Five Principles to Design By

Five Principles to Design By. Wise words, there. Good design is much more than making something look pretty, it’s all about problem solving. I wish more people would remember that.

Adobe Creative Suite 3 ships unveiled 27 March

Update: Adobe backtrack on the “ship” wording, say they’re merely “announcing” CS3. ~~Adobe Creative Suite 3 ships on the 27th March~~. This’ll be Intel-native, finally, so no more running Photoshop under Rosetta. I wonder if they’ll do a bundle that includes Lightroom?

Probably the best chocolatier in the UK

L’Artisan du Chocolat, one of the UK’s finest chocolatiers, have finally fixed their website to work with browsers other than Internet Explorer. Their liquid salted caramel truffles are truly amazing; if you’re stuck for a gift for Mothers’ Day they’d make the perfect present.

Ars Technica redesigns

Ars Technica, in my opinion consistently the best all-round tech journalism website around, announced their redesigned website today. It’s a great refresh which makes information access easier while keeping their style consistent, but with a refined look. Fantastic job, folks!

Security exploit in WordPress 2.1.1

Looks like a hacker managed to sneak an exploit into the WordPress 2.1.1 blogging software. If you downloaded it within the past few days your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to version 2.1.2 immediately. Thankfully for me, I update all my WordPress installs via Subversion, which is unaffected.
