@fraseredwards If you page zoom (ctrl and + ) then set the text size to smallest, it looks like that.

@fraseredwards I’d guess it’s the Text Size setting in IE (View > Text Size)

On iOS 4.3, what happens to apps that already utilize 4 & 5 finger pinch?

@cole007 @olly did it successfully a couple of months back. It seems to be easier now than it was 12 months ago.

@jennifermadine I’m not entirely convinced that’s a good advert for a shop specialising in health and well-being.

@forrst If you write a draft post one day and publish it days later, is there any way to set the publish date to the final publish time?

I must be tired. I just spent an hour working on an .htc fix for an IE6 bug when all I needed to do was change one line of CSS.

@mattfarrugia I recently tried out every available PS alternative. Pixelmator got 90% there but ultimately, that last 10% costs £600 more.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to mattfarrugia

I was about 50% finished building something v similar to this: http://bakerframework.co… this looks nicer, though.

@CharlieABell Regardless of what that says, if it takes 15 minutes to open a PSD, it’s okay to split it. *narrows eyes*

Started a new project purely to give me an excuse to play with document fragments and getElementsByTagNameNS. Glad my work is also my hobby.

If the iPad 2 screen is 264ppi, new apps will consist almost entirely of icon variations. @2x, -72, -72@2x…

Elementals was downloaded from the iOS App Store 6,500 times over Christmas thanks to @andrewsenter mentioning it to @brainpicker. Ta, both.

@paulcurley Handroll it, hardcore: http://t.co/VQJl62x (then use Google Closure)

I was going to complain the App Store didn’t recognise my installed apps until I remembered they’re on a different computer. Stand down.

@gbakernet no, as it was my first very large-scale HTML5 project, I wanted to build up from scratch. I’d use it now, though.

Darn. Bought a cool domain on impulse but my original idea just isn’t cool enough for it. Must think cooler. #cool

@Darcie naturalisation fee(>£800) + new passport + citizenship course = surprisingly expensive.

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Darcie

@Darcie plus, if the UK end up upsetting someone, we can leave the country easily…

via Twitter for iPhone in reply to Darcie

@Darcie @jennifermadine figured we’d be better off saving the ~£1,000 it would cost for her to become a UK citizen.

Currently open apps: Safari, Kindle, Mail, Twitter, Dropbox, App Store, Skype, Voice Memos. Apparently blue is a popular icon colour.
