About a month ago I wrote Browser Elitism and Browser Elitism Part 2. These posts saw fairly high traffic and got quite a few comments. So much so in fact that I didn’t find it very easy to comment properly and address the points that people were making in their comments. A few days after I set out to “solve” that problem, only to find out weeks later that Jonathan Snook had done something similar in his post Experiment with position: fixed.

Cool that we came up with similar ideas at almost the same time. Spooky that we only live about 10 minutes from each other. I love that the fixed comment form was integrated into Jonathan’s 78th redesign. I, on the other hand, am not quite ready for a full redesign, but wanted to implement the functionality right away.

Registration is now open for Web Essentials ’05, to be held in Sydney, Australia, September 29-30, 2005. WE04 delivered 14 sessions – this year’s edition expands to 22 sessions with 7 International speakers, and 10 Australian speakers.

Everything I’ve heard about WE04 is that it was, quite simply, an oustanding conference. Hopefully I’ll be able to contribute to people saying the same about WE05 — I’ll be making the trek to speak about accessibility at WE05. I’m really looking forward to seeing some of the many people that I met at SXSW 2005 in Austin, and to meet more people that I’ve only ever met over the interweb.
