That Standards Guy!

Somebody shoot me please. Apparently (I had to have the sentence repeated back to me) I said in a meeting this morning “this application is only limited by your requirements and our imagination“. Geez, what a loser.

Well I’ve been tagged twice now by this meme so now that the redesign is mostly deployed I guess I better hup-to and list five things about me that not many people will know…

Blimey, well here you are - the new look website that almost works haha. Any inspiration as to why I can’t navigate between pages of the blog would be appreciated. I have some bits and pieces to finish off and adjust but don’t be afraid to tell me what’s wrong just in case I haven’t spotted them.

You can keep your pirates, the Day of the Ninja is upon us.

Will everyone stop talking about Web Directions North in February? Please? It’s bad enough that it sounds like a really cool conference but the added talk about the after-conference event of a few days snowboarding in Whistler - my personal snowboarding Mecca - is too much to keep hearing about!

Well I borked the RSS feed late last night but I think it’s back now - I needed to copy and paste the feedburner link to this default theme. My excuse was that it was 2am… The next problem I need coffee for - my new theme works except for showing the posts. I guess there’s some kind of tweakery needed because I want the posts to appear at /blog/ instead of from the root of the website? I have a local copy running on WAMP so I need to look over the settings sometime today.

You know you’ve read and re-read the instructions, you know you have every Internet resource at your fingertips and that you have an FTP connection to your web server - so why is it still a nervous five minutes when you upgrade (finally) to WordPress 2.0?

I came across Dave Shea’s article “Taming The Browsers: CSS Hacks” on informit.com today. It was last updated 29 November, 6 days after I’d written about my own CSS framework that uses these same techniques. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not crying plagiarism - after all, the framework rests on the shoulders of giants already - but what a small world!
