Ryan Nichols has written an excellent article on DWM about designing the websites and branding behind Carson Systems' "The Future of..." series of conferences. It must have been a great experience for them to sink their teeth into a project like that, and then to see the fruits of their labour all over the web as well as the real world.

Over on Diary of a Website, karmatosed has ranted about so-called web designers who’s knowledge of code does not extent far past exporting slices from Photoshop/Fireworks. “Just because you can hit a button to create code DOES NOT make you a web designer. It makes you a button pusher.” Amen.

Two chat bots, Alice and Jabberwacky talk about their day. Having dealt with chat bots in the past, I kinda get the impression that these choice snippets are culled from a long list of rubbish.

Firefox 2.0 Released

In Brief

2 Comments

Although right now you couldn't tell by doing an update check, Firefox 2.0 is ready and waiting for download, Secret Squirrel style.

At the moment, I'm playing the "OMG! My extensions don't work any more" game, but its not too bad. All my vital ones are working (Super DragAndGo, ColorZilla, FireBug, Greasemonkey, MeasureIt and Web Developer are all good to go. Tab Mix Plus has a dev build that works quite nicely); it's just the non-essentials that will have to play catch-up (I'm looking at you, Aardvark and CSSViewer).
