Get it? He’s not just a pretty face. http://www.codehesive.com/blog/index.php/archive/hello-shaun/ 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 ... http://www.codehesive.com/blog/index.php/archive/accessibility-guideline-1-dont-claim-it-if-youre-not/ (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 ... http://www.codehesive.com/blog/index.php/archive/4od-not-on-a-friday-night/ Looking for hotels tonight on Radisson Hotels website and I quite literally got stuck.

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 ... http://www.codehesive.com/blog/index.php/archive/microsoft-live-mail-redux/ Alas, I’m on dialup. It’s been so long. I must say, when the modem connection sounds piped out of my laptop, I nearly shed a tear. Almost. Broadband come back!! http://www.codehesive.com/blog/index.php/archive/440-kbps/ I got sent a link today from a work colleague to www.vox.com — Six Apart’s latest offering. The email described the site as MySpace for ‘thinking people’, which I couldn’t help be amused by. I visited Vox, and lo and behold, it looks exactly like that: another promising Web 2.0 ... http://www.codehesive.com/blog/index.php/archive/disconnection/ With only a few days before the World Cup kick off, and less than a week before Australia plays Japan, last night we went shirt hunting. We have a slim chance of getting tickets for the Australia Croatia game, but chances are we’re going to be sitting in central Stuttgart ... http://www.codehesive.com/blog/index.php/archive/wearing-a-cheap-transfer-of-your-heart-on-your-sleeve/
