A few items of note going forward

Main Content Inline Small

For Now: The Rimfya Car is out of commission! Through some unfortunate events it's probably been turned into a cube by now so you won't see us around town in it any more.

Coming Soon: From July 1 we'll be using a new invoicing system. We currently invoice per-project, on completion. The new system will switch to regular (weekly) invoicing as work is completed at an hourly rate. Just a heads-up!

For the Future: Thanks everyone for all the feedback regarding a name change. We're sticking with Rimfya! Your feedback pretty much summed up what I already knew; it was too... Forceful.

The Flexible Web

Here's something pretty incredible. With the rising popularity of devices like iPhone and iPad for browsing the web, browser size has never been a bigger issue. 'Back in the day' all we had to think about was everyone's 800x600 resolution 14" screens. 

Now with screens of many sizes and resolutions it's harder to please everyone with the one layout.

Flexible layouts like these are still likely to be rare. However it's a great case study in how to make content and design fit the device, not force the device to accept your design!

Type Tip: Bullets and Punctuation

When writing a bulleted list, it's important to know whether to use capitals and full stops or not.

If the bullets make up an entire sentence, start each bullet with a lower case letter and finish the last with a full stop.

The Rimfya car has been recycled into:

  • carpet underlay
  • a washing machine
  • hot dog meat.

Treat each bullet like a sentence, if they are!

We miss the Rimfya car.

  • It was roomy.
  • It had armrests.
  • It had fancy stickers on the side.

This guy probably doesn't have a job to put this amount of time into his performance; but it's totally worth it.

Makes gaming sound legitimate.
