Posted on in Games, Miniatures, My Life.I went, I queued, I shopped, I chatted to a few people, I took some rather poor photographs:
Once the house move is out of the way, I need to spend a good amount of time practising photography, especially flash photography.

PPK on Apple
Posted on in Blogs, WWW.I always enjoy Peter-Paul Koch’s blog posts even though currently I’m only on the very distant edge of the mobile world (as a user I use my phone for making the occasional phone call and nothing much else, as a developer I’m dipping my toes in the world of mobile web and couldn’t care less about apps). Today’s seems to sum up the situation with Apple perfectly:
Is it a good idea for Apple to go to war against several major players and piss off developers all at the same time?

Screen readers, HTML5, ARIA – all happy together?
Posted on in WWW.This week I converted a site from XHTML 1 to HTML5, and as part of this I moved the ARIA landmark role attributes from generic div elements to various new elements. And I got to wondering whether this could have unforeseen consequences.
I know from feedback that the ARIA landmark roles have proved useful for some users of this site, so it would be a bad move if this stopped working because their screen readers didn’t recognise the role attributes on “unknown” elements.
<div role="banner"> vs <header role="banner">
I guess what this boils down to, are there any user agents that (a) support the role attribute and (b) use the DOM as generated by a browser engine that fails to recognise HTML5 elements?
Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer won’t style HTML5 elements (though IE will after applying a little JavaScript magic) but styling isn’t the same as recognised at a basic level.
This seems like an edge case, as most of the reports I’ve found whilst searching have indicated that HTML5+ARIA is a good thing and works, but most of the reports don’t specify versions of user agents used. Does anyone have any links to first hand research into this issue?
