Stephanie Booth's online ramblings
The article “How I Learnt to Stop Worrying and Love the W3C” by Erika Meyer prompts me to go for a little trip down A List Apart memory lane, to point you to some of the first articles I read there.
Here is a little gem extracted from the ALA Back Issues:
Dr. Strangeglobe: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The W3C.
For those interested in my personal history, it was through one of Erika Meyer‘s sites (Mombomb) that I discovered Jeffrey Zeldman. In Defense of Web Diaries is the first ALA article I ever read (followed closely by The Day the Browser Died).
I know the article has been out for a while, but it’s worth reading through: To Hell With Bad Editors.
A well-felt article on the damage done to the web by (particularly) WYSIWYG editors. Read it even if you use a WYSIWYG editor and you’re convinced you’re doing the right thing.
Oh, and if you are so inclined, CodeBitch has written a few lines about the aptitude of human beings to learn HTML. Yes, I have what you need: HTML Express tutorial.
Happy coding!
Recommended reading for the day, at A List Apart: Forgiving Browsers Considered Harmful.
More on the topic maybe, if my head clears up some day. [concussion still]
Over at waferbaby: do you think paper and books will eventually disappear?.
If you have a cat (even if you don’t), you’ll probably appreciate this Mapping of a Cat’s Brain. Bagha fits the portrait perfectly.
I first saw this brain map in India. There is a similar one for the dog – but unfortunately I was unable to find it online. Side-by-side, they’re hilarious, trust me!
No endless talk on the war between the sexes this time. Just a little gem I pulled out of cannboys’ Trash the Web.
