My latest blog post over at PC Pro is up. How to store website data with HTML5 talks about using localStorage and sessionStorage to store data on your website, much the same as cookies currently do.
Comments, here, there, etc. etc.
New Job
You might be aware from Twitter, that I’m moving jobs, and am starting next week at Isle, a Cambridgeshire-based digital communications company as a web developer. I’ll be working primarily with .NET and SQL, with some PHP and of course HTML and CSS. I might even be able to push the use of HTML5…
I was influenced by Design Militia’s To Do List to take another look at, and use, HTML5′s localStorage API. Turns out to be incredibly simple to use, so I’ve posted an experiment over on HTML5 Laboratory on using localStorage.
As always, comments here or there.
Since I’ve been using the SocioFluid plugin by Adrian Ianculescu on this blog for a while I thought I’d make some changes so it outputs valid HTML5 code.
SocioFluid is a Social Bookmarking Plugin, displaying small icons, which grows when the mouse is moved over, similar to mac effect.
I have now done so and made it available to download.
Adrian’s version was originally guaranteed to work with WordPress 2.5.1 but it seems to work fine with 3.0.1 here on this blog.
Back in January I posted about an expected arrival, Yogi the Border Terrier (pictured above). I wasn’t a dog person and my girlfriend spent a lot of time educating me about dogs, their body language etc. before finally convincing me to get one.
Ten months on, I’m totally converted. I am now a dog person. I love Yogi to bits and simply cannot imagine life without him. He’s happy, bouncy, playful, amusing, annoying at times, but he has truly enriched my life.
Since I recently added my own Twitter feed to my website, I used it as the base for my latest PC Pro article adding your Twitter feed to your website with jQuery.
As usual, feel free to comment here or there.
