What we have to say

“ Read how journalism works today in the “Internet Manifesto” ”

1. The Internet is different.

It produces different public spheres, different terms of trade and different cultural skills. The media must adapt their work methods to today’s technological reality instead of ignoring or challenging it.  It is their duty to develop the best possible form of journalism based on the available technology. This includes new journalistic products and methods.

2. The Internet is a pocket-sized media empire.

The web rearranges existing media structures (more…)

“ Passing The Holy Milestone: How To Meet Deadlines ”

For too many projects, there comes a time when every action taken, every decision and sacrifice made, is spurred on by pressure to finish. Tempers seem to shrink along with the available days, talk about “high standards” gives way to “good enough,” and people realize that deadlines are aptly named. During the last-minute crunch, someone may well wonder, how did it come to this? Could it have been prevented?Every Web project has deadlines. But not every designer or developer deals with them the same way. (more...)

“ Indexing and Searching PDFs with WordPress is now possible ”

Indexing PDFs is now possible for WordPress. Download the Index PDFs Plugin (zip zip, 7.55 kB) here (Sorry, I did not have the time to upload it to WordPress)

The function was a requirement for a project and as i did not find any plugin for it John Blackbourn was so nice to develop it.

“ How to Handle Information Overload ”

The Internet holds a wealth of information on virtually any topic one could think of. With a simple search, you can gain access to knowledge about almost any subject out there.In fact, you can often get so much information returned that it’s a little intimidating even knowing where to start. Information overload gets more and more common as ever-growing amounts of information go online.At its worst, information overload can be paralyzing. Too much information can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unable to make decisions. It can leave us more confused than if we’d never had the information to start with.The good news is that information overload can be dealt with. It doesn’t require disconnecting from the Internet or anything extreme, just some prioritization and organization on your part. Read on for a complete guide to dealing with information overload.

“ How to detect sophisticated spam or phishing mail ”

It does not happen often, but this time they got me. Maybe I am lucky to use a Mac, because who knows what evil script was placed on the target website.

The mail I got, which was not filed under spam, but caught by some of my mailfilters, sorting it into the facebook folder, looked like this: (more…)

“ Use Chrome like a pro ”

This week I sent a note to Googlers about some of the Chrome team's favorite extensions. So many of them asked if they could share the list with people outside the company that I thought I would just do it for them. Here it is. We're proud of the Chrome browser and the great extensions that its developer community has created, and we hope you enjoy them! They can all be found at chrome.google.com/extensions. (more...)

“ HTML5 features now in Safari too ”

Posted by Michael Davidson, Software EngineerWe've been posting a bunch recently about new Gmail features built on top of HTML5 and other advancements in browser platforms, but so far you've only be able to drag in attachments and drag images into messages in Chrome and Firefox, and the ability to have new windows outlive your original Gmail window was limited to Chrome. Now, all three of these features work in the newest version of Safari (Safari 5) too.

“ Rich text signatures ”

Posted by Mark Knichel, Software EngineerRich text signatures have long been one of our most widely requested features. Some of you have tried your own solutions, including Greasemonkey scripts, browser plugins, and even using canned responses from Gmail Labs. Others have simply lived with frustration of not being able to change the colors or font size of your signature, or insert images and links. Either way, you'll be happy to know that today we're launching the ability to write your own rich text signatures right in Gmail. (more...)

“ I just got a big compliment about www.bervie-guesthouse-achill.com ”

I finished the redesign of the Website of the Bervie Guesthouse last December. I have since  gotten a lot of indirect positive feedback through the owners of the Bervie.

I now made contact through facebook to the photographer John Cowman, who has known the Bervie for quite a while and contributed the main photo gallery to the old and also new website

John gave me the nicest feedback about the Bervie website, I ever got about any website:

“Love it. A work of art, which really captures the special nature of the place. You must have stayed there, or you’re fantastic at taking a brief, or both. Simple, very refined, concise, beautifully styled and extremely attractive. It’s possibly the best site of it’s type I’ve seen. Nice coding, too. [...] I wouldn’t mind seeing any other sites you’re proud of.”
