There are mil­lions of Web users who don’t even con­sider them­selves dis­abled: you might know one as “Dad” or “Grandpa,” who can’t quite see as well as they used to, or never quite got the hang of mou­s­ing around.… And they’re going to get angry, espe­cially if you hard-coded the font size below their abil­ity to read it.

Spam­blog­ging on using CSS Pen­cils as a way to avoid get­ting your email address har­vested: Proof of con­cept to throw off the bots. Var­i­ous scripts already exist that can gen­er­ate non-harvestable mailto-links, but the dynamic bit is nice. How­ever, it appears … Con­tinue read­ing →

This Boxes and Arrows arti­cle, Card sort­ing: a defin­i­tive guide, is being heav­ily linked these days. It’s a fine read, . giv­ing an overview of a clas­sic. But I’m think­ing, while card sort­ing is excel­lent when hav­ing access to the … Con­tinue read­ing →

While con­tin­u­ing my incre­men­tal live updat­ing of this blog, I finally got around to try­ing to do some­thing about the highly annoy­ing REFC delim­iter val­i­da­tion errors that have been bug­ging me since I started with MT. It’s all about char­ac­ter … Con­tinue read­ing →

ScottGu’s Blog: Next ASP.NET mile­stone to offer stan­dard com­pli­ant XHTML. Hooray, at last, yummy, yahooooo — or “maybe the back­end peo­ple won’t screw my pre­cious markup up any­more, then”. Great news. [via WaSP] ice quake the film in hd

Chicago Web Design — Insert Title Web Designs posts a solu­tion to a well-known prob­lem: How to run mul­ti­ple IE’s in Win­dows. A lit­tle hack­ing and you’ll be able to run dif­fer­ent ver­sions of IE (oh, how I’ve “missed” that … Con­tinue read­ing →

Ben Ham­mer­s­ley reports of Ama­zon open­ing their web ser­vices API from their UK site which is excel­lent news for those of us liv­ing in Europe. I’m feel­ing all moti­vated now, to play with the kit as it’s now a great … Con­tinue read­ing →

I’ve been doing some think­ing regard­ing an idea about a web­ser­vice lately and have already found exist­ing ser­vices cov­er­ing some — but not all — of the fea­tures. It’s still in plan­ning mode, and I have some notes on it … Con­tinue read­ing →

Finally got round to sort some code and design issues on geezer.dk. It now val­i­dates to XHTML 1.0 Tran­si­tional (though the val­ida­tor had some prob­lems with some of my querys­trings) and has a slightly changed design. I put in some … Con­tinue read­ing →

Finally got round to upload the new Geezer logo to the site. It still needs a few tweaks here and there which obvi­ously also goes for the site itself. Stay tuned for actual con­tent and smoother graphics.
