SEO/ Accessibility video
When I was told that our Fronteers conference talk on Accessiblity and SEO was being videoed, I warned my co-presenter, Vasilis, not to watch himself under any circumstances. (Though you might want to watch it- transciption “coming soon”).
He didn’t heed my warning, and told me today “I didn’t listen to your advice, I watched part of the video of our panel session. I haven’t left the house since and I only talk when it’s dark (-:”
I only managed to sit through 30 seconds – long enough to tell myself to
- stop fidgeting
- stop chewing gum
- lose 10 kilos
and was somewhat chastened to see the first Google ad next to the vid says “Cut down 9 lbs of stomach fat every 2 weeks by obeying this 1 tiny rule”. Even Google thinks I’m fat—the bastard.
Couple of other things:
- The second batch of the Opera web standards curriculum has been released. This deals with CSS. I particularly like the articles by Tommy Olsson, who has a knack of finding simple terms to explain difficult concepts like inheritance and cascade, floats and clearing and the different positioning models (static and relative, absolute and fixed).
- Our monthly State of the Mobile Web report is out: this month is on the “long tail effect” in which users spend a lot of time looking at the less popular Web sites. I’m very interested in matters mobile, now I’m officially a member of the W3C‘s Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group.

Somebody at google saw our presentation!
Great presentation and very handsome co-speaker. Good points although the audio quality is not great and you do fidget a lot
