I suppose, I never really version control those, just track the revisions by uploading updates of the comps for the client, or using share drives if I'm working with other designers. I don't think you can merge PSDs, so many of the benefits

No, the other one is sort of a horse race, which is neat. Maybe show the top sites and their ranks over the past five half hours/full hours in a narrow table that would work in any browser.

Blame Apple if you have an iPhone. This sort of presentation also couldn't work on a small phone, though a text list version should be provided for mobile users (is it?). I hope the author checks out something like Raphael (JS SVG library)

There are many situations when DejaVu Sans, Helvetica, and Arial look equally good. The print designer notion that the design must look identical everywhere is obsolete for the web, which remains a medium controlled by the user. Jakob Niels

That stinks. On one hand, the beauty of DVCS is that you can clone from another repos that isn't corrupt, but this would still be a big problem in a bare (central) repository during a merge or if you were working offline for an extended per

I don't think I'd immediately launch into a state of panic during a mid-summer brownout...I'd probably be even more likely to read, which is a time it's nice to have a thorough dictionary on hand. Also, I don't like the idea of being separa

This fellow's not known for being full of crap, so I give him the benefit of the doubt. Take ten minutes, give it a try, then see what you think.

Very robust (SQLite, and it expects HTTP for transmission). Fairly performant, though not quite as fast as Git. I agree with the creator's take on this, Fossil takes the philosophy of the tortoise: reliability is more important than raw sp

Look no further than Fossil SCM. It had a distributed ticket system as well as a wiki, and it was developed by Dr. Hibbs (of SQLite fame) who provides unbelievable support for it: I saw him address a user's question on the mailing list with

And this one's much worse than the other one I flagged weighing in at letter-spacing: -0.08em Let's make this the month of learning elementary typography. Might want to go back to the drawing board with the white on fuchsia as well.

Arial is the default sans on Windows, and Helvetica on Mac, so I'm not sure what "fugly font" you're talking about.

I find myself deferring to the OS more and more these days, specifying simply "sans-serif" and "serif" where the precision doesn't matter. A bonus is that your page will listen to browser preferences.

> Verdana is a good choice for headings. A font designed to be readable at small sizes is good for headings? I seldom mix sans, but I usually will use an Arial heading with Verdana copy. Verdana becomes very unsightly above 14px, in my

You should always put a PDF with non-standard fonts through Adobe's "preflight" (it's part of Acrobat) or an equivalent processor. It will tell you if the fonts will be embedded, and an assortment of other useful things.

The mobile industry puts you closest to your customers' wallets, so I think that's the place to be right now if you're in it for the money.
