So I have been looking at Coda + TEA …. as you can use ZEN CODE inside, which will help me with my development speed and the Coda CSS editor is wonderfull

I was looking at how to add extra books to Coda and came across a wonderful Blog post explaining how to do it, along with front covers for each book. So to find out how to add more books to coda follow me …. Enjoy

To me an absolute horrific comment, Internet Explorer is holding back the development on the World Wide Web again.
Lets just remind ourselves that Silverlight Can ONLY be developed under windows, and is not supported on Linux or the web browser Opera…..

What a Shambles.

Lets just show Silverlight is not supported, compared to Adobe Flash….

OS Support Statistics: shows the percentage of computers that do NOT support RIA’s (not detected, reasons for non-detection is because JavaScript is disabled).

OS/RIA Flash Silverlight
ALL 2.36% 57.07%
Mac OSX 11.56% 74.64%
Windows XP 1.46% 61.86%
Linux 3.78% 95.21%
iPhone 98.67% 99.52%

Lower % is better - Stats from riastats.com

In For The Kill – La Roux (Diplo & Bot Edit)

This track is a awesome track, nice mix of drum and bass and an interesting vocal running through, Most people expect a drop that kicks out a load of dark drum n’ Bass beats …. Think again

Check this track out at HypeM

Azzido Da Bass- Dooms Night Dub (Torqux n Twist Remix)

We all know this tune “Whooooom Whoooooom Whoooooom” etc …. Remember how the drop goes?

Check the new drop on HypeM

The XX – You Got the love (F+M remix)

Not a cheeky Drum n’ Bass track but just something that I spotted on my travels

Direct MP3
