Trnfest 06 – Matice (The Stroj)

August 20th, 2006 * Comments(0)

Matice (a section of The Stroj) – a concert that has been eluding me for years and years… I don’t know why or how but we were never in the same place at the same time. Yesterday the stars aligned just right apparently.

Years ago I got my hands on one of their CDs but there’s simply no comparison with a live performance.
Grinding and thumping on anything that will produce a sound (and you’ll be amazed by the stuff that can be converted into an instrument)… these guys are legends!

Trnfest 06 – Bilk

August 20th, 2006 * Comments(0)

Bilk – a d&b trio from Zagreb, supposedly mixing a bit of reggae into d&b but I never heard any hints to support the theory. Howevwer, their myspace page does have something resembling reaggae (Gone to Texas).

To be fair, the music was pretty decent as far as d&b goes but I never felt drawn into it so I left rather early.

CSS3 preview

CSS3.info brings us the preview of what’s to come in the emerging CSS3 standard. Of course you’ll need Firefox or Opera to see anything (and sometimes nothing as it’s not yet fully supported).

Some things look cool, others I can’t imagine ever using (for now at least).

One of the really useful new features are media-queries that let you serve a different stylesheet to different devices used to access your site, in other words,  different stylesheets for different screen resolutions.
So browsing a page on a PDA would give you a different rendering (yet still exactly as you want it) compared to looking at it on a big screen. You could do different versions for every imaginable screen resolution but that’s a bit over the top I imagine.
