Build a Bridge and get over it

Sat, 10 May 2008 04:39:00 GMT

I like to think that I’m the type of Photoshop user that Rands talks about here. I’d v a layer with the Apple + arrow keys before I’d lay a finger on the mouse. Apple + plus in a…

Targeting Safari 3

Fri, 09 May 2008 22:00:00 GMT

Good to know when you’re dealing with progressive enhancements that require you to override a property that other browsers understand. (eg. I’m using a 2px -webkit-border-image in the re-align which replaces a combined border/padding of 2px so I needed to turn off the padding.) #

Grin and bare it

Fri, 09 May 2008 17:14:00 GMT

In an unexpected turn of events, I decided to strip ShaunInman.com of its colors this morning. Time to clear your cache. The previous version can be found here (and is for the first time pulling from the same database as the current version). #

Image to Data Droplet for OS X

Thu, 08 May 2008 20:05:00 GMT

While I’ll probably be using this TexMate bundle for my base64 image encoding needs, Jon reminded me that not everyone uses TextMate. So I’ve decided to share the AppleScript droplet that…

Convert Images to Base64 TextMate bundle

Thu, 08 May 2008 15:15:00 GMT

The page is in Catalan but the bundle is in English and pretty self-explanatory. Just drop the .tmCommand bundle file on TextMate. Then you can select some CSS or HTML that contains references to external images, hit Apple + control + B and they will be encoded as base64 and embedded with the data: protocol. Killer. Completely eliminates the need for that AppleScript droplet I was about to release. #

Bird’s Nest

Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:33:00 GMT

Last night after dinner I opened Garage Band and picked up the guitar. I haven’t written or recorded a complete song in quite a while; I wanted to compose but was without direction. Lack of…

Book Burning

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 17:03:00 GMT

A newish book “Colorful Illustrations 93°C” is an unauthorized reproduction of the Little Chimp Society illustration community. Website creator Darren Di Lieto is reasonably upset and reaching out the community to help put a stop to the book’s distribution. #
