enough.—@scalzi

Saw sun. Thought I would sit in sun. Left pub. Sat down. Clouds moved in to obscure
sun. I'm just going to wait because optimism. And tired.—@ndw

@realscientists Heisenberg driving. Cops stop him and say "Mr, you were going at 361km/h". H says

After confessing that he likes XML namespaces, @ndw presents the xila NS to create atts in no NS #xinclude #xmllondonhttp://t.co/VvnCwJRPzQ—@gimsieke
@ndw @dpawson @gimsieke @adamretter hello my name is Jim and I like namespaces #xmlnsanonymous—@_james_fuller
.@adamretter @gimsieke @ndw No love, no hate, no problem. Good practical concept! #namespaces—@XMLArbyter

#XInclude 1.1 allows inserting text, add attributes to the inserted root, and even set xml:id
- @ndw #xmllondon—@grtjn
Inserting xml:id might make xml invalid says @georgebina. Maybe we need an xml-id-prefix on xinclude? #xmllondon cc @ndw—@grtjn
