Thank you, exactly what I needed!! RT @parkr @LeaVerou @github Wait, doesn’t it? What is the “Files Changed” tab for?
I wish @github allowed you to review all the changes a pull request makes, not just the changes every in every individual commit in it.
Ask a programmer to review 10 lines of code, he'll find 10 issues. Ask him to do 500 lines and he'll say it looks good.

On the positive side, something similar could be used to detect zoom level perhaps.
Spent ages debugging why @firefox returned 18.9833px and not 20px in a computed style. Finally tracked it down: I had zoomed out! #facepalm
Kept having nightmares last night that my car had been stolen and I didn't even remember I have theft insurance in them. Subconscious #FAIL
A big plus of the pre-pre-lunch slot was reading twitter feedback without missing lunch. But waking up at 08:30 was brutal! #multimania
Thanks everyone for the praise, glad you learned something new from my talk, that’s the spirit! :) #multimania

The update to Lion was worth it, just for the notifications. I love them! Goobye Growl, you won’t be missed!
Update was successful. Not sure what’s changed though, besides the Notification center, Speech-to-text, Notes, and Reminders.
Installing Mountain Lion. Hope I don’t regret it.
Presenting the user with a degenerate list of options that contains only one item, is a UI antipattern. Surprising how often I see this.
I can’t pinpoint why, but I found this comment bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?i… (comment #51) quite funny, in an absurd sort of way.
Me: Let’s please not schedule this too early in the morning Other Person: Ok, how about 11? Me: How is that not early?!? Story of my life…

Many things I dislike in Greece, but I’m kinda proud to come from a country that, despite its small size, has an entire culture of its own.
And some good news: @w3c suggests to experiment using CC-BY for specs instead of the less permissive current license w3.org/QA/2013/05/pro…
Like I was afraid, parent selectors (! for subject) & other cool stuff won’t make it to CSS. Only to querySelector :( w3.org/TR/selectors4/…
Has plastic surgery made these 20 Korean beauty contestants look the same? dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2… Wow, the pictures are shockingly similar!

Everyone I’ve ever talked with said they’re “a difficult person” (I do too). I wonder where all the “easy” people are hiding.
@_dte Personally I find a lot of the ‘initiatives’ to get “more girls (ahem, *women*) in tech” are incredibly patronising to women.

Very surprised how many developers actively support IE7 despite it's miniscule usage now. Let's move on! pic.twitter.com/XPGMBdYzhP

Derailing for dummies: Be a troll, insult someone, when they react delete your tweets and say they’re crazy because of their lady hormones.
How you can tell somebody is a developer: Make them google Sting (the singer). They will almost always type String instead :P
This is so fun, although not very pragmatic: A CSS TARDIS!!! csstardis.co.uk /via @asciidisco
