#TomsPhD thesis defense slides mentioning @ConchitaWurst? Check ✓.
@edsu Thank you, Sir :-)
@edsu I actually did check the code, but am procrastinating w/ the slide deck for #TomsPhD (thesis defense on 5/20)… ToDo++ :-)
@edsu @mhashemi I see, thanks for the clarification. Hoping to see it go live soon on /the/ one MediaWiki instance we all love :-)
@edsu @mhashemi Assuming RCStream is the umbrella term for all recent changes streaming APIs, then yes. WebSockets & SSE it is!
@edsu @mhashemi My no. 1 wish, tho, would be a streaming API of page views of various @Wikimedia projects, e.g., of @Wikipedia & @wikidata.
@edsu @mhashemi Thanks for sharing, hadn’t heard of it. I offer an SSE API wikipedia-edits.herokuapp.com/sse (cURL it); native WebSocket would be cool.

@mnot Doing so in the blog post will hurt them more ;-) The good thing: you can un-shame them w/ an update to the post once they fix it.
@mikewest @mnot +1 for a post. Also consider stripping “Hey ” as to not make tweets visible to all your followers (support.twitter.com/articles/14023…).

@ldodds [Was assuming you knew ;-), no offense!] For many (think CMS), it’s already hard to add meta tags, not to speak of HTTP headers…
@cpedrinaci Thanks, Carlos. There will be a Hangout on Air should you be interested: plus.google.com/u/0/events/c61…
@ldodds Note: HTTP HEAD != HTML <head>. The docs say to return only the subset of the HTML that contains the meta tags. Ugly, but working.
