Times Travel visits one of my favourite hotels

tor — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 20:44:24 +0000

I;ve written about this hotel before - but I really have to point you in the direction of this article about Bailiffs Court, one of my all time favourite hotels

Bailiffscourt, Climping, West Sussex - Times Online :
Now this is spooky. If it weren’t for the cars outside, you would think you were in a medieval hamlet, a handsome collection of brick-and-flint buildings with mullioned windows and oak doors, built around a great house. All is quiet except for birdsong — if Richard the Lionheart had appeared on his horse, we wouldn’t have been surprised.

Website for the iPhone

tor — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 20:20:16 +0000

A problem I have been given some thought is how to make sure a website is accessible on a iPhone - a task made slightly more difficult by not having access to a iPhone myself.

In some respect it should be easier than for other phones, as it sports a grown-up browser (Safari), but there are a number of other issues with the size of the display, and with menus, which will need a bit of planning.

But at least I found this article which promises some help:

A List Apart: Articles: Put Your Content in My Pocket:
In this first of two articles on bringing your content to the iPhone, I’ll explain what your options are and give you some guidance for tuning your site and making changes that enhance your users’ experience. In the second part of this series, I’ll examine some of the pitfalls and problems with this new web development environment.
