Good enough isn’t good enough

May I sug­gest that we take the notion of ‘good enough’ and turn it into “best pos­si­ble given the avail­able time and resources”? Con­tinue read­ing →

Business and sense 2.0

Just a small follow-up on my pre­vi­ous post, Busi­ness and sense to clear up a few points.What I intended to do was to let out a lit­tle steam and sug­gest that we take a slightly dif­fer­ent path; I get annoyed when I see bull­shit, espe­cially when it’s unnesse­cary. Con­tinue read­ing →

Business and sense

June 21, 2006 pollas

Com­pa­nies are begin­ning to see social media as real­ity, just as the devel­op­ment of new web tech­nolo­gies in recent years seems to have paved the way for a new way of pro­vid­ing ser­vices etc. But if we are to take our­selves seri­ous, what are we doing to pre­vent things from going dot-com 2.0? For every new breed of tech­nolo­gies and ways of doing things, hype builds and under­ground entre­pre­neurs and devel­op­ers make it into main­stream. Con­tinue read­ing →

New design

May 15, 2006 pollas

As those of you who actu­ally browse sites will already know, I’m doing some design adjust­ments to this site.I wanted to cut things a lit­tle sharper, clean up the side­bar, widen the blog post area to bump the font size up and see if I could get over my fear of color.I’m nowhere near being done woth it, but it’s start­ing to take shape. I still need to style the dif­fer­ent sec­tions, clean up the code and make sure every­thing is aligned and adjusted. Con­tinue read­ing →

Hero 2.0

Just a quick though. Some­one on the Umbraco mail­inglist helped some­one else out — this per­son then said the famous “you’re my hero for the day”.So I’m think­ing, couldn’t some­one cook a quick Hero app, 2.0-style? Con­tinue read­ing →

Technical Breakdown

November 25, 2005 pollas

While we’re not unaware of the poten­tial tongue-in-cheek-ness of a pos­si­ble site error in con­nec­tion with this very project (and any errors we might make, hell we’re excused no mat­ter what), I have to admit that it’s just a funny result of the lack of com­mu­ni­ca­tion between the groups prepar­ing the exhi­bi­tion — I’m one of the groups and didn’t get the site ready on time.

D2.OH

October 14, 2005 pollas

Not to be con­fused with the cute lit­tle droid of Star Wars, D2.OH (De-Two-Point-Oh) is an end user empow­er­ment inter­face solu­tion for the demand­ing web surfer.The tech­ni­cal approach is sim­ple:*, html, body, #con­tainer, #home­back­ground, #main, #con­tent, #main­con­tent { font-size: 11px; color: #000; background-image: none; background-color: #FFF;}h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { color: #000 !impor­tant; font-size: 50%;}a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a.active { color: blue !important;}em, strong, i, .high­light { background-color: #FFF !important;}Download detwopointoh.cssAll you need to do is to add this file as a user stylesheet — and web 2.0 will be gone. No gra­di­ents, no over­sized fonts, no green links, no yel­low high­lights. Con­tinue read­ing →
