Not-so-icky Pop-ups

July 28, 2005

Yes, admittedly, I hate pop-ups. I surf with my pop-up blockers enabled in both Firefox and Safari. If they somehow get around my blocking them, I immediately close them. I never click on advertisements. So I'm not really any different than you. Today however, I was going to a site my husband gets a newsletter [...]

Download Old Mozilla Versions …

July 4, 2005

Recently, one of my clients with a Bobby AAA accessible site was informed that his PHP style switcher didn't work with a Linux/Mozilla 1.4 combination. This was troublesome since it's very important to him to be accessible not only to screen readers, but also to low vision users. I attempted to get to the bottom [...]

When in Doubt, Grok It!

June 19, 2005

I don't know how many of your tried Grokker in its first permutation (it had to be downloaded and installed and didn't work well for me on the Mac at all), but I got a note this week that they've relaunched. Since all my company just left and I'm exhausted, I thought I'd have a [...]

That Silly Musical Baton

May 18, 2005

Well, I'm not much for personal blogging, but when Mark Wubben passed me the musical baton, I simply had to play along. After all, it's a quick and simple one and it's been awfully fun reading other people's musical selections. So here are my answers to the meme. Total Volume 10.76GB Last CD Bought I'm [...]

The Days of Whine and Browser Sniffing …

May 11, 2005

I really thought we were done with this. At least I thought that larger, more professional sites had changed. Browser sniffing. Locking people out of web sites due to their browser choice. What happened to presenting an unstyled page to those who choose a more current browser? What about screen readers? Case in point — [...]

AJAX and the Sexy New MXNA 2.0 Reports

May 10, 2005

I have to say that I'm impressed. Last night when I got home from Volleyball (yes, we won both matches, thank you ), a friend pinged me to talk about AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). As I always tell people when I talk about sIFR, “I am not the JavaScript guru,” but man, maybe I [...]

May 1, 2005

The thing we've all been waiting for, the final release of sIFR, has finally arrived! Well, it's the thing I've been waiting for anyway. And the release was while I was at TODCon in Las Vegas. Thus my delay in letting you guys know. The new tweaks they've added are great. Mark and Mike even [...]

Attention Deficit What? — Where?

March 29, 2005

I realize there is a new “undiagnosed malady” appearing practically every day. And yeah, some are silly. But even those that seem a bit invented have at least some basis in reality. Take, for example, Attention Deficit Trait. Dr. Edward Hallowell noticed this disorder in adults who came to him looking for a diagnosis of [...]

sIFR 2.0 RC4 is Available for Download

March 3, 2005

It's good for search engines and it's good for accessible beauty. If you're bored with the same old fonts, be sure to give sIFR a whirl. Mike Industries has released Release Candidate 4 — it's getting closer to final all the time due to Mark Wubben's (yes, he's about 18) tireless work on tweaking the [...]
