The online writing of Alex Payne
A few weeks ago we released a version of the Flickr site tailored specifically for the iPhone. Developing this site was very different from any other project Iâve worked on; there seems to be a new set of frontend rules for developing high-end mobile sites. A lot of the current best practices get thrown out the window in the quest for minimum page weight and fastest load times over slow cellular connections. Here are a few of the lessons we learned (sometimes painfully) while developing this site.
There are special considerations to take into account if youâre shooting RAW and you want to be sure that youâre getting a proper exposure You wouldnât think changing image capture from film to digital photography would require a new way to think about exposure, but it may, depending on how you use your digital camera. This is because a digital camera sensor behaves quite differently from how film and our human visual system respond to light intensity. Digital cameras record data in a linear fashion.
Coinciding with this weekâs release of YUI version 2.2.0, the one year anniversary of the YUI open-source release, and as announced at the YUI Party just moments ago, weâre opening up free YUI hosting from the Yahoo! network to all YUI implementers. If youâre using YUI for your own project, weâll serve the files for you â gzipped, with good cache-control, using our state-of-the-art network, for free. You can count on these files being continuously available because theyâre the same files, served by the same source, that we use for most YUI implementations at Yahoo!.

Each evening, thousands of Americans drift into Chinese restaurants or, if they are too lazy to go out, pick up the phone and order one of the most popular dishes on the menu: General Tso's Chicken, a sugary-spicy melange of dark-meat tidbits, deep-fried then fired up with ginger, garlic, sesame oil, scallions and hot chili peppers. Not one in 10,000 knows who General Tso (most commonly pronounced "sow") was, nor what terrible times he lived through, nor the dark massacres that distinguished his baleful, belligerent career.
