Je vis à un rythme assez fou depuis quelques mois. Je suis sanscesse sous pression, pour ça je ne me plains pas trop, j'aime assez lagérer, elle me permet d'avancer dans le travail. Mais la fatigue, elleest plus dure à contenir, car si dans ma tête tout semble aller mieux,le physique ne tient plus vraiment. Et je n'aime pas cettefatigue, qui n'est pas celle qu'on ressent lorsqu'on sort de 90minutes, d'un match de foot, ou lorqu'on vient de parcourir 10 km encrachant ses poumons. Cette sensation je ne la connais plus et elle memanque. J'ai peur de cette fatigue quasi latente, car combinée autraditionnel spleen de fin d'année, pourrait me rendre moins...

If you've got holiday content that you want to promote for the November/December holiday season, I have some bad news. If you're starting now, you're way too late. According to...

I spend a fair amount of time doing quality assurance of websites. This includes reviewing code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), reporting accessibility and usability issues, giving tips and advice, and so on.In these reviews there are some things that keep coming up. A lot of them are pretty simple and basic things if you ask me. However, there are many people who make the same mistakes, so maybe those things aren't that simple after all. Or maybe the problem is that they aren't widely known.In the hope that it will help some people out I am going to start a new category of posts here called "Quick Tips". Each Quick Tip will focus on one of the issues that I come across while doing QA work, and ...

Sometimes readers mail me with the question on what’s the best approach to trace logos or illustrations. They ask if I do it with the Pen tool. Yes, I do, but I have been using this tool for more than 15 years. So it’s safe to say I’m very routined. Still, there are certain situations that I wish there was a tool that could do the job for me. Let’s say on a occasion that you don’t have the time or budget to charge the time needed to redraw company logos that are delivered in jpeg or gif format. The Live Trace option in Illustrator isn’t bad, but it doesn’t give me the expected result on most try-outs (too many nodes or noisy result, path imperfect...

The iPhone as a highly-usable phone for the blind? Incredible. Too bad it's only a concept for now.

Pretty much confirms what I've long suspected; there are reasons to choose on spelling over the others.

It has become very popular to use the Google Maps API to add maps to websites. While the maps work fine for most users, unfortunately Google Maps does not by default work without JavaScript - when there is no JavaScript support, you don't get a map.Fortunately it is quite easy (but not very common) to provide a fallback for users who do not have JavaScript enabled in their browser by using the Google Static Maps API.The Google Static Maps API lets you embed a map as a plain image in various formats. The developers guide explains the many options you have when it comes to configuring the static maps.So next time you use the Google Maps API to put a map on a website, take a couple of minute...

Okay, it's not that he hates the people, but rather the term "freelancer". Sitepoint asks Should You Retire the Word “Freelancer?” and Arron at Organized Chaos agrees. He argues that...

VideoSwiper Plus is now online, it is a set of premium services for the original VideoSwiper. This site adds a few important required services to videoswiper making it even better.Last 5 - 6 weeks been working on it and learned a lot. As this deals with Video’s on a web , not only checked out a lot of Video Scripts but also had to do encoding , thumb nailing etc of videos. Also found out that most Video Scripts out there are badly coded and have bad databases ( No one ever heard of normalization ?? ) . It is based on BaseApp and build on it was fun.Anyhow it was a nice experience , So if you run a Video Site do check it out.

Plutôt que créer des images ou d’utiliser Flash pour afficher du texte dans la police de caractère de votre choix, vous pouvez utiliser typeface.js et écrire vos titres en HTML et CSS comme si vos visiteurs avait installé votre fonte préférée.Le script utilise les capacités vectorielles des navigateurs pour dessiner les textes : les navigateurs comme Firefox, Safari et Opera utilisent la balise canvas (et SVG par la même occasion) tandis que IE utilise Vector Markup Language (VML).Le projet typeface.js est composé d’un module Perl pour extraire la forme vectorielle des fontes Truetype au format JSON. La partie en Javascript parcoure le document à la recherche de <canvas>...
