I Love Responsive Design
I should probably be a little more specific. I love writing the CSS that produces a responsive website. I've been reading up on responsive design since it's inception and then popularity. And why wouldn't it be popular? A massive percentage of browsing these days is done on the ever faster and better mobiles. Responsive design takes the middle-ground between a website built for the desktop, and an app built for the phone. It covers both with beauty and simplicity!Of course, when I say simplicity...

Royal Slider - A Beautiful, Modern Example
Today I stumbled upon something magical. I've recently started really getting into responsive designs and media CSS rules and how much power they can bring to a website that is likely to run on a mobile device. Technologies have changed a lot and what's available to us, web developers, is nothing short of a miracle compared to a couple of years ago. However, a lot of the tools and funky plugins available out there for such libraries as jQuery are still falling behind in a lot of ways compared...

New Version of Google Calendar Watcher
Whether you know it or not, I am a Firefox Extension Developer and have about 7 or so extensions that I've written for Firefox over the last couple of years. Some are functional, such as the Google Calendar Watcher extension, or the Codesnipp.it extension (for users of http://codesnipp.it). And others were created as a little bit of fun, such as the Profanity extension, which puts random swear words on any web page throughout any text! My most popular extension by far is the Google Calendar W...

Updates
It's been a while since anything has happend on DeVSeO recently due to other commitments, work, running, the gym and guitar! However, I've finally managed to put some time into the site today and here's what has happened! Firstly, I know that a couple of the tools haven't been working for a while and, among other things, this was due to the server migration from a shared host to my shiny new VM (thank you http://gandi.net!). This should hopefully mean that the site runs a little faster and ha...

Get The Distance Between Two Addresses
Find The Distance Between Two Addresses After having a lot of fun working on the "Find Your Nearest ATM" script I decided to have a go at something similar, but a little bit different. Some Background This is actually going to be part of a project I'm currently working on in my job at Worldview Limited. I have recently been writing a "Proposal Generator", which uses a lovely JavaScript "Web App" interface to add options and text to generate a PDF "proposal" for our corporate clients. Part...

Thoughts About Google+
It's everywhere at the moment. Everyone is talking about it. Not so many have managed to use it yet. I am one of the fortunate ones that has had a few days to use it and learn about it and see what it can really do. So, here's what I think about Google's new social media project Google . The first thing I noticed about it is that it is very shiny! We knew something was coming when colour scheme of a lot of the Google products changed late last week and it would seem that Google is one of the...

Find Your Nearest ATM
Find Your Nearest ATM I have been working on a few scripts recently a little different to the normal ones you might find on DeVSeO. Partly this is because I have now discovered how awesome jQuery can be, and how easy it is to learn and use. Because of this I have undertaken a few personal "mini-projects" with the help of jQuery and a little bit of HTML5 thrown in for good measure. The first of these is my new "ATM Finder", which uses Google Maps to plot ATMs on a map for you based on one of...

Blurry Text & Simple Snapshots With HTML & CSS3
I was reading the latest post on Ajaxian and found Marcin Wichary (the creator of the Google Pacman Logo) to be an absolute genius with some very interesting ideas. Thought I'd try out a couple of them here, so to start with here's some blurry text: Blurry Title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed dapibus arcu sit amet erat feugiat accumsan. Morbi rutrum dui a lacus sollicitudin in accumsan quam vestibulum. In hac habitasse platea dictumst. Donec sed sapien mi, ut bl...

HTML5 Search Inputs - Tips and Tricks
HTML5 has some great new tags and attributes allowing you to do some neat stuff without having to resort to HTML/JavaScript/CSS hacks. Today I learnt a little about the HTML5 'search' tag, which is actually a normal input with the type set to 'search' (rather than text/hidden/submit etc). It is basically meant as a quick way to create a search input for your site and webkit-based browsers have added a little support for the new type, which you can see if you have Chrome 5 or the latest Safari....

The Decline Of Internet Explorer 6?
Recently I've been looking at some new sites made by various designers and developers and I've begun to notice a trend. The obvious use of CSS3 and HTML5 has risen dramatically since the beginning of the year. This makes me wonder, is it because people have finally stopped caring so much about IE6 looking visually identical as all the other browsers? I'd certainly like to think so! One recent incident regarding this comes from the sites I've been working on at work. I've been m...
