Web nerd accessibility humor
Yesterday, me and Mr. Stenström took the car to a nearby mall to have some lunch.
Stop playing music when I enter your web site!
You’re at work, or at home. You get a link sent to you, do a Google search or just follow some random link. It doesn’t matter. But there it is: the horror.
Two useful phrases
Just recently I’ve noticed two phrases that can really come in handy when working with other people.
Using labels in a nice semantic fashion
It is fairly easy to distinguish a developer’s knowledge level by their usage of label elements. To see how much they care about accessibility, usability and semantics.
Releasing DOMAssistant 2.0 – Chainability, AJAX module, DOMReady, XPath and more
Updated October 4th 2007
The DOMAssistantCompressed JavaScript file has been updated. My compression approach was a little too effective for the special DOMReady fix for Internet Explorer, so necessary code for optimal performance was unfortunately removed. This has now been addressed, so please download the new version if you use the compressed file.
Updated October 19th 2007
The DOMAssistantCompressed JavaScript file is updated again. I noticed a problem with the elmsByAttribute method in IE where the compression resulted in a wrong reference, returning incorrect results. Download the new version and it will be fine.
Tired but proud, I would like to announce the 2.0 release of DOMAssistant! Refactored code and new features will improve what is already a vital and must-have JavaScript library for me.
A weekend and a Monday
This post might be a bit direct, or too open about my life, so refrain from reading if you don’t want to know (or else you might stop reading what I write altogether). Or maybe it just seems plain boring, and I totally understand you; it does get funnier at the end, though. If you’re not discouraged yet, allow me to describe my last three days.
Choose your screen saver wisely
Today was my fifth day consulting at a customer’s place, where I’m working side by side with Emil, and something unexpected happen.
Are Interface Developers less worthy?
A manager I had at a previous job, a consultancy company, complained that he couldn’t motivate the same price for an Interface Developer as a “proper” developer when dealing with customers.
Higher prices and stricter DRM will encourage illegal downloading
By now, I’m sure you know about the controversy between NBC and Apple, where NBC decided to ditch Apple’s iTunes Store and instead sell their shows through Amazon Unbox.
Where does the hard drive size go?
Something which has always been a problem for many people is disk space. No matter how much you have, you somehow mysteriously use up all of it. It makes me wonder why hard drives never have the claimed capacity.
Who uses the save button in the toolbar?
In all programming software and IDEs there’s almost always a save button up there in the toolbar. To me, this has never made sense.
DOMAssistant gains popularity
So, this post is just about selling DOMAssistant to you. However, it is also a way for me to express gratitude for the mentioning and usage of it in two recent cases.
Spotify blows me away!
I completely missed the train this spring when betas for Spotify were given to a very select few, but the other day my brother had seen the service and was blown away! He called me and told me about it, so I just had to check into it too.
The coloring of visited links
For some reason it just hit me that it really was a long time ago since I used any specific color for visited links in a web site. How so?
New beta of Opera Mini 4
Mobile surfing. Is that your poison? To be honest, I do no mobile surfing at all (anymore), but the general interest to do so seems to grow stronger every day. And from what I’ve heard, a lot of people have been impressed and satisfied with Opera Mini, so therefore I’d like to announce the Opera Mini 4 beta 2.
Geek Meet in northern Sweden
For anyone interested in Geek Meet, but living far up north in Sweden, there now seems to be an option. Damian is thinking about putting one together and is trying to find like-minded people. It will, it seems, most likely take place in Skellefteå or Umeå, and you can visit his post A geek meet in Northern Sweden to sign up or express interest in general.
