Sorcerer's Isle

Welcome to Sorcerer's Isle, a weblog covering a multitude of topics, ranging from programming to 3D graphics; photography to gadgets; tutorials to tinkering.


Within Sorcerer's Isle are three sub-blogs, which each focus on different aspects:

At Sorcerer's Tower you'll find programming and web dev; Midnight Isle covers photography and digital art; and with 100% Geek you'll find gadgets, gaming, technology, and more.

Articles may appear on just one of the weblogs, or across multiple, but every article posted will always appear on this one.

Topics Covered

Accessibility Is Not CSS!

The biggest barrier to creating an accessible Internet is not browser support or badly designed syntax, but rather people's false beliefs of what accessibility is; what it means to 'be accessible'. For many people, being accessible means switching from font tags to CSS, using em tags for italics, and replacing tables with divs. THAT IS NOT ACCESSIBILITY!

MiniEmotes Maximised

I have upgraded my old set of minimalist emoticons, which were 8-bit black-on-white and didn't look good on anything other than a white background.

The new edition of MiniEmotes now uses alpha-transparency to ensure they look good against any background.

"Computer: activate the dilithium Crystals and proceed to warp nine."

One of the great things about OSX is that it lets me talk to my computer. Of course, I can talk to my Windows PC too, but I don't need to be halucinating to receive a reply from my Mac.
