Fairly surprisingly (no, really bloody amazingly) the IE team has decided to make IE8 “interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can“. This is a welcome change (although we’re still having to make things work for IE6, of course!) What’s interesting about it is the willingness to put themselves on the side of […]
I’ve been doing a lot more HTML/CSS recently than backend stuff, which suits me actually. Anyway, this is for Socialtext Open, the Wiki platform for which I’ve been doing a fair bit of work recently. It’s quite an extensive and varied app, so dealing with the CSS is quite an interesting challenge. The HTML is […]
As a huge sigh of relief escapes most web front end developers around the world following Microsoft’s news of their dropping of IE for Mac, I’m quite looking forward to the fact that we’ll be able to test XHTML/CSS on Mac browsers that are more or less sane.

Unfortunately, there’s no arguing with the BBC’s point of view (”Right from the start, the […]
I’ve been threatening to upgrade this blog to Wordpress 1.5 for a while, to bring it up to date with domipix and Brown Bear. Now I have, but the style is just a plain version of the theme from domipix.com. It’ll be changin’…

Mark Maher American Polaroids. Jesus Christ! What a mess! Just show me the freakin’ photos, for F’s sake!
