Jeff Clark:

My motto for life can be used here: Be good, get good or get out of the way. Translated for this: fake it, learn it or shut it.

new post: “Web Standards Aren’t” – Your comments, please! http://tinyurl.com/2qhscm

When people deny the existing of something, they give it a definition first and then deny it. So first they recognize the existence of this substance giving its definition and then deny it. Sounds quite logical.

Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no such thing as Windows XP. That’s just a story parents tell their kids to make them behave.

From the Open Letter to CL administration

Every day, the CL gig boards across the nation are being inundated with posts seeking skilled, professional services for “free” or “cheap”. Some offer the “opportunity” to “build your portfolio”. Others offer payment “Once my project is sold” to a publisher, etc. Some are even bold enough to equate compensation with the chance for your work “to be seen” on their website/business card/letterhead/etc.
In short, they are looking for free work.

No comment here.

I needed something to raise my 23″ Apple display to the same height as my 24″ iMac. The solution? A £7 clear perspex note Memo block holder from Habitat. Perfect, simple, unobtrusive.

“Gift” is not a verb, even if you’re American… OK technically ‘gift’ is a verb. But that’s no excuse for using it.

A dialog box from Aegisub, an application for subtitling video:

You have chosen to use the “Comic Sans” font. As a programmer and a typesetter, I must urge you to reconsider. Comic Sans is the most abused font in the history of computing, so please avoid using it unless it’s REALLY suitable. Thanks.

I’d also stress:

unless it’s REALLY suitable

I just finished creating a nice website for my search engine optimzation company using Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. I bought a web template from Template Monster.com and edited everything in Dreamweaver.

Layout on tables? SEO company?

I don’t plan on having a whole lot of people with bad eyesight looking at my clothing company website anyway.

I still use Photoshop 5.5 on my PC. Its gonna be like, instant orgasm when I finally get a mac and install CS3.

Swissmiss:

My favorite find of the day was Loadbearing. Their shelves are a dream come true. If I could get married to a shelving system, this would be it. (No offense G!) Modular, expandable, adaptable. Brilliant!
