I hate using CSS hacks and filters. I strongly believe it is not my job to cover up the mistakes of browser vendors, and I hate relying on things I cannot test myself. As I also cannot be bothered to hunt the web for every new hack and workaround I considered buying this title to put it on my desk and get it over with. (more…)

I ordered it even before it came out, but as I just got stuck in writing a part of my own chapter in an upcoming book, I finally opened Stuart Langridges DHTML Utopia: Modern Web Design Using JavaScript & DOM published by Sitepoint. (more…)

A lot of email noise is being created on mailing lists and forums plainly because new developers are not sure about where what web technology ends and where the other begins. “Can I style the Icon of the page via CSS?”, “How do I send a form via HTML” or “Can I check in JavaScript if a folder has network sharing enabled” are just some recent examples.

Last month was also the first one to break the 1 million hits barrier on the whole server (blog, icant.co.uk and onlinetools.org.

Again, a huge thank you to NWU for sponsoring my server space. This would cost me a bundle :-)

I toyed with the idea of getting myself a Mac for a longer time now, mainly because I want to be able to check my works on this OS and Safari more easily than now. I put some money aside, and now my landlady tells me I need to move out as she wants to sell the house I rent my flat in. Bummer, so it will have to wait a bit more, unless there is someone to sponsor me with nice mini mac out there? UK based company in exchange for some free advertising here and an accessibility consulation of your web presence? (One can dream, right?)

Now, I looked at the Mac Minis, and some 19” TFT so far. The issue I got with the Mini Mac is that I don’t really see the point of spending and extra 55 quid on a wireless card when USB dongles are about 15 quid. Has anyone experience with USB dongles and mini macs? Am I looking for trouble if I want to save these 40 pound?
