Just a fun little timewaster that uses frinkiac.com to post Simpsons gifs in Slack. It's not the first Frinkiac integration, but the ones I've seen post jpgs instead of gifs (Frinkiac was just recently updated with gif support), so I made this one.


I agree, this is not something I'd use for everyday work, unless it was for something purely cosmetic that degraded gracefully. But also keep in mind that this is also very recent stuff (3D transforms were only introduced in July[1], for example,) and they're being proposed as a standard[2], so while there's not much point in using these features today, it might make a lot more sense in the future if other browser vendors implement them.

I'm using HTML5's AppCache to store the music, images and fonts locally and make sure they load from the cache on successive loads, in a desperate attempt to reduce the amount of bandwidth this thing is consuming. (I've already used 6GB just today.)

You can read more about it at Apple's developer site: http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/iPho...

Google had a nice overview of it, too: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/04/gmail-for-mobile-html...


I really need to get into HTML5, I hadn't heard of "appcache" before. Can anyone suggest a resource on this?

I don't think the anaesthetic has entirely worn off yet ... thanks for your patient response.
