I posted a very simple question to a web development/designer mailing list today. We've got a new product in development and I thought that I'd do a little research on what UI's people liked the best from the current crop of online applications...

The Safari 3.1 update has just landed on my Macbook pro. It's quicker, more compatible, has Javascript that seems to work more consistently, but Gmail has gone decidedly odd.

For a while I've had a number of subversion repositories on Dreamhost for source control. Much credit to Dreamhost, it's a doddle to setup and I've never had any reliability issues. The problem with having a remote SVN though is that it's a bit slow. So, as most of my development is done in the office, I decided to move the repositories to a local server.

I visited an old website I had been involved with yesterday. The project ran for some 3 years and it presented some very interesting challenges.

Just saw this really great tip over at makeuseof.com. A lot of us use Gmail these days, we recommend it to all of our clients under the guise of Google business. It never ceases to amaze me what you can find in Gmail.
