Joe's Laws of web editing

with 2 comments

  • All blogging tools want to be content management systems when they grow up
  • All content management systems wish they were as simple to use as blogging tools
  • All wysiwyg HTML editors are capable of creating HTML they can’t edit
  • Its quicker to learn to fly a plane than to learn Dreamweaver
  • Its quicker to learn to fly a helicopter than to learn the Gimp
  • “Save as..” HTML usually means turn that document into HTML line noise
  • Nobody trusts their CSS hand edits (and nobody should)
  • You can nest your tables in HTML and you can also stick your face in the fan, neither are advisable
  • Apparently their are some Mac users who build their sites to work in Safari first. They also find themselves trying to pull their pants on over their shoes

Ideas Park : Payment Gateway for Credit Cards

with 2 comments

We pay for a whole host of stuff on a monthly basis at PutPlace. Everything from hosting to dynamic DNS. All those payments are processed by debit a credit card based on a number stored at the vendors site. So for all those annual and monthly payments I want the payment to be processed through a gateway where I can authorise payment before my credit card is debited. In this way I can cut off a given provider without cutting up my credit card or withhold payment for poor service.

Would the merchants like it? Probably not, would you, the customer like it? Yessirree.
