1545	Letting new visitors know we provide training courses I never see the most downloaded image on my website. Well - hardly ever. Here it is: Brash? Yes! Bright? Yes! It's an advertising link, to let people who arrive at our web site looking for technical information (and there are thousands a day) know that we can help them with training courses. ...	2009-08-31
2072	Copyright, Portability and other nontechnical web site issues Sometimes, I get so enmeshed in the technical that it's good to take a step back and look at our web site (and web sites in general) and say "what do we need to consider in the broader picture". I had this opportunity yesterday evening, as I ran a short session to look at some PHP issues. A couple ...	2009-03-09
1198	From Web to Web 2 "How do these technologies relate to Web 2?" asked one of my customers last week as we studied Apache httpd and Apache Tomcat. And of course that's followed up by the need to answer the question "What is Web 2". Initial web sites - "Web 1" if you like - were discreet information sources provided by ...	2008-09-27
1798	What does an browser understand? What does an HTML document contain? What would I expect a browser to understand? • HTML (To describe how the page is marked up) • Images - .jpg .gif .png (Photos, diagrams, etc) • Style Sheets - .css (To set the look and feel) and probably (but progressively less likely: • JavaScript (for local helpers such as ...	2008-09-15
356	Sudoku helper or sudoku cheat Have you seen the sudoku puzzles that are being published in the Daily Telegraph and (I think) the Los Angeles times? There's a whole group of addicts out there and helper and forum web sites too. Lisa pointed the puzzle out to me recently (no, she's not an addict!) with the thought of providing a ...	2008-06-06

1547	New bathing idea for hotels from Hotelympia I've been known to comment on training courses that we'll have true internet integration with everyone when we can contact our bath as we travel home and have it filled and ready for when we arrive. Well - gulp - we're getting there. Here's a hotel system that controls all the baths from a single ...	2008-02-20
1351	Compressing web pages sent out from server. Is it worth it? Web servers can compress .html and similar files before they send them out - a great way to keep traffic volume down where bandwidth is more of a consideration than processor power. But what proportion of browsers can accept compressed data? That's a darned good question which I was asked on today's ...	2007-09-14
1256	What country are you in? How we find out on our web site Our web site recognises the country that you're browsing from ... and that allows us to display our phone number in the format that you would have to dial to reach us, and to advise visitors to our public course pages from more distant countries that they're looking at a product for UK delivery before ...	2007-07-06
