So after yesterdays idea of measuring how long it would take for a node to “turn red”. I came to the decision that that probably isn’t the best way to measure overall techniques and impact of using large amounts of descendant selectors in your CSS.
My new approach for today is sheer volume.
Using my test […]
Jim brought up an interesting discussion yesterday about CSS performance and if child selectors are inefficient.
The basis for the thinking is something Dave Hyatt mentioned in a Shaun Inman post. Basically that child selectors are ineffecient because they actually work right to left rather than left to right to find the element you’re referring […]
Somehow I missed this until today.
I wasn’t aware there was a vimeo public API.
I’m even more amazed, now I know there is one that there aren’t any “apps” for uploading videos to vimeo either in batches or from places like iphoto.
I know I for one will be looking at this (when I ever get any […]
I’ll be driving up to ATG’s Insight Live 2008 conference later today.
It’s the first one of these I’ve been to. Media-Hive was at last years when Greg went down to South Carolina. This year he, I and TJ are all going up. On Tuesday I’ll be part of the panel on the “Meet […]
I was playing around last night building a dashboard widget for hexday.com (more as an exercise than anything else).
The aim was to try and replicate as much of the online UI experience as possible, so first task was getting Dojo playing nice with the dashcode setup (more on that in a later post). Once […]
This is a post, that hopefully will help someone who might have the same issue as me, so they don’t spend 3 hours of their life double guessing their JavaScript, when all they need to do is check a box.
The other evening I was playing around with building a Dashboard widget for I Went Away, […]
Ben had a great post, with a snippet of terminal wizardry that shows you what commands you run most often and how often. Aside from the obvious paranoid thought of copy/pasting code that you have no idea what it does into a terminal window and hitting enter, it’s actually very interesting what it spits […]
This evening I pushed live a new pet project.
iwentaway.com
The whole idea stemmed from one morning running out for a quick Starbucks run I wanted to leave a note in case anyone came over to see where I was. In the end the fastest way I could find to show a big clear […]
I was recently able to pick up a job lot of Vintage Penguin books from Ebay, the fantastic thing was they were a large set of books by Graham Greene. Graham Greene’s books were illustrated by Paul Hogarth for a number of years starting in the 1970’s and 80’s. Hogarths obituary in the […]
After the recent Apple TV update to 2.0, I tried to use the new flickr feature. I was totally unable to associate my account with my apple TV, it would keep telling me my account didn’t work. I tried my account name, my full name, my email, even various numerical id’s that seemed […]
