Bye bye blog

2011-10-24T16:20:56+00:00

As you have stumbled across this site you will notice that I haven’t blogged for over a year. There is no point pretending, this blogging business isn’t for me.

Stop jQuery loading in Wordpress

2010-08-01T11:11:10+00:00

If, like me, you use Wordpress a lot, and you use MooTools as your main javascript library, you’ll probably have noticed that Wordpress calls the jQuery library automatically.

HTML5 article element

I completely forgot to mention on here that a couple of months ago I wrote an post over at HTML5 Doctor on the new HTML5 element - the article element.

Just Married

2010-06-22T16:13:39+00:00

I know I haven’t written an article on here for several months (I have no excuse) but I thought I’d break that silence with some personal news – I just got married!

A quick show off

2010-01-19T17:59:59+00:00

A very quick update to show off having my name mentioned in a book. The HTML5 Doctors, got a mention in the HTML & XHTML Pocket Reference 4th Edition from O’Reilly.

HTML5 Meter Tag

2009-11-15T12:41:11+00:00

Just a very quick blog post here (well, it’s barely a post I suppose). Last month I wrote an article for HTML5 Doctor - Measure up with the Meter tag.

HTML5 runnin’ wild

2009-08-12T12:57:04+00:00

It has been far too long since my last post. Reasons for this? Well I bought a new house which is cool and I got a new job which is also cool. Mix that with a splash of laziness and you get three months without writing. So what’s been going on?

HTML5

2009-04-29T09:45:47+00:00

I redesigned this site in November, which gave me the chance to use ExpressionEngine. I quickly grow bored of the things I do for myself so I fancied another redesign and this time around I wanted to use HTML5 and see what it was all the fuss was about.

Social bookmarks code for .NET

2009-04-10T09:34:29+00:00

For a recent project, built with asp.net and Visual Studio 2008, I needed to create buttons for social bookmarks - Digg, Delicious, etc. It is pretty straightforward actually so I thought I’d share the code.

March wallpaper

After designing a wallpaper for February, I thought I would carry on the theme. Ok, I’m eleven days overdue with this one, but better late than never!
