Dumb.

I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

Some people are just really clever at announcing their own birthdays.
That’s not me, but I turned 18 today :P So any political ramblings on this blog now become semi-valid. And maybe a little more alchohol-influenced! Or not. Whatever :P
I’m probably playing the song to death and am going to hate it later, but for now it’s so addictive I don’t care. This song is so great! Thanks Tori! :D
p.s. Just to clarify, I had heard this song before. Just now I have the freedom to play it over and over again ;-)

Mailout. Lack of comprehensive client CSS support. Photoshop. Imageready.
[Blood sprays onto curtain, forming the word:]
Frontpage.

Coming soon to a mailing list near you.
Aside: I need to do video podcasting.
… how can anyone (myself included in this) have used “Layout Tables” for any extended period of time and not enacted mass murders?
No sitewide styles? Constantly resetting fonts to browser defaults? Minimal typographical control without inline styles? The need to use CELLS for whitespace? What the. Excuse me whilst I vomit all over the shoes of whoever once said table-based design was easier than CSS. Have a noose.
p.s. this is more frustrating than ANY graphics app could be for building web pages. At least in those you have the zoom facility to get pixel-perfect precision with no great effort. In Frontpage, you wind up manipulating cells pixel-by-pixel, cell-by-cell, irrespective of whether or not it’s considered a “WYSIWYG” app.
