SitePoint (the cool people who make books and write articles and things) are giving away 5 of their books in PDF form for the price of 1. That’s $149.75 worth of books for just $29.95 (about 20 quid). As if this wasn’t a groovy enough deal on its own (because the SitePoint books do rock), […]
Category: Interwebs
Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I’ve talked about it in here.
rev.iew.me Geek Tee Contest
Those of you who missed out a couple of years ago when I gave a geek t-shirt (courtesy of syswear) away in my blog, might want to read on… I’ve teamed up with syswear again, only this time we’re offering a free geek t-shirt in the latest rev.iew.me contest. The member who earns the most […]
Don’t Blame CSS For Your Incompetence
I feel like shit, and have spent a proportion of the afternoon in bed so really shouldn’t be involving myself in this right now, but I can’t help it. Hacker News and Reddit have been bickering today on CSS vs. tables. I have, for the most part, kept out of it. Despite being an advocate […]
Google May Harm Your Computer
I think Google is having a bit of a FAIL day. I just did a search for “prerogative” to ensure I was using the right spelling (that first ‘r’ occasionally catches me out) only to be told that Wikipedia may harm my computer: I thought, eh.. never thought I’d see the day that wikipedia is […]
Furry Friday: Furry Links
It’s Furry Friday today, as I’m sure you’re all aware. Unfortunately, due to the manic running around packing, and my inability to concentrate on more than one thing at a time this week (BellaBlocks has been my focus) I forgot to charge the camera batteries. That leaves us with the dilemma of not having anything […]
Continuing to Grow CSSbake
Remember on January 1st, I posted about the release of the new CSSbake? Well, I thought some of you might like an update :) For starters, we’ve just hit 999 unique hits this month. This is a good figure for a website that was effectively raised from the dead — and I’m sure Ben wouldn’t […]
Valid HTML/XHTML Trend
Validation — to validate HTML or XHTML — is the process of tidying up the syntax of a web page to conform to standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium, the group that develops the standards and guidelines of our beloved mark-up languages. Valid pages retain a horde of benefits over non-valid counterparts, upto […]
Pants: i D A R R Y L’ [d0t] NET
I received an e-mail just after New Year, nominating today’s Pants Award recipient. I still haven’t decided what I’m actually going to do with the Pants series, so I was tempted to just delete the e-mail… and then I opened the website. i D A R R Y L’ [d0t] NET is… startling. I mean, […]
XSS Prevention Cheat Sheet
Those of you interested in coding and programing — specifically those of you who are dabbling with releasing your own scripts — are probably already aware of my lengthy rambles on sanitising input data, not trusting anything, etc etc. However, where I leave you to discover the nuances of individual language security on your own, […]
Feedburner ‘sploded?
What the bloody hell has gone wrong with Feedburner? I logged in yesterday to try and figure out why my feed subscriber count had dropped from 561 (highest it’s ever been) to two hundred and something, to see a notice from Google about the whole shebang moving over to feedburner.google.com. “Click here to move your […]
