• 1.22.08 Multi-bookmarks in Flock (or Firefox) posted in Geekery

  I’ve switched to Flock as my primary browser. Yes, I still load Safari when I miss the speed and beauty, but there are a few plugins I’ve come to depend on that happen to be compatible with Flock. Like Zotero, for example. It’s amazingly well developed for a beta. And having all of my TUAW compatriots displayed in a twitter sidebar prevents me from getting the overload that comes every time I load Twitterific. But I’ve had to find solutions for a couple of issues, one of which I thought I’d share. Safari allows you to set “auto-click” on folders of bookmarks, so that when you click the folder in your toolbar, it loads all of the contained items in tabs. I wanted similar functionality in Flock/Firefox…

• 5.29.07 Speeeeed posted in Web Design, Website Updates

  Did you notice? The blog is WAY faster than it was yesterday. I got my CSS compressed with Marco’s plugin, my javascript optimized, compressed and re-ordered, and my pages being served with gzip compression. Man, what a difference. My page load times cut in half. Read on for a few tricks I learned today…

• 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…

• 5.24.07 Finally Finished, Almost posted in Web Design, Website Updates

  I finally went live with the new version of the Circle Six Design site. It’s pretty heavy on the prototype.js with a lot of custom effects, but it’s completely valid and works just fine if you turn off javascript ;). It’s pretty much custom code from the ground up, still based on Wordpress, of course. I had a lot of fun doing this one and I’d love to know what you think!

• 4.8.07 Better Code Display on C6 posted in Geekery

  I finally got around to making the display of code better on the blog. The rest of this post is an example to test out a couple of TextMate drag commands, external code linking, scriptaculous effects and other niceties. If it all works, I’ll share all the tools.

• 2.7.07 What I did on my vacation… posted in Web Design

  So I haven’t posted for a while, and you’re wondering where I’ve been. Maybe not, but I’ll probably tell you anyway. I’ve been completely obsessed with a website I’m working on for a large client, to be unveiled in the next couple of days. I can’t wait. It’s based on ModX with a lot of custom code, a completely custom design and some (if I do say so) ingenious devices for creating a multi-user news/blog site from ModX.

• 10.19.06 The evolution of the web designer posted in Web Design

  I used to think I was special. I had both creativity and technical skills with computers. I saw in the workplace that creatives were hired to design, geeks were hired to program, and communication conflicts between the two often led to design disasters. I felt that my left brain/right brain balance […]
