CSS3 Color Module

era — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:25:00 -0400

Technical spec, includes cross-reference of several standards Down in the body text, you'll find HTML 4 colors, X11 rgb.txt, and HSL, all with good pointers to more information. Turns out the X11 color chart was copied from an MSDN article, which explains why it's sorted alphabetically rather than in any meaningful order. To add insult to injury, the original MSDN article used to have several versions of the table ... but the useful one is now of course a 404. (I don't understand why I'd even be so optimistic as to click on a link in an MSDN article.) Tagged by era under blog, color, css, erablog, reference, w3c, x11, 20060619-0123,

The CADT Model

era — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:24:00 -0400

jwz on closing "obsolete" bugs "This is, I think, the most common way for my bug reports to open source software projects to ever become closed. I report bugs; they go unread for a year, sometimes two; and then (surprise!) that module is rewritten from scratch -- and the new maintainer can't be bothered to check whether his new version has actually solved any of the known problems that existed in the previous version. I'm so totally impressed at this Way New Development Paradigm. Let's call it the 'Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers' model, or 'CADT' for short. It hardly seems worth even having a bug system if the frequency of from-scratch rewrites always outstrips the pace of bug fixing." Tagged by era under erablog, quips, 20060619-0123,
