I have made a few changes to iandevlin.com, adding a new services section to indicate that I am now also available for hire to do freelance web design and development work.
I do work full-time so my availability might be limited, but it’s best to contact me first to check my workload. But please do get in touch.
A brief list of the web development skills I can offer:
- XHTML
- HTML5
- CSS
- JavaScript
- jQuery and MooTools
- ASP.NET: C# and VB.NET
- Object Oriented PHP
- MySQL
- SQLServer 2005
- IIS
- Apache
As you may have noticed, I have been messing around with HTML5 a lot lately, even making my personal website HTML5 compliant. To say the least, this has tweaked my curiosity a lot and I knew that I would be playing around with the new features that HTML5 has to offer and thought that I should create a new site, in HTML5, where I can share my experiences when experimenting with these elements.
And thus HTML5 Laboratory was born!

Like all web developers, I need to test how my pages look in different browsers. Doing this on Firefox, Safari, Opera and the whatever version of Internet Explorer you happen to have on your machine is easy, as they all happily run alongside each other on the same machine.
But what about the different flavours of Internet Explorer (IE)?

At work the other day I was running into an issue regarding rounded corners with shadows. I had the divs and background images all working fine, it all looked good.
Except in Internet Explorer 6.
Now I know that there are many people out there who believe that IE6, as it’s affectionately known, is the spawn of the devil and should be flung to the depth of hell, never to be seen again. Heck there’s even a campaign afoot to get rid of it. And perhaps they have a point. But IE6 is still used by some people, and therefore must be supported.
