During January I’ve been working with Johnny Van Haeften to create a site for the forth coming summer exhibition ‘Master Paintings Week London‘, featuring works from London’s top top paintings dealers in London’s Mayfair and St. James’s.

Oh and I have some invites too!
During a recent project I decided to implement an image gallery using jQuery for visual effects. I needed a series of thumbnails that would be clickable to update a full size image using nice fade transitions.
Some Googling unearthed Galleria which looked promising, though upon testing and deploying to a remote site I found it to be a little slow and there were some incompatibility issues with Safari.
I decided to create an simplified version to cut out the overheads and hopefully speed things up. This relies on a simple HTML <ul> list with embedded thumbnails with title tags to be used for captions - and for the full image a <div> container.
A new online dictionary and thesaurus launches today called WordSource. It’s main benefit over sites like Dictionary.com is the fact that the site is very cleanly designed and contains no advertisements. You can also look up a word by simply adding it to the URL (so word.sc/example will pull up the definition of “exampleâ€).
I think I’ll stick with my Mac Widget.
