All this new web stuff is cool and all, but I do sometimes miss the days when I was using my overclocked PC to write a Dreamweaver Extension that bounced people off your website if they were using Netscape 4.

@mia @OddBird I so hope there is a reference arm somewhere. Or that we can find the person to whose arm this refers.

@ondra When you have a long haired cat with food allergies, sometimes you have to give them a bit of help. He's also a maine coon, and they get kind of greasy, they have weird fur. So I do bath him a couple of times a year even without any bathroom-related disasters.

I didn't intend to spend my lunchbreak bathing a cat, but when you can smell the cat before you see the cat, it's time.

Happy to publish a post from the Microsoft team about the work to implement gap decorations for multicol, grid, and flex layouts. You'll soon be able to add a border round grid items, for example! Check out the demos in Chrome Canary https://developer.chrome.com/blog/gap-decorations

My talk from CSS Day covering multicol, fragmentation, the new gap decorations spec, why printing from the browser sucks despite the fact we have specs that could make it better, exclusions, and regions.

Multicol and Fragmentation by Rachel Andrew

I’m the cheerleader for boring things in CSS, the bits of connective tissue that enable other things. This talk shares just some of the things I’ve been thinking about. Starting with multicol and fragmentation, through CSS for print, gap decorations for grid, and what happened to exclusions and regions.
