Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - i knew the world was a big conspiracy.. but this is a gripping insight into how the world really works.
In this tutorial, I will lead you through 12 steps to create a nice sketched text effect in Photoshop. All in all it's a pretty simple effect, however if you're in need of sketched text, it's a pretty fail-safe method.. so bring on the grungy text.
So @font-face has been around for a while now, and everyone has been ranting and raving about how it will change the web. Services like typekit have arrived to try and tackle the issue of licensing and distribution. However the technology is here. It's cross browser, and it works today. So, this is a quick tutorial in how to easily and quickly ACTUALLY use font-face to embed a font on your site.
As Google Chrome's market share grows it has become necessary (in my pedant's eyes) to acknowledge that some people will be viewing your site without a status bar and subsequently with no grounding or footer space. In order to combat the unsightly finish this gives to a site, I have decided to include a border-bottom: 3px solid #ccc; in the body style for the new Outside In Media site - http://outsideinmedia.co.uk
A minor issue, but also easily fixed.. so check it out.. and maybe you might want to use it in the future.
The new year is well and truly underway. I've been back in London now for a few weeks, plugging away. A few exciting things are on the horizon. This is a quick post to let everyone know what's going on this year.. starting with some exciting developments on the Monitter.com front.
Well, this week atebits announced that they were releasing tweetie2. Now, being a sad geek, i use twitter quite a lot. Admittedly, until recently this was more to do with monitter.com than with anything else, but twitter is slowly becoming a social destination for me as well.
However, in the same vein as why i originally built monitter.com - I see twitter search as a still under utilised potential for networking. What i'd like to see is a twitter application that allows me to merge my saved searches and my follows into one timeline. I use my desktop tweetie like a news radar, it's how i know what's going on.. but what i'd like is to be able to queue up a bunch of saved searches as well, and have them injected into my main timeline - simple really.
