PandaForm is a new form building service that lets you put together online forms via a simple drag-and-drop interface. Payment processing can be incorporated, and a mail merge facility is included so that pre-filled, personalized forms can be sent out to your users.
Once you’ve signed up (a very painless process), you can get to work creating forms straight away. The drag-and-drop interface is fairly intuitive. Most users probably won’t need the friendly tutorial video on the form building in order to get going, although certain aspects of PandaForm aren’t quite as straightforward as I would like. In particular, the way that you can apply a “two-column” CSS class to the form that results in changes only to the published form and can’t be seen in the form editor may take a little getting used to.

Suomi-Neito is a distant, but weirdly parallel echo of ‘Paula’, the personification of Brazil’s Sao Paulo state (discussed in #471). Female like most other anthropomorphic representations of geographic entities (1), this Finnish Maiden shares with Paula the extra distinction of not only symbolising her nation, but also literally coinciding with its geographic shape.
The Finnish Maiden reminds me of the lament by a Finnish friend, a bachelor recently returned to his home country after years of working abroad: “All the women in Helsinki look identical. It feels like you’re going out with the same woman over and over again.” A luxury problem perhaps, as that same woman probably looks a lot like the Finnish Maiden: a tall, blonde, blue-eyed woman in her mid-twenties (braided hair, bare feet and folkloristic costume in the national blue-white colours are optional).

Over the years, I have reviewed the accessibility of a number of sites. This document outlines ten common accessibility issues I have encountered which could result in a site’s failure to fully comply with WCAG 2.0. The document includes links to some of the WCAG 2 advisory Sufficient Techniques provided by the W3C for addressing each issue.
Please note: This is not intended to be a complete list of all possible accessibility problems and the order of the items is of no significance. For full details about WCAG 2.0 go to the “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines” W3C Recommendation 11 December 2008.

WebWarehouse (WWH) is a web-based solution integrated with the manufacturers’ internal logistics systems to enable proper information flow between them, the warehouses, hauliers and customers. All integration between Communicate and the manufacturers is already done, and because no software installation is necessary at the warehouse, implementation and training only takes about half a day.

The Social Object, in a nutshell, is the reason two people are talking to each other, as opposed to talking to somebody else. Human beings are social animals. We like to socialize. But if think about it, there needs to be a reason for it to happen in the first place. That reason, that “node” in the social network, is what we call the Social Object.

Tampereen yliopisto on järjestellyt ahkerasti digimedian koulutusta ja tutkimusta viime aikoina. Tuorein liike on Hypermedialaboratorion nimen muuttaminen informaatiotutkimuksen ja interaktiivisen median oppiaineeksi.
Nimenmuutosta perustellaan mm. hypermedia-termin liialla teknologiapainotteisuudella. Termihän on syntynyt aikanaan 80-luvulla ja sittemmin jäänyt lähinnä tutkijoiden käyttöön.

Tampereen busseista vain yksi linja tuottaa enemmän kuin siitä on menoja. Voittoa kertyy 13 senttiä matkalla.
Loput 32 linjaa tuottavat tappiota muutamasta sentistä useaan euroon matkaa kohden.
