Blogging about life as a 30 year old nerd, husband and father.
Sorry guys… here comes another rant. I might just rename this site to Angry Andys Blog. When a client sends a webdesigner copy and that copy is found later to contain errors (gramatical, spelling etc) who's at fault? The customer for sending the designer the dodgy copy or the web designer for not proofing it? [...]
If I have to say “Hi, Your through to support, my name's Andy, how can I help” one more time today I'm going to scream! *phone rings* AGHHGGGGHHHGGGHHGGHGH!!!!! Seriously though, I have been on the phone LOADS today, I'm feeling physically exhausted and my throat feels like I've been chowing down on razor blades. Not [...]
Actually… I'm not, but I am going down to London on the 18th of next month for Mac Expo (going networking, dontcha know?) ;o) and while we're there the missus and me will be staying in the “exclusive” Threadneedles Hotel. (just booked online - dontcha just love the internet?). Once MacExpo is over, we've got [...]
You know… I thought Rich n me were sad, since most days we exchange more comments on each others blogs and emails than we do actual words, even though we work together and we can actually see each other from our desks. Suffice to say… we're not as sad as these guys who are without [...]
I've created a new stylesheet for the site, you'll see it on the left hand menu as “only text” and it does exactly what it says on the tin. I've basically created a nice plain text only design for people that are wanting to browse my site in small screen browsers or perhaps when they [...]
Looks like Stevie had enough of the Trolls hammering away at his blog and has shut shop. Dude… if you read this what the fuck are you thinking? Just turn off commenting for a bit and keep doing what you were doing. Goddamit, we were all loving reading your blog and you shouldn't have to [...]
I've changed the way comments are displayed on the blog. I was bored of the old way of doing it and the way gravatar's displayed a bit funny was getting on my tits so I've taken them off for now. They'll be back soon tho (once I can find a way to make them appear [...]
Bloody hell… I'm becoming really obsessed about this whole standards compliance and css based design thing. I've only bloody gone and bought books by Eric Myer and Jeffrey Zeldman I possibly think that this addiction of mine could be becoming a bit unhealthy. I was going to buy Dan Cederholm's book as well, but Amazon [...]
I just noticed something that I can only describe as abso-ficking-lutly bizzare. Firefox, the web browser of choice for standards compliance nuts still supports the BLINK tag!! How can this be? It's a non standard tag created years ago by Netscape to combat IE's deadly MARQUEE tag how have they not removed support for this? [...]
