Advent Calendar Blog: The 1st

My chocolate Santa

It’s the first day of December today and the Christmas countdown has formally begun. To mark the occasion, we thought turning our blog into a makeshift advent calendar would be a rather festive idea and so throughout the month we’ll be posting images of (sometimes only mildly) related seasonal greetings. Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Come to our party

It’s that time of year again, which means only one thing. Party! However, this year every one of you is invited! Don’t start picking your outfits just yet though as, unfortunately, we don’t have room for you to physically tag along. However you still get to enjoy keeping up with our goings-on virtually by visiting the Dusted Christmas Doo Live Feed. It will be updated all day keeping you informed of our activities and showing you photos of us at the various locations.

A run on the pound

Since the value of the pound has been dominating the news, I wanted to write about a more positive note on the pound. Prime Minister Gordon Brown launched an outward attack on the Conservative Party after the party’s shadow Chancellor George Osborne warned that the collapse of sterling would be down to the government’s ambitious plans to spend its way out of the economic crisis.

Gaucho beats Belgo and Café Rouge!

Gaucho won Best Group Website Award at the Caterersearch.com Web Awards 2008 last night beating Belgo and Café Rouge into the top spot. Dusted designed and developed the current Gaucho site as part of a major re-branding and positioning exercise in 2006 and since then has maintained and looked after the site to ensure it stays ahead of the competition.

Feed me Seymour, feed me

Sam here at Dusted asked me “what Blogs do I read?”. I said, “where do I start‽”. Strictly speaking I visit very few Blogs, but I do subscribe to several Blog RSS feeds. So for Sam’s enjoyment, and hopefully yours, here is my list. Read the rest of this entry »

Progressive Degradation

I love a good buzzword. Two of the more recent ones in web design are these multi-syllabic beauties. Graceful Degradation and Progressive Enhancement. They both address the issue of the unknown quantity of the end-user’s browsing technology. Are they using the latest, greatest shiny browsers or are they keeping it retro (whether out of choice or not)? Are they on their mobile phone or on their Xbox 360 attached to a 50″ HD screen? How your site appears and functions on these various technologies depends, in part, on these two techniques. Read the rest of this entry »

Christmas briefs

I think everyone would agree Christmas just seems to get earlier and earlier. I’m sure when John Horsley designed the first commercially available Christmas card in 1843 (yes, I did have to Google that top fact…) he wasn’t thinking about it as early as September! Around mid-December, when the BBC are showing re-runs of The Wizard of Oz and Tesco have already started discounted tree decorations, that’s when I start ‘feeling Christmassy’.

Moving images taken with a DSLR

The quality of DLSRs has vastly improved of late, but as with all great technology, doing one thing really well just isn’t enough. Video recording has been a feature on digital cameras for a while, but I have never seen quality like this from any stills camera before. Read the rest of this entry »
