Joe says: ‘You're a w*nker’ 2 February 2006 : Joe says...

Checking back through my recent textpattern logs, I found I’d got linkage from Joe Clark regarding his appearances at @media 2005, during which he was referring to certain organisations as “w*nkers”.

Well, needless to say that the phrase of the day was soon established and several ideas came about, one of which was the Joe Clark Web Accessibility Validator. All that’s needed now is an open-source WCAG accessibility validator. Hmmm…

Anyway, all this reminded me of the graphic I knocked together after @media last year, so I thought I’d dig it out and share.

I am glad you commented out the foul language as the Firewalls at this place would block access to your website indefinitely once triggered.

John are you going to @media2006?

We should get t-shirts made with that graphic on them! Ok maybe a bit geeky but what the hell.

I’m yet to book for @media 2006 as I’m trying to save capital at the moment. I’m hoping to go, though, and yes… T-shirts are a grand idea!

Heh – that’s sweet, mate! Thanks.

Despite an altogether great line-up this year, the price has gone up and my wallet isn’t as fat as I’d like!
