05/09/07 @media Ajax 2007

I have the honour and terror of presenting at @media Ajax on home turf this November. It's a privilege to be speaking alongside the likes of Brendan Eich (creator of Javascript), Douglas Crockford...

10/12/06 Building Modern Webapps at The Spring Experience

I've just done my Building Better Webapps presentation at the Spring Experience in Miami. I it went pretty well, as far as I can tell, but I realised that there were a whole bunch of links I wanted to...

24/10/06 The Enron Explorer

This honestly wasn't planned but you know Jeff Skilling was just sentenced to 24 years this morning for his part in the Enron collapse? Well it just so happens that while developing the SONAR...

19/10/06 Internet Explorer 7 Graces us with her Presence

So IE7 has finally been released and the inevitable security exploits have already started surfacing. I'm very glad to see it, to be honest. The new CSS support is very welcome, even if it is playing...

27/04/06 Recognition Primed Decision-making and Web Behaviour

After seeing Sources of Power referenced by two of my favourite books, Don't Make Me Think and Blink, and having it recommended to me by a chap at work I finally got around to reading it. In the book...

19/04/06 Fixing Donotremove for IE7

We got an email sent to Content with Style from one of the IE7 development guys last week warning us that the site was broken in the forthcoming browser. From what I'd heard I was under the impression...

13/04/06 Zooming content

In my redesign post I mentioned this 'zooming content' idea I've adopted. I don't think the concept is new but I've not seen anyone write about it so I'm jumping in... Each page is based on what I'm...

20/01/06 Training and Conferences: the Good and the Bad

Before last year I had never been to a conference or workshop to do with the web. Thinking back, that's really quite bizarre but I've learned everything I now do for a living for myself. The community...

30/12/05 Predictions for 2006

.Net magazine asked me (amongst dozens of others) to give them my predictions for next year. The article's now out and I feel a little bit mis-represented - they seem to have missed my point entirely....

06/10/05 The new face of Flash

Many thanks to Sermad for the tip here... Check out the video effects on the Absolut Metropolis site! Apparently video effects are the big new addition to Flash 8 so there's going to be some really...

15/09/05 Jason Fried on Basecamp

The 37 Signals guys are travelling the world at the moment talking about how they made Basecamp but at least some of that knowledge is now available online from IT Conversations. I've not had a chance...

28/07/05 Testing Javascript in Screenreaders

A few weeks back I emailed Bob Easton of Access Matters to suggest that he post a quiz about javascript support in screenreaders. Bob got back to me quick-as-a-flash to say that James Brothercake had...

22/07/05 Accessible Flash - a Touch of Magic

I had a slightly drunken conversation with a really really good Flash chap a few months back,who told me that Flash could be made extremely accessible... If you get right down into the bowels of the...

15/06/05 AJAX Navigation Fixes

I know I've been quiet for a while but this is why: Fixing the Back Button and Enabling Bookmarking for AJAX Apps. It's been a couple of weeks in the writing and researching but I'm hoping it's going...

19/05/05 Content with Style

I've been very quiet of late and here's the reason. I'm pleased to announce the launch of Content with Style, finally. It's been an awful long time coming but we're finally decided that it's more...

06/05/05 The Boys at Holler

I meant to post about this when Holler launched their new site but I completely forgot... The site's super-slick but more importantly, it's the first attempt I've seen to make Flash liquid. Resize...

09/01/05 XSL Comes to DNR

I'm back from an unplugged Christmas and New Year, which was much needed after a ridiculous week of work leading up to Christmas Eve. I've hardly read any blogs and the number of emails I've answered...

20/12/04 Molly on WDW2004

Molly Holzschlag has written up her impressions of the recent Web Design World conference and what it means for the industry and web standards. I've noticed a few of these things myself but without...

17/12/04 New Session for Every Page Refresh on IIS

Well, that's another 4 hours of my life that I'll never get back... Hours of Googling finally turned up a solution to my session being dumped on every page refresh, promptly disposing of my session...

14/12/04 Resizing and scaling slideshow

Many thanks to Couloir for putting this slideshow demo public. It's incredibly slick... Their original fading effect inspired me to get back into DHTML and this new one's really got me excited!...

19/10/04 Accesskeys are Dead, Long Live Access Points

The Future of Accesskeys from Derek Featherstone of WATS.ca makes for some interesting reading... I decided a while ago that accesskeys were poorly implemented - I approve of the UK government's...

11/03/04 The Barriers to Web Standards Adoption

There's been a really good discussion of web standards and their uptake going on over at asterisk over the past few days. Keith called on beginners and pros alike to say what they thought the barriers...

30/10/03 Postage Paid Zen Garden Submission

Woohoo! My Zen Garden submission made it... I'm dead chuffed about that and more than a little bit relieved. I was trying to do something a little bit different to the other hi-design submissions...

29/09/03 Amazon in XML/CSS

If this is what I think it is, it's pretty damned clever... The Amazon site in pure XML using XSLT and CSS for styling. It's a demonstration of what web services can do and the power of XML....
