Mike Davidson has written about his design signature which has inspired me to write about the elements of my web design signature. As he had mentioned, it seems following my signature leads to no or negligible use for IE specific style sheets.
I use ids only if there are javascripts that require one. Makes my styles a lot more re-usable and I don’t have to remember whether I used an id or a Class in the HTML when I write my CSS code.

Keyword Autocomplete lets you add autocomplete functionality to your site's search forms based on previously searched strings. The module saves keyword strings entered in search forms and increments a counter for the strings on subsequent searches. It then populates an autocomplete on search forms from these saved keyword strings in order of the most searched keywords to the least.

I found myself book-less on an MRT ride and looked around for something to do. I chanced upon the 10% Power Savings Campaign one of which claims:
Standb power can add upto 10% of your bill. Switch off appliances at the power socket to save about $50* a year!
* based on electricity tariff of $0.2388 per unit KWh, assuming 35W of standby power in a given home.
Now, it stands to reason that 10% of my monthly bill equals about $4 of power savings ($50/12) per month. Does that mean my monthly bill is only $40?
I had long been fascinated with all things African. It is the only continent where you hear more about genocides than any actual development. It is quite unfair because there are actually peaceful nations in Africa and a lot of creative development goes on there because of the poor infrastructure of many nations.
I have been reading a lot of Science Fiction/Fantasy books lately (as you might see on my list of books read).
A great video on the decision-making that goes into designing pages of a magazine.
With that, the first video enters nimbupani domain!
I caught Rashmi Sinha's slideshare presentation on How to Startup which had this slide in it. My interest was piqued because it equally applies to bloggers who want to measure the success of their blog.
I read Lifehacker: 88 Tech Tricks to Turbocharge Your Day which was surprisingly available in the NLB. A lot of it is already covered in The Best of Lifehacker in Upgrade Your Life (the set of sources for the second edition of the book). Here are a few things that were new and interesting:
Lhmdesign has an excellent write-up on how the website was redesigned with Drupal with great tips for bloggers using Drupal. A couple of tips I found extremely useful:
