- Freelance Developers – £15 an hour
Really? In England? Somebody would only charge £15/an hour for development? Well, that’s what the ad said… Whilst browsing YouTube recently a number of MPUs have been displayed on the right hand side of the YouTube site: One that keeps cropping up is from a business that has recently stepped up a gear in promoting itself over [...] - Problematic Changes
As I designer I’m all for changing websites; maybe the design got a bit stuffy, maybe there’s a new layout you’d like to try, maybe you’ve got a better idea than before, or even your focus has changed. Change is good. But yesterday I noticed some websites that once had very important links to my [...] - Find & Replace line breaks in MS Word
As a designer I’m quite often working on text files here & there and sometimes cutting & pasting data from various sources into MS Word means that the formatting is all wrong (tip: paste into notepad first to strip formatting then paste that output into Word) or there’s no formatting at all. For instance – [...] - Oceanwide Properties

In the early days, back in ’98, I found IE4 to be a better browser than NS Navigator. Personally I found the NSN buttons and tool bars to bloated and gimmicky and the cleaner lines of IE4 allowed just that little bit more screen to show. But here, 9 years later, I have found that [...] - FireFox Dev Toolbar
I’ve been using Chris Pederick’s FireFox Developer’s Toolbar for a couple of years now and there are so many times when it has come in extremely handy. It basically runs through the browser window and can be used to disable images, get their dimensions & paths, edit live CSS, outline tables & cells, show hidden [...]
