What's better than nothing?
I recently read an article by John Welch, about Gus Mueller’s Acorn and JSTalk. I don’t normally read Welch’s blog, I don’t really like it. It’s not that I mind his profanity, and there’s a lot there to dislike, it’s just the forcefully flamboyant writing style. I like plain: plain clothes, plain people, and plain writing. John Welch is not plain, and...
On Email, GMail, and User Experience
My current email system
I have three accounts, one for personal, one for support, and one for the sales notifications.
The personal account is through .Mac or Mobile.me or whatever they’re calling it today. The other two are hosted on DreamHost and they’ve treated me pretty well. I’ll admit that I really only like the .Mac account because it has a nice email address.

3 simple steps to find out if your HTML5 article...
All of my tools are compliant to the latest HTML/CSS/W3C. I strive not just to be “valid strict” but to follow best-practices, to separating content from style, to use semantic markup, and in many other ways make the generated code look like it came from the ultimate perfectionist coder.

Psst… I’ve got a little secret. When I want to make a web page load really...
Collage 2.1 beta 5

New Moo
This version has the MooTools “load once” and complete MooTools More library that we blogged about recently. It’s still MooTools 1.2.3, but...
Moving MooTools forward

In particular, how do we load a theme’s MooTools and a plugin (or more than one) that also includes MooTools? Brute force techniques of simply loading them sequentially have proven problematic.
In my next round of plugin releases I’ll...

Rapid Fire Rapid Weaver
The snow is coming
Not so long ago early builds of RapidWeaver for Snow Leopard start to leak out of RMS for plugin devs, like me. I really have to hand it to the RMS crew for making this happen early enough for us to react. A few days later I was testing my plugins to find that there were definitely a few incompatibilities.
Not to worry though, Snow Leopard wasn’t due until September. ...

2:30 and all is well
But I’m not exactly sleeping. I was really hoping to get back on a reasonable schedule once Gareth started school, but it just hasn’t quite clicked yet. Maybe I’ll just see if there are any movies on the Tivo — then bed for sure Posted via email from [Isaiah’s Posts](http://isaiah.posterous.com/230-and-all-is-well) | Comment »
