    Storage - Mozilla Developer Center

    Didn't know about this until now. I discovered this while I was investigating how a certain Web site still seemed to remember stuff about me even though I had cleared my cookies.

    Quoted: Currently, only Mozilla-based browsers provide a working implementation of the DOM Storage specification. However, Internet Explorer does have a similar feature called "userData behavior" that allows you to persist data across multiple browser sessions.
    ...
    DOM Storage is useful because no good browser-only methods exist for persisting reasonable amounts of data for any period of time. Browser cookies have limited capacity and provide no support for organizing persisted data, and other methods (such as Flash Local Storage) require an external plugin.

    Perfect multi-column CSS liquid layouts - iPhone compatible

    Handy if you want a liquid layout for your Web site.

    Quoted: The CSS used for this layout is 100% valid and hack free. To overcome Internet Explorer's broken box model, no horizontal padding or margins are used. Instead, this design uses percentage widths and clever relative positioning.
    ...
    The solution is to keep things simple and only use CSS that works in all browsers. One of the main things to avoid is horizontal margins, padding and borders on elements with a specified width. This causes big problems for Internet Explorer because of it's broken box model. Unfortunately we can't simply ignore IE because it's the most widely used browser on the internet. If only everyone used Firefox!

    Please do not Use CSS Frameworks - Monday By Noon

    I disagree with first quoted sentence below and the general premise of the article. True, Blueprint does force you to add some proprietary classes to your XHTML elements to dictate layout on a grid. But, your elements don't have to be divs, and you can still use additional classes to articulate the full semantic meaning of the element.

    All in all, it's a small price to pay to speed up Web development. I have found I can whip up a nicely laid out site that works on all browsers *much* faster with Blueprint than I could without it. And, because there is a set of naming conventions, it makes it much easier for a team of developers (or if using a CMS, the content creators) to specify and read each others' layouts.

    Quoted: A CSS framework passively removes a great majority of semantic value from the markup of a document and, in my opinion, should be avoided. This lack of semantic value works against a big part of what Web Standards are all about; creating documents with rich semantic value.

    blueprintcss - Google Code

    Looks promising. I know some WordPress themes make use of this.

    Quoted: Blueprint is a CSS framework, which aims to cut down on your CSS development time. It gives you a solid CSS foundation to build your project on top of, with an easy-to-use grid, sensible typography, and even a stylesheet for printing.

    Some of the referenced blog posts are quite interesting, too.

    Quoted: There are interesting posts these day about future of MySQL Replication by Brian Frank and Arjen. I think it very interesting to take a look at a bit bigger picture using framework from Innovators Dilemma and Innovators Solution.

    All these requirements made traditional databases irrelevant for many web properties - too complex and too expensive to start with.

    SaveTheDevelopers.org :: Making The Web A Better Place, One Campaign At A Time...

    Quoted: Say No To IE 6!
    Our current campaign focuses on assisting users in upgrading their Internet Explorer 6 web browser. This campaign will result in former IE 6 users having a more enjoyable experience on the web while (hopefully) creating a less stressful and complicated environment for web developers by hastening the retirement of an outdated browser.
