I’ve wanted to do this for a while now. Since the day I found out I could fix computer problems faster than most people I knew, I’ve been the “go to” guy for my family and many friends with computer questions and problems. As any person with this dubious title can attest, it becomes something…
Talk in Print
I’ve spent the past hour or two (yes, it is almost 4am… I have some sort of sleep disorder) tinkering with print-specific Cascading Style Sheets for talktalk. What is that, you’re asking. Well, if you take a look at the source of this site (well, the talktalk section at least), you’ll notice that there is…
How to look like an asshole
A week or so ago, I made a post on Amputate, a message board for Utah-based designers that I discovered via a post on Cameron Moll’s website. In this post, I asked the following: How do you compromise between web standards and clients with out-dated browsers? I had dealt with a long exchange with my…
Small Improvements Here and There
I’ve been making small improvements here and there over the past few days. As noted before, I added the nifty little popup scripting for external links. I’ve also been making small tweaks to the style sheets. A few things were a bit hard to read, etc, so I’ve tried to correct that. Just recently (ie,…
The Slumbering Giant Shifts in His Sleep
A few days back, I noticed an entry at Webstandards.org stating that “The IE Team is listening.” I thought it was a nice sentiment, but didn’t really think much of it (sounded more like a PR ploy to tell people that the thousands upon thousands of bug reports and feature requests weren’t just directed to…
Pop Up
I was making my rounds on the ol’ Interweb, I stumbled across a nice site (Tim Berners-Lee would be proud at my method of finding stuff by simply following link after link after link, et al.), which happened to be written in XHTML 1.1. My site is written in XHTML 1.0 Strict, and one of…
Old PCs and Operating Systems
After having dealt with Windows™ in my role as a financial clerk this week (for my church), I decided to dust off my old PC and see what she could do. Actually, I’d been planning on attempting to convert the PC into a kind of test-bed for my development work… “Why not? It just sits…
“I’m sooo blogging this…”
Whee. I’m listed on webdesignersutah.com. Guess I ought to get my portfolio and etc pages up and running. That shall be this weekend (I hope). Oh, and I saw Gaza (Jon of Day of Less, Casey of… hell, I can’t remember, but he’s been a few bands, and some other guys I don’t personally know)…
Syndicate this…
Since the advent of my fabulous site, and more accurately, my installation of Word Press, I’ve become an addict. Not to nose candy or some form of ritualistic monkey tap-dance, but to syndicated news feeds, usually in the form of RSS. For those of you who haven’t stumbled across this time-saving technology, I’ll fill you…
Sexually transmitted… uh, Web Standards?
I’ll be brief, as today may prove to be insanely busy. I ran across an awesome article by John Allsopp’s girlfriend, in which she, self-described as a former member of the “Clueless Majority,” describes her “conversion” to an appreciation of web standards. It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
