FUCK YOU BRIAN

THIS IS GOLD.

Your apology doesn’t count if it starts with any of the following:

Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:38:37 -0600

I’m sorry you were offended
I’m sorry you think that
I’m sorry it upsets you
I’m sorry you misinterpreted
I’m sorry, but you
I’m sorry, but if you had
I’m sorry. *continues to do the thing they apologized for*
*sarcastically* Well, sooOOOoOOOoooorry.

if your apology involves calling the person you’re talking to the problem, it isn’t an apology at all.

Mainly, apologize for YOUR actions and words, not for how the person feels.

Must-Know URL Hash Techniques for AJAX Applications « mgm technology blog

Must-Know URL Hash Techniques for AJAX Applications « mgm technology blog:

By coding the page state into the URL, even single-page web applications can support deep bookmarks and the browser’s back button. The most accepted approach is to utilize the location hash, i.e. the local part of the URL. This article explains this technique and what pitfalls you should be aware of, based on my team’s experience from building an AJAX interface for Solr. You will also learn about the HTML5 History API, which is a second, more modern technique.

Modern web applications often load data via AJAX without leaving the original page; some sites even have only one single page left. The idea behind that was pioneered by Outlook Webclient and, more prominently for Web users, Google Mail in order to create a desktop-like experience. Other benefits include less bandwidth used by the client, faster response time and eventually a more interactive application feeling.

After the first enthusiasm about all these new applications, users found the first serious drawbacks hitting them hard. The beloved back button was not working anymore, bookmarks always led to the first and not the current page and links could not be forwarded.

All these problems have been known for a long time. New techniques now offer very elegant solutions for this problem and I will discuss them in this article.

Dropdown Default Styling

Dropdown Default Styling:

There has always been big differences across how different browsers handle form styling. There probably always will be - because UI design choices aren’t described in the specs. Browser makers perhaps view this as one of the ways they can differentiate the user experience a bit. Select (dropdown) menus are one that is particularly weird.
