News.co.za goes live

News.co.za serves up the latest news from selected sources across the web.

It’s something Brian and I have been working on for quite a while now (I added it to my portfolio a year ago, in fact), and it went live … view full post

Of late…

By now you’re hopefully aware of the G8 REBOOT initiative.

To be honest, I was a little sceptical when fellow saffer Gareth e-mailed me with his ideas for the reboot, given the time … view full post

Postcards from Paris

Postcards from Paris

In 10 short days I’ll be home in iKapa again, for an involuntary month’s holiday; my yearly return flight was booked for this time. I’ll be working on and off while I’m home though, inbetween soaking up some afrikan sun, Savannas and the best company … view full post

Back in time

Sooo. Rewind the web to 7 years ago, when 640×480 screen resolutions were the most popular, Netscape 3.0 was the browser of choice, a proper domain name was second priority, and broadband was a dream. When educating potential clients on what the acronym WWW stands for, and asking them to report broken links on your site, were more important … view full post

coda.coza RSS feed

A few new additions and updates to this site.

The calendar on my blog pages now works. On days where there are multiple posts, the link will be to an archived page that lists those posts. The current day is highlighted. And you can’t jump back in months (yet). The reason for holding off on that, is the way I’ve … view full post

Rebranded. Redesigned. Redeveloped.

It’s taken over a month, but it’s felt like a year – presenting the fifth redesign of coda.coza in as many years.

Before you click anywhere, pick apart my code or run it through any validators, you should know that this is something of a beta version. I’ve done almost no cross-browser testing (I’m aware of some behavioural glitches & twitches) … view full post

The Standards Police will get you!

Oh the irony – it appears that the Standards Police have caught up with me. Three words for you, Charl: validation isn’t everything. Considering three of my websites were involved in your local standard-compliancy study (this one, the V&A Waterfront and the Cape Town BIG 6), I feel I should say … view full post

A new Firefox theme

I started a new Firefox theme this weekend. It remains to be seen how far I’ll get. The Firefox project is approaching a milestone 1.0 release and it would be nice to have it done by then. In the meantime, check out … view full post
