Calling all Web 2.0 Icon designers

We've had this idea at The Yellow Llama for the longest time and finally last week we got our ass in gear and partnered up with @Norri from Maxiware to build a site that we're hoping is going to have great appeal. There are a couple good free icon websites that many designers use when putting together designs for various applications, IconFinder.net and IconArchive.com being a couple. However the ...

Kulula booking form: ur doin it rong

Dear Kulula web designers Good job on the new site and all, but you might want to make sure all your tees are crossed and your eyes are dotted. The calendar on your website is anything but userfriendly. Your nifty little slideshow isn't correctly z-indexed and it means that the only people that can use the popup calendar are level 55 COD4 Experts... We can see all of 3 or 4 pixels of the "Select" button......

The latest technology on the market

... from way back when... Can you believe how far we've come with computers & technology? Almost reminds me of that "640k should be more than enough for anybody" quote that whats-his-face said :)...

Skype 4 Beta Out

This morning I found (I cant remember where) a note to try out the new Skype 4 BETA for Windows and I'm glad I did. The new interface is somewhat chunkier than before - The single pane is now a full screen application that offers a bunch of new features and options: I think I'm preferring this new interface. It's definitely inspired me to organize a decent ...

Leopard is better than Vista - Walt Mossberg

Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal has put together a nice review video of Apple's new operating system, "Leopard". Now I don't necessarily agree with his closing comments about Leopard being better than Vista, but I do agree that Leopard has definately proven themselves when it comes to that 'Wow' effect. Vista has that 3D window scrolling thingie, and the glossy corners etc, but Leopard has a huuuge array of features that all have that Wow effect. ...

Why Computers Sometimes Crash

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket at a port, And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, And the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the packet pocket socket has an error to report. If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, And your data are corrupted 'cos the index doesn't hash, Then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!
