The Little Things: Google+ Notifications

Google+ lets you respond to notifications right inside the notification dropdown menu. The notification bar is present at the top of all Google pages…pure genius!

Was True North really planning an NHL announcement last week?

I was poking around the HTML source of the Winnipeg NHL season tickets drive website – driveto13.com – on Tuesday where I discovered this HTML comment.

It looks like True North was actually planning an announcement last week. As of today (June 2nd) 5 of 8 presale groups have been activated. This HTML comment points to a timeline starting last Tuesday, just like earlier rumour suggest.

Here’s a link to the full source, since it’s been updated recently.

War…

I guess this post could be construed as political. It’s not really. I simply wanted to highlight this astonishing photograph currently on the front page of Reddit.

This appears to be a photograph of white phosphorous being used by Israel on a civilian population. If you are not aware of the affects of white phosphorous take a look at Wikipedia, it tends to burn skin.

Border-Radius Broken in Webkit?

Border-radius with a background image appears to be broken in webkit (tested in both Chrome and Safari on Mac). Check out how much the background colour bleeds over the corner. Is this a known issue? I came across this randomly on the Winnipeg Free Press mobile site. It looks like the same issue is not affecting the WordPress UI I’m currently typing it.  I haven’t had time to try to duplicate the issue yet. What are the combination of factors that cause this bug to appear?

Hiring in Winnipeg: Web Developer and Production Coordinator

My new employer Think Shift is looking to fill 2 full-time positions.

1. A web developer with a bunch of ASP experience. Full posting.

2. Production & Media Coordinator – as far as I understand this is a bit of a crazy hybrid position where you get to tell a bunch of nerds what to do every day. Full posting.
