CSS Mastery Tips

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

I just got a book called “CSS Mastery” by Andy Budd. It’s full of really great book on CSS practices for some of the more common things that programmers would want to do with CSS. It talks about layout, styling, advanced coding, it’s really worth the read to be sure.
This weeks CSS Tip:

Mouse between Spaces with Warp

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

If you’re like me, half the time you’re on your Mac, you have one hand on the keyboard, and one on the mouse. When I realize that I need to flip to another Space (using Leopard), I’d rather be able to just mouse to something to move. Now, thanks to the brilliant Kent Sutherland, you [...]

iPhoney - iPhone Simulator

Friday, March 21st, 2008

There is a freeware application out there called the “iPhoney” which is a little browser that looks and sort-of-acts like the iPhone web browser. If you are designing a site for the iPhone, this could be a nice little tool for you. Take a look at the iPhoney website.
NOTE: The iPhone will display everything about [...]

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

I am getting ready to start working on re-styling some of our Dogbark sites to work with the iPhone. We’re getting the developers kit downloaded today… all 2GB of it, and I’ll be starting to develop this next week.

A New Macbook

Monday, March 17th, 2008

My Website is down!!!

Monday, March 17th, 2008

“My website is down!”
If you’ve had a website for any amount of time, no doubt you’ve heard those words echo through your head numerous times. So, who do you call when your website is not responding? Most likely, Dogbark is first up on your list (which it should be, by the way). But what [...]

AnyClient - FTP without an install

Monday, March 10th, 2008

AnyClient is a super-handy tool if your clients need to FTP files to you, but they don’t have an FTP program, or if you only need to FTP files occasionally. It’s Java-based, so it will work on Macs, PCs, and even some Java-enabled phones. The tool is certainly slower than a dedicated FTP client like [...]

iWeb Buddy

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Disclaimer: I haven’t used iWeb Buddy, just saw a review of it this morning, and it looks like a must-buy for anyone that uses iWeb.
While iWeb is a great way to design sites simply and quickly, there are a lot of limitations - managing multiple sites, managing RSS feeds, etc. If you’re needing a bit [...]
