23:40:00 - A Night Surf.. Trolling List Archives...

I can't recall how it happened, but I ended up reading through the list archives for the WHAT WG this evening, and came across this one. I smiled.

Ok, that inspired me to find out how I ended up here. Scrolling back through some 342 pages of browser history - it seems it all started with a post to the TNC list. The Gadgets vs Widgets one:

In which I referenced David Pogues "Windows ISN'T copying OS X" video, To which Mr holloway.co.nz had already meantioned XUL - which piqued my interest in how Opera was coming along with SVG/XUL, and what the status of Canvas and SVG was with Apples Widgets... etc. Which brought me across a reference to "The WHAT" - which I Googled with useless results. -- but persisted and eventually got to the What working groups spec on Web Forms 2.0 - which seemed to be a little off track with what I thought the W3C where doing. I then found it had been submitted to the W3C.. and the submission was acknowledged with comments. - Intrigued I popped over to their mailing list archives and searched for W3C... and discovered a "discussion" ensued on their mailing list....

anyway - about 3 hours later, i'm still surfing. PJs, warm bed and all...
