Tis the Season

24 December 2003

The holiday season is always good for the web. It’s the time of year when talented and imaginative people get some time off from their regular gigs and get a chance to play with those personal projects they’ve been dreaming up all year. Come January, there’s usually a new batch of toys and fun stuff to play with. Hooray for time away from work.

I’m pretty much sticking around and celebrating Christmas at home with the family, and also hoping to get my teeth into some code. No doubt I’ll be posting about it before long (probably moaning). Whichever festival you celebrate at this time of year, have a really great time and stay safe. :)

  1. § Brian: Hi Drew, thanks for the good wishes and for providing a page I actually look forward to reading.
    I don’t profess to understanding all of it but perhaps 2004 will remedy that.....
    All the best to you and yours and I look forward to contributing in some small way in the new year.
  2. § tomjleeds: As Brian said, I don’t quite understand all of it, but that’s purely due to my ignorance! Your site will be staying in my Firebird ’Bookmarks Toolbar Folder’ long into the future!
  3. § Drew: Cheers, guys. That’s nice of you :)

About Drew McLellan

Photo of Drew McLellan

Drew McLellan has been hacking on the web since around 1996 following an unfortunate incident with a margarine tub. Since then he’s spread himself between both front- and back-end development projects, and now is Director and Senior Web Developer at edgeofmyseat.com in Maidenhead, UK (GEO: 51.5217, -0.7177). Prior to this, Drew was a Web Developer for Yahoo!, and before that primarily worked as a technical lead within design and branding agencies for clients such as Nissan, Goodyear Dunlop, Siemens/Bosch, Caburys, ICI Dulux and Virgin.net. Somewhere along the way, Drew managed to get himself embroiled with Dreamweaver and was made an early Macromedia Evangelist for that product. This lead to book deals, public appearances, fame, glory, and his eventual downfall.

Picking himself up again, Drew is now a strong advocate for best practises, and stood as Group Lead for The Web Standards Project 2006-08. He has had articles published by A List Apart, Adobe, and O’Reilly Media’s XML.com, mostly due to mistaken identity. Drew is a proponent of the lower-case semantic web, and is currently expending energies in the direction of the microformats movement, with particular interests in making parsers an off-the-shelf commodity and developing simple UI conventions. He writes here at all in the head and, with a little help from his friends, at 24 ways.
