The Web Princess

Interview with a Princess

by

So, a few weeks ago I had the great opportunity to chat to Josh Kinal and the gang at The Nudge Melbourne about the relationship between designers and developers. If you’re interested in such things, and perhaps curious what an Australian Kiwi accent sounds like… well, you can check it out here…

Before the interview I had put together a few thoughts by way of a wishlist from devs for designers on slideshare too… wade in with comments if you’ve anything to add or you think I got it horribly wrong! All (reasonable) opinions welcome!!

WordCamp Sydney | July 21-22 2012

It wasn’t really a heat of the moment thing… All the way through WordCamp Gold Coast all I could think about was… we need a WordCamp in Sydney, it’s been way too long. And blow me down if there weren’t other people at #wcgold thinking the same thing.

So we talked about it over a couple of beers (as you do) and the idea kept getting more compelling so we came home from the conference and we read the instructions and muggins here filled out the form and applied.

So, now I can wear the WordCamp organiser badge… you know, if there were such a thing.

Apple an Me – Round Two

by

I know, I know, I’m really hard on my stuff, I spend money on things like iPods, MacBooks and iPhones (yes, I’m a sucker, I believe that’s on record already) and then I treat them like shit. *hangs head in shame* However, in this round of the Dee v Apple face off it was the… [Read More]

Me & Apple it’s a Love/Hate Thing.

by

It is no secret that I love my Mac.  It looks good, it works good and it feels good to use.  It’s not new, it isn’t particularly fast, and when I’m making real money sometime I’ll upgrade it; but the truth is, I’m now sold out to the product. It’s good. Really good. Even though… [Read More]

I am an inveterate fiddler, interested in not only having my web site do the things I want, but having it look the way I want and also understanding how it works and how to make it do more!  I started out on a hosted blog, a brilliant introduction to the world of blogging and… [Read More]
