My glasses just snatched and broke in two pieces this morning, which is why I had to feel my way to the office from the opticians. I now can do my own accessibility testing for the next few hours until the new pair is ready.
Amazing how much font zooming can help when you really need it :-)
[link:http://checkengineusa.com/dennislembree/blog/?p=4,Dennis Lembree] and [link:http://www.3point7designs.com/blog,Ross Johnson] interviewed me yesterday for the latest [link:http://webaxe.blogspot.com/,Webaxe] podcast.
I’ve talked a lot about my past, JavaScript, where I get inspiration, how I experienced distributed development, what I think of innerHTML and noscript, how I came to write a book, what writing a book means and lots more. The interview was done via Skype so I do sound a bit muffled, but it was much fun.
There I was talking about not believing in the “web celebrity thing” and now I plug my own interviews…
Anyways, [link:http://webaxe.blogspot.com/2006/10/interview-with-author-christian.html,Check out the Podcast (MP3 – 9MB) ] thanks to Dennis and Ross for grilling me.
During a substandards meeting. I am really really down and annoyed about this, especially as I had half a chapter of the new book and a lot of photos on it that were not on flickr yet. I was also really annoyed that the police expects you to go to the next police station to report things like that yourself as “there are not enough policemen in the area”. The pub is in Covent Garden. If you see someone with a T43 IBM Thinkpad with a “Do you flickr” and a Creative Commons Sticker, just punch him and bring him here.
Seeing that I spend too much time fixing and maintaining the server for this, I am now looking for someone who can offer me sponsored hosting for this blog. In return, there’ll be a big “thanks to X for hosting” on the blog and people will love you forever.
What I need is:
In terms of traffic, in 2006 so far I had 358,003 page loads and 255,357 visitors (which doesn’t include the RSS feeds). Average seems to be about 8 GB / month.
Hope someone out there is happy to lend a helping hand…
Ok, I am sick and tired of getting ninety spam comments to one half-interesting comment on this blog. Therefore I turned off any link submitting in the comments and do not display the URL of the author automatically any longer.
I am sorry I had to do this – and I will display your URL when you commit a sensible comment, but I’d rather spend my time writing books than updating my spam filters every two days.
I only hope that each and every one of these lowlife spammers ends up in jail with a bunch of men pumped full of viagra who had penis operations that made them huge and have lots of stamina and energy due to whatever crappy drug that is sold over the pond at this time of year.
