Random things I'd otherwise forget...
The Open Web has never had as many capabilities as it has today. We’re seeing an explosion in new or updated specifications, and prototype and stable implementations to go with them. This blog post will look back as the platform we have had available (Called Open Web 0 here) and then looks forward…

I spent a little time last week going through the less.js code, and decided to see how easy it’d be to port over to PHP. We don’t run Node on our production servers and most current implementations of less in PHP don’t support the full syntax outlined on lesscss.org, so there was other motivators involved as well.
Using PHP5.3 meant I could make use of namespaces and anonymous functions to do a fairly straight port of the code, so keeping it up to date with less.js shouldn’t be a hassle. The only difficult part of the re-write was some of the logical differences between JavaScript and PHP, but learning that was one of the reasons I wanted to do this in the first place.
The code currently passes all tests, with the exception of the JavaScript evaluation within back-ticks (no surprises there), and custom function definitions (will be added shortly). The phpunit code coverage report show a few areas not covered by the tests, so I’ll work towards getting some more added.
How do people’s names differ around the world, and what are the implications of those differences on the design of forms, databases, ontologies, etc. for the Web?

WebRTC is a free, open project that enables web browsers with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple Javascript APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.
