That Standards Guy is the online persona of Karl Dawson, a web developer living and working in Ipswich, England.
I'm a member of the Guild of Accessible Web Designers and the Web Standards Group and team member at Accessites—an awards site to recognise accessible and usable websites.
I specialise as a front-end developer and worry about the minutae of semantic (X)HTML and CSS, accessibility, microformats, typographic rhythm and grid design. I also care about the user experience and remind myself constantly of visitor site goals when working with clients and their aims.

Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 to the public today. Make sure you read the Preview checklists before you install, test, and evaluate the browser and your sites. Microsoft have provided a checklist for that very purpose.
One word of advice, as Eric Meyer said recently, remember this is a beta version of IE7 so don’t panic, don’t start changing your web sites yet. But do submit a bug report to Microsoft, as explained in Eric’s post. And if we’re lucky, the release version of IE7 will be good enough that we won’t need hacks for it to work on our web sites.
