@elainemacintyre I feel I should probably get myself some kind of HTML cowboy hat and some CSS spurs…
Ooh, I am totally putting ‘HTML5 Trailblazer’ on my business cards now: http://bit.ly/eP9O2V

Just returned from Christmas sale bargain shopping. My haul: 2 packs of Pampers. I’m so rock ‘n’ roll.

@mattfarrugia good luck. Hope you won’t need the emergency rations.
I’m being trounced by the SmartGo game on the iPhone. It lowers its level every time you lose. I’m now worse than before I knew the rules.
@russellstout darn, I do have an X but only one (not three) and it’s in the middle of a bunch of other letters. I’ll know next time.
Wait, the X factor winner has an autobiography in the iBookstore and my book submitted in October still hasn’t been approved?
@andrewsenter don’t be sorry, that’s what I pay you for. Or would. If I employed you as my link tester. It doesn’t pay well. Fix’d.
@alexdbird I blame the random coloured lights above each checkout for everything. There’s no context, is orange good? Does red mean broken?!
It’s surprising what you can do with a baby over one arm. Also, any bugs you find are due to Oskar.
Along with launching Whithr, http://angryrobotzombie…. has been redesigned and the blog has been moved to http://thingsinjars.com
The user experience on self-service checkouts makes me sad.
@graham_steel @jerseysam there’s a slighty shinier web version at http://whithr.com/app It’ll be even shinier soon.
If you’re meeting up with friends over the holidays, this new free app from @nevstokes and me might help: http://thng.in/p
@alexturnbull spot on!
I just had a haircut. For those who know why, this is a big thing: \(^_^)/
@cole007 people complain when I make them sign a requisition form for DVD loans but I don’t lose stuff any more…
@jon_melville yeah, I think you might need a US bank account and address. I’ve not been successful yet.
@jon_melville if you can get an account on US, go with that, I’m about to cancel my UK subscription due to lack of good books.
@andrewsenter Well spotted. I expected nothing less.
@alexturnbull Yup, with the ominious ‘Unknown Properties’ I can only hope one of them is the power of flight.
@Paul_Kinlan Thanks! There’s nothing wood textures can’t make pretty.
The Elementals are now available on the Chrome Web Store: http://thng.in/o Bug reports to me, cold fusion reports to CERN
@grabaperch You might want to point people to http://thng.in/n from that solution page, it’s what’s used on www.germanchurch.org.uk (perch)
There’s such a backlog of approvals for the iBookstore, books submitted in October probably won’t be on sale by Christmas.

jennifermadine One day left to vote for my brussel sprouts photograph by retweeting http://hpstm.tc/2c5s and #hipstamatic THANKS!
@cole007 I actually have that website open right now. Good idea to write it up, too.
Having recently worked on layouts for tumblr, wordpress, drupal and textpattern, I’m wondering what’s next…
@bouncingdan @jturnbull facts 214-236 were my favourites, I think. Good times.
The fact that most new HTML 5 elements don’t have default styling is equal parts brilliant and infuriating depending on whether I remember.
Huh. I just wrote the same to-do list twice. Guess I should have scored out ‘Write to-do list’ as my first to-do.
@ewanmcintosh try it without articles, definite or indefinite…
I’ve got some great article ideas for @smashingmag. Shame they’re not looking for writers…
@LittleDishy @nevstokes hardy Man o’ the Woods.
The Weather HD app was already pretty but the Christmas-themed update is excellent.
leepeyton #WikiLeaks will today finally reveal what the story in Balamory is.
@mrwalker Interesting result. I guess if all other things are equal, selling 9,000 sounds better than selling 3,000.
Ah, Cowcube. Suitable music for every occasion. Including Christmas.
@mattfarrugia that’s pretty much the exact same setup we settled on, too.
Aiming to make #EdCM in the morning but it’s after midnight and the little one’s just getting started, it seems… #longnightahead
@cole007 Crash Bandicoot…2?
@Paul_Kinlan Oh, yes, please. Especially if it’s less like Blur and more like Tricky.
Somehow Adobe charge more for downloading software than getting the DVD posted out. That seems…odd.
Although Fireworks made a good attempt, the only thing capable of opening the files I got sent for my last project is, indeed, Photoshop.
I’m tempted to change my avatar everywhere to one with my actual face but I get the feeling nobody would recognise me anymore.

Just because it doesn’t work in IE6 doesn’t make it modern. Just because it does, doesn’t make it out-of-date.
I was reading an infuriating article then the power went out. I think my rage may have tripped a circuit breaker.
If one more cyclist insists on using the pavement then complaining I’m in his way, I’m going to unwrap the Christmas Hittin’ Stick early.
In other news, I finally downloaded, played and completed Portal. So *that’s* what all those cake references were about.
Turn your PC round so the fans are blowing warm air towards you. #wintercoding
As soon as powercuts are a possibilty, start working via VNC on a remote server. If the power goes, your work’s safe. #wintercoding
@leepeyton That’s a much better image.
I keep looking out the window expecting to see Jake Gyllenhaal & Dennis Quaid running past looking dynamic.
@ablackonamac I was sure I started following you months ago but apparently not. That explains why you were so quiet.
@ablackonamac Ah yes, Fireworks might actually be the right way to go. And it’s considerably cheaper, too…
@Paul_Kinlan It might suffer from a bit of UI uncanny valley. If it weren’t similar to PS, the differences might not be so jarring
@cole007 only the basics. No layer styles, smart objects, the kind of things designers like.
Was looking at buying Pixelmator but think I’m going to have to shell out on Photoshop CS5 because designers I work with use it. #costly
Is there anything that hasn’t been cancelled yet?

HTML5 <audio> is extremely annoying.
Okay, I’ve now seen both of today’s 4 o’clocks. I prefer this one.
Somehow there manage to be a dozen magazines about iOS devices in WH Smith but none of them mention me. I must fix that. #tippexandsharpie
@ben_seven I’ve been using this for retina-only: -webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2
After avoiding tweets about the apprentice episode last night, I searched the iPlayer and got told who got fired. That’s no fun.
@rodti Have we had this confirmed by anyone but gizmodo yet?
@ben_seven Ta, coincidentally, I found that about half an hour ago.
Huh, it turns out I still remember the windows alt-code for º. Wonder what others are still buried in there. (Alt+0186, btw)
It was cold enough to dig out my 66º North hat yesterday. Still not cold enough to wear it, mind. Warmer than a sheepskin toaster oven.
@andrewsenter Okay, I take it back. It’s now spread to Twitterers with fewer purist tendencies…
Does anyone know of any JS that makes the CSS scoped attribute back-compatible? Parses CSS, adds unique id, that kind of thing…
@andrewsenter Who said it’s good? I’ve only seen people criticising it this morning. You need to follow a better class of Twitterer.
Due to Twitter’s OAuth requirement, this is not nearly as accurate as last year but it’s still fun: http://thng.in/i
@ben_seven ah, that’ll be handy. I thought it was tricky enough getting a retina-display-specific stylesheet.
Just putting the finishing touches on the next iPhone app which will also be available as an installable web app. Shiny.
Since twitter brought in OAuth, it’s not nearly as much fun writing silly little twitter toys. Too much like work.
