FullCodePress is a web competition – the brainchild of the people at Webstock and WIPA. In essence it’s a geek Olympics! The concept is simple. Web teams take each other on, at the same location, to build a complete website in 24 hours. No excuse, no extensions, no budget overruns.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to do something like this in Ireland? Well, we already do something similar with the 24 hour design challenge – but we could do one for web design. Design Week is in November – anyone interested?

It would be great if imdb.com had a stripped-down version if their site for the iPhone, but what would be even better is an iPhone app with the following features:

- Sound detection: just record a bit from a show and it would find the epsiode or movie, just like Shazzam and Midomi do for songs

- Barcode scan: snap the barcode from the DVD box to pull up the details.

- Storage: remember what you’ve looked up and tag it so you remember if you’ve seen it.

- Facial recognition: snap a picture of an actor from the TV and it will tell you what you know them from.

- Sharing: so you can annoy your friends with your awesome taste in movies and TV

Anything else you’d put in an imdb.com iPhone app?

I’m really impressed with flavors.me/irishstu/ – it’s kind of the way I wanted to go with stewartcurry.ie/ where every section has it’s own panel – so great inspiration there!

In the video below the painting appears in the last frames for half a second – check it out.

We’re pretty interested in it here in X Communications (Steph wrote about it as well) as it’s cool to see something you’ve worked on become a small part of pop culture.

They’re talking about it on the Lost forums and other forums too – this Google Group is really interesting, with how much they actually read into things.

DnD Numbers allows you to download a character sheet for Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition – DnD4e – in spreadsheet form, specifically for Numbers on Mac.

dndnumbers.com was designed by Stewart Curry and is maintained by Stewart Curry and Christopher Mehigan.

Our plan is to develop an awesome DnD4e Character Sheet for Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition so that it’s easy to create and level characters using a laptop instead of pencil and paper.

This is quite possibly the nerdiest thing we’ve ever done.

Tab Fail, originally uploaded by irishstu.

Which Tab is active – “Most Viewed” or “Most Emailed”?

When there’s only 2 tabs, a strong visual cue is required to ensure that it’s obvious to people which tab is active and which is inactive.

In the above case, removing the border underneath the active tab and reserving the bold font weight for the active tab would help indicate which was the active one.
