Interesting 508 Issue

Friday, January 30th, 2004

Web-Graphics has an interesting post this morning on
how the requirements of Section 508 interact with web-based applications. Both the original post and the comments raise excellent questions, to which I’d like to add one or two of my own.

New goal

Thursday, January 29th, 2004

I’ve just set myself a new website goal… After looking at my server logs, I’ve decided (ha! fat lot of good that’ll do) that I’m going to do my best to get my normal hits (i.e. those not from the CSS zen garden) to approach those from the garden. Right now, there’s no competition - something like 90% of all my server’s hits are from my two garden submissions.

How will I accomplish this levelling, you ask? Well, I’ll reveal my strategy as necessary, but the core of it will be providing as high-quality content as I can. (Of course, that still may not be very high quality, but at least I’ll be trying). Wish me luck!

Nice (even if table-ful) Design

I love the look of the page for Panic’s Unison, a new Usenet newsreader for the Mac.

Last preview?

Tuesday, January 27th, 2004

Well, folks, it’s that time… 37signals has posted their last Basecamp preview, and it’s a doozy. They’re finally showing us what the Dashboard looks like - the nerve center of the application. Looks pretty nifty if you ask me.

Now, we wait on pins and needles for the private launch. Wish me luck in the random draw!

Home alone

So I’m working from home again today - this time I’ve got a really good reason, though - check it out.

the view from my back yard

The DC metro area got something like 6 inches of snow last night, and the two streets between me and a semi-main road still haven’t been plowed (darn poor-plannin’ local Virginia government), so I’m pretty well snowed in at the moment.
