The problem with conceptual designs is that at a certain point they stop being devices for imagining possibilities and instead become a bucket for everyone's hopes and fears and anxieties.
History is time breaking up with itself, the transcript of an Aaron Straup Cope talk about The Pen at the Cooper-Hewitt.
I loved Jeremy Keith’s post about inlining CSS – which I’m doing on this site, but not nearly as well as he spells out.
That post also gave a good tip about making a small .htaccess change to cache-bust CSS and JS files without using query strings or coupling a version-number-in-a-file to the HTML. The way I’d been doing it required changing at least two things every time I updated the CSS here.
However, I found that for my .htaccess, I needed to do something a little different from the rewrite he suggests:
# RewriteRule ^(.).(d).(js|css)$ $1.$3 [L] # HisRewriteRule ^(.*)\.([0-9\-]+)\.(js|css)$ $1.$3 [L] # MineThe whole .htaccess is in this gist, for clarity’s sake. Please do make suggestions for improvements.
Really impressed by the work of Adam Morse, who has been releasing many small, focused, open projects to speed up and clean up the craft of web development.
Today I started looking at mn-ml, a clone-able prototyping template that comes with a minimal base project including gulp files and a clean folder structure. (I'd like to learn the basics of gulp in the next week, and this is a really great place to start.)
In addition, his pesticide add-on is something I use hundreds of times every workday and I'm hooked on his screencasts of web coding speed-runs.
