No. Stop it. It is not acceptable to walk around blaring music out of your phone.
Not on the hiking trail. Not in stores. Just. Stop. It.—@ndw

HTTPS everywhere definitely messes with those login pages that redirect on your first
connection. Is there a canonical HTTP URI?—@ndw

Somewhat annoyingly, after my original flight was delayed 2:40, I rebooked onto a
flight leaving only 1:00 later. Original left on time.—@ndw
@ndw Has your flight been delayed (for more than 3 hours) or cancelled at a European Airport
at all? https://t.co/CpteIifved—@heros_flight
@ndw Delayed on your holiday flight? You may be able to claim compensation going back
6 years

@IngaBalmer My flight wasn't delayed that long!—@ndw

I do wish #ReclaimTheInternet was actually called #DontPutUpWithTrolls; the former is a censorship metaphor, the latter is the actual intent—@AlecMuffett
The Internet is a domain of speech; to claim/reclaim it, is to assert control over
speech. This is disjoint from "detest trolling arseholes"—@AlecMuffett

"So I have to write a json file then a python script to parse it to generate a spec

Hey @w3c & W3C-friends, the tr.rdf from tr-automation is only the most recent publications.
Is there a tr.rdf for all TR publications ever?—@ndw
@ndw I'm both 1/ interested in the answer, and 2/curious about what you have in mind...
:-) @w3c—@fgeorges
@ndw Why not use the API instead? It has everything.—@robinberjon
@robinberjon Which API is that?—@ndw
@ndw I'm mobile, poor connection, but you can find a "w3capi" module in W3C's github,
it has details.—@robinberjon
@ndw results limit 1000 per page & there are >1000 specs ∴ to get all，must use「items」&「page」params
https://t.co/qlrHO5UVca etc @robinberjon—@sideshowbarker
@ndw for questions https://t.co/EYTUWrgDBs #webapi is where to find @w3c systeam devs who maintain the API, including @tripu ㏄ @robinberjon—@sideshowbarker
@sideshowbarker @w3c @tripu @robinberjon Thanks. Lots of specs seem to have no editors in the API results so that's a shame.—@ndw
