Citybound - The Beginning
SimCity-style game, in progress, being written in JavaScript and WebGL. Looks big, interesting, promising. (via Stellar)

Absolute Positioning and Horizontal/Vertical Centering
Using CSS alone, no JS. I’m waiting for the inevitable real-world use in which this won’t work. There must be one. Surely. There usually is. (via @jamesweiner)

Maintenance
After all that… TextDrive is finally disappearing on March 14th. I now have a lot to do in the next ten days.

@feralibix Wear heels?
@gilest A shame Roo Sheret’s voice is so quiet he needs a mic all the time, but that’s how I tell them apart. Oh, or is that Matt Reynolds?
@rooreynolds So Matt is the one always wearing a hat and Roo is the one not wearing a hat?
Gary Kemp tweeting Boy George about @samuelpepys. twitter.com/garyjkemp/stat…
“@samuelpepys: And a brave George, all of diamonds.”
Was he a Blitz Kid @BoyGeorge?
@paulpod How about a 1746 map? locatinglondon.org
Bugger. MT @antimega: Looks like Textdrive is finally crashing and burning. discuss.textdrive.com
Alternatives?…That's the weekend gone :/
@antimega Oh piss. I might give Webfaction a go. Yeah, good job I don’t have weekend plans. Thanks for heads-up.
@infovore Yeah, sounds like my likely move. I might be alright with the free plan for Pepys and upgrades seem reasonable.
@infovore Yeah, annoying. I haven’t looked into what to do yet. Let me know if you have any clever ideas.
@waxpancake I want to see what's on the fourth wall of all the studio-filmed sitcoms. Eg, what horrors were hidden from view in Friends?
