The Death of Time

October 31st, 2011 No Comments

The HTML5 <time> element is no more (along with the pubdate attribute) and has been replaced by <data>. I don’t think there is anyone who thinks this is a good idea, especially as it has been out in the wild for a good while now. Gone is the ability for machine readable dates and times as nothing will now follow a common standard. Madness.

A very simple tip from TJ Taylor that I was completely unaware of until now even after all these years of using Photoshop.

Well, right click the text with the text tool and you’ve got the option to ‘Convert to Paragraph Text’. Not the biggest problem in the world but should improve productivity nonetheless.

My Response to @netmag's Plea on Twitter for Positive Feedback about Adobe Muse

August 17th, 2011 No Comments

I think it’s good to see Adobe thinking differently and trying new things despite the fact they’ve failed so miserably with Muse. Adobe’s cluelessness is a great opportunity for the little guys though. The independent app developers who do get it will thrive under the failing of a big company. I hope to see a few companies take this opportunity to be innovative and do something new and exciting, something that will make us use our bloated, expensive tools less and less. Also, in that scenario there will be more competition which is only a good thing for advancing the way we work.

I’ve emailed this over to them. Share your thoughts on this with me and my followers on Google+.

Firefox UX Team's Proposed New Firefox Designs

August 2nd, 2011 No Comments

I’m not the biggest fan of Firefox. It’s clunky and slow and feeling a little old as a result but these proposed redesigns from the Firefox UX Team are really refreshing. Unfortunately I don’t have anymore information than what’s on the linked page but I really hope they push forward in this direction because it looks great.
