Ryan Berg

I write a blog, link to interesting sites, update statuses, and work on fun projects. More about me.

I am a user experience designer in New York, NY. I also do freelance web design and development.

@ryanmgreene Internet sentiment is a bullshit excuse.If they stay, KU fans will be welcoming the Henry bros with open arms. No doubt.

At the park in NY keeping @jlsisme's nephew entertained http://twitpic.com/8z2e7

Just got home to Jackie's sisters, where there was a creepy goth kid sitting at the end of the hall. Laughing as we tried to unlock the door

July 2nd 2009, 12:16 a.m.

Being tourists around NYC with the rest of the Berg family, and @jlsisme as tour guide.

Trademark violation much? http://twitpic.com/939h0

@LJWJKealing our frontpages can get pretty heavy. It'd be just as inconsiderate to make them wait through a full load to find a mobile link

July 2nd 2009, 8:38 p.m.

@LJWJKealing agreed. If you can't redirect to mobile version of that page, dont redirect at all

July 2nd 2009, 9:21 p.m.

Off the train in Somerville, NJ. Looking for refreshments, then off to our hotel... Somewhere else near here in NJ for the wedding.

July 2nd 2009, 9:40 p.m.

@illWay that's the way to do it

@scott_mccaughey At least your old boss spent his money on some damn fun rides

July 3rd 2009, 4:54 p.m.

@almcafee ugh. I wanna go to a buck night vs the white sox! Eat another hot dog for me

July 3rd 2009, 9:50 p.m.

@jtauber That's exactly how we started building HTML/CSS for Scripps' latest newspaper sites. Direct to template URLs with proper extension.

Checking out the Princeton campus http://twitpic.com/99lii

@mattheisig Sounds like a miserable day on the water, I'm sure

July 4th 2009, 10:54 a.m.

@mattheisig Make sure to leave no undone task in your wake

July 4th 2009, 12:49 p.m.

Back at the hotel after a lovely 4th of July wedding/BBQ

July 4th 2009, 9:46 p.m.

@LJWJKealing Congrats!

July 4th 2009, 11 p.m.

On the ground in Chattanooga. 100 miles of highway still separating me and @jlsisme from a couple hours in a comfy bed.

July 6th 2009, 12:25 a.m.

Home late but safe in Knoxville. Time to rest up for a long week at work.

July 6th 2009, 2:43 a.m.

Doing all the work I did last week all over again after templates were deleted while I was gone. What a waste.

July 6th 2009, 10:24 a.m.

@onemoreryan Nope. I'd edited the templates live on the server, was waiting for a code push to verify they worked before committing changes

July 6th 2009, 12:57 p.m.

@simonw I too prefer indentations all up in my blank lines

July 7th 2009, 10:49 a.m.

This is one of those weeks where TextMate rocks my world.

July 7th 2009, 10:47 a.m.

@jacobian Slicehost is highly-recommended at https://djangofriendly.com/hosts/ Mosso hasn't had a lot of activity (it's still pretty new)

July 7th 2009, 10:57 a.m.

@fimoculous Our sites at Scripps (http://www.redding.com/ for example) were inspired by MSNBC's horizontal groupings as well

July 7th 2009, 7:53 p.m.

It's late. I'm finally heading home. And not working on anything even remotely productive.

July 7th 2009, 10:23 p.m.

@logancollins Eesh. ku.edu has been trying so hard this last half decade but still can't get it right

July 8th 2009, 8:24 a.m.

Regretting upgrading to FF3.5 so quickly at work. Even with latest updates, Firebug is wonky and YSlow won't work at all for me.

July 8th 2009, 9:35 a.m.

@codekoala So far Firebug b07 seems a bit better. Also, my "View Source" actually views source again today, thank science.

July 8th 2009, 9:52 a.m.

@xemion I'm on the 3.5 release, with Firebug and YSlow updated this morning. So far Firebug 1.4.0b7 seems better than b5. YSlow ain't workin

July 8th 2009, 9:51 a.m.

@codekoala Yeah, empty view source pages sucked. Can't directly connect that problem to the Firebug plugin, though. Regardless, it's fixed.

July 8th 2009, 10:14 a.m.

Busy with the Scripps UX team prepping to launch a couple new sites for Knoxville this afternoon.

July 8th 2009, 10:21 a.m.

@kevingraves Have any good downgrade instructions? Would hate to bork a plugin or favorites or something like that.

@ryanmgreene drool I'll be havig me some of that in August

@clint Most of my clicks attempting to get YSlow to show something (Grade, Components, Stats, etc) have no effect. Nothing happens at all.
