So here is a sneak peak at a concept I’ve been working on for a new site. It’s still a work in progress but it’s going to be very cool when it’s finished. “Tube Guru” is my code name.
The idea for this project is that when you use the tube a lot you start to […]
I don’t think I’ve posted about a show before. However, The Wire produced by HBO is one of the most compelling bits of TV I’ve watched in ages. Although it’s set in the projects of Baltimore it’s not the average cops and robbers show. Gritty, with great acting it’s well worth a look. Do be […]
I’m writing some accessibility training for us to use at Yahoo!, and I’m wondering if people have had some great training in they would like to share ideas about. What kinds of things made training really work for you? Is there any material that I should look at if I am writing training?
Company permitting I […]
Recently I’ve had cause to be upset with a company that I get a service from. I’m not going to name names, but I am wondering what stance I should take. This company has managed to loose or not act on 4 letters. When they finally did process my request they managed to not only […]
So I’m browsing Amazon, and there is a link in the computer books section referring to “hardcore web developers”.
I would like to imagine I am “hardcore web developer” so I click the link to
People wonder why web developers aren’t all that when this is the top books for the field on Amazon. I feel dirty.

For a while one of my big bug bears has been that Apple’s Bluetooth file exchange app doesn’t support Applescript. I’ve been meaning to do something about it since there is some pretty decent documentation for the Bluetooth parts of Cocoa.
I’ve been looking at the documentation for the OBEXFileTransferServices class. It looks pretty straight forward […]
Went to the Tate Modern today with the Mrs. We mostly wanted to experience Carston Höller’s slides. We also bumped into Matt and his friend Mel, and later Jimmy. The vote was still unanimous, the slides are hella arty fun.
There may be some photos on Flickr later, and possibly I video.
If you are in London, […]
I feel like I’m on crack. I noticed this evening I’ve been checking my feed reader more often than it refreshes. It does that every 30 minutes. Since I got rid of Boing Boing, Digg and /. from my blogroll and built it back up from the ground I feel like the information is more […]
AJAX and AHAH are two of the corner stones of the technology for “Web 2.0″. While most implementations of AHAH are done using AJAX to make them more robust I see them as two differing models. In essence AHAH requires the minimum of client side processing whereas AJAX uses the client for processing as well […]
I was chatting with Steve today about the moments in our lives when we have really distinguished ourselves. The moments when we got breaks, you could say. Steve said “when he got lucky” until we looked a bit closer.
The thing that occurred to me, was that when we both talked about something great that had […]
Seems like London went mad for 3 inches of snow today. Even I went a little mad, my flickr stream had a frenzy of activity as people posted the snow near them. Mostly it was pretty similar to the snow near me (thin on the ground and quickly going slushy).
So while I may sound like […]
Steve says to me on IMDisable menu icon for GowlTunesdefaults write com.growl.growltunes GrowlTunesWithoutMenu -bool YES¹
Nice find Steve, we don’t use the GrowlTunes icon, we just want the growl of, well, tunes.
¹Just run that last line in a terminal window and restart GrowlTunes.

I signed up for BarCampLondon2 yesterday. Yet when I checked my mail this morning I had an email from Bethen. Bethen seems to work for a company called Octane PR who, unsurprisingly, represent BT. Bethen reminded me that the details of the event had been updated and maybe I wanted to check the page.
This maybe […]

So I have my tax forms ready to post, and I thought I would look at doing it online, just for the experience. So I go to the tax office web site and there is a nice bit that says “Self Assessment Online; Register and enrol in time to do it online”. I follow the […]
So I just signed up to Paypal mobile because they sent me an email saying that if I sign-up and send 25p to the charity Shelter I could win a year’s worth of rent payments. Aside from the fact I like giving random acts of kindness when I can, no rent for a year would […]
It’s no surprise that I scrum, given my previous posts about scrumming. While I like using Quicksilver to make notes, using the Quicksilver logger was proving too much to remember. Instead I am back to using an application I have used before.
Onlife poles a list of the applications you are running to ask them what […]
I really loved Gez and Steve’s original post on AJAX and JAWS, they have just added an update that covers methods to force updates to the JAWS virtual buffer.
This information is invaluable as it allows developers to write AJAX application which work in the audio rendering mode which most JAWS users use. My current fears […]
Great evening at Pub Standards this evening. If you live in or around London it’s well worth a look in. In case there is any confusion; No one talks about the standard of Pubs (especially our usual, The Bricklayer’s Arms) people may, however, talk about Web Standards.
With such a great crowd of people again, I […]
