Does your job require you to make “the internets”? Do you often find yourself working on things “online”? I do. And if I got a new computer, here are some programs that I would want to install right away, so that I could continue to do the do. Let me know if I missed anything? READ MORE
The world of mobile apps is constantly evolving and rapidly growing at a spectacular rate. More and more we are spending time with apps as they become more useful and purposeful for our individual needs. Apps tend to satisfy three main driving points to fulfill what the end user is seeking to accomplish; fun & entertainment, convenience, and learning. I asked some of the iPhone users around the office what their three favorite apps are, although some got excited and sent me quite a bit more. But hey, that’s the reaction we’re looking for when we want some solid recommendations. Check out the responses after the jump.
Ladies n gents, your Baltimore world champions. Not so excited by that or by all the commercials? Maybe you or someone you know and love live in San Francisco? Luckily there is a site just for you, at least for the next couple hours til things wind down a bit… http://isthemissiononfire.com/ Keep checking, I guess?
I don’t think it is any secret that we here at Ninthlink enjoy beer, from time to time at least. And it certainly won’t be any secret in another week or two. Why? Well I guess that is still a secret. But what should be no secret, is that Stone Brewing Co. is releasing another batch of their “devastatingly fresh” “Enjoy By” IPA! Bottling today, with an Estimated Arrival Date of Monday around the nation. READ MORE
Yesterday was the first time I had ever experienced an earthquake while sitting in a movie theater (at least from what I can remember), and today was the first time I learned about Google’s Crisis Response Crisis Map. Coincidence? Whether you want to track Earthquakes around the globe, watch out for Tropical Storm / future Hurricane Isaac, or any of the other items tracked by the GDACS – Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System – that is the place. Someone should use the map & icons to simulate what it would have looked like throughout the course of John Cusask’s 2012…
Great advice, and even greater resources for peoples interested in learning more about the mystical magic that is HTML and CSS. “Through short tutorial videos, you’ll learn how to take a basic wordpress blog and manipulate the css, html (and even some php!) to match your aesthetic.” In super clean design and super straight forward tutorial videos. What more could you ask for? Well done, Jessica Hische and Russ Maschmeyer. Don’t Fear the Internet.
I know what you are thinking – W3 Total Cache is awesome – why would you want to NOT cache your WordPress site’s pages for Mobile users? The answer is, when you have a separate mobile-optimized version of the site all ready for them to view, but due to aggressive page caching, the redirects are not happening. READ MORE
See, even the giant sites out there have trouble sometimes. I guess thats why JavaScript / HTML best practices are for loading scripts at the very bottom of the page, right before the tag, so that in case one of your scripts is a call out to Twitter to load some latest tweets, everything else can play nice even if that one just tries to load and load and load… Happy Thursday?
Looks like Twitter is steering away from it’s old icons and forcing us good web dev teams to make changes to all sites that use the old Twitter icon. They give us the bird with new guidelines that they outline here.
They DON’T Allow the birds referenced above :
Talking birds, dying birds, a family of birds, really blue birds, birds on the ground, cartoon birds or birds with hair, SO BE CAREFUL HOW YOU GIVE THE BIRD! READ MORE
