iPhone, the morning after

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

My Treo stopped syncing in January and I immediately started missing all my meetings. I need the device to ring every few seconds to remind me to blink and breathe, so life without a properly synced agenda was awful — just ask my colleagues. Guppy brain.

A Palm user for the past eight years, I made the switch to an iPhone 3G a few weeks ago. I’ve had one palm or another since I was gifted an S300 and became (shockingly) a productive member of society. I vaguely want to give the iPhone a fair shot, aware that my bias toward familiarity is inevitable, however there are a few things about the iPhone that totally and completely suck.

Video, Yahoo!s latest performance breakthroughs, or — I’m famous!

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Well, not quite. ;) But I am pleased with the results. Who would have thought that the shy girl who almost failed a public speaking course at university would turn out to really enjoy presenting. Turns out I only like speaking about geeky things, preferably to geeks. A limitation perhaps, but far less limiting than nearly peeing myself with fear in college. No, not literally.

Anyway, check it out. It is jam packed with brand new performance ideas to make your site fly.

Yahoo!’s Latest Performance Breakthroughs

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

The Exceptional Performance team at Yahoo! added 20 new performance rules and refined some of the original rules. I’m really excited about this; this performance goodness is just what developers need to accelerate the user experience even further.

  1. Flush the buffer early
  2. Use GET for AJAX requests
  3. Post-load components
  4. Preload components
  5. Reduce the number of DOM elements
  6. Split components across domains
  7. Minimize the number of iframes
  8. No 404s
  9. Reduce cookie size
  10. Use cookie-free domains for components
  11. Minimize DOM access
  12. Develop smart event handlers
  13. Choose <link> over @import
  14. Avoid filters
  15. Optimize images
  16. Optimize CSS sprites
  17. Don’t scale images in HTML
  18. Make favicon.ico small and cacheable
  19. Keep components under 25K [mobile]
  20. Pack components into a multipart document

Stay tuned, we’ve got more tricks up our sleeve. ;)
