Back in business

So, I’ve come back from a five week break in which I’ve managed to do almost all of the things that I wanted to do in that time; I got myself into shape again (kind of) by going out on my bike every day, went to a few Unis (DMU Leicester, Kent, Bristol & Manchester) to visit a few mates, finished watching all seven series of The Sopranos and played a fair amount of GTA IV.

Also during my time off I was approached by an old acqaintance from Teachers TV, who has persuaded me to take up a position as Senior ID on a fairly large-scale project in Reading; unfortunately, I can’t really say anymore than that at the moment!

A change of scenery (for a little bit at least)…

I’ve recently decided to take a break from web development probably for a couple of months. One of the reasons for this is that I’m starting to feel very burnt-out (I haven’t had a break for more than a month in three years), and the time has come to get a change of scenery for my own sanity!

My tasks for my time off are as follows:-

  1. Get super fit like I was a couple of years ago before a little thing called ‘work’ came along.
  2. Go visit my mates who are at uni

CSS3 ‘box-sizing’ article updated

Following on from the recent CSS WG F2F where issues relating to the concept were either resolved or noted, and from some email correspondence with Dave Hyatt, I’ve carried out an update to the article.

Euuurrggghhh! What’s going on in Safari 3.1?

Just noticed this…

….and this font-size inconsistency (Safari 3.1 overlaying FF 2.0.0.12), both in OSX

Look’s like a couple of regression bugs as they certainly weren’t there in 3.0- think I’ll need to come up with a test case or two.
