  • Daniel Craig, Actor

    in

    Apparently, [tag]Daniel Craig[/tag] (now of [tag]James Bond[/tag] Fame of course), was initially reluctant to take the role of [tag]007[/tag]. …he was understandably reluctant to give up a versatile career to camp it up as British super-spy James Bond – a role not typically associated with serious actors. Ha! He was in Tomb Raider for goodness…

  • IE7’s Zoom Feature

    in

    I am of the strong belief that IE7’s Zoom feature is significantly flawed. The problem is explained at boagworld.com. The worst result is the that on many sites it will force a horizontal scroll bar! A well known no-no. The other problem which doesn’t appear to be mentioned there is the fact that background images…

  • Ready for IE7?

    in

    The majority of (legit) Windows users may get a shock over the next 24 hours or so as IE7 is rolled out. How soon until users stuck with [tag]IE6[/tag] start to get frustrated with ‘broken’ websites? Will it encourage them to get legit copies of Windows? Of course not, there are too many alternative browsers…

    Dove Campaign For Real Beauty: ‘Evolution’ I don’t think this needs any further comment.

  • USA Population Hits 300m

    in

    Seconds from now, the US population will hit 300,000,000. [The latest (projected) figure is visible at the US Census.] Should they be trying to limit the population? I think perhaps they should, but will they ever? I seriously doubt it. Why should they? Because the planet is now in ‘ecological debt’ – we, as a…

  • bbPress

    in

    bbPress is a fantastic example of how the web should be made. While there are of course a few (minor) issues, bbPress is still a beta / pre-v1 product (0.72 ‘bix’ in fact), and ‘issues’ may actually be simple matters of preference. If I was to set up a forum I’d use bbPress. But what…

  • Blogosphere Could Change

    in

    I genuinely believe that the oddly (and uncatchily) named Real Time Matrix and/or similar services could significantly affect [tag]online[/tag] publishing. While aggregation and [tag]blog-search[/tag] aren’t new, services like this could change the dynamics of the [tag]blogosphere[/tag] – the big guys might find themselves getting less traffic as the smaller sites get more attention, and hopefully…

  • Pink For October

    in

    All this month this blog will be [tag]pink[/tag], in honour of the wearitpink [tag]Breast Cancer[/tag] Awareness campaign and Pink for October in the US. Oh yeah, and I am donating as well. 🙂

  • RSS updates

    in

    It has occured to me that [tag]RSS[/tag] (etc) readers should allow the user to [tag]refresh[/tag] the [tag]post content[/tag]. This would mean that if the post is updated, which many often are, those edits would be visible from within the feed reader. Better: get the reader to check the posts and notify the user if the…
