  A Perch Textmate bundle

  Posted on : Monday, 13 July, 2009

  I thought I would host this up for anyone who is using Perch and Textmate, its not much but it could save someone else the arduous task of making it themselves.

  You can download it from here (probably right click ’save as’).

  The bundle doesn’t do much more than speed up your workflow on Perch sites, its usage is pretty easy:

  • perchc+tab = perch_content('Content');
  • percht+tab = inserts type:text
  • perchta+tab = inserts type:textarea
  • perchd+tab = inserts type:date
  • perchi+tab = inserts type:image
  • perchf+tab = inserts type:file

  Keep it simple stupid.

  Beautiful site-maps from an unordered list

  Posted on : Thursday, 9 July, 2009

  

  So, everyday it usually takes me close to an hour to wade through my RSS feeds and to be honest it can seem a bit of a chore. But today I remembered why I did it; There are some bloody clever people out there just waiting to share beautiful ideas with anyone who will listen.

  Matt Everson of Astuteo is one of these people. He has created a CSS file (and accompanying images) that style a unordered list into a great looking, easy to use and easy to maintain sitemap. I just ran it through its paces and it seems fairy bug free (though will take some knocking into shape for IE6) and I can’t wait to use it.

  Thanks Matt!

  Draplin’s modern day fable

  Posted on : Tuesday, 30 June, 2009

  I know I’m a month or two behind on this one but I only just got the chance to watch it. It’s a great story not only for design but for any job/task we undertake.

  Draplin tells how we all must ensure everything we create is the best we can possibly can — be it a sign, tax report or a building — as we are shaping our worlds future landscape.

  Seth Godin’s “guy #3″ – inspiring

  Posted on : Thursday, 18 June, 2009

  Over at Seth Godin’s site he has written an insightful post called “Guy #3″ . It’s a celebration, of sorts, of those who see potential and make things happen — those that are often over-shadowed by guy #1 and #2

  It’s not my intention to link to other peoples posts on this blog however I really wanted to share this one.

  iPhone targeted CSS – An answer to the :hover issue?

  Posted on : Thursday, 18 June, 2009

  I have been worried for some time about how iPhones and other handheld devices can’t use the :hover functions I seem to rely on heavily for idicating links and giving extra information.

  The answer could be over at http://squaregirl.com with just a few lines of CSS:

  @media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { 
    body {color:#000;}
  }

  As soon as I have a bit of time I am going to rectify this sites crappy handheld usability.

  Great work!!!
