QOTD: James
From HTML’s readability, robustness, and intuitiveness: Indeed, I feel excited when I write, and proud when I have written, a HTML document. The process is relaxing. I can think about what I want to represent — lists, paragraphs, italicised text, and so on — and explicitly state what I want and where I want it....

Misc; Writing HTML onto Paper
This morning I’m listening to Scary Pockets. Covers of pop in a funky style. I enjoy much of it. It veers into what younger me would call “easy listening” which is a red flag. Music must be interesting. They manage to make it funky and fun and danceable. I started listening to Scary Pockets because...

Today is January 4th
I ended the day yesterday putting away Christmas decorations. Included in those are my two favorite ornaments. One by my friend Chris Greazel and one by my ex-spouse Leoh Blooms. Chris painted this ornament in 1989 and somehow survived every move I’ve made for 30+ years. That little yellow Corvette has had staying power! And...

phpStorm: URI is not registered (Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Schemas and DTDs)
So I was looking through ancient HTML files last night, as one does, and noted this peculiar error in phpStorm around the DTD of one of the files: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> phpStorm did not like this DOCTYPE. It reported to me: URI is not registered (Settings | Languages & Frameworks...

Image Maps like we did it in 1997!
Behold! Image Maps that are server-side! Absolutely ridiculous and enabled by Apache. Check it out.

joecrawford.com, 2012. With Bootstrap.
Yesterday I modified my site joecrawford.com. I purchased the domain in 1999 thinking that it would be important to have a more “professional” domain than “artlung.” I go back and forth about the utility of that. Back in 2011 sometime, I decided to remove most of the ways to contact me, and remove the self...

Sixty Out of Ninety-One
Sadly, they inserted a hidden link to some dumb dating site into the HTML they generate. Boo! … Quiz was fun though.

<birthday number=”5years”>XML</birthday>; Thoughts on HTML’s Popularity
From XML at Five from xml.com: Rick Jelliffe … criticized XHTML: “HTML thrived on being more forgiving of missing tags than even SGML allowed. Throwing that away makes HTML a lot less attractive. Which is true of markup in general, actually.” With which I wholeheartedly agree. HTML is supposedly the most common electronic document type...

Instant addition to the sidebar: ADVOGATO
Dang. Ever have a moment of realization like “Where have I been to have missed this?” While I’ve been nattering on about about xhtml vs. html; tables vs. CSS for layout; PostGRE or MySQL or Oracle or SQL Server; Advogato has been discussing things of real importance. Check a few recent entries: Trust Metrics (which...

Old Home Weekend
I’ve been thinking about my old job, Jamison/Gold Interactive (no link, they got bought by a big IT Company and crumpled up and blew away) a lot lately. They were a boutique web outfit in Los Angeles, and did excellent Web/Interactive Design. Some news on some of the participants in that place: Brett Walker, Designer,...
