Stephanie Booth's online ramblings
Pompage.net vous offre ce mois un nouvel article, qui vous invite à voir que l’indulgence des navigateurs peut être contre-productive. Elle n’encourage pas les designers web en herbe à construire des pages structurellement correctes.
Si vous l’avez raté, n’oubliez pas de lire l’article du mois passé: Techniques et astuces pratiques pour une mise en page CSS. Mettez-vous également l’eau à la bouche en regardant ce que nous vous préparons… Merci à toute l’équipe!
…il n’y a parfois même pas un poil.
Illusion d’optique: un carré clair de l’échiquer dans l’ombre est du même gris qu’un carré foncé hors de celle-ci. Flippant, non?

Here is a very interesting talk on controlling computers by speech using voice recognition software.
This is certainly the way I’ll be heading if my wrists don’t get better very soon (I’m seeing the doctor on Tuesday). By the way, this accounts for part of my silence — he other part is to blame on my exams (yes, the first one went well, thank you!)
A happy episode of the Hard Disk Saga (for once) is one of these fun tech support stories you find on geek websites. Enjoy.

Totalement crétin: piquant (même pas mal) et savoureux. A surveiller.
Have you seen the movie Signs? Do, it’s a good one. A bit more scary than expected, though.
Actually, I’m not here to tell you about the movie, but to throw you some tidbits on crop circles. Crop circles are strange geometrical designs which appear overnight in fields.
Various theories try to explain their origin. As far as I’m concerned, Occam’s Razor rules in this case, and I vote for a perfectly human (albeit maybe somewhat mischievious) origin.
The Scientific American has published a very interesting article in which a crop circle maker tells us how he goes about the job.
For more insight from the makers, visit circlemakers – a comprehensive website devoted to the art and craft of crop circle making. Visit the beautiful photo gallery. Read Trickster, a long but interesting article on the history of crop circles and an analysis of the various beliefs surrounding them. I recommend printing it out.
[Thanks to Martine for pointing out the Scientific American article some time back.]
Enfin, le moment tant attendu! Pompage.net vous offre une nouvelle traduction toute fraîche, qui vous éclairera concrètement sur les merveilles du CSS. Dégustez, et parlez-en à l’envi autour de vous!
Pompage.net: Techniques et astuces pratiques pour une mise en page CSS.
New links and organisation in the blogroll (on your right, if you have a css-compatible browser).
In particular, please check out and publicize Mithun’s weblog: he’s just arrived in the States from Pune, and having a public will encourage him to record his first impressions of the western world for posterity.
My Web site is standard! And yours? – an article every webmaster should read.
A collegue at work gave me User Interface Design For Programmers to read. It’s written by the guy who does CityDesk, if ever you cared. It’s really worth reading – but this is not the point of this post.
Read the first chapter, even if you’re not into software or programming or anything technical. Joel tells us about his first job, about learned helplessness
and how Controlling Your Environment Makes You Happy.
I decided to control at least some little part of my environment right then and do the washing up. It made me feel much better.
