Most excellent: my latest client project was featured in The Times

The latest site that I’ve been developing (see portfolio entry for more details) got a full page feature in The Times! I happen to think this is pretty cool.

Another useful colour tool

Another useful colour picking tool I use (in addition to Adobe’s Kuler) is http://0to255.com. It’s a shame it’s written in Flash, as the same effect could be achieved using just HTML, CSS and JS, but it’s worth checking out anyway:

Really useful for picking similar colours along a gradient, for drop-shadows etc

BrowserLab: Speedy cross browser testing

The latest tool in my arsenal is Adobe’s BrowserLab. I’m assuming they’re using VM technology to quickly screen capture a given URL in a range of different browser versions. Whilst not perfect (you can’t interact with the screenshots, making it hard to cross-browser test JavaScript with this tool), it can be useful for quickly testing a HTML/CSS build.

Latest browser set: no problems

IE7: looking good

IE6: clearly not working properly

My new office is lush!
