I'm a designer/developer posting what I work on and anything else I find interesting on the web. Enjoy!

svn st for specific status

svn st | grep -P ‘^(?=.{0,6}A)’

Yea, Subversion isn’t the cool kid anymore version control but I still use it at work and I do a lot of svn st commands. This one above works well when I have a lot of changed files but want to zero in on just one type of status. 

Substitute “A” for any other status (C, !, ?, M, etc).

Using CSS masks for icons would have the benefit of being able to create a large icon-set and easily swap textures, colors, shadow effects. And also animate them. Basically everything you can do with CSS backgrounds. It could also be used for other stuff like tooltips, speech bubbles, funky shaped buttons and so on.
We need more crazy frontend and backend developers like this guy. More experimentation and more creativity.

What are the best times to post to your favorite social media platforms? Bitly crunched the numbers and here’s what they found:

Twitter
Post 9am-3pm ET, Monday through Thursday
Especially post 1-3pm ET, Monday through Thursday
Avoid posting after 8pm ET during the weekends
Avoid posting after 3pm ET on Friday and at all on weekends
Facebook
Post 1-4pm ET during the week
Especially post midweek 1-3pm ET
The very best time is Wednesday at 3pm ET
Avoid posting between 8pm ET and 8am ET during the week
Avoid posting on weekends
Tumblr (graphic posted above)
Post from 4pm ET onward
Especially post from 7pm-10pm ET onward, with Monday and Tuesdays being good
Post on Friday evenings

(Sounds about right. Tumblr’s popularity in the evening supports my assessment that everyone likes to live-blog TV.)

Of course this is incredibly useful information. Now to start planning my tweets.

Responsive Web Design: Missing The Point

The point of creating adaptive sites is to create functional (and hopefully optimal) user experiences for a growing number of web-enabled devices and contexts. It’s not because it’s “the right thing to do”. It’s not because it’s fun. It’s not because it’s trendy. It’s not so you can impress your boss by resizing a browser window.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Every site you work on should be about creating the best possible experience for the user. They are indeed our customer in the long run.
Work on a settings page design. Still early but I’d say it’s off to a good start!
