supersonic feet

Following a recent trend for ‘live re-designs’, I’ve rashly (it’s 1.15am) decided to start re-designing this website in its live state.

What that means for tonight is that I’ve replaced the stylesheet with a super-basic one, including the reset.css and typography.css files from the Blueprint CSS framework for a quick-start on the whole vertical rhythm thing. I couldn’t quite bare to quite leave it at that though, so I’ve quickly made sure the flickr ‘badge’ at least displays back up at the top of the page where it was along with the main links. Totally untested in anything but Firefox 2 for now though.

The idea (or at least part of it) is that by having your live website showing all the progress (or lack thereof) while re-designing encourages you to get a move on and get something done.

We’ll see

The Gottabet office is a rather multi-national affair and, that being the case, most of the guys just don’t get the whole ‘tea’ thing. As in me and Ken actually get incredulous looks for drinking tea each day.

That’s why I think I’m gonna have to buy one of these mugs I just saw linked on The Big Noob for ‘me cup of cha’ once they’re available and play it up a bit.

At Gottabet we’re looking for a ‘web application designer’ to join the team. The job entails a range of web dev, from helping design various sections/features of the website to implementing them in HTML and CSS.

There’s a full job spec on the website, so if you’re a developer who’s big on web standards looking for an exciting, fast-paced job working on a big social website, check out the job spec and get in touch with Wim and Bertrand (email addresses on the linked page).
