I was hopping around the net yesterday reading articles from my usual spots when I can across this interesting little piece posted at graphics.net. It is an interesting read as it breaks down how things used to be and how things are today in the wide world of web development. I think the title is fantastic, and should make you interested to read the article.
I know that some of the items he speaks about apply to me, while others don’t as much simply because I am a one man shop who occasionally brings on another fellow from time to time to help me deal with the larger projects. Whether this applies to you or not, this really is a great article. Check it out…
So what is really so great about Songza? Let me tell you…
I seem to find myself on this site checking out all sorts of different artists. I guess you should probably be doing the same, as this might be one my favorite sites to hit the net in a very long while. This is up there with hulu.com in my book. Here is one great little gem I found on there recently. It is one my favorite songs of the moment, so you can take a second to check it out or just head over to songza.com yourself and find your own musical treasures.
Did I mention that you can embed songs into your site? Cool, eh?
So here is my new little gem that I have been using as of late. With a pretty crazy development schedule over the next couple of months, I have been looking for a very simple solution to keep things running locally. There are several ways to go about keeping a server live, but this is by far the most simple solution.
Download the rather beefy download (130 MB) and just drag it into your Applications folder, and you are ready to roll. And yes, this is a Mac only treat. If you are not in the club, I am sorry, but you had a choice…and you bought a PC.
Whether you are wanting to develop web projects locally, or maybe just run a Wordpress install on your computer for journalling purposes, this is a great free tool to check out.
I was just tootin’ around the net today and I ran across this great article in BusinessWeek online. It is so refreshing to have some major publication say the same things that I have been a huge advocate of for a long time. The article is entitled, “The 10 Commandments of Web Design”. Without a doubt my favorite on the list is numero uno.
1. Thou shalt not abuse Flash.
Amen. Preach it BusinessWeek.
Now you need to go read the rest of the article here.
I just finished adding a link in my work page to the new website for Opelika Daily News. I figured I would put up a free plug for Jerry to show off his new site. He seems to be pretty happy with it, so go check it out. It is a great community site for the city of Opelika, Alabama.
As an ex-resident of that area, I can say it is a fine place to live [or go to college], and this site is the best way online to experience all the things that Opelika has to offer.
