I’ve always been against Adobe Flash. It’s slow, CPU consuming, insecure, painful to work with and overly very user unfriendly. Finally my dislike for Flash is being met with by powerful companies who are all now rallying against Flash and pushing towards HTML 5.

YouTube supports HTML 5 to rid Flash
YouTube has just launched an opt-in beta to support a HTML 5 instead of the flash player that we’re used to. If you’re like me you try to avoid using Flash where-ever possible, and HTML 5′s video support is a step closer to a Flash-free web.

HTML 5 is coming [video]
So unless you’ve had your head under a rock for the past year or so you’ll have heard about HTML 5. But what’s to be expected in HTML 5 and when can we start using it? Well, you could start using it today in theory, however the full HTML 5 spec isn’t quite finished meaning browsers haven’t rolled out all the features. So who’s on board and what exactly can you do?

It’s all about me…
Time to take a brief step back from the usual chatter – and tell the world about me! For those who don’t know, my name is Jason Stockton and I am a web developer from Melbourne, Australia. The reason I started this blog was because all too many times I’ve come across issues when developing sites that I could just not find solutions for. Often I’d waste hours trying to find the solution when usually it’s really simple. Thus I started this blog to hopefully save people a little bit of hair pulling and then eventually premature balding. I believe for the most part the blog has been successful for helping a number of people with various issues.
I’ve also just released a website about me and my web development so check it out!

Enjoy! Feel free to let me know your thoughts of the site =)

Long time no post
It has been a while since I have a had a chance to keep everyone up to date with solutions to common and uncommon problems and all the other goings on in the web world. There is 2 reasons for this, the main one is a web development business is booming as businesses prepare themselves for the foreseen “recession”. The second is I have released my first major website in Beta. It’s called NexTunes, and it is an Australian Social Music Network site, be sure to jump on at www.NexTunes.com.au and let me know your thoughts! I’d hoped to add new features to it by now however time is not on my side at the moment…

Stop internet censorship in Australia!
The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access, not to mention block many sites from being accessed in Australia.
Despite being almost universally condemned by the public, ISPs, State Governments, Media and censorship experts, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy is determined to force this filter into your home.
