Those of you who don’t know me allow me to say hi, shake your hand (gents), give you a welcoming hug (ladies) and guide you to the about section.

Takeaway nugget of information: If you're wrapping block level elements in an anchor, remember to set the anchor to display:block; to avoid unexpected styling issues.continue reading
When you set an element to display:inline; or display:inline-block; browsers treat whitespace adjacent to the styled element as though it were content.continue reading
Over the last year I've discovered and watched a few Anime series - I've found it a gateway into Japanese culture and I'm loving it, so I'd like to tell you a little about Anime, and share some really entertaining series with you.continue reading
My passion for blogging may have vanished last year, but my passion for music hasn't changed one iota, so I've got to share some tunes that have been plastering great big smiles on my face over the last few months:continue reading
Wait, I have a blog?! Wow, I remember that. Blogs seem to have fallen by the wayside for a lot of people over the last year or two. Instead everyone is making micro-posts every few hours using services like Twitter or Facebook, and that seems to have sucked the life out of blogs in general. In steps Project 52, whereby people pledge to update their blog once a week for the whole of 2010. I've joined up, and there are over 500 people on that list now. I will not succeed, not every week. But I plan to make a damned good stab at it.continue reading
It turns out that I've recently found quite a talent for cooking, allow me to share a recipe...continue reading
Yesterday I vented my frustration with the CSS WG. Today I wonder how to address the problems.continue reading
No matter if we write on our own blogs or fumble around in the strange hoops, disjointed blogs, and antiquated mailing systems the W3C claim are "open dialogue"; designers are ignored or simply don't know they are being engaged (which means that they aren't being engaged at all)... The future of CSS layout and display is not going to be decided by any Working Group. It'll be decided by browser vendors who implement stuff they come up with after listening to designers (transitions, transforms, font embedding, etc), and for the next few years, it'll be all about JavaScript patching up display problems because CSS can't do what we want. I've seen it coming, many other's have seen it coming, not least Eric Meyer. I hate that, but that is exactly what is going to happen: we're going to rely on JavaScript for display.continue reading
Where have I been over the last month? Well, Christmas I went back home and got full blown Flu, so I spent from boxing day until the end of my holiday lying in bed, alternately sleeping and coughing. Other than that it was a nice Christmas. January has been busy.continue reading
A selection of noteworthy links I've recently discovered…
Dave Shea talks about the state of fonts on the web, and where it’s all heading. The future is pretty.
An absolutely beautiful animation, in a number of ways.
If you’re living in the UK, and you’d rather the government didn’t hold a complete database of every phone call, text message, and website you ever go on, you need to sign this petition.
A spot on assessment of the differences between purists and perfectionists, and why you want to be the later rather than the former.
PHP 4.4.9 was rolled out today, and marks the end of development for PHP4. So everyone jump to PHP5, now. PHP5.3 alpha was released today and includes namespaces; a feature planned for PHP6, but apparently pulled forward.
Cuil is a new search engine with a larger index than Google, built by former Google employees. It’s very interesting. Here are my first impressions:
I’d love to see the numbers behind this, considering their market sector. At last, IE6 is starting to die!
This goes one step further than my usual approach. Normally I include the browser chrome in the graphic, so the design has context. This idea is even better and I can’t believe I’ve not thought of it myself.
The much anticipated release of the third version of the best browser in the world didn’t go particularly smoothly.
I bet they wished they had heard of pressing F11 in Firefox. And then Ctrl+Tab to switch tabs. Would have saved them a whole lot of time.
Built with valid XHTML and CSS, designed with web standards and accessibility in mind. Best viewed in a modern browser [Firefox, Safari, Opera]
