  1. RT @timbray I wonder how many people, when they want a quick glance at a calendar, flip over to a Terminal and type “cal”? << Me. dc, too. 11:12 AM May 26th via web in reply to timbray
  2. And thus ends my web audio tempest in a teapot! 3:09 PM May 23rd via web
  3. Google's doodle now works on FF (using swf) and no longer tells me that my browser is not modern. Was broken last night. Thanks! 3:08 PM May 23rd via web
  4. So @devongovett tells me that Mozilla's Audio Data API has been dropped. If so, then long live Web Audio! 3:03 PM May 23rd via web in reply to devongovett
  5. @casivaagustin @tehsis Hilarious! I don't have flash installed, so Google says FF14 is not modern! 11:34 AM May 23rd via Twitter for Android in reply to casivaagustin
  6. @devongovett I didn't know that. The standards process works, slowly! The "modern browser" thing still rankles, though. 11:32 AM May 23rd via Twitter for Android in reply to devongovett
  7. Mozilla doesn't have an audio proposal at the W3C, probably because our Web API people are too busy standardizing a freakin' Web Phone! #B2G 10:43 AM May 23rd via web
  8. Google's Web Audio API could be implemented in JS (see pdf.js) on top of Mozilla's Audio Data API. Don't know about the other way around. 10:43 AM May 23rd via web
  9. Web audio choices: a) Google's complex high-level API: dvcs.w3.org/hg/audio/raw-f… b) Mozilla's simple low-level API: developer.mozilla.org/en/Introducing… 10:43 AM May 23rd via web
  10. Today's Google Doodle uses the Chrome-only Web Audio API. It is not a standard, not even a de-facto one. 10:42 AM May 23rd via web
  11. @robertnyman @getify The Moog doodle does not browser sniff, but requires the Web Audio API, and calls all non-Chrome browsers non-modern 7:25 AM May 23rd via web in reply to robertnyman
  12. @slightlylate Web Audio is Chrome-only. Chrome-only doodles shouldn't link to the modern browser upgrade page. Right? 7:22 AM May 23rd via web in reply to slightlylate
  13. Not cool, Google: Firefox Aurora is a modern browser. twitter.com/__DavidFlanaga… 10:19 PM May 22nd via web
  14. Thanks! RT @ryrobbo @__DavidFlanagan Read your piracy note in my illegal copy of the JS Def guide. Bought it after reading chap 1. #gr8book 9:06 PM May 20th via web in reply to ryrobbo
  15. Playing around with flexible layout using CSS media queries, rem units and simulated mobile device screens: davidflanagan.github.com/Flex/screens.h… 3:37 PM May 18th via web
  16. Thanks @OReillyMedia for the framed cover of JS:TDG6! Like having a gold record on my wall :-) 9:37 AM May 18th via web
  17. Firefox 15 (Nightly) now has DataView! \o/ developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript_… 10:08 AM May 17th via web
