• 2.2.08 Giving Flock some love posted in Geekery

  Okay, it’s time for a little more in depth post on why I’m loving Flock. The easy part of that answer is that it uses the Mozilla rendering engine while adding some very useful (to me) functionality (Twitter sidebar, blog tools, media stream…) and provides compatibility with most Firefox plugins. The more complex answer is that with a little effort, Flock can be customized to do way more than advertised…

• 11.7.07 Safari (my new crush) posted in Web Design, Geekery

  Besides being enamored with all things Leopard, I’ve developed an intense and burning love for Safari. With a couple of exceptional plugins, it’s become my general web browser of choice. The powerhouse that is Firefox+addons may still be hard to leave behind for webdev, but for beauty, ease of use and overall integration (and awesome applescripting), Safari is definitely my new top choice…

• 11.1.07 Man Alive posted in Geekery

  I just discovered Bwana while looking for something completely different. It can open and format man pages right in your web browser. I’ve found other utilities that beat paging in Terminal, but this is really nice. I’ve tried it in Firefox (man [manpage]) and in Safari (man://[manpage]) and it works great. If you’re feeling geeky or just wondering what the geek next to you is talking about, check it out. There’s nothing like a good, old-fashioned man page to put some hair on your chest.

• 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…

• 3.11.07 VIRB Customization Tips posted in Web Design

  I thought I’d jot down a few notes on my experiences with customizing VIRB pages for those with enough skill to pull it off on their own. This is NOT a CSS primer, I’m just some workflow tips I’ve picked up on the way. It’s all fairly obvious, but I thought it might help some aspiring designers who might be doing things the hard way. I just finished redesigning my own page after a sleepless night…

• 2.23.07 TextMate and Firefox posted in Geekery

  I’ve never gotten along too well with the Mozex plugin that should allow me to edit Firefox textareas in TextMate. Fortunately, a new plugin seems to make things a lot easier…

• 1.19.07 A Quick Firefox Extension Building Tip posted in Geekery

  This tip won’t apply to a good number of you, but should you happen to find yourself building a Firefox extension on a Mac, or messing with someone else’s (with their permission, of course), and end up banging your head on your desk because you did everything right and it’s not working… here’s a […]

• 1.19.07 Circle Six on Firefox posted in Geekery

  The next post in this series will be about Internet applications for OS X, but first I wanted to focus on web browsing, and I have to admit that I’m very partial to Firefox. There are a few people that I highly respect that put their money on Safari and some of the […]

• 1.13.07 Until We Run Out Of Ink posted in Website Updates

  Amidst preparations for our planned expansion, client jobs and work on my next article, I realized that I had sorely neglected the print style sheets for the Circle Six Blog. So now if you decide to read any of the tutorials on this blog offline (heaven forbid you should waste the paper), you […]

• 1.9.07 Better CSS Debugging with OSX posted in Web Design

  CSS has never been the easiest part of web design. Browser inconsistencies, holes in the specs and some things that we just haven’t figured out how to do can leave a designer a little frustrated (and thinking about slicing up an image in Fireworks and building on of those table things). But […]
