In an unexpected visit to the 21st Century, Jakob Nielsen hails such AJAXy finesses as tabs, and how they should be used The Right Way.
And in a related, but wholly unsurprising posting, LukeW discusses the tabs as how they evolved on Amazon. There’s the horrifying example of fifteen tabs in two rows and the [...]

A picture of mine has ended up on the Schmaps page for Kluuvi. The Schmapps folks were nice enough to actually ask for permission before using the CC-licensed picture of mine to what they call a non-commercial operation (which of course it isn’t but the users aren’t paying anything so they say [...]

MS Hot Live mail now offers 5 GB of free mail space. Google GMail offers 2.9 GB of mail space. Yahoo! has no caps and offers an unlimited mail storage.
I don’t want to sound like “640 kB should be enough memory for anyone” or “I believe there is a world market for about five computers” [...]

Hups.  Noin tunti sitten julkaistiin Suomen ylioppilastutkinnon saaneet julkaistiin Ylioppilastutkinto-webisivulla.  Noin pari minuttia sitten, siellä ei ollutkaan muita kuin Internal Server Error 500. Välillä siellä sentään puuttui vain lääniä kuvaava taulukko…
Se että sivun nimihakukenttiin pystyi injisoimaan raakaa SQL-dataa saattaa jotenkin liittyä asiaan.
Sivun tekijöitä (eli mainostoimisto Morning Digital Design) ei tavoitettu kommenttia varten ainakaan vikailmoitus-osoitteessa serveradmin [...]

Today is 404-day (regardless if you’re living in April-4th or 4th-of-April world). For that, we take an excursion to the 404 Research Labs.
Seen any great/usable/nifty/inventive/perfect 404 pages lately?

Scott Hanselman describes the “synch software” in the following, illustrative terms:
Here’s the saddest part. The Desktop Connect Reader software is so profoundly bad, so poorly designed, so truly evil that there are not word to full express the breadth and depths of its unspeakable lameness.
It’s almost like Fish at work…
The sad part though is that [...]

Michael Wesch (asst. prof. of cultural anthropology, KSU) explains what Web 2.0 means in a video of about four and a half minutes. Definitely worth your while.
The first three minutes should be of no surprise to the web.adepts: the web is teaching the machine about the meaning of our countent. But the last bit awakens a [...]

I’m a bit behind posts but let’s not make that a problem. A week or two ago, a new computer entered the family: a Slug, or properly, a LInksys NSLU2 NAS adapter thingy.
The Slug is basically an adapter between one or two USB hard (or flash) drives and a wired Ethernet. Or so it [...]

Fish will perform live in Portugal and on the web in about 48 hours from now.
Showtime is at approximately/probably/possibly/maybe at 21h GMT, but i suggest you check the link above in good time. The webcast will be in Microsoft WindowsMedia format, so majority OS only, i’m afraid. Or a good codec. Anybody streamripping? [...]

Disclaimer: i’ve been living under a rock for the last few months so this is probably old news to you die hard web2.0 geeks out there.
Google has a protocol, and an API to follow, that allows the coding user to access certain data from Google sites. Since that was pretty vague, let me concretisize. Half [...]
