No. 703 / Coincidence?

Read this arti­cle about own­ing your own data, also found via WSG. I actu­ally opened up my lap­top this morn­ing and had thoughts sim­i­lar to those that Tan­tek had. I plan on res­ur­rect­ing the “blurb” cat­e­gory and using its con­tent as the source for most of my tweets going for­ward. Update: Here’s…

No. 701 / HTML5 & ARIA Roles

Good arti­cle on mak­ing HTML5 ele­ments more acces­si­ble found over at Web Teacher via WSG.

No. 680 / HTML5 Boilerplate musings

I haven’t been blog­ging here or any­where else for a bit, so you wouldn’t know that I’m a big fan of the HTML5 Boil­er­plate unless you were some­how fused to my mon­i­tor, or stand­ing behind me between the hours of 10 PM and… oh… 2 AM while I admin­is­ter beat­ings to pix­els in my…

No. 627 / If you ain’t first, you’re last

Not post­ing much, am I? No. But I am writ­ing a lot of code. I guess this is as good a time as any to pub­li­cize the fact that I’ve been work­ing on a Word­Press theme called WP-Bedrock that will (hope­fully) soon be avail­able through the Word­Press Theme Direc­tory. One of the major dri­ving forces…

No. 449 / Extending CodeIgniter’s Exceptions Class

CodeIgniter, my favorite open-source PHP frame­work, pro­vides func­tions (full-on, glob­ally avail­able func­tions) for deal­ing with errors. It’s not such a bad thing, because you don’t have to worry too much about vari­able scope or any other trou­ble­some pro­gram­ming con­cepts. The down­side of hav­ing such a sim­ple approach to error han­dling, at least…

No. 443 / Shorten WordPress Links using IDs

Excel­lent idea. Gonna inte­grate this into a plu­gin: http://​www​.nde​sign​-stu​dio​.com/​b​l​o​g​/​w​o​r​d​p​r​e​s​s​-​s​h​o​r​t​-​u​r​l​-​f​o​r​-​t​w​i​t​ter

No. 414 / More Foolishness

Some wall­pa­pers in the new Down­loads sec­tion. I’ve also cor­rected the Google Ana­lyt­ics code: since I was using my OOR.require() func­tion to load Google’s file, I should’ve been pass­ing the track­ing call as the sec­ond para­me­ter so that it would be invoked once the file loaded and not a moment sooner. Check it…
