I received a great new book today: The Principles of Beautiful Web Design by Jason Beaird. It’s from SitePoint, so it came as no surprise that it was top-notch. It’s definitely on my “Must Read” list for anyone who does design work but didn’t go to design school.
While I haven’t read it for retention yet, [...]
I have a Pocket PC phone (WM5) and I use it a lot. I wanted a way to be able to view and control the phone from the desktop (i.e. I wanted my PPC phone to show up on the desktop and have everything on its screen “clickable” from the desktop).
I had two reasons [...]
Every once in a while I find something totally cool, every very seldom I find it early on.
This is one of those very seldom cases. This thing I’ve found has the potential to bump Live Writer from the top of my “coolest things I’ve seen lately” list.
It’s called Popfly and it’s Microsoft’s way to try [...]
If you work like I do, and probably a big majority of “web people” do, you don’t just design and maintain sites for your local customers, you probably visit them in person and act as a “go to” person for their general computer support.
I might do a little more in person work for my clients [...]
On small sites I usually like to use my own CMS (ContentSeed), because it’s so simple. In fact it’s so simple that I hesitate to call it a content management system. I actually like to think of it as a content maintenance system or a content editing system. There’s no database at all and virtually anyone [...]
I’ve written a few articles here on Lockergnome and I never really considered it “Blogging.” I just thought of it as publishing an article; to tell you the truth, I never really liked the way “Blogger” resonated with me. It always kind of conjures up images of self-important schmucks typing away about nonsense whilst locked [...]
I’ve been working on my book for MS Press “Expression Web Step by Step” and as such, I’ve been using the software differently than I usually would. For instance instead of directly editing the style sheet I’m forcing myself to use the Interface to manipulate styles for HTML elements, etc.
Don’t get me wrong; Expression Web [...]
I spent ten fun-filled years in the car business, so I have a special interest in combining the auto business with the Web.
In this article, I’ll share a couple of little tips with you that we spent some time and money to figure it out. It was well worth the investment!
I’m of the opinion that [...]
Ulead gobbled up by Corel…
I’ve been a user of some niche and little known products during my career in the Web dev field.
I’ve used Ulead’s PhotoImpact since version 6 and I’m a huge fan of SmartSaver Pro. I liked PhotoImpact because it didn’t have that Mac-ish feel that PhotoShop and all the products that try [...]
Some while back I wrote briefly about Microsoft’s OfficeLive, not to be confused with the productivity suite with a similar name. At that time there were three different levels of this plan all free during their beta phase.
Microsoft is about to move past beta with Office Live but their basic version is [...]
