I made a sync tool to copy back the blogspot to the original… better than their migration http://tinyurl.com/yj26okr

As a way to connect with other like-minded people, then getting a comment or a link is a sure sign of success. You know you’re doing something right.

I love being mentioned elsewhere – like right now, quite a few people have been retweeting links to my blog. That feels good, mostly because I use my blog as an attempt to connect to people.

I particularly love it when the person I’m writing about responds – I’ve had quite a few e-mail from writers, illustrators and designers saying they appreciate what I wrote. I treasure that.

Maybe its all about ego – I dont know.

Comment on Backchannel thoughts by vdebolt

Elaine, I think she suggested Facebook Connect because it was being used for the backchannel chat setup on Boagworld. But we do need a collective decision on this type of unprofessional behavior. I hope one that will create a tipping point in terms of social pressure on the offenders to straighten up their public remarks.

Maybe not Facebook Connect, but definitely some sort of real-name connection would be useful.

But my usual take is that social problems need social solutions, which aren’t always technological. Some people, even with a real-life identity attached, either don’t realize or don’t care that they’re being jerks.

I would think it’d be helpful to have a couple of moderators to be part of the conversation and either remind people to behave or simply kick off the offenders.

Comment on Style a fieldset with rounded corners using CSS by vdebolt

vdebolt — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 21:44:11 +0000

Thanks for the great tip, Lars. To bring what Lars is saying down to the level of the cascade, the rules should be ordered thus:
fieldset {
-webkit-border-radius: 8px;
-moz-border-radius: 8px;
border-radius: 8px;
}
which makes the W3C rule for CSS3 fall last in the cascade.

This is one of the things students always ask for, so keep sharing the knowledge.

I will give one additional tip. Put experimental features first and the standard rule last. Firefox current implementation differs from the W3C spec. When they get the real thing out, you do not want to have that overridden.

I have written about that at
