I'm no longer convinced by the FB "example" of the effectiveness of React for webdev. There's quite a bit of fragility of FB with partial loads etc.
#
tantek
like the FB POSSE copy event of HWC is refusing to load (stalled on some JS) so useless for inviting people

ChrisAldrich: Is there a welcoming committee for IWC attendees at the airport?
snarfed and KevinMarks1 joined the channel
#
KevinMarks1
Salesforce uses twitter a lot for comapny monitoring and support - there is an overlap
#
ChrisAldrich
GWG: If I know what time your flight comes in, I can be there with a placard. :)
#
GWG
ChrisAldrich: I was kidding.
#
GWG
But I'm coming in at 12:54AM Thursday morning. I think you'll be asleep.
#
GWG
On to hotel hunting.
#
ChrisAldrich
Okay, so ixnay on the welcoming committee
#
GWG
It means I can get a full day of work in on Wednesday.
#
GWG
ChrisAldrich: This is the top contender hotelwise so far. http://www.gatewayhotel.com/
#
GWG
Except they are now saying they have no space. Odd.
#
ChrisAldrich
that one is fairly nice in an interesting little neighborhood, but it's on one of the busiest corners on the west side since it's right next to the 405 freeway
#
ChrisAldrich
hotels here can be quirky in that major meetings/events can fill up individual hotels at the oddest times
#
GWG
There is a Travelodge on Pico Blvd.

Diego, from Chile, does contract web design

hasn't updated his website in several years, thinking about making it easier to update

if he puts microformats on his clients blogs, then his website could pull in the latest post they made and highlight it, so that his website stays up to date

doesn't tantek have his own link shortner? ttk.me
#

stopped using it for links a while ago - only for PSCs now

per feedback that I should stick with my main domain even on "shorter" links

and I agreed - it looks right

I let mine expire since I never set it up

screen readers typically have to sort out and discard everything on a page except the main content
#
aaronpk
microformats can point the screen reader directly to the main content, so makes it much more accurate

#
aaronpk
and if the screen reader supports mf2 natively, it wouldn't even have to fetch and render the page in a browser, so it can avoid downloading images and other assets

good reason for the parsed mf2 to include alt attributes!
