When newspapers get it wrong

January 04th, 2006 * Comments(0)

How should newspapers react when they jump the gun and publish information that’s clearly false?

 Poynter Online posted a story about several newspapers that printed a version of their paper with big headlines saying the miners in Virginia were found alive before the news were confirmed. Unfortunately it didn’t happen that way (the last I heard 12 out of 13 were found dead).

Obviously there’s nothing much you can do about the papers once they are printed and sent out but I quite like the idea of an info box pointing to the latest developments on the website. That’s the least they could have done. Plus a big appology in the next issue of course.

To hell with everything…

 There are days when words like: “I hate going to class” are elevated to a whole new level

fuck… Why, oh bloody why do I have to be here??

Mastering Ajax

January 04th, 2006 * Comments(0)

 Understanding Ajax, a productive approach to building Web sites, and how it works by Brett McLaughlin is a pretty decent introduction for people who don’t really know where to start. What, why, how and all that…
Or you could scroll down to resources and simply get to work.

Just don’t overdo it. No matter how useful the ajax approach is, it’s not really necessary sometimes. Think flash intro and you’ll know what I mean.
