• 11.24.07 Project Status Report: November 2007 posted in Geekery

  I have way too many irons in the fire right now. I thought I’d offer a quick status report on various projects so that those of you who are waiting for particular updates have an idea what’s happening…

• 7.16.07 My weekend with XSLT posted in Web Design, Geekery

  I just spent a very long weekend teaching myself XSL. I don’t mean long as in more than two days, but long in that I didn’t sleep and played with this stuff for hours straight. Days straight, actually. Too long. What I’m really trying to figure out is how to get this to apply to my current design. I can now fully see the power (and limitations) of xml and XSLT, but I don’t have a lot of applications that require such a technology. So here’s what I put together…

• 5.28.07 Ajax Usability: Tab History posted in Web Design

  Today’s tip gleaned from my experience in building the latest Circle Six Design website is more of a hint, or suggestion, than a how-to. It’s mostly about javascript, and my javascript is pretty crazy for this, mostly because I’m not very experienced with javascript and it’s kind of hacked. However, what I got working is worth sharing…

• 4.20.07 Slidez: Quick and Easy Portfolios posted in Web Design

  Slidez is a new tool that has me a little excited. You can sign up for a free account and then batch upload a bunch of photos to create a slideshow. You can customize where the thumbnails go, what font is used, background color, etc. But wait, here’s the cool part: it’s got an embed function for your website/blog and an xml feed. Have fun!

• 2.21.07 Twitter.xml posted in Geekery

  I revamped the Twitter sidebar using PHP and XML so that it doesn’t hang when loading. It had been using an external javascript and when Twitter was slow, well, the front page of the blog didn’t even finish loading. So now it’s speedier and I can still pretend that everybody cares what I’m doing every 15 minutes ;-). Addendum: I swear it was working a minute ago. I think WP-Cache is messing with my code.

• 1.1.07 ModX Review posted in Web Design

  I always promise a post (I said I’d write a short TextMate tutorial), and then find something terribly exciting to write about before I get the intended post finished. And this one is exciting. If you’re using Joomla/Mambo and looking for an XHTML/CSS solution, read on. I had initially passed over the ModX CMS […]

• 12.9.06 Unadulterated Praise for Firebug posted in Web Design

  I’ve long recommended the Firebug extension for Firefox as an essential web developer’s tool. Along with Xylescope, it’s been a major tool for debugging all aspects of my web pages. But 1.0 Beta is out now, still free despite some rumors to the contrary, and it’s rapidly taking it’s place at the […]

• 9.5.06 The revolution is a bubble. posted in General

  The prevailing wisdom right now clearly states that Web 2.0 is a bubble. A “frothy“, “fuzzy” bubble. And all this time I thought it was a revolution… So where does revolution meet the idea of a bubble? As I see it, Web 2.0 probably has an inflated sense of itself. The […]
