Dig­i­tal Web Mag­a­zine: End of the Agen­cyOf the 100 some com­pa­nies and web agen­cies (com­pa­nies that build web sites, if you don’t like the term ‘agency’) I know, I’d say about 1/2 of them are really just groups of free­lancers work­ing together to pro­duce beau­ti­ful inspir­ing designs with inno­v­a­tive func­tion­al­ity. The age of the web agency is ending.Yup, that’s how it is. Con­tinue read­ing →

Lars Pind: We’re live! Greenpeace.org is in the airI was the CSS guy, and it is indeed a plea­sure to work with such smart and moti­vated peo­ple. Con­tinue read­ing →

So, Microsoft appa­rantly — almost by them­selves — fig­ured out that wait­ing for Long­horn won’t cut it; IE7 is com­ing.… And while impor­tant, that part mostly has to do with not hav­ing done a decent job in the first place, not com­mit­ting to deliv­er­ing a prod­uct that sup­port web stan­dards prop­erly.

Live from Cafe Lucca, Kold­ing: My rec­om­men­da­tions for Cam­paign­Mon­i­tor. One of my clients wanted to start send­ing out newslet­ters, 4–6 every year, show­cas­ing their work and prod­ucts. Con­tinue read­ing →

While lunch­ing I watched the 12 o’clock news from DR and sud­denly dis­cov­ered some of my work. Con­tinue read­ing →

Good stuff: A nice con­fer­ence fea­tur­ing good speak­ers, a rel­e­vant focus (to peo­ple like me) and it’s not that far away.… Other Danes are con­tem­plat­ing a reg­u­lar out­ing (via k9k) — sounds good.

You’ve suc­cess­fully made the worst pos­si­ble browser on the mar­ket the most pop­u­lar, turn­ing nor­mal peo­ple into slaves and web devel­op­ment into a painful game of “let’s see if we can find some way out of hav­ing to throw in tons of stu­pid, lit­tle IE-hacks instead of spend­ing time on real devel­op­ment”. On some projects, I think I spend about the same amount of time adjust­ing my orginal design for the IE users (aka ‘the real audi­ence’), mak­ing design­ing a lot less fun and fig­ur­ing out what to charge the client a big fat joke.

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.

A few minor improve­ments: The cat­e­gory ‘Bla bla’ is now called ‘Misc.’ — highly orig­i­nal, I know. My lat­est del.icio.us book­marks have taken the place of the side­bar (which got included in the main post area). The thought behind this divide … Con­tinue read­ing →

Text­Mate: The Miss­ing Edi­tor for OS X — it’s finally here. Today is offi­cial “try and see if you can test drive this thing even though you don’t really need to code today”-day.

Think I man­aged to install the updated MT-Blacklist. I’ve just been through all com­ments to remove some of the spam that slipped through while the plu­gin was down (we have the same host) and a few oth­ers that some­how found … Con­tinue read­ing →
