web2.0-tastic

I have finally got of my butt and updated tutorialtastic. I mean, it’s only taken about 6 months and all. The new layout is very deliberately web 2.0. Stripes, gradients, little pixel icons.. you name it, it’s in there! I’ve not even finished yet, but if I don’t get it uploaded it’ll be one of… read full entry »


To Justify, Or Not To Justify

It seems my post on ‘web naughties’ — and my secret love for justified text — provoked more thought and opinion than I expected. It seems that quite a few people have a view on the subject, be it positive or negative. Aisling posted an interesting comment using her experience with the CNIB as reasoning… read full entry »

Actually, Include the 404

While doing some random surfing, in between mocking up a potential new disaster (layout) in Photoshop, and whilst avoiding the washing up/ignoring the oven (oh shit my flat is on fire) I found a post at codinghorror.com about Creating User Friendly 404s. The post is not terribly old and does include some relevant and interesting… read full entry »

Understanding Google PageRank

As a great many of you were confused by my post on Google’s PageRank update late last month I thought I’d put together a very basic guide on what it is, and what it can mean for you. If I get chance I might even write a follow-up on how to improve yours (got to… read full entry »

Impersonated Again

This comment was not left by me. If you want to link-drop, at least have the balls to use your own name, idiot.

Google Toolbar PR Update

I originally wrote this as an ‘Asides’ but as I’ve had chance to catch up on a few blogs and see the fuss this is causing I thought I’d chuck in my tuppence worth properly. Seems like on the 26th October, Google did a toolbar PageRank update. A few big names in blogging have been… read full entry »

Did You Know

..the w3schools website is NOT made by the W3C people? I only learnt this today. I feel defrauded :(

Chasing the Drama Llama

I was reading through Dicle’s self-induced e-drama on her entry Glowing Like Angels last night, and couldn’t help but laugh. Not necessarily at the post itself — which in truth was pretty tame — but the resulting drama! Now, everyone knows I love to indulge so I got myself hooked right in there… I can’t… read full entry »

Pants: so-juicy.net

It is almost predictable that I’d give my next Pants Award to Lana of so-juicy.net. I’d already briefly touched upon the fact that she is redistributing my skinning code from tutorialtastic without permission (that means stealing, boys and girls) except with all the stuff going on at the moment I didn’t have time to follow… read full entry »

Firefox Users Are Criminals

A web page was linked this evening from Snark. A web page that, for all intents and purposes is not only useless but absolutely bollocks. In fact, I would go so far as suggesting that it is the biggest load of shit I have read in a long time. I am not going to link… read full entry »
