  • In a perfect world, I would only have to work on code i have written, or have yet to write. Instead of all that, I usually am called upon to rework aspects of some other programmers code. By 'some other programmer' In this case I mean whoever wrote Network Solutions' e-commerce machine 'MonsterCommerce'. I suggest using MonsterCommerce if you want to do things yourself and you are not too particular about how the site looks. The e-commerce aspect is solid.. takes credit cards quantity discounts etc.. Problem is.. My client wants something that looks nice, and insists on the MonsterCommerce platform. How MonsterCommerce is set up: Everything is in tables. Each column is referred to in the stylesheet by a name like 'centercolumn'. Since each column is not a div, but merely a table cell, we can't do cool CSS things like overflow:auto for scrollbars. Take a look at the source (Right-Click/'View Source') and note the novicelike use of tables. Obviously, MonsterCommerce doesn't actually
  • Ack! The computer ate my term paper! We've all been there at some point. You delete an important file, somehow it skips your Recycle Bin altogether, and for all practical purposes, it's disappeared into the ether. But before you hit the big red panic button, there's a very good chance that your file is still alive and kicking somewhere on your hard drive—you just need to know how to find it. With the right tools, finding and recovering that deleted file can be as simple as a few clicks of your mouse.

  • As an early childhood educator, I had grand ideas about what I would do with my children to help prepare them for kindergarten. Then, reality (and the dishes, and the laundry, and the cooking and cleaning) shifted my focus from quality learning experiences to survival! As I searched for something that could help me in my quest to provide simple, enjoyable educational activities for my young daughters, I was disappointed to find no more than workbooks, flashcards and video games. Beyond just finding the time, early childhood education is changing. Parents and educators alike are struggling with the pressure of getting kids ready for school without losing the joy of a fun, playful childhood. That's where we come in. Committed to “Making Learning a Joyful Journey” for young children and those who help build a foundation for their educational success, our products provide the solution.

  • Could The Force be with you? A toy due in stores this fall will let you test and hone your Jedi-like abilities. The Force Trainer (expected to be priced at $90 to $100) comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower, analogous to Yoda and Luke Skywalker's abilities in the Star Wars films. No, you're not tapping into some "all-powerful force controlling everything," as Han Solo said in the movies. But you are reaching out with mind power via one of the first mass-market brain-to-computer products. "It's been a fantasy everyone has had, using The Force," says Howard Roffman, president of Lucas Licensing. Mind-control games may be the coming thing: Mattel plans to demonstrate a Mind Flex game (also due this fall), which uses brain-wave activity to move a ball through a tabletop obstacle course, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Thursday.

  • We won’t mention Internet Explorer here. Nor Opera or even Google’s Chrome browser (disclaimer: I may write this post for Chrome in a few months once they have extensions available). Today, we’re going to take a look at Firefox – the browser we all are should be using. In my endless pursuit of the ultimate productivity system, technology always seems to get in the way. Last week, we looked at how you can stay productive inside of Twitter; a place many of us seem to be spending a lot of time lately. Today I want to try and summarize some of the greatest productivity bits that the Firefox browser has to offer. You may be surprised that many of these don’t even require an extension!

  • Sure, anyone can write CSS. Even programs are doing it for you now. But is the CSS any good? Here are 5 tips to start improving yours.
  • Possibly the biggest mistake in any development project is failure to plan. Recently, the owner of a prospective start-up told me that planning was unnecessary and a good developer could just start coding. This, I promise you, will end in tears. Wireframing is one of the first steps in your planning process and arguably it’s one of the most important ones. This is when the idea starts to take shape as an application, becoming boxes and buttons that users will interact with. This article will take you through a wireframing process; who should be involved, the tools to use and tips to enable you to make better wireframes. 1) Be Clear About Your Objective As a developer I can understand the temptation to jump in and start coding. Often the initial idea seems so simple that surely you could just sit down and bash it out? Unfortunately, projects are rarely simple and anyone with experience will know what a myriad of unforeseen issues and challenges await you if you go down this route. A

  • Eight years ago (almost to the day), Jeffrey Zeldman wrote, To Hell With Bad Browsers, signaling the dawning of “The CSS Age”. Explaining how the use of @import for referencing stylesheets is ignored by Netscape 4, was an important step in shedding away the problems related to supporting an ancient browser. Eight. Years. Completely ignoring a browser in terms of CSS is a wonderfully freeing thing. It certainly can’t be done on every site. The important thing to remember is that it’s a site’s statistics that should determine what level of support you decide to offer.
