  • Template – HTML5, CSS3 ready Responsive Web Design Page

    I ended up creating a simple Template.

    After working yet again on my third website using responsive web design, I saw that I badly needed a template. A simple drop-in skeleton template that I could use as a kick-start, and focus on content instead of structure.

    There is a bevy of instructions, usage, gotchas when correctly implementing responsive web pages. Instead of reminding myself of any such lessons, I thought it’s best to start with a base, and over time keep adding important bits to it.

    It was tempting to create a template with _all_ of the best out there. But I chose to stick with the essential, most importantly stable, and practical template I could figure out. The project is on Github, and I look forward to improving Template with an aim to provide standard, clean, responsive websites.

    Happy responses!

  • My views on Steve Jobs’s biography – Microsoft is here to stay

    I am reading Steve Jobs’s autobiography. Quite a detailed memo of Steve’s background as person who he was. The book is fantastic, and I recommend everyone should read it (atleast those in IT).

    One thing that got me thinking was the philosophy behind Apple’s products. These are never intended to replace any Microsoft products – ever! So why the heck do these seem in competition?

    As (it seems) Steve himself used to say ‘Good artists copy, great artists steal’, it easily could have been the case where Windows copied Mac. No point in arguing that further. But for how long?

    Windows 8, surface tablets, Androids, Dell Ultra books and so on … all trying to sell the same piece of technology and making wild predictions on attacking the same user base which Apple has.

    Personally, I’d be happy to use iPhone as a iPhone, and my Windows as a Windows machine. I wish they didn’t bother ordering what they think I need for me anymore.
