You Are An ISTJ
The Duty Fulfiller

You are responsible, reliable, and hardworking - you get the job done.You prefer productive hobbies, like woodworking or knitting. Quiet and serious, you are well prepared for whatever life hands you. You are conservative and down-to-earth. You hardly ever do anything crazy.

In love, you are loyal and honest. If you commit yourself to someone, then you're fully committed. For you, love is something that happens naturally. And you don't need romantic gestures to feel loved.

At work, you remember details well and are happy to take on any responsibility. You would make a great business executive, accountant, or lawyer.

How you see yourself: Decisive, stable, and dependable

When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, conservative, and egotistical

What's Your Personality Type?

Last time I did a Myers-Briggs based personality test I came out as ISTP, so this is the same in 3 out of 4 aspects.

Interestingly I recently took part in a team building day at work based on yet another variation on Jung's archetypes. Based on the slightly more in depth analysis (compared to an Internet meme) I came out as something that would be E*T* on the M-B system. So the only thing that everyone agrees on is that I'm Thinking rather than Feeling. Which ain't that much of a surprise

Hey kids, the latest craze is to stack your (toy) animals. Well it keeps us off the streets...

Better late than never, what did I make of @media last week?

• Number of talks that included LOL Cats: 1½
• Number of talks that included Rick Rolling: 2
• Number of talks that included comedy graphs: 2
• Number of talks that included mention of Twitter being down all the time: I lost count, but at least 4

There are a few technical subjects (HTML 5, WAI ARIA, jQuery) that I hope to post more about later so here are a few impressions of each session:

Jeffrey Veen included some of my favourite charts in his talk (I have favourite charts/graphs/maps - what do you mean that you don't?). Indi Young made me think that every single project I'd ever worked on had been poorly planned. Drew McLellan says "everyone hates their CMS" and he's right. According to Stuart Langridge the fact that we use 410 responses on VisitLondon.com puts us in a very elite group. Nate Koechley explained why what I do is really very important. Richard Ishida baffled the audience with Unicode.

Good fun all round, roll on 2009.

Consider the following code:

<form action="whatever" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="a very long string" />
<input type="checkbox" name="confirm" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

In Internet Explorer (confirmed in both 6 and 7) submitting this form with the checkbox ticked results in no response from the server. (Submitting it without the checkbox ticked just brings you back to where you started.) No problem at all in Gecko-spawn or Opera.

Anyone seen anything like that before? And better still, got a solution?

I'm working on a new web site that will be live for the next two or three years, hence I'm keeping an eye on both versions 1.0 and 2.0 of the WCAG guidelines. One of the things that has been requested is embedded videos (similar to YouTube) within relevant pages as opposed to having a standalone video section.

Thinking about embedded video meets accessibility and looking through WCAG 2.0 I've come up with the following:

To meet Priority One guidelines

• Provide a full text based alternative to the video, i.e. a transcript plus a label explaining, more or less, "there's a video and this is the transcript of it".
• Provide synchronised on screen captioning replicating the dialogure and important sounds in the video.

To meet Priority Two (our goal) guidelines

• Provide synchronised audio description (noting changes of location, identifying speakers, etc.) in the gaps in the dialogue of the video.

To meet Priority Three guidelines

• Provide an extended audio description that pauses the video in order to create room for extra information to be relayed aurally.

Does this agree with everyone else's interpretation of the guidelines?
