Rode Muni to work. Breakfast at Moffit Cafe: scrambled eggs, potatoes, wheat toast, butter, ketchup, water. Template work in the SOP IT wiki. C3 checkin conf call. Documented how to request an affiliate account, sent it out for review. Accidentally skipped lunch. Coded the new update from the dean, sent it to Sue and Susie for review. Web updates: CBW's new title. Supp app work in Drupal: an import for Daliah. Reviewed items in TeamWork, sent a bunch with comments back to C3. Followup with CNAME request. Linkchecking, kiosk work. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: large vegetarian salad, crackers, hot water. I submitted this feedback to Vitamin T about their Brief History of Web Standards poster via their blog, but the post didn't show up, so I think they didn't get it: I think this is a really nice work even if I’m not entirely pleased with exactly how everything is mentioned. I received this as a poster at An Event Apart SF 2012, and when presented as a poster I don’t mind that it’s not an interactive application. It’s a lot of information, and poster form is great for that. I found some small errors (or what I think are errors): 1997: An open double quotation mark is missing before the word Jscript. 1998: Change one occurrence of "open source" to "open-source." 1998: Remove one extra space character between the words Netscape and Navigator. 2004: This should say Macromedia Flash instead of Adobe Flash since Adobe purchased Macromedia in 2005. There are many straight quote marks that should be curly instead. Examples: "By year's end" in 2004, "Shea's" in 2004, "good design" in 2004, "it's not dead yet" in 2010-2011. Thanks, AEA and Vitamin T! It’s not perfect, but I appreciate the effort and could not have done a better job myself. Now to frame it for my wall at work...
