31 oktober is het weer zo ver: de volgende DrupalJam vindt plaats! Deze keer reizen we af naar de Avans Hogeschool in Breda.

Just found the rest of the people I was supposed to visit PICNIC with. Will keep you posted on the presentations for this afternoon!

We went outside for a walk past several artists and designers presenting their work in tents. I had the privilige of listening to satellites using Yolande Harris' GPS headphones. At the moment we're taking a break at the waterside, since this afternoon's special will not begin for another twenty minutes.

You will probably speak and write a language that's written left to right. In fact, most languages are written that way. I think it would be an accurate guess to say that a lot of software doesn't support bi-directional text, because it was developed in a Western country or at least a country where they use a left-to-right language. This is the cause for a relatively large problem: this kind of software is unusable. What can we do about it?

A few weeks ago Erik Stielstra started an issue to improve Header Image's help section. The two of us spent some time on one of his ideas: dynamic help. Our goal was to create a list of configuration steps that are important to set up Header Image. All steps that weren't executed yet would have to be marked in some way.

Most designers will already know the famous Son of Suckerfish menus. Suckerfish is a full proof solution for creating drop-down menus that work in all major browsers. It uses a tiny piece of Javascript to mimic the :hover pseudo-class for IE and everything else you need is just some CSS for your menu's good looks.

Veel designers zullen de bekende Son of Suckerfish menu's wel kennen. Suckerfish is een beproefde oplossing om drop-downmenu's te maken die in alle browsers werken. Het bestaat uit een klein stukje Javascript om de :hover pseudo-class te imiteren voor IE en voor de rest heb je alleen nog CSS nodig voor de daadwerkelijke weergave van je menu.
