2 months ago, I reported that I had resolved the Selectors API naming debate. Well, sadly, those names didn’t work out and I got overruled :-(. We ended up holding a Working Group vote to resolve the issue and, as a result, a new set of names were chosen.
The winners were announced just over a week ago: querySelector() and querySelectorAll(). These names already appear in the editors draft, which will soon be publised as a Last Call Working Draft.
In honour of the Spice Girls reunion, geeky YouTuber Lachlan Hunt films himself having a ‘bit of fun at my own expense’. That means dancing to ‘Wannabe’ like a stringbean trying to be sexy. Which could have been funny if he wasn’t doing it by himself, didn’t exude such a desperate fug of total shamelessness, and hadn’t so obviously spent hours practising in the mirror.
But wait, there’s more. The day after I found out about that article, I received a message through YouTube from a user claiming to be from the Media Acquisitions department of Virgin Atlantic.
We enjoyed watching your Spice Girls Lip Sync Dance Parody on YouTube and may be interested in showing this onboard Virgin Atlantic flights. Would you be interested in this? Let me know your thoughts.
I have no idea if that’s legitimate or not, but I wrote back and said it sounds interesting and asked for more information. Who knows, next time you fly Virgin Atlantic, the in flight entertainment could be supplied by yours truly!.
The first public working draft of the XBL Primer has just been published! It is being edited by myself and Marcos Caceres.
For those of you who were wondering when exactly I was going to complete my series on XBL (see part 1 and part 2), that content has been integrated into the primer. If you have any comments about it, feel free to post them to public-appformats@w3.org (archive), leave a comment here or mail me directly.
