What I'll Be Ranting About

Good development practices bring us quality code, confident systems, and missed launch windows. When do you refactor and when do you factor in the passing time? As engineers we need to design what is possible and capable. As programmers we need to turn imagination into reality without a physical product. As developers we need to bridge the gab between that engineered vision and the end product.

I also blog more personally over at my tumblr page.

I am available for small contracts, consultations, tutoring, and other development services. My "skills" as a technical writer are also available. If you've got anything you'd like to talk to me about or for me to see, drop me a line.

A little trick for wide pages

We have wide monitors and our reading doesn't tend to like wide text very well. This is why newspapers have lots of narrow columns, rather than stretch each story across the entire width of the paper.


Not all websites follow this tip, so drag this to your bookmark toolbar and squeeze the margin in 100px at a time, until you can read more naturally.




Yes, I could resize my window, but the same width isn't right for all pages, and most are padded or have sidebars. This is good when you only need some of the pages you have open to be narrower than the rest.
