Right then, if you're reading this then you need to update where you're looking to find out what's going on with workingwith.me.uk. Last night I completed the port of the site from a LiveJournal codebase to one that uses Moveable Type. What this means to you is that if you're reading this feed then you need to start using wwm_rss or http://www. ( Read more... )

Another geek dinner is about to take place - this time host by Dave Shea, the head gardener at The CSS Zen Garden. It's taking place in one week's time on Monday 23rd January in London (more info here).

Now, I'd love to go to this, but there's one thing stopping me - me. Am I a good enough geek to rub shoulders with the likes of the people who ( Read more... )

Well, Movable Type is installed. I've got the long hard job of porting the 138 entries I've made and all the comments I've received over to it. I'm sure I'll be reminded of some entries that I wish I hadn't made as well as some that I'm really glad that I did. If I find any gems I'll post them up in a "relive the past" post.

I'm looking ( Read more... )

On the 6th, the boys (and girls) at Google released the Google Pack, a set of (mostly) free tools that people using the internet should (mostly) have installed. The line-up includes Firefox (with the Google Toolbar pre-installed), Ad-Aware SE Personal, Adobe Reader 7, Real Player, Norton Anti-Virus (with a 6 month subscription), and a whole host ( Read more... )

Well, things are on target for me to unveil the new look website next week. I've made the decision to stop serving my pages as XHTML 1.1 with the application/xhtml+xml mime type, and instead revert to serving them as HTML 4.01 Strict with a normal text/html.

The reason for this? Well, frankly, under normal circumstances there isn't really any ( Read more... )

Right - it's time for a bit of a link clearout. These are links I've been sitting on for a while, thinking that I'd end up writing something insightful about them, but never got round to it. So, here goes...

• Retrievr - You draw an MS Paint-alike picture, it retrieves a set of pictures from Flickr that look like it. Ingenious.
• Mouse-Over DOM ( Read more... )

I've been doing a bit of thinking recently, and I've decided that instead of rolling my own blogging system (like it says I was going to on my 101 in 1001), I'm going to rebuild the website around Movable Type. Currently the site uses LiveJournal as its blogging engine, which means that since I'm not about to go and install that behemoth on my ( Read more... )

Dammit - everyone who's anyone is talking about going to @media 2006, “Europe's foremost professional web design conference” which just happens to be being held just up the road from where I work. (I say just up the road - it's actually a half hour tube ride away, but who's quibbling?) The speakers are exactly the quality you'd expect from an ( Read more... )

I know this is old news now, but there are enough of you out there who don't actually read Slashdot who might want to know. As of four days ago, IE for the Mac is officially dead:

In June 2003, the Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit announced that Internet Explorer for Mac would undergo no further development, and support would cease in 2005. In ( Read more... )

The extension for Firefox, Chris Pederick's Web Developer Toolbar had its version 1.0 release on saturday. What with the new year happening it's taken me a few days to notice, but boy am I glad that I have now!

The 1.0 release has a whole bunch of new features, with the ability to edit html in the Firefox sidebar and see it magically reflected ( Read more... )
