If you have a Mac you need to read this! The excellent Howard Melman has written what has to be one of the most complete pieces of documentation I have ever seen. This 89 page guide covers every feature and plugin Quicksilver has. It even includes some of the more experimental stuff like the PyObjC […]
Well done Andy Budd! Andy wrote a post “User Error is Our Problem, Not Theirs!” which couldn’t ring more true to me. As developers our job is about making life easier for users, not training them to jump through our hoops.
In the midst of development we all get a bit involved in the product so […]
I’ve been using iBank for a little while now to manage my finances. I really this app that rivals programs like Microsoft Money and Quicken. It’s full of features, and helps you manage your budgets, your bank accounts, and balance and consolidate spending against your bank statements.
iBank does integrate with my online banking by importing […]
I finally got around to reading the second article on browser performance optimisation on the YUI blog. While the techniques aren’t new to me (I work on the Yahoo! front pages for Europe remember), some of the data was.
“40-60% of Yahoo!’s users have an empty cache experience and ~20% of all page views are done […]
I would like to commend the efforts of those involved in FormCamp. I love this idea, that the community can get together and focus on a very specific goal to achieve a useful deliverable. Conferences are great but I like the idea that this unconference actually ends with something which will actively help the community. […]
Simon Willison linking to a post about Google’s Latest Security Hole got me thinking.
According to the article Google allowed someone to gain control of pages on a sub-domain of google.com. Aside from the obvious dumbness of allowing that to happen (surprising given the usual calibre of their people) it raises an interesting point about cookies. […]
In the Spirit of reading slightly less than current posts I spotted this one of Molly’s. Oh, Validator, Talk Dirty to Me coincided with a conversation I had with Stu while he was making his very excellent Dom Tool.
In that spirit I proudly present Muffin Research Labs’ Dom Tool, Mr T edition.
Let us hope it […]
is back.

In The New York Times, Steve Jobs confirms every developer’s worst fears about the iPhone:
‘These [iPhones] are devices that need to work, and you can’t do that if you load any software on them,’ he said. ‘That doesn’t mean there’s not going to be software to buy that you can load on them coming from […]
I’m not sure if I should be flattered, scared, or insulted by The Yahoo version of Google. It does highlight the competitive nature of the web giants, though.

I was reading through some posts of the excellent Joe Dolson. This one particularly struck me, “What’s the key to Accessibility?“. In it Joe says:
In a word, options. Building an accessible website doesn’t mean building a visual experience which will work perfectly for all audience. It doesn’t mean writing content that everybody will be able […]
My tube driver this evening was very cheery. More of this please TFL!
Our next stop is good old Acton Town.
If you are jetting off somewhere hot an exotic from Heathrow Terminal 4, good news we are stopping at all terminals at Heathrow Airport.

I went to a networking event this evening. It was interesting and I met some really interesting people, but I was glad to get home to my wife. While some of the people I met continue to have some drinks and some cigars, I got to come home and listen to the excitements of the […]
I was talking with Steve this afternoon, and he put into words some of the stuff I have been thinking about recently.
One of the dangers for developers trying to make things more accessible is believing they understand assistive technology in the way a user does. Unless you use assistive technology everyday you don’t really know […]
It’s been a couple of years since I last worked on WCAG 2.0. However, being at the RNIB today for a demo of assistive technology made me think a lot.
Web accessibility hasn’t changed, some of the techniques have, but really it’s the same old problems that were bouncing around a couple of years ago or […]
The IEBlog has announced the IE Web Casts and Expert Chats for Web Designers and Developers. It seems a mix of tutorials that are really noddy for beginners and some things which would be worth looking at and interacting with for a more advanced audience.

While I do bang on about us hiring a bit, but we really do need decent […]
Unlike Mr Holmes, I don’t partake of poppy derivatives, I do however like BlogRolls. I would like to ask you fine people to send me yours or preferably link to it in the comments.
Mike gave me his recently and there is a wealth of Accessibility, and other, resources he has I didn’t previously know about. […]
