    regardless, I have stopped generating a new blog post for each tweet, too many posts. #
  • Has anyone noticed FF3 doing strange things with padding at the bottom of images? It seems to push out the containing div by about 3px #
  • In at work early today, listening to a Ben Folds Five bootleg and working on the Christchurch regional tourism site. #
  • Just found out that firefox doesn’t display bullet points when the li is set to display:block; Who Knew? #

A change of scenery

Last Friday we had a re-arrangement of desks and rooms at work. I’ve shifted downstairs to a room with the other two designers. Its going to hopefully allow us to be a little more collaborative in the way we work, but we will see how we go.

What has been a bigger change, however, is just sitting in a different spot, facing a different way. There is a lot more going on in my peripheral vision, with two other people in the office as well as an external and internal window. I guess I have to get used to ignoring movement out of the corner of my eye. But overall it is seeming like a nice change.
