All the fun of the fair

Once a year a charter fair comes to Buckingham. It’s here for two saturdays, and then it’s gone again.

They say that time flies when you’re having fun, and I’m beginning to think it flies even when I’m not having fun.

In the past month, here’s what I’ve done:

and loads of other boring stuff. I’m so exhausted!

There’s a reason I don’t use Photoshop

This entry was posted on October 10, 2008

Today I lost my virginity to web development in a Mac environment. It went fairly well (once I’d managed how to make TextEdit work in plain text. The only problem I had was with Photoshop.

It started out as a bizarre problem. My images were showing in Safari, but not in Firefox. I checked my markup, double checked it, and triple checked it. I even made sure the images were in the right place. I thought then maybe that it was a browser bug - after all, if it were a problem with the images / markup, Safari wouldn’t display the images either.

After checking in IE6 / XP, IE7 and FF / Vista, the images still weren’t showing up. This was definitely bizarre. Normally browser bugs happen in one browser / OS combination, and all these non-showing of images definitely disproved that point.

After much puzzling with a colleague about what the problem could be (if it wasn’t the images, and it wasn’t the markup), my colleague checked the images again.

Turns out they were saved as image-name.jpg.psd.

Two things learned then. 1) Safari / Mac will display .psd files. 2) SAVE IMAGES PROPERLY.
