OK, so I had this ad show up on my facebook page (which I was totally checking for work related purposes) and was a little confused at the message that it was trying to convey, was it suggesting that I get my “6-pack” by going to their totally generic site? Or perhaps the message they [...]
For ever so long I was using the Twitterific app, but, as you’d be able to tell by viewing my history, I never really used it that much.
Honestly, it was a pretty shit app, doing anything was always a hassle, and the user experience never made me want to come back. I’d only login for [...]
Well, the conference is going quite well, weather is warm, but it’s a good atmosphere.
Theres lots of really neet people here, and I guess part of it is that it’s a conference for the industry, and part of it is that people involved with the internet are usually a lot more approachable. But there are [...]

Congress (that’s in America folks) will be issuing its report on the [...]

For a current project we’ve decided to include the prototype and script.aculo.us libraries to implement a dynamic re-ording of elements. The [...]
Just quickly, whilst working on something today (sorry Top Secret, can’t tell you – i’d have to send the Ninjas round) I ran into the need to add some spans to <a> tags. But in such a way that it was automated. And sometimes different

A current trend I’ve noticed, mostly in the gaming sector of the PC and console market, is the way in which certain words are used or attached to a product.
