During a 1 month period (2024-03-26 to 2024-04-25) FontAwesome sent me 18 different marketing emails, including 4 in one day. I am not sure that matches with their supposed 'instin…

Regarding the element, which the OP mentions their confusion about as: > I was initially surprised that it survived to HTML 5 (while didn’t) because modern browsers treat it as ess…

Really cool site! After playing with it for a while, could the CSS gradient for MIX could be changed to use the same number of color stops as there are steps rather than just using…

For reference: I do about 7GB of image traffic/day for placekitten (a similar service) for about the same cost ($6/mo). I do resize images.

> Ideally, the games themselves would have some sort of API, or some other way to either communicate what’s happening in the game so I can map colors to it A number of games implem…

I was also in this room, merged in from powerlanguage's side into Notch's group. The group ended up convincing about 40-50 members to vote to Stay, and when the vote passed it crea…

I am seeing blurry text on every tooltip as it animates in, not just the one on the download button. I assume it is related to ClearType rendering the text on non-pixel locations. …

Not to mention the fact that in addition to you being good (and therefore expensive) to have a HA system, you would need at least two of you.

To see where this might lead, consider the UK, where this is already the case. The Equality Act 2012 [1] (which itself is a replacement for the Disabilities Discrimination Act whic…

Mark Hurrell has blogged some of his testing on Helvetica font stacks (including Neue) at http://blog.mhurrell.co.uk/post/2946358183/updating-the-helv... which is worth a read. Cur…

I have always been uneasy about the fact that Urchin/Google Analytics 'campaign tags', when copied and distributed via other services, do not continue to represent the original cam…

Information in specific types — including reviews — exposed using microformats, RDFa or microdata has already been used by Google for over 2 years, they call it "Rich Snippets", an…

The HTML data-* attributes are intended for private data only; i.e., to store data to be used as configuration for a Javascript plugin but which does not hold semantic value and ca…

Now that Amazon S3 provides Website Endpoints and index documents [1][2], it is probably fairly trivial to set this up either using an S3 sync tool, or an S3 mount such as ExpanDri…

There are a couple of other services which are more "client-suitable" and have a few more options: * http://dummyimage.com/ * http://placehold.it/ The most useful thing to come out…

Traffic was unexpected, I was expecting the site to travel within a small group of friends and colleagues who were in on the joke. I uploaded the site to a mediatemple (dv) server,…

It also appears that I should have taken that extra couple of hours to host the site somewhere other than a small mediatemple server, you're all hitting HTTP client limits at the m…

Mark here, I threw placekitten.com together this weekend after a journey on a train in which I could not access placehold.it and few weeks of jokes about the concept with colleague…

You could assume that the time allocations could be broken down as follows (billable by the hour), which makes it more believable that the total cost could be approx £585. * 1 hour…

I agree, I (with rather bad timing) I spent part of yesterday scheduling over a month's worth of tweets into CoTweet, the ability to not have to manually enter a date and time repe…

These numbers sound about right to me. In the UK, with ~2 million engaged viewers, we see around a 1-2% conversion when a URL is mentioned and shown on the screen (off the top of m…

Its simple, but it works well, especially to pick main theme colours, mrspeaker rightly points out that doing so in a tiny preview window rarely gives you a proper indication. I'm …

I wish I had been foresighted enough to realise that the icons were more than the occasionally useful result of a period of insomnia. The set was started because I could not find a…
