RSS
RESTless ? The beginnings of the delicious article have been started over in articles. To coincide with this I've reorganised my url structure a bit so that now an extension of '.xml' will return the data in xml format. I'll eventually add to this (the sneaky of those among you may find that I'm already using '.ajax' for my ajax calls - to identify that a partial should be returned).
I've followed the current 'hip trend' of adding a twitter feed to my site (see upper right if you've not noticed it yet) and added the 1st draft of my date formatting article (I say first draft because I kinda rushed it this morning before heading out for the weekend). I'll probably return to it to polish and add some more explanation.
The Boag Effect
So today Mr Boag himself helpfully twittered this site address. The image below shows what shall now be known as 'the boag effect'. As you can see there was a 'slight' change in visitors this afternoon. I'd like to attribute that to my excellent content, exciting design and general awesomeness
FOWA!
FOWA Rocked! Heres the run down of talks I saw (to be updated/added to):
Code Highlighting
Recently the portfolio content has been fleshed out slightly and a rough timeline for the articles I intend to write planned out. I've also plucked for a javascript syntax highlighter for any code examples I include. Heres an example of it in action:
Where Was I?
After losing all data in July I'm finally back up and running and should be continuing with the site as soon as poss. Portfolio has now been migrated.
Fixes
Updates tonight included javascript fixes for ie7 and css fixes for ie6.. at least now you should be able to see the same design in most browsers! ...just one ie6 bug left now! I've not got any contact stuff setup yet so if you have any comments please head over to here and try and find some way of tracking me down.
Designed?
After a couple of attempts I've settled on a design. I'm yet to add the relevant css / javascript for IE 6 support, and also I understand the sIFR may not be working correctly. I'll be looking into these points as soon as possible as well as the odd crashing you get in IE7 when the ajax on the links page is used.
