Bad news… Industry Standard. I

Bad news… Industry Standard. I don’t think I need to explain.

Cheering myself up by watching Photoshop tennis right now. It’s better than a Connors and McEnroe match! That’s right… it’s the man I talk about too often that I am beginning to wonder if I am an obsessed fan…. Jeffffffreeeeeeeeeeeeey “The WaSP” Zeeelllldman! His opponent is Scottish lad, Brian “Rustboy” Taylor. Taylor just returned with a quizzical look on his face in response to Zeldman’s maneuver.

OK, you guys can stop seeing Process Methodology… Oh My! on ALA. I’m sure you were sick of my face after three weeks’ exposure. Hey, the man had to go on a speaking tour to make your day. I guess I am in an insulting mood today. Shame on me. I apologize especially if you liked my process article. If you didn’t like it… (no, Meryl, don’t say that) (But they’re mean to me) (Come on, girl. If you want them to read your stuff again…) (*sigh*).

Anyway, it’s a double issue. Again, great of the man to make up for it… but he shouldn’t have to since he provides us with a service on his own time. Today’s marquee is Practical CSS Layouts: Tips, Tricks & Techniques by Mark Newhouse. Glancing at it… it’s pushing me another step forward into creating my first table-less Web page. Table-less sounds naked. Anyway, even if I finally get around to doing it, it won’t mean I’ll give up tables completely. You know, it’s an addiction. Is there a tables patch? It’s a good article that is well accompanied by code and visual aids.

The second article, Global Treaty Could Transform the Web by Dennis Mahoney gets into politics (not my strongest subject). According to the Cnet article, International policy-makers met to discuss the creation of common rules affecting online trade and commerce. Like most things politics, they didn’t come to agreement. Dennis clearly explains the situation and gives us food for thought. I just don’t see restrictions happening on the Web.

Almost everyday I get SPAM saying to “reserve my .info domain name today!” Now you can find out who actually went through it in the whois database.
