Handing over a web site to a client is always a satisfying feeling but is it always finished?
Of course you should always aim to complete everything on the client's brief and to their specifications but are there times when it is best to hand over the site when you still have some work to do?
Recently I have found more and more that I am handing over web sites that are perhaps only 90% complete or that have temporary solutions in place.
Do we need vowels in order to read effectively?

I've got another new toy.
I was having a little trouble today to think of a blog post that would actually be interesting.
I was going to write about my experiences testing an SVN a copy of joomla I. 6 but the current state of the svn made that unproductive.
During CMSexpo many people were boring me to tears with how great twitter is.
At the time I'd never used it and really couldn't see it's purpose.

Apologies to regular readers for the lack of updates this week but it's been a very interesting few days.
Almost all my work this week has in some way or other been in the security sphere.
Last year I blogged about my personal backup procedures.

Ask a lawyer an opinion and they will give you one but is it the correct one.
Every lawyer has their own speciality area, and the good ones will even tell you in advance that your question is not within their area of expertise, but they all give you a legal "opinion" based on what you want to hear.
Sadly lawyers are like prostitutes, the oldest profession in the world, if you pay them enough money, or are a big enough client, they will find a way to achieve your goal.
Recently I've spent quite a lot of time looking at how users actualy use a website, where the mouse goes, what the eye scans etc.
It has also been interesting comparing how users with a mouse work differently to those with a trackpad. So as a bit of "Friday fun" have a look at this experimental web site that I bookmarked some time ago.
Can you resist to click

I logged into my gmail account today to see that I can now chose templates.
Along with the usual colour variants and subtle style changes there are some funkier templates for Ninjas, Kids, graffiti artists etc.
I wonder how long it will be before gmail template clubs open up?
