Farlops Industries

Found a lot of good sites on Mozilla’s implementation of the DOM. Something, with lots of good examples, that was very hard for me to find a few months ago.

Now, after nearly a year’s procrastination, I can finally start giving real examples of accessible DHTML that is DOM complient.

I found other interesting stuff too which caused me to revise one of my earlier entries about site icons.

And I’ve thought of a few things I need to tweak Greymatter so that it generates XHTML compliant markup.

Much to do. Much to do.

But first spaghetti, then sleep, then work.

Even in HTML. I consider myself pretty experienced with this stuff but today I found something about the BASE element that I didn’t know before. I found this striking because I have a lot of internal links in my journal posts and, until now, I had to mark them as absolute URLs to keep them from breaking as Greymatter archived the posts. Using BASE will help me to keep them as relative URLs. Nice. Thanks Marshy!

MEMS are miniature (centimeter sized) or microscopic (micron sized) robots and machines. MEMS technology can also be thought of as proto-nanotech because many of the control and software issues faced by MEMS engineers are very similar to those that will be faced by nanotech engineers.

Browsing Memepool, I came across these rather interesting robots developed by MIT and Sandia Labs.

Oh, and I also found this rather interesting article about content oriented page design over at RobotWisdom.

Dotfile brings us, by way of A List Apart, this list of sites that don’t use tables for layout. Farlops Industries has been free of layout tables since late 1998. The ranks of CSS-only page designers are finally growing! Progress is being made comrades!

Web Nouveau also has a more extensive list of sites free of layout tables.

Addendum (6-19-03): Donimo’s list of sites without layout tables mysteriously disappeared many months ago. I have since replaced the link with Meryl’s list, which carries on the tradition.
