For many people, being accessible means switching from <var>font</var> tags to <abbr>CSS</abbr>, using <var>em</var> tags for italics, and replacing <var>table</var>s with <var>div</var>s. <em>THAT IS NOT ACCESSIBILITY!</em></p> Fri, 15 Sep 2006 21:05:00 GMT http://www.sorcerers-isle.net/article/miniemotes_maximised.html <p>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.</p> <p>The <a href="http://www.hybridchill.com/projects/miniemotes.html">new edition of MiniEmotes</a> now uses alpha-transparency to ensure they look good against any background.</p> Tue, 01 Aug 2006 19:30:16 GMT http://www.sorcerers-isle.net/article/computer_activate_the_dilithium_crystals_and_proceed_to_warp_nine.html <p>One of the great things about OSX is that it lets me talk to my computer.
