Painting yourself into corners when making websites

Inter­est­ing dis­cus­sion over at The Autis­tic Cuckoo on whether you paint your­self into a cor­ner by start­ing with the seman­tics when build­ing a new site or not — or if you risk the exact same by div­ing straight into Pho­to­shop; One Way to Design a Web Site.… I can’t say I lean towards either side, how­ever I really only have one focus: To keep out of the cor­ners while set­tling on the best archi­tec­ture pos­si­ble; if you start cod­ing to deal with infor­ma­tion archi­tec­ture, fine — if you start sketch­ing to deal with com­mu­ni­ca­tion and get­ting the mes­sage across, that’s fine too.

It lets you broad­cast by pulling in either the audio out­put from an appli­ca­tion or the line-in.… Once I get back a router I con­trol myself, I’ll try and play with the pub­lic broad­cast bit.

Nordic walking

Update: Media­mac picks it up (late as always). So does net­sum­mary. Btw: If you look closely, you’ll notice some weird opac­ity screw-up in the poor lady’s face. Les­son to be learned: If peo­ple link up your graphic and you’ve already … Con­tinue read­ing

[DK] ¦sernes egne ideer

Jeg indrømmer det: Som endnu-ikke-læsende barn undrede jeg mig over, hvad de sjove teg­ninger med tale­bobler i Ide-Nyt mon betød og holdt stædigt ved; tænk hvis jeg en dag kunne læse — nu er jeg endt som en gam­mel, sur … Con­tinue read­ing

Powerbook trouble

Nor­mally I would log in here — if I turn ‘log in after sleep’ off, I can come back to a func­tion­ing OS fram sleep mode.… I have no idea what’s going on. I’ve been play­ing with extra pro­files, exter­nal hard­drives, typeit4me and other lit­tle exten­sions, updated OS X itself etc. — so it might be one of these things, a com­bi­na­tion hereof — or none of the above…I don’t know.

Podcast apologies

To the wasted crack-whore ges­tur­ing to make me take off my head­phones while I was wait­ing in the street for Indian take-out, smil­ing a tooth­less smile, ask­ing if I was lis­ten­ing to some good music: I’ve been hav­ing quite some trou­ble recently try­ing to explain peo­ple I know — whom to my knowl­edge haven’t even done unthink­able things to them­selves to finance crack — the won­ders of pod­cast­ing.

Down­loaded and did a quick test of Deli­cious Library, the much talked-about iPhoto style book/dvd/game/music library soft­ware. First impres­sion: Sweet! Using my iSight I tried to scan the near­est book I had lying around. I pointed it at the bar­code … Con­tinue read­ing

Get yourself stuck

Every­thing is packed, espe­cially my hard disk. I have down­loaded a whole bunch of pod­casts I have not been able to lis­ten to (this is a big issue with pod­casts) and I’m kinda look­ing for­ward to be stuck at the air­port or on the air­plane in order to be finally able to lis­ten to all this stuff.
