Slideshows. Who doesn’t love a good slideshow? jQuery Cycle is a plugin that makes creating these popular site elements incredibly simple. However, you may have attempted to use Cycle in a responsive layout recently and discovered that the slideshow does not resize as your container changes size.

Today I finalized the new welcome page of QUOTE.fm for tomorrow. A problem I encountered was making the jQuery Cycle slideshow responsive. I found a nice tutorial that helped me with that. It was not the exact solution because I have div’s with images and text which cycle instead of just images but it was a big help.

Nice overview of useful shortcuts for Sublime Text 2, listed by Lucas Fais. If you are working with ST2 definitely take a look.

A few days ago I took a little detour to work. This is one of the photos I took. And now let’s get ready for Tatort.

So as you might have heard we submitted our iPad app some days ago and we eagerly anticipated the approval. Yesterday it finally happened, the QUOTE.fm iPad app got approved by Apple. We are so incredibly happy. So when will the app be downloadable? Next tuesday! Yes, that’s right, next tuesday we will put the app online and also roll out QUOTE.fm Read on the web and a lot of other great stuff. You’ll love it!

I am so excited about all this and am so much looking forward to next week. But until then Philipp and I still have to do some things so that everything will be fine when you start Social Reading the best stories from the web on QUOTE.fm.

You can either follow me or the QUOTE.fm Twitter account to stay up to date on the news surrounding the launch on tuesday.

When I struck off on my own, I knew I wanted to make a go at making CSS-Tricks more of a full time gig. Right away, redesigning the site toward that goal seemed like a good idea. But why do that hidden away in my room? I love the idea of working in public and that’s exactly the kind of work CSS-Tricks is made from. So I thought I’d turn on my microphone and screencast the whole process. Then I’d make those videos available to purchase or subscribe to. To validate it was a good idea, I put up a Kickstarter.

It went pretty well :)

So there it is, the newly redesigned CSS-Tricks.com. I honestly have to say that it’s not necessarily my style of design, but that’s okay. It shows what is possible with CSS and has a lot of little details and things to discover. So it’s truly a CSS-Trick. Great work Chris!
Because I backed his Kickstarter project I have access to „the Lodge“, which means I can watch how Chris build this whole site. He recorded over 150 screencasts, which is pretty awesome. I already watch the first five and am looking forward to the ones with cool Front End stuff.

Watching these screencasts makes me wanting to do screencasts myself again. But this time about coding instead of photography. Maybe I’ll try it some time in the future.

Today at half past seven on my way to work.

If you can live without the cool Hybrid Viewfinder of the X100 and X-Pro 1, this could be your next mirrorless camera. Looks great, is smaller than the X-Pro 1, but has the same sensor size. And you can get it in all black.

I, for one will keep the X100 or maybe upgrade to an X200 when it’s coming out.

Fujifilm really has build up an incredible lineup with the X10, X100, X-Pro 1 and now X-E1.

After using GitHub for QUOTE.fm for some weeks now and loving it, I decided it’s time to become more active publicly. So I just published my first repository. It’s really really small, more precisely it’s just one file. But I think it’s important to just start something. My first repo is a collection of SCSS Mixins I regularly use. I plan to always update the list when I need a new one in a project I work on.

Maybe you can benefit from this list and take what you need from it or you just import the whole file since by generating the final CSS the Mixins which aren’t used will be ignored anyway.

So, hello fellow GitHubbers!

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CSS4. There has never been a CSS4. There will never be a CSS4. CSS4 is not a thing that exists.
The term „CSS3“ refers to everything published after CSS 2.1.

Read that and spread the word.
