Going by the sample chapter Andy Budd has produced a well writen and, most importantly clear book explaining CSS.
CSS Mastery is now on my ever growing shopping list, along with upgrading my ageing copy Photoshop 5.5.

It’s all Apple’s fault. No, really. I went with Kim down to the Apple store in Regent St just after xmas because she wanted to have a look at the video iPod.
So I’m wandering around looking at various bits and pieces when I notice there’s a G5 and large tft monitor vacant. So I walk up have a look in the applications folder as I usually do, spot Quark and fire it up.
I’m used to a 17″ crt at work and suddenly find I have loads of desktop space for toolbars, pallettes and, well everything. Quark is running even worse than it does on my G4 at work so I’m unimpressed although I now suspect it’s Quark that’s the problem and not OS X on a G4.
Anyway, we leave, Kim with new black iPod and me with head full of widescreen monitor. This isn’t good. Not for my bank balance anyway.
Last week I gave in and splashed out on a Dell 2405FPW, possibly the most expensive, non-essential thing I’ve ever bought.
I was a little disappointed initially as I was used to running at 1600 x 1200 on a 19″ crt and windows and text was larger on the 2405 although the resolution was set at 1920 x 1200. I still have more desktop space for apps than the 19″ but it’s took a little while to realise this.
Games on the other hand are incredible. I haven’t tried a DVD yet but can imagine the effect to be the same. It won’t be long before I’m used to things this way so I’m trying to make the most of things now before the shiny effect wears off.
Damn you Apple. Thank you.
I became an uncle just before xmas. I wasn’t overly bothered when my sister told me she was pregnant as I don’t see her very often and I didn’t really get the significance of the whole event.
I saw him for the first time in December when we got together to celebrate my dads 70th birthday and I realised that rather than being just another baby he was actually related to me. I understood for the first time why and how children can affect people. I look at him and see a connection rather than something I can’t (or won’t) understand.
Welcome to the world Lewis.
As you can tell we’re still alive at monki towers and we’ve made one or two changes. We upgraded and have changed to a very nice pre built theme for the moment. Once we figure out the new bits and pieces then PRS may get running again.
With that in mind we’re going to run off again because it’s 2am and we really should be in bed.
