Stylesheets

By Eric Peacock | Published: June 19, 2003

Yes, I know the stylesheets tend to look a little funky under IE for Windows (but not Mozilla/Netscape). Apparently using margins on <body> under absolute positioning wasn’t such a good experiment for that browser. Safari under OS X is a bit whacked, but only on the top margin, however that browser is still beta so [...]

Version 6.0

By Eric Peacock | Published: June 14, 2003

Hello, my name is Eric Peacock and this is the sixth major revision to my web site. Along with the usual under the hood geekery this revision puts the content forward by incorporating years of my artwork in the gallery section. With the acquisition of my first personal scanner I’ve been able to scan hundreds [...]

IE Changes

By Eric Peacock | Published: June 13, 2003

Confirmed from Microsoft on this very day: Internet Explorer for Mac is dead and the Windows standalone is no more until Longhorn ships in 2005 (or later). Inevitable perhaps, but after the release of version 5 for the Mac OS I gained a realization of what web standards could do when things actually worked to [...]

iTunes

By Eric Peacock | Published: May 17, 2003

A bit of a rant: The success of the Apple iTunes Music Store has brought about many subsequent debates about compressed audio quality – more specifically the quality of Apple’s offered AAC (128kbps) versus MP3 (256kbps or better). I’m not a professional audio engineer by day, but I majored in audio production & music in [...]

Ems & Pixels

By Eric Peacock | Published: May 4, 2003

I’ll be switching the site stylesheets to using ems instead of pixels soon. I think it’s time to go that route, at least for text formatting. In the past I’ve had a great time designing “liquid” sites with ems, at least before I discovered the issues that can come up. Since I exclude older browsers [...]

Scans

By Eric Peacock | Published: April 12, 2003

After around 200 scans I’m still many hours away from launching the changes and update to this site. I’m adding old work – history – so I wan’t to do it all at once. One seems to learn a lot when evaluating their own creations after ignoring them for many years. Impatience.

Coming Soon…

By Eric Peacock | Published: March 23, 2003

My big 2003 update to this site has begun. While that happens these live pages have begun to languish. There isn’t much I can do about that with all that is going on (I’d rather be focused). The new look is really where this was supposed to go before, but I guess I needed the [...]

CSS

By Eric Peacock | Published: February 21, 2003

During some hazy post-nap moments I began to sketch out some heavy new designs for these pages. All very unexpected as I’m planning content revisions and fixes, not new designs. I may use them too… Oddly this new superflous designing is on top of working out a handful of other sites for varied clients. Odd [...]
