Lovely Design Quote
Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 31st, 2005 7:17 am
This morning I was browsing the new Drupal fueled look to evolt, a web developer site I’ve been tapping into for so long I cannot remember, and started reading Isaac Forman’s Usable Forms (for an international audience). It’s a good review of some of the pitfalls in web forms when we are not thinking enough [...]

Previously I described my usual reluctance to be first out of the gate to do an operating system update, so until this afternoon I was still running Jaguar / Mac OSX 10.3. To be honest and repetitive, an operating system is really not something I like to focus on- a good OS should be as [...]

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 7th, 2005 6:57 am
Just found Yet Another Social Bookmark Tool- BlinkList offers site marking and tagging:
BlinkList is a tool that allows you to create a mental map of the internet of sites that are important to you. It’s a bookmarking manager designed to work in the same way your brain stores data and thinks about things. When we [...]
Ocotillo Retreat Feedback System Created (Seat of the Pants Software Development Project)
Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 30th, 2005 6:58 am
I am convinced all of my software projects are perpetually in progress, but that never lets me stop from spitting out a new one.
As a preface and someone who has worked with them seriously only a few years, I am deeply in techno love with database-driven web sites, notably the object of my affection [...]
A Better Cat Diary
Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 23rd, 2005 8:01 am
I really should be doing other work, but I thought of a quick improvement to the Built In Blogger presentation I did at the NMC 2005 Summer Conference on “More Than Cat Diaries: Publishing With Weblogs”… the hiding and showing of slide notes (using the “+/- notes” button in the top left) displayed a CSS [...]

This might be a sideways version of a screen cast. At Mboffin.com, Dylan created an animated GIF that shows a screen shot captures for each change as a web site was developed. You can watch it evolve from un-formatted semantic HTML through different iterations of font sizes, creation of the page elements, etc. It’s a [...]

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 15th, 2005 9:38 am
A new web technology is tickling my antennae. I hardly know enough about Ajax (bit WikiPedia does) to write about it. In my nutshell, it allows you to create interactive web pages or web pages with navigation that can change content within the page without doing a fresh HTTP request (a.k.a loading a new URL) [...]

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 14th, 2005 12:20 am
I guess the world needs a few more sites to post and share web site bookmarks. The newest flavor that came our way from a reader is Feedmarker, which is the newest blade in my Web Site Submission Multitool bringing the total here to 13.
Also, someone asked about adding Wists, the site tool that allows [...]
Serendipity or Just Dumb Luck: Finding By Not Searching
Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this April 22nd, 2005 7:31 am
Google is good. Google is great. I wish I kept better records of this, but I have vague recollections of finding some of my most favorite web discoveries at perhaps 3 links downstream of a search, or just by following a suggested link to one source and happen-stancing (random clicking) elsewhere.
So I use search most [...]
