Genius idea – a whole set of unusual but useful characters to copy and paste.

Tweaks, tweaks, tweaks

by Dave Foy on October 26, 2008

I started this blog (back in early 2007) with no great plan and a completely unstyled HTML page.

It’s developed gradually since then and since garnered a nice healthy readership (well, according to my Mint and Feedburner stats in any case).

I often make a little tweak here and there occasionally but I’ve decided to roll my sleeves up today and make a bit more of a noticeable improvement. Not that you’ll probably notice, mind, and that’s grand by me!

Just some subtle design changes (hopefully enhancing readability); creation of 3 separate types of posts (regular blog post, links and quotes); consolidation of all the RSS feeds into one nice, neat, tidy one; and a bit of a change to how the Flickr feed is called in.

All good stuff. I like it anyway.

Thanks for subscribing and reading.

Out with the old…

by Dave Foy on October 18, 2008

It’s no secret that at Definition (the small web design agency I run) we work either remotely or from a small office based at my home and it suits us very, very well indeed.

While it’s undeniably a well-equipped, dedicated space, I’d been feeling for a while that it was getting a bit tired and could do with at least a touch of sprucing. read more »

Be careful what you wish for…

We were only saying the other day – wouldn’t it be great to have a Stylophone on the iPhone…

Most excellent.

Welcome to Joe Town

by Dave Foy on October 8, 2008

The year was 1994 and a Hull graffiti legend was born. If you ever came into Hull Paragon Station on the train anytime between 1994 and 2002 you’d have seen the immortal words – Lithium Joe – Welcome to Joe Town writ proud and large on the side of a Victorian house at the end of a terrace on Park St. read more »

VisualHub discontinued!

by Dave Foy on October 6, 2008

I can’t believe the news that VisualHub has been discontinued! I only found out today whilst cracking the app open to convert some movie footage sent by a client, via the ’software update’ mechanism.

I absolutely love VisualHub – it works beautifully, and is a key part of my work toolset, especially as more and more clients are demanding video on their websites. I can have most movie formats in FLV format in no time.

Whatever the reasons, I just want to say thanks VisualHub – all the best to the developers in future ventures.
