I recently found out that I was lucky enough (Thanks Hugh) to have a panel proposal chosen to go forward to the 2009 South by South West (SXSW) Interactive Panel Picker. My panel is called “Build a better team through web app development”. Here’s some background about the idea.
In July 2008 we spent four days [...]

Kevin Rose recently challenged me to shave my head for charity and it sounded like a great idea (and Gill even gave her blessing). So this Thursday, Aug 14th, is the big day. I’m going to shave my head live on Ustream.tv.
As you all know, us Carsonites are passionate about the web, so we thought [...]

Finding a design process that works.

I’ve recently just finished updating Carsonified's 2008 “Future of” event sites.
So while the Event Planners iron out the finer details of the forthcoming events my focus is turned to the design of the 2009 event sites, which I get to design from scratch.
So where do I start?

A lot of geeks and developers out there are using Mozilla Firefox. It’s a fantastic browser, and I highly recommend it. Firefox has been a huge factor in the progress of web development. Where would we be without the Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug?
However, there’s one place you have to be careful using Firefox - [...]

Interview tip: How to keep it real
From Carsonified!, 5 months ago,

Our meeting room is full of bean bags. We decided to get rid of the tables and swap them out for something more comfortable and relaxing. I can’t tell you how glad I am that we did this.
The problem is that when we interview people for new positions on the Team, we don’t have anywhere [...]

Future of Mobile 2008 is up and running. The conference takes place on 17th November at Kensington Town Hall, followed by a day of workshops on mobile business and technical development.

How to use a bit of cleverness to impress your users

I recently installed Greasemonkey and I noticed a really nice touch that they’ve used when you turn it on or off.
When you click the monkey’s face in the status bar, it switches from a color smiley face, to a black-and-white frown face. I love that. Instead of saying ‘On’ or ‘Off’ they chose a simple [...]

Quick trick for pimping Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Docs
From Carsonified!, 5 months ago,

We’ve just moved our email, calendar and documents over to Google Apps (thanks Keir!) and it’s amazing. The migration of our email wasn’t too bad (besides the fact I deleted my entire ‘To Respond’ folder by mistake - oops).
However, Google Apps isn’t news to any of you. What is exciting is the way we’ve rolled [...]

As you’ve all been hearing, we spent last week building Matt (Multi Account Twitter Tweeter). We’re absolutely thrilled with the way it went. We finished on time, we got some great feedback, and we learned a lot. But everybody’s been asking: What was it like to build it? What went wrong? How did you guys [...]
