Rearranged the site a bit: new clutter at the bottom including an experimental "recently bookmarked blogs" feature, the return of the calendar module, some IE7 fixes, and a helpful notice for IE6 users suggesting they upgrade.

Simplified the layout so it works on laptop screens. Still broken in IE6, but mostly there. Now if you'll excuse me, I accidentally had Harry Potter delivered to my office and I have reading to do.

Speaking at @media 2007. Finally!

A CSS joke for gay web developers: `p.flag`. You either get it or you don't.

Minor update to seldo.net: absolute URLs mean pictures now show correctly, inline CSS is stripped so images behave. Added a Music category too. Still working on per-user features.

I've started calculating RGB hex codes in my head, branching into pastels and secondary colours without looking anything up. I'm worried about what useful knowledge got displaced to make room for the ability to count in base 16.

I'm a web developer and heavy OUTeverywhere user, and the new interface is a disaster. The old design was innovative, bandwidth-efficient, and information-rich. Sacrificing usability for standards compliance is missing the point entirely. The interface wasn't broken. Bring it back.

CSS can't apply multiple background images to a single element, forcing designers to litter their HTML with empty, semantically meaningless divs just to achieve visual effects. The CSS Zen Garden proves the point: nearly every layout there is fixed-width as a direct result of this limitation.

Planet Seldo finally has a design. Dom immediately broke it by posting 2000 giant photos, but the layout handles it gracefully. Think of it as a preview of where Seldo.Com is heading visually.

I get paid to do work I genuinely love. Life is good. Also, my old room is up for grabs and my new living situation is shaping up to be brilliant.

Working on a new Art Deco front page design. It's more refined than previous sketches, wastes less space, and shows comments inline. Still very baroque, with some fun rotating decorative elements I'm calling "bedknobs." Worried it looks too much like every other MovableType blog out there.
