A great new addition to WebKit—the Web Inspector. It lets you browse the live DOM hierarchy in a compact HUD style window, catering to the needs of web developers. The Web Inspector highlights the node on the page as it is selected in the hierarchy. Search for nodes by node name, id and CSS class name is also possible within the same window! Whoa!! I like it already!
Download the nightly build from http://webkit.opendarwin.org/blog/?p=41 and run the followinf in Terminal.
defaults write com.apple.Safari \
WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true
And you should be set to go. You’ll then see a new “Inspect Element” contextual menu item on any web page. This will open up the Web Inspector and refocus to the node under your cursor.
Its already the 17th of January 2006! And it wouldn’t be long before we board the plane to head all the way over the Pacific onto Austin Texas for South By South West 2006. There will be lots happening and if all goes to plan I’d be off to North Carolina for about a week to meet my dear dear friend Nancy before heading down to Austin where we all would catch up again. We also have a few exciting plans post SXSW2006 
more to be revealed soon. Don’t forget to tag all your posts (photos and blog entries) South By South West posts by sxsw2006.
Russ posted an article on “Nested lists used to create a simple folder metaphore“. Thought I’d apply the same mark-up and change the CSS to create Left-hand navigation to re-purpose and re-use the same code. So here goes. ‘Course, I’d expect you’d change the pixel sizes to em and make it all relative. The CSScan also be streamlined a bit further.

See you there!!
As some of you might know John Allsopp is already organising this (Good on you John) to get together the best Aussie contingent for South by South West(SXSW) Interactive 2006. SXSW undoubtedly is one of the #1 interactive conference/get together in the World. And even if you are in no way associated with web, music or interactive design and still would love to come along… even better! Please get in touch. All going well you’d see me there too (Molly, we’ll have to do more photo shoots ). Allow me to echo a few lines from Johns and here are some photos from last years.
More Measuremap tease is underway. Bright red signifies active visitors (right Jeff?). The scary bit… I think I know who is visiting from Iceland and Peru. Okie for the rest of you do flick in a comment so I know you hate my blog Until the next tease!
Thanks Jeremy for installing RoundCube. At Segpub you are not only looked after but you are spoilt!!
I have been experiementing with it for the last week and its growing on me! Not convinced about this AJAX goodie? Check out Mark Boulton’s review or if you like to sink your teeth in it here’s a little lovin’.
UPDATE: My brut-forced blog that I wouldn’t have otherwise had.
Matt Mullenweg introduced Akismet just a few days back. It’s a comment-spam defense system for WordPress. Only a few days back I had installed dr Dave’s brilliant SpamKarma v2 which seems to work very well (thanks Ruth). So my question here is: Which of the 2 is better and why?
Thank you Jeff. I am totally delighted to have received this little surprise email just about five minutes back YAY! Since I’ve only just set it up it wouldn’t show much stats to start with. I am looking forward to have a play with it. The entire Measuremap user-interface is AJAX driven. Sweet as! Wow! And it loads very fast! I hope to have a few screensgrabs up for you here.
Flock Developer Preview is now available. Go on give it a whirl. I love it already. Yes well I’m easy pleased BUT if you are anything like me and like technology ( I think ‘geek’ is over-rated) you’d know what I mean. Head on over and have a muck around.

Overwhelmed by the amazing response to WE05. I don’t know where to start. Despite being a fortnight late in publishing this I seem to be still reeling from the effect of a total WE05 utopia! It was definitely an amazing conference. Let me take that back it was not only a conference that stood out as being unique but this was backed up with amazing friendly people from many walks of life and many continents around the globe. Rare! A collaboration of this nature can only come to pass where people think beyond their own thirst for knowledge, and not just the organisers and speakers but also the delegates… I, for one, saw the conference from a very different standpoint as compared to last years. Continue reading ‘WE05 from my perspective’
Just so you know…. a lof of the photos from the amazing, exciting, futuristic, open-minded, inspiring, most-friendly, most enjoyable ever Web conference Web Essentials 2005 is now up. There are a few more to go to complete the entire set, so thank you for your patience. The photos include pre WE05 yak yak fun booze dance goss ummm what did I miss? Well… yes, I’ve been working my fingers to the bone but still its taking a long time isn’t it? Slow lazy me! Is this where I say… ‘Ain’t no spring chicken no more’… so, pardon my speed! Am a slow release fertiliser, gosh! did I just say that.
