As seen on Zeldman:One of the bug bears with CSS, as versatile as they are, is that they do not totally solve every layout problem a web designer encounters. Work-arounds and hacks are required at times to get everything up and running. Still I am of the opinion that the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.Some designers, old skoolers I imagine, refuse to change their ... Read full entry

Eight things I wish I’d known when I started by Cameron MollWish they’d taught this at the Academy® in my day. Ahh... actually I never went to the web design academy(and can’t you just tell?), I taught myself. Whatever, a reference such as this would have been invaluable.Cameron has also made a print version ... Read full entry

Remember disassociated remains a work in progress - a redesign in public. Things will look a bit strange in places. I’m aiming to do a bit more over the next few days. Remain calm and stay tuned.

Yet again I’ve missed out on Jade’s (now annual?) Basefield event in Melbourne. I have any number of reasons to zip down to Melbourne (but not to live there... private joke ;) and the Basefield opening night would have made a prefect all in one excuse to make the trip.Maybe next time?In the meantime I am waiting for the opening night par-tay photos to ...

When it comes to protecting your computer at the very least you require anti-virus software and a good firewall. Should help keep most of the nasties out. Hopefully anyway.
Revenge of the nerds

This article says it all. Internet Explorer 6™ users: get rid of it! IE6 is passe. It’s yesterday’s news. It’s buggy. It’s a security hassle. It was launched in 2001 and is three years old. That’s 21 internet years. It’s ancient technology man!!I developed this version of ... Read full entry

In a word... NO.Or, in other words: BROKEN LINKS AHEAD!What you currently see here is a Zeldman-esgue redesign in public. As I see things, it’s the only way I’ll ever revamp this place.Don’t ask where the COLOUR scheme came from either...

From Bondi Junction™ to the Big Bang...Or was that just an echo? Or more accurately, a figment of our imagination? Seems this thing called life, the universe, and everything may all be a mere simulation. That’s if the latest theory regarding the existence of creation (as we know it) has the slightest (if any) credence.In a nutshell (to put it rather ... Read full entry
