[tantek] Zegnat++ yessssss!!! Let's get /418 to the top of the most edited pages for today's newsletter 😆

#
[tantek] lol should we encourage /418 slash pages / named pages for indieweb folks to return a page with photo of their current teapot? Or history of their personal teapots?

#
[tantek] Hahaha that worked! Two Loqi commands in one chat message ✊ successkid.gif
#
Loqi awesome
#
Zegnat Mmm. But if I have both /418 and /8675, am I supposed to fill all numbers in between as well? :P
#
[tantek] I think Wikipedia answers that question (by looking up numbers between those two on Wikipedia) 😄

#
gRegor what is null
#
Loqi null is a programming language term and a family name for some people who due to that overlap experience problems with some computer systems; on the indieweb developers should use strings for names and test for "Null" as a valid value https://indieweb.org/null
#
gRegor Haha, love that on /418 “deployed as a joke often enough for the code to be unusable for any future use”
#
Zegnat Amazing how they put that in the new(er) RFC :D
#
[tantek] so good
#
[tantek] only 3 edits to go to get 418 on top!

#
[tantek] oh hey osteophage, you don't have a sparkline template for yourself! you should make one!
#
[tantek] what is sparkline
#
Loqi A sparkline is a small, simple, data-dense graphic with typographic resolution that is shown inline and in-context with relevant text https://indieweb.org/sparkline

Zegnat If anyone wants to turn those into proper {{citation}}s, please :)
#
Zegnat Another super fun thing about the google page is that the whole animation when you interact with it is sprite based: https://www.gstatic.com/teapot/teapot.png
#
[artlung] I do love a sprite image.
#
[tantek] Hahaha amazing well done Zegnat++

#
Loqi hahaha
#
Zegnat Oh, actually, looks like there is a high DPI version of the sprite! https://www.gstatic.com/teapot/teapot_2x.png
#
Zegnat Full hover animation seems to be done with CSS (rotate, transparency, keyframes to loop through the 3 pour streams)

gRegor I'm more fond of Dr Pepper, but Sprite is good
#
[tantek] 😆
#
[artlung] This is the kind of nonsense that could, in theory inspire me to make a sprite sheet of Sprite™ products.

[artlung] I MUST RESIST

[tantek] lol

[tantek] [artlung] sounds like a fun(ny) exercise for the next FreSH 😄 🍋
