I had a browser based problem with Firefox yesterday where my animation wasn’t running smoothly, even the latest version, but it was running fine in Chrome and Safari. I searched online for a bit but didn’t find a solution. I was, at the same time, trying to remove the dotted line that’s displayed when clicking [...]

Web Developers vs Programmers
I recently had a discussion on Twitter with someone who I had respect for in the web community. He was arguing about the term UX developer having a negative effect on his part of the industry. I argued that the term developer is pretty generic, it simply implies that someone is developing something. I then [...]

Class and Object definitions in JavaScript
A developer friend of mine emailed me with a question about Classes in Javascript: Don’t suppose you have any literature or anything I can look at in regards to the correct structure for a javascript class (in node.js)? I have looked all over the shop and found various different ways of doing it but am having [...]

A simple jQuery Plugin to automagically create anchors from recognised HTTP links and convert hash tags into links on Twitter
Linkify (and Hashify) A simple jQuery Plugin to automagically create anchors from recognised HTTP links and convert hash tags into links to Twitter. Get the code on github. I created linkify after using the @anywhere Twitter library and found that it didn’t automatically link urls in tweets or hash tags.

Interesting content, it makes work less ‘work like’!
www.grundini.com I just finished working on the first release of this website (above) for Peter Grundy, with Further Creative http://www.furthercreative.co.uk. After discussing with the user experience expert and designer, I faced the usual development decisions. I chose some solutions which use technology that I’d not employed in anger on many projects before. With Peter’s content [...]

Creating ShareThis buttons with custom images in Javascript
This should have been easy! I wanted to add some ShareThis buttons on a page in an single page web application and update the link to be shared every time the hash was changed. The shareThis functionality didn’t really allow this ‘out of the box’ and it took me a while to work out the [...]

My Twitter Flickr Mashup
I attended full frontal last week, which was excellent. It gave me inspiration to experiment a bit with some Javascript.
I went about setting myself a very loose brief; I wanted to do something quick, in no more than seven hours, I didn’t want to have to write any server side code and wanted the code to reside on a single page.
I went about looking into the Twitter and Flickr APIs and decided to combine them by doing a photo search on flickr using tweets from the Twitter public timeline every 60 seconds.
What I came up with ended up as a kind of visual social commentary using Twitter and flickr.

Javascript League Tables
Having seen a lot of league tables on various websites I was suprised to not see the implementations use the UI more effectively. Most of the implementations required the user to click on seperate links to view the current table, results or fixtures. I was interested to see if I could provide an easier way [...]

ExtJs stores and baseParams
I have found myself using ExtJS on both of the last two contracts I have worked on. I have found that the API documentation, however well organised, doesn’t suit me. Finding examples that are specifically what you need can be a difficult task as they tend not to exist in the documentation itself but are [...]
