As a big fan of the text editor vim. I’m also a bit of a newbie and I’m constantly seeking out some new stuff to learn. Either some key combination I didn’t know, some nice nifty plugin to help out, etc.
That’s why I’m excited about this possible online vim conference. It hasn’t been planned properly yet and I believe he/they are still seeking people to participate and help. If you’re interested you should check it out.
The Vodafone website in Iceland has just undergone a redesign. It was designed by the amazing web agency Kosmos & Kaos, which is also based in Iceland.
I’m very grateful to have been able to partake in the project. I helped with the CSS, initial HTML and most of the Javascript interactions on the website, and I’ve got to say I’m pretty proud of the work. That includes some nice CSS3 effects, a custom parallax slider, the modern dropdown menu etc.
I ran into this post on HN today. It’s from a guy who often gets brought in to help teams refactor old ruby on rails code.
