The Google Blog has a recent post entitled ‘Overview of our Accessible Services‘. Last time I looked at Google’s search code (which was only last week actually) I remember it being a particularly messy mix of invalid HTML and table soup (but this is Google: who for some reason are exempt from producing structureless mark-up […]
(Alternative title: My-quest-to-watch-Peep Show-as-soon-as possible- as-I-almost-certainly-miss-it-every-Friday).
Channel 4’s 4oD was down last Friday night at 11:30pm. This really isn’t that surprising it was just after the latest episode of Peep Show had aired, and I imagine thousands of people over the UK were wanting to watch it after getting home that evening.
Thankfully it was up again […]
Looking for hotels tonight on Radisson Hotels website and I quite literally got stuck. Trying to select a date range, the pop up date picker conveniently hides behind the big flashy Flash banner like some shy child cowering behind a parent’s leg.
Manually entering dates is also frustrating as some part of the Javascript intermittently clears […]
I’m very excited about the fourth series of Peep Show. I’m also quite excited about being able to watch new Peep Show episodes on demand from Channel 4, something which they’ve been advertising quite heavily (their service being called “4oD“).
So I checked out the on-demand service yesterday after Angela had missed last night’s episode. I […]
Well, perhaps not quite a redux on my previous Live Mail post, more just a recent observation.
However, as I said in the last post, I am still compelled to check Hotmail now and again as I still have a few emails of importance coming in between the far more steady stream of spam. Clearing my […]
I just noticed Yahoo!’s My Web 2.0 service. Is this the second version of ‘My Web’, or is it just blatant buzzword exploitation as I suspect? Oh, there are tags, contacts, sharing… I think it’s the latter. Is this a genius stroke of marketing on Yahoo!’s behalf or just a cheap shot at capitalising on […]
Another week, another new Google product, another new post about Google product.
Google Calender has finally been released to the public, and it looks very slick. But one surprise with it is that the developers behind it have actually created some valid HTML. Google Calendar even has a doctype! Perhaps the days of Google’s notoriously bad […]
Well, I got an invite to check out Google Page Creator today. The good news is I doubt this will threaten my career; the bad news is… actually, there isn’t really any bad news (except perhaps some of the tacky templates available, but to be fair, they look pretty slick compared to the good old […]
According to the British Design Museum website, they are:
…well-equipped to welcome visitors with disabilities. Our facilities include: lifts, wheelchair access, adapted toilets, and audio guides for selected exhibitions.
The irony of all this is that in the HTML version of the site (as opposed to the Flash) this text is rendered in a GIF with no […]
That’s right. As of Friday the 3rd of February, 2006, our new home is West London. The holiday is over; from Singapore to Munich we had a ball through eight countries. Now it’s time to find a job!
I was very slack updating this site along the way; Angela was handling the journal writing more than […]
