Today I …

  • Had my photo used in a (gay) mockup of a what our Valentine’s Day homepage could look like.
  • Had lots of fun combining Ajax, JSON, RSS, JSP and jQuery in various combinations.
  • Moved the breadcrumb trail from just inside the main content area to just before it … in many, many templates.
  • Wondered whether any of the ARIA landmark roles was suitable for a block that contained a breadcrumb trail, a print button and an RSS feed button. contentinfo or nothing seem to be the options.
  • Told my boss that I needed to refactor all the JavasScript (that I had written in the first place) on the whole site.
  • Wasn’t ill enough to go home to bed, maybe tomorrow. (Damn this really quite good immune system!)
  • Boggled at the photos of Ben Dalby in a straight jacket!
  • Spent most of Survivors thinking about the benefits of CGI vs something actually decent looking when it came to collapsing buildings.

Ragnarok 55The latest issue of Ragnarok, the journal of fantasy and science fiction wargaming, was published this week and contains the usual mix of useful and off-the-wall articles. I liked the Daleks, the moon landings and the discussion on alternative history.

The SFSFW have been busy and can now be found on Twitter and Facebook. They also have their own blog (which I’m syndicating on LiveJournal, if that’s your preferred platform).

Today, I’ve been updating the society’s web site:

  • Combined two stylesheets into one (originally the second stylesheet had been @imported in order to hide it from Netscape 4, those were not the good old days)
  • Converted the site to HTML 5, just because I can, and added some ARIA role attributes for accessibility
  • Pulled in the latest blog posts onto the homepage (using Magpie RSS to do so)
  • Added all the new sites to the navigation
  • Added social bookmarking links to most pages so visitors can send the page straight to Google, Facebook, LiveJournal, Delicious, Stumbleupon or Twitter

Total domination of the interwebs, here we come!
