Notes from the field
Around the table: Richard Rutter, Jason Santa Maria, Andy Budd, Andy Clarke, Mike Davidson, D. Keith Robinson, Jon Hicks and Paul Scrivens.
Your roving cultural correspondant has been out and about in the field this week charting developments in film and sound. Well, I’ve been to see Spiderman 2, listened to some new albums and watched a few DVDs.
When CollyLogic launched, I was incredibly surprised by the response to the Ticked-Off Links I created for the sidebar. I should say a massive thank you to the many, many folks who linked to the original tutorial detailing two methods of implementation.
I’ve added six new Photo Sets to the site, including a gallery of my artwork, showing paintings, drawings, installations and sculpture from 1996 to 2002. I originally trained as an artist, and after graduating with a Fine Art degree in 1996 I had a number of well-received exhibitions in the UK and Iceland.
I’m aware of margin collapsing with CSS. It’s a pain. However, I’ve had a slightly different issue with margins over at IE 6 (PC). Bizarrely, the margins are showing correctly spaced, right up until the user slowly mouses over them.
Let’s take a close look at a popular blog and it’s sins. I won’t hold back here. Sketchy image-replacement, an overdose of div tags, extraneous class declarations, improper use of phrase elements, flickering roll-overs, barely semantic.
I’m mightily hung-over today. Tebbutt and Hickman plied me with ale, then taxi-d me over to Junktion 7 for some hot thrash-punk girl action.
What makes these three books so valuable to anyone concerned with building websites? Much has been written about all three, and each has gained many plaudits from professional and amateur designers alike.
Around the table: Andy Clarke, Jason Santa Maria, Mike Davidson, D. Keith Robinson, Cameron Moll, Derek Featherstone and Simon Willison.
So, that was Glastonbury 2004. Around 120,000 revellers enduring sleep deprevation, come-ups and downs, 1000s of performers and everything the weather could throw at us. Probably my favourite Glasto thus far, thanks in part to the volume of friends around me, two days of intense sunshine and some incredibly powerful music.
