January 29, 2000 -
Internet Explorer 5.5 beta introduces many new features to
Dynamic HTML. In this
tutorial we'll demonstrate colored scrollbars, element zooming, and first letter
drop-cap attributes. Note: these features will only work with the 5.5
version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.
January 21, 2000 - Our unexpected
move to a new web host recently made us realize we were ill-prepared for
flexibility. It all boiled down to planning, and being primed to be liquid.
So we're introducing a new section to our Tips and Tools, starting with
the fundamentals. Planning your web site involves
a four phase approach — setting your strategy, developing your design,
technical production, and implementation and maintenance. To be effective, work
them in order. Otherwise you will end up with a disjointed hodgepodge of broken
dreams and unfulfilled aspirations.
January 11, 2000 - We mentioned on December 31st that we were going to
institute measures to prevent further outages of our web site as experienced at
the end of last year. Today we signed papers to relocate Internet Brothers
to a different host. Over the next several days we will be making the move,
and will endeavor to make the transition as transparent as possible. During
this process we may need your help. If you discover any broken links, missing
graphics, scripting errors, or any other object that doesn't perform to your
satisfaction, please contact us so we may correct the problems quickly.
Thank you for your patience during this exercise and thanks for your
continued support.
January 8, 2000 - Hewlett-Packard's Microdisplay Products Operation is
working with HP Labs to put eyeglass displays into consumer's hands. With
more and more bits being created, stored, and transferred, industry
will be thinking about how these bits will be used. Many of them will be viewed,
and HP's eyeglass technology may well be the device that transports
the future of displays into the present.
January 2, 2000 - The judges have made their decision. The people who
voted have spoken. It's time to announce the Internet
Brothers Presents 1999 Site of the Year. Drum roll please. Created by
Alma Geddon, It's The End Of The World As We Know It...Again
is an historical overview/personal commentary on apocalyptic prophecy, Millennial
Madness and the phenomenon of Doomsday obsession. Timely is one word that comes
to mind. We won't tell you a lot about the site because we want you to visit it
for yourself, but Alma's writing is superb. While you're there, please offer
Alma your heartiest congratulations. Click the circle at right to see our
tribute to her informative and entertaining passion.
January 1, 2000 - Happy New Year everyone. We hope you rolled over in
good shape. To celebrate this time of new
beginnings and fresh resolve, we've started a new feature on the site today.
Titled Lucid Confusion, we'll offer
semi-regular random thoughts about life and living, the ridiculous and sublime,
virtual vs. real; all hopefully with confused lucidity. We see this as a chance
to share a bit more about us. Maybe we'll even encourage you to do the same.
December 31, 1999 - We owe a big apology to all who tried to visit us
the past couple of days. Since you're reading this, thanks for coming back, and
for your persistence to try again. Our web host suffered a name server outage that
made Internet Brothers unavailable for half of December 29th and all of the
30th. With our reseller partner, Fortress Web Design, we are taking immediate steps to
insure this won't happen again. Thank you for your patronage. We wish you a
bug free Y2K.
December 23, 1999 - Did you ever wonder who the early web developers
were learning from? Heather Champ is a pioneer web
designer, an inspired young woman who has been at it as long as the web has
been around. Creator of the wildly innovative
Jezebel... A Site For Sore
Eyes, and extraordinarily gifted at integrating photography with web
presentation, Heather is the latest subject of our
Interviews with the Masters series.
December 18, 1999 - Arguably one of the most beautiful places on Earth,
God definitely cast his favor on Lake Tahoe.
Located high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the border of California and
Nevada splits its middle. A near-perfect melding of water,
forest, mountains, and sky — Lake Tahoe is one
place we won't soon forget. If you've never been there, perhaps these photos
will help entice you to go.
December 12, 1999 - Gee, go away
on a trip for a couple of weeks and great things happen.
West Virginia Bro high-tailed it to the tall mountains
to visit Colorado Bro in Vail, then on to Reno, Nevada
for some professional development. While AWOL, we received a couple of fantastic
awards. Joe Jenett recognized IB with his
CoolSTOP Best of the Cool
and Andover Net's Tina Gasperson selected us a daily
Tech Sighting.
It wasn't all work and no play on this trip; look for some fun photos from
Lake Tahoe upcoming.
