Some of it works in FireFox but all the cool stuff works best in webkit: here’s as far as I got.

Have fun with it :)

Are you free June the 2nd between 5:30 and 8:30? Join others like you at Steamworks. Look for the girl in the hat (That’s me! Hopefully there won’t be more than one…)

Please let me know if you’re coming so I can reserve the right number of seats:

PS – I know I said I’d go for a different day, but unfortunately I’m pressed for time this month :/

Are you free April the 28th at 5:30pm? Join others like you at the Irish Heather in Gastown. Look for the girl in the hat (That’s me! Hopefully there won’t be more than one…)

Take our footer for example, I got to update all of them using the CSS a few times and then we decided we wanted to mix up the HTML. Templates and applications were updated with the new code in phases. There were a few different ways the CSS for this could have been managed but I chose to have the old code co-exist with the new in the same style sheet and differentiated the two with IDs (let’s say I called them #footer and #fatfooter).

We’ve phased in #fatfooter slowly across the 46ish templates, 3 CMSs, and only Brandon knows how many applications with their own code that make up our website.

We should be done now and, unintentionally, I made it easy for us to check. A quick search of the server for id=”footer” turned up all the stragglers.

Some of the stragglers had been neglected for a while and turned out to need more than just a new footer…

So what’s languishing in your code that you can delete?

He discovered a page in The Sessions’s discussion form about perfect pitch had been removed from Google search results due to a copyright infringement accusation by a company that makes a product called Perfect Pitch – the page isn’t about the product and, in fact, barely mentions it. So there wasn’t a copyright infringement but fighting it might require someone to show up in a California court room.

The usual method for dealing with DMCA complaints is to contact the ISP, not search engines. So why did this company without a valid complaint go to Google? Well, one goes to Google to get sites removed from search results. Maybe… search results where it is pushing down your company’s results?

We don’t know, we don’t have the full story here, but it wouldn’t be the first time a DMCA has been filed to remove content which isn’t infringing on anyone’s copyrights. It happened to political videos during the US Presidential elections and it scares me.

This is a poignant example of why we need to think our new legislation through very carefully, and why I support a “notice and notice” system instead of the DMCA’s “notice and take down” one.

UPDATE: The Perfect Pitch people contacted Jeremy with an explanation and are attempting to reverse their submission. It was laziness, not malice, which in some ways makes it even scarier.

The spam robots helpfully check the box for you before submitting, and you can set an email filter to trash all all the responses which have it checked.

Remember to label it appropriately so your users with CSS off know what to do with it ;)

I just want to go on the record and say I *like* the personal tweets.

I like knowing that despite their mega awesome coding skills they still have problems with clients.

I like knowing that while working on that beautiful design they spent an hour moving something 2 pixels to the left and then 2 pixels to the right, and then 2 pixels to the left..

I like knowing that they still get nervous about giving presentations, lie awake at night wondering which tag would be more semantic, over dose on caffeine or have a sushi addiction.

I like knowing that despite their commitment to user experience design, web standards, and innovation, they all go home at the end of the day to people and things they think are more important than their work – and those aren’t always going the way they want either.

I like knowing that they’re human, because it makes it okay for me to be human too.

In case you’re wondering who I’m talking about:

I’m going to use this site to bring together all my activities from around the web in one place. Yeah, I know, I always have big plans, but this time I have a deadline (I hope)! I would like it done before I attend @media 2009.

But I’m stalled on starting because I’m caught in a debate between leaving the other sites as the authoritative source and trying to make local copies of everything in case those other sources disappear (yes I kept my bookmarks on magnolia, how did you know?).

The public vs private nature of this space is also a bit of a conundrum. My business contacts and potential employers *will* see this space first if they Google me. This is my first impression, what does it say about me if I’ve been listening to ABBA and bookmarking lol cats? (Yeah, okay, I could be worse.)

BCIT’s Marketing and Communications department came to us (Web Services) last year and said – we need to do this, and we need your help. So the two groups came together and What Would You Change? was born.

What Would You Change? is meant to be a place for discussion about change, any kind of change, that you would like to make. There’s a couple tools in place for discussion, recorded videos, short text messages, and a photo mashup generator that lets you paste a picture of what you’d change over the thing you want to change. We’re hoping to integrate with social media better as time goes on – there are plans for Twitter and Facebook app tie-ins and you can already share your creations virtually everywhere :)

I started by adding a window to my office:

What Would You Change?

I also wish I could share my feeds with different audiences in mind. Right now what I share is pretty bland because my clients, friends, and family all see it. I can’t export only fun shared items to my Facebook profile and only web related shared items to my blog everything I share goes everywhere.

I used to wish I could use the handy bookmarklets to page through my items and have a handy way to share but they solved that with the notes bookmarklet.

That said, I live in Reader these days, I check it as much as I do my email!
