Andy Clarke has posted a quick write up of his approach to browser testing new site designs.

AHHHHHHH!!!

Looks like the update Textmate pushed yesterday changed (or jut broke) the way the editor handles XHTML vs. HTML and now all the tags I have it generate are being added in HTML fashion (eg. <img> vs. <img />). Before I think it just autodetected based on doctype (i dunno, I just never had to think of it before).

Help me change it back please.

I’ve just upgraded the code behind both Place Name Here and ChunkySoup.net to the latest version of Textpattern. The upgrade was smooth though there were some gotchas with minor tag changes as some updates needed to my custom patches. Ultimately the changes look like they’re all for the better. Plugin updates are next, but they may take a little time [week or two i guess] so if you’re relying on any of my plugins let me know and I’ll try and move them up in the queue.

JPG Magazine, started by Derek Powazek and Heather Powazek Champ a few years ago, went through some big changes a few issues ago and have turned themselves into a very creative take on using a ‘community’ to submit to and create content for their print magazine (yes, I said print).

Been much to silent around these parts for a number of different reasons, including…

• Juggling a heavy work load on a few different projects, hopefully some of which will see the light of day soon.
• Been spending my free time outside trying to catch the tail end of the nice weather and the beginning of the fall color change and shooting with my new Nikon D80.
• Dealing with intermittent hardware issues with my main machine (which is now sitting in the Apple Store for repairs).

Hopefully I can get past the next week or two and then get back to the regular posting schedule. In the mean time you can still keep up with my pictures, bookmarks, and other goodies at Place Name Where?.
