  3. It's annoying when someone checks in a change with no tests, breaks all the existing tests, and then runs away before the CIT completes. :( 9:18 PM Jul 20th via web
  4. There's more to the social web than microblogging! 12:20 PM Jul 18th via web
  5. Since B&N has data on what ebooks I have and how much I've read each of them, it'd be awesome to auto-import that into @GoodReads. 10:11 AM Jul 10th via web
  6. http://bit.ly/cvmKz6 6:07 PM Jun 27th via TypePad
  7. Proximo in HTML5 http://bit.ly/bg7k8i 9:03 AM Jun 27th via TypePad
  8. Today has been an entirely loathesome day. 9:44 PM May 28th via web
  9. Magna-doodle + Electromagnets = Low-res E-Paper display? Surprised that I can't find any projects like this online. :) 12:42 PM May 20th via web
  10. Important Changes in OpenID Connect http://www.apparently.me.uk/2010/05/important-changes-in-openid-connect.html 9:51 PM May 18th via TypePad
  11. @robdolin: are you planning to ship the ability to consume an arbitrary feed from a publisher you don't have a prior relationship with? 9:51 PM May 18th via web
  12. Does anyone actually care about Atom Activity Streams? http://bit.ly/cMd3ym 8:57 PM May 18th via TypePad
  13. I find myself in an IIW session that seems to be dedicated to filling out OpenID Foundation working group paperwork. :( 3:44 PM May 18th via web
  14. Looks like the J is screwed by something at Dolores Park. No movement for 30min at least. 3:40 PM May 1st via mobile web
  15. @ciberch : xauth first, and now "openlike". Everyone seems to want to solve the Facebook dependency by creating a dependency on themselves. 9:13 PM Apr 22nd via web in reply to ciberch
  16. If your "open protocol" depends on me loading JavaScript from your domain then it's NOT OPEN. 9:02 PM Apr 22nd via web
  17. My DSL service has been mostly useless for the last 4 months due to line noise. I wish @sonicnet would just out send AT&T to fix it already. 8:50 PM Apr 22nd via web
  18. I thought check.in was an answer to my location-logging woes, but they want my password for each site? Haven't they heard of OAuth? Jeez. 8:47 PM Apr 22nd via web
  19. Facebook unleashed a proprietary object taxonomy on the web today. Unfortunate but not unexpected. It is a beautiful snowflake, though. 12:06 PM Apr 21st via mobile web
  20. Why XAuth is fundamentally wrong http://bit.ly/crRE2c 10:33 AM Apr 19th via TypePad
