Back again
All good things come to an end and so did my vacation. After relaxing down in sunny Croatia, I’m now back keen on creating new stuff, writing tutorials etc. Hope I can answer your mails as soon as possible.
A List Apart
Well some interesting things happend while I was away: Most siginificant of course the complete redesign of A List Apart, one of my favorit web sites - even though new articles were somewhat rare within the last couple of months. Anyway, the new design is really strikingCongratulations Jason — excellent work. Hopefully we will see a bunch of new articles in the near future.
Desk
Furthermore I stumbled upon a great design study on creativebits. Afterglow presents his idea of how an improved finder could look like. Actually it’s a combination of the desktop, the finder and the dock, that provides the functionality to create projects, to access your last queries and to display the contents of the clipboard-
The blue “Function Bar” on the right hand side contains context sensitive functions that changes according to whether the selected item was a folder, image, mp3 etc. Well actually quite similar to the task pane of Windows XP or Vista.
Design in Flight
Due to popular demand, Design-in-flight is back — in a new online format, including some new featues such as a update feed (RSS) and commenting. Great.
New Server
And last but not least I’m glad to tell you that Bartelme Design is now hosted on a new server so you should notice a notable speed pump. By the way I had to make changes to the DNS server, which is the reason why I wasn’t able to post earlier. Anyway, have a great day, Wolfgang.
