Temporary absence
For the next few months I will be on a combination of parental leave and vacation. Well, that isn't completely true since I still have one week of work to get through, but when June comes around it's time to switch off and unplug my computer.
That isn't entirely true either. I won't actually be unplugging my computer all the time, but I will not be checking my email regularly (i.e. don't expect a response if you send me email) and I will try hard to avoid reading any blogs or keeping up with what's new in the world of web design and development.
The current plan is to return some time in September, but don't take that as a promise. Neither do I promise not to break the silence if something that calls for a quick post shows up ;-).
See you later, hope you stay subscribed, and thanks for reading.Add 456 Berea Street to your Technorati favorites.Posted in Life.

Validation statistics from Nikita the Spider
About a year and a half ago I mentioned Nikita the Spider: a bulk validation and link checking tool as a useful quality assurance tool. Well, Nikita the Spider has received a lot of fixes since then and has recently been taken out of beta. It is no longer completely free, but the first 125 pages it crawls will cost you nothing.
But what may be more interesting is what Nikita finds when it crawls a site. Philip Semanchuk, Nikita's author, has analysed the statistics Nikita collected during March 2008 and walks you through the results in By The Numbers – March 2008. A few highlights:
The most common validation error is neglecting to specify an alt attribute for img elements
The second most common error is failing to escape ampersands
XHTML doctypes are much more common than HTML doctypes
Over sixty percent of the crawled pages use a transitional doctype
Of course these statistics are only representative of a very small sample of the pages that exist on the web. In addition to that, those pages live on sites that somebody has actually asked Nikita to crawl, so it is likely that they are more aware of web standards than the average website owner/author/developer.
It's still interesting reading though.Add 456 Berea Street to your Technorati favorites.Posted in (X)HTML, Web Standards.

The news is that now anyone can display job listings on their site. You can also make some money when someone you refer posts a listing on Authentic Jobs.
To display job listings you will need to apply for an Authentic Jobs API key, and once you have that you can start doing all sorts of with the job listing data. Find more details on that in The Authentic Jobs API Documentation.
Even if you don't want to display job listings you can become an affiliate by applying for The Authentic Jobs Affiliate Program. Once you're approved you will get a personal code that you can use when referring people to Authentic Jobs. For each new full-time listing posted as a result of your referral you will get USD 75, and for each freelance listing your award will be USD 25.
If you're completely new to Authentic Jobs, it is "a targeted destination for standards-aware designers and developers and the companies seeking to hire them." In other words, it is a place where companies looking for modern web professionals can find talent.Add 456 Berea Street to your Technorati favorites.Posted in Job openings.
