Today is One Web Day ! Since 1994 W3C has sought to ensure the Web is available to all people, from anywhere, on any device. Today I’d like to invite people to help build One Web by: Learning about the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and either (1) building your own customized checklist for How to Meet WCAG 2.0 or (2) putting together a customized web accessibility business case for your organization ; Reaching more people by learning about the quick tips for internationalization ; Cleaning up the Web and showing support for standards by using the W3C validator services ; Checking to see if your pages are mobileOK . Happy One Web Day! We’d love to hear your ideas for building One Web

I’ve been fixing bugs and adding little tweaks to Black Ink , my nifty crossword solving application. Looks like they really piled up and it’s definitely time for a release! Version 1.1.7 includes some fixes to the default puzzle source configuration, and a number of bug fixes ranging from minor to fairly significant. Puzzle Sources Fix the Chronicle of Higher Education source Remove Syndey Morning Herald – the paper has stopped publishing new puzzles Fix a bug that could cause downloads to stop working until relaunching the app Bug fixes and minor improvements Can now hover over a long puzzle title to see a tool tip window with the entire content Fix a visual bug with “Open As Unsolved” when the puzzle is already open Fix a bug that prevented numeric answers from being checked correctly Fix a bug that caused direction to change abruptly in puzzle that starts in “down” mode Multi-character answer improvements When revealing a multiple character answer, make sure the “revealed” color applies to all characters Fix check-as-you-type for multi-character answers Enter Multiple Letters menu item is now called “Enter Special Letters” After entering multiple character answer, now jumps to next square same as when entering single Fix a bug that caused reveal/correct to fail on some multi-character answers

Phurnace just released some new and powerful features for the management of IBM WebSphere and WebSphere Portals. In the Portal area, our product, Phurnace Deliver, can manage the auto-deployment and on-going configuration management for all of the pieces of a Portal instance (portlets, themes, skins, content, etc.) and the understandings of the interdependencies between them. This makes changing and managing Portals substantially easier than it is without Phurnace

Hello David, gradually I start to get a feeling for your perspective. Pulling “an efficient mechanism for interconnecting them” into focus you move across the boundaries of the XQuery spec’s field of vision. Your criticism that design is not only function and module design gains power.

We have been very pleased with the interest in our new report, Digital Platforms and Technologies for Publishers: Implementations Beyond "eBook." We have had hundreds of downloads already, the vast majority of which are senior people in the publishing industry. This tells us that the timing for the research is good and that interest is strong, and we are thinking about what to do next with this topic. One idea we have thought about is helping publishers think through their eBook strategy

Wil Shipley writes about the compromised perfection we must strive for in order to provide users an experience that meets their human expectations: “Classic computer programming has largely failed, because it failed to copy nature. Nothing in nature works 100% of the time, but it sure works well MOST of the time – and when it fails, well, you die and get replaced. A human being, for instance, is an absolutely amazing machine, and is provably NOT provably correct.” I particularly like the example in the second half, having to do with smartly interpreting a typed ISBN numbers for product search.

I do not consider myself a web design guru, but I’ve created a fair number of websites in the past fifteen years or so and continue to dabble with website design. One of the biggest changes which has taken place in the past five years or so, from my vantage point, is the transition away from static webpages created with web-authoring software programs like Dreamweaver and Frontpage , to server-based content management systems which permit browser-based updating and shared / distributed editin

Hi Everyone, I wanted to bring to everyone’s attention that we’ve been developing a new ePortal connector application for Salesforce.com.  This composite application will allow ePortal users to access their SalesForce Opportunities and associated information including Opportunity Products, and contact information through the ePortal, and thus the data in SalesForce will no longer be isolated.  Additionally, it will allow multiple departments to access

Paul Hermans has kindly set up a process (I believe an XProc pipeline using Calabash and SAXON 9) to test the XML Schema to Schematron converter I have been documenting in this blog over the last few years. Here are some results. I made some changes in the initial round of tests to get it to bootstrap without hanging: some tests against circular inclusions for example.
