Four months after the curtain went down on dConstruct 2008 , the final episode of the podcast of the conference has just been published. It’s the audio recording of my talk The System Of The World . I’m very happy indeed with how the talk turned out: dense and pretentious …but in a good way, I hope. It’s certainly my favourite from the presentations I have hitherto delivered. Feel free to: listen to the recording of The System Of The World , read the hypertext document The System Of The World or look through the slides on Slideshare … Read the rest here

So, with my scrapbooking system sorted, my thoughts now turn once more to my unsolved Media Centre thingy. To catch up: I’ve given up on the Mac Mini solution after it delivered nothing but a black screen for the umpteenth time. I’ve had various problems with it, all software related and fixable, but I was getting a bit fed up with the amount of administration it required. I spent more time in screen sharing keeping it ticking over than I did using the remote. EyeTV in particular threw up problems, from bizarre errors to app updates that caused it to crash at launch. … Read the rest here

There’s something warm and fuzzy about seeing The Rissington Podcast available via the iTunes store on iPhone and Touch. What’s more, the show isn’t dead either – we’ve had to re-record the last show 3 times before we got the sound quality right, but we now have an episode 18 in the bag, ready to edit. Give us another week and we should have a new show for you, answering questions from as far back as June! Gulp! John and I were also interviewed by BBC Radio 5 last week, for ‘Pods and Blogs’, which goes out at the ‘Radio Quiet’ time of 2:30am. You can hear the slightly cringey, result here . … Read the rest here

It was such a long time ago that I spoke at Geek in the Park on the subject of “Pixel Pushing”, and I’m finally getting around to posting the resources now! Tardy. If anyone still wants it, the talk is available in the following formats: Slides in PDF format (8.5mb). The audio of the talk is available on the official site A HTML Transcript by CastingWords (sponsored by Opera ;o) ). Reading back the original transcript was quite painful, as it highlighted how many times I say “so

A while back, I woke up one morning thinking, John Resig’s got some great CSS3 support in jQuery but it’s all forced into JS statements. I should ask him if he could set things up like Dean Edwards ‘ IE7 script so that the JS scans the author’s CSS, finds the advanced selectors, does any necessary backend juggling, and makes CSS3 selector support Transparently Just Work. And then he could put that back into jQuery. And then, after breakfast, I fired up my feed reader and saw Simon Willison ’s link to John Resig’s nascent Sizzle project. I swear to Ged this is how it happened. Personally, I can’t wait for Sizzle to be finished, because I’m absolutely going to use it and recommend its use far and wide. … Read the rest here
