People-Centric Web

by Ryan Parman • November 5, 2007 • Creating Websites • No comments

Last year, I co-founded a company by the name of Foleeo (which will likely change names because of Palm’s Foleo) that is working on a solution to the ever-increasing rift between record labels, movie studios, and people like you and me who want to get music, movies, and TV shows under far more reasonable terms. [...]


Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 2 (Build 5335.5)

by Ryan Parman • March 22, 2006 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Software, Technology • No comments

For those who hadn’t yet heard, there is an updated version of Internet Explorer 7 available. If you want to run it in standalone mode, Jon Galloway’s IE7 Launcher will do the trick nicely. Lots of information can be found about IE7, specifically improved CSS compliance (hasn’t yet been updated with the current build information, [...]

by Ryan Parman • February 2, 2006 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Software • 12 comments

In response to Shaun (Jan 31, 2006), I took some time to try to get the new IE7b2 release working. This is the download package that was made available as the Internet Explorer 7.0 Beta 2 Public Preview. This version of IE7 writes a couple of keys to your registry. Don’t try to run the [...]

Standards, Invalidation, and Missing the Point

by Ryan Parman • July 28, 2004 • Creating Websites, Software • 3 comments

First, read Darice’s post, then come back and finish this post. I agree and disagree — both concurrently. On one hand, I see people going overboard about making sure that absolutely everything is flawless code, or else they freak out. On the other hand, I see people who intentionally invalidate their code to try to [...]


Letting Go of Legacy Code

by Ryan Parman • July 24, 2004 • Browsers, Creating Websites, Software • 2 comments

Taking my own advice, I’ve updated my “crappy browser” messages to include Internet Explorer 5.5. IE 5.5 is now 5 years old (1999), and it’s time to encourage more and more people to move up.
