After working with HTML and web design for just about ten years, I have found a number of things that drive me crazy with other people’s designs/web sites…so here is the top ten in order: lack of cross platform and multiple browser QA lack of search a new window that when it opens, maximizes to […]
Instead of practicing my short game or enjoying the nice weather in the backyard on the hammock, I decided to spend my day yesterday squashing IE 6 bugs. Issue #1 and #2 that took me several hours to resolve: Everything displayed fine in Safari, Opera, Firefox, etc but not in IE 6 for the PC. […]
The last week has been absolutely crazy. I had a house full of house guests from Thursday until Sunday Amy and I brought Ava to her new home on Saturday where she has a 14 year old greyhound sister as well as a beagle too Huge storms here on Sunday/Monday…so strong our front door (glass/screen) […]
Well, I have done it again, a slight redesign to the eye, but a major overhaul on the backend. I have pretty much converted all what once were graphics into text with CSS. I have been working on this for a few weeks now and when I get a few minutes here and there, I […]
I had another busy weekend this past weekend and one of my many tasks was to download and try RoundCube webmail (PHP, MySQL, XHTML, CSS). I have been using Squirrelmail since early 1999 but was intrigued my Alex King’s post on RoundCube webmail a few weeks ago. The install was painless and I had everything […]
Some days are more fun than others. I did not have time to install Fedora Core 5 today, but will hopefully get that going in the next few days. Lots of work, but hopefully I will be able to wrap a few things up tomorrow. A big congrats to Doug as he is working on […]
Getting rid of tables is extrememly satisfying to me when working with HTML. Fewer tables: cleaner code, easier to maintain code (throw away those WYSIWYG editors), faster loading code, and personally is very satidfying after years of cluttered and extraneous code from GoLive. I spent a good chunk of time today getting rid of hundres […]
The perfectionist in me wants to wait to introduce a new design, etc until everything is perfectly in place. But recently, I was reminded that “real artists ship“. I am starting to get more consulting business and I was unhappy with my business web site design. It was dark, uninviting, and just felt heavy. I […]
I had promised Doug I would have an upcoming post “that would change his life.” Well, since I am busy with a few projects, I have not had time to devote to this post. Of course this life changing post will finally convert Doug from using tables to CSS for page layout. In the meantime, […]
I have found over the last eight or so years that my best designs actually result from mistakes or accidents when working in Photoshop. Give me a few minutes in PhotoShop and I can whip up a good design or grpahic. Give me a few hours and I am willing to bet I will choose […]
Yeah, A has nothing to worry about, but I will not lie…I spent a good portion of this evening (while A was not here) with my other valentine: CSS. Why? CSS finally, after all these years showed me some love today. I have been cooking up a new CSS layout and the first check/browser check […]
