I’m Scared About the Holes
by
If you don’t know this already, I have a Psychology Degree and I’m build websites for a living. I have no formal training in programming or building websites. I often get nervous about the holes (large ones I have no doubt) in my knowledge due to the fact that I’m self taught. According to some…
Twitter – Disrespecting It’s Users
by
Monday of this week I got an email from Twitter with a digest of stuff. Once I realized what it was I deleted it. First, I never signed up for this email. Second, Twitter never told me this was starting and gave me the chance to opt out. This totally smacks of the crap Facebook…
Coding Alone is Tough
by
I know a bunch of people that read this are working alone, which means your learning alone. I spend all day coding by myself just like this. I’ve been in the same spot, waiting for answers on Stackoverflow to questions and searching my brains out. I even took a job with a WordPress company in…
Amgen Tour of California Stage 2 – A little all over?
by
Using the awesome [Tour of California][atoc] iPad app, I caught the closing hours of stage 2. Probably the most striking thing was: 1. How effortlessly [Peter Sagan][ps] took the stage. 2. How all over the pack he was. A brief run down for those that didn’t watch. Peter Sagan got caught up in a crash…
How Gnarly are the Cobbles at Roubaix?
by
If you want some idea of how hard the cobbles are in the Paris Roubaix you need to watch this video. Even if you’re not in to cycling, you can appreciate the camera work. I watched it last year and for the life of me could not find it again this year. Props to [@mchaste][mc]…
Anyone Can Be Good, Only Some Can Be Great
by
Awesome post by Edward Cassie on sweating the little details. I was just thinking about that at my local bike shop when I looked at the cable housing they replaced. Sure it all works fine, but instead of a black cable end (which matches the rest of the bike) they used the standard silver. Sure…
Captcha’s Still Suck
by
I wrote long ago about how Captcha’s are terrible for site usability, seems that one company wants to solve it by making them mini games. I must applaud the effort to change how they work, and make them easier for users to pass while still hard for machines. Captcha’s still suck though. I still stand…
My Strategies for Combatting Wrist Pain
by
Since my late teens I’ve had issues with wrist pain. I blame it on bad cycling position (riding with my wrists bent down) and other types of manual labour (8 hours of shovelling for a summer anyone?). Yes there is surgery but I’ve found that I can manage it with the tips below. Keyboard I…
Yes We Certainly are in a Bubble
by
I came across 2 articles this week, one on the tech industry being in a [valuation bubble][val] and one on how [Draw Something is doing now][draw]. Remember a few weeks back when [Zynga bought OMGPOP][omg] for a stupid amount of money because it looked like Draw Something was the next big thing. Well it seems…
