• Dribbble plugin for ExpressionEngine

  • 2010-07-30
  • dreebbble, dribbble, expressionengine, php, plugin

  Earlier this week, dribbble (what’s dribbble?) announced the release or their API. This seemed like the perfect opportunity to make an ExpressionEngine plugin.

  Meet Dreebbble.

  

  This plugin allows you to display your shots, someone else’s or any of the list available on the dribbble site (popular, everyone or debuts) on your ExpressionEngine powered website.

  The plugin is in its early stages as is the dribbble API and will grow as more gets added to the service. In the meantime, go and grab your copy of Dreebbble and get started!

• iPhone 4 reception issue

  Mashable:

  While the yellow discoloration has been a big issue, the bigger issue seems to be the iPhone 4 reception issue. Hold it the wrong way and you can completely lose your signal. For now Steve Jobs advocates buying a case or not “holding the phone that way.”

  Spencer Webb:

  “The iPhone 4 has two symmetrical slots in the stainless frame. If you short these slots, or cover them with your hand, the antenna performance will suffer … There is no way around this, it’s a design compromise that is forced by the requirements of the FCC, AT&T, Apple’s marketing department and Apple’s industrial designers, to name a few.”

  Is this a joke..? I am so happy that for once, I didn’t rush out to go and buy apple’s new toy. I have always been an early adopter but this time I think I might give it a while before changing phone…

  Incroyable….

• Apple Store coming to Colchester

  David Coe:

  ‘‘It’s just been announced that there is going to be a new Apple Store in Colchester. This will replace the old Barratts shoe shop located at 7 Lion Walk.’’

  And it’s about time! I can’t wait to be able to go and buy stuff without embarking on some epic journey. Hopefully will get some dates soon…

• Google Font API

  • css, google, typography

  Google are joining the fun and have launched Google Font API giving you the ability to embed non-standard fonts on your site.

  It’s not as impressive as typekit or Font Squirrel yet and they’re only offering a handful of fonts but the service is free so hey-ho, let’s see where they take it.

  Have a look at the Google font directory and if you find anything you fancy, read the documentation to find out how to use it.

• iPad UK Pricing

  • 2010-05-09
  • apple, ipad, justsayin

  So the iPad is out and we’re all dying to get one.
  We’ve all been trying our best to convince our partners/friends/family that for whatever reason we HAVE to get one and I’m sure that many have use the “..it’s not that expensive” excuse and suddenly, Apple releases the pricing table for their shiny new toy (via @david_coe) and yes, they’ve done it again.

  What’s with Apple and exchange rates!

  

  I’m really annoyed (again) but as always, there’s nothing we can do. I mean if Apple were to round the price up slightly it’d be ok but this is something else…

  If you live in the UK, you get the 64Gb Wi-Fi for the same money somebody over in America gets the Wi-Fi + 3G one… I don’t know about you but I think this is ridiculous.

  Apple, you suck sometime.
