About Me

Cindy ProsserSo what is iNet? That’s a pretty good question actually. iNet has had a very colourful history, including having it’s original domain name hijacked, it’s web host disappearing and all manner of problems. Such is the nature of the Internet & what qualifies me to write on it.

In case you are unaware, I am very passionate about the Internet. It is one of mans marvels, right up there with the wheel! I make no apologies for wanting to protect and preserve it. Which is why I originally started the WDC (Web Development Community) in the first place. It was community of professionals that believed in web standards, usability, accessibility, innovation and experimentation. While business commitments caused myself and members to slowly dissipate, it seemed a shame to just let it disappear. So I decided to keep it as my ICT blog and part of the 360inter[dot]net family. So was the birth of iNet.

So who am I? I’m Cindy Prosser the proprietor and head designer of Attitude e-media. I’ve been on the Internet since 1995 and put my first website on the Web in 1998.

I’ve been a freelance lighting tech & roadie with bands in my hey day. Swam with & researched dolphins for about 7yrs. Inherited & ran an outback pub for a couple of years. Traveled the world twice (New Zealand, Hawaii, USA – California, Tennessee, Dallas, Chicago, Georgia, Miami-, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Caribbean Isles, England, Scotland, Rome & Singapore (there could be more!). Married a Canadian while I was traveling, lived in Canada for a couple of years & learnt web design while buried in over a meter of snow for 6 months! Came back to Western Australia & opened up a web design business.

Here I still am, and I still never tire of what I think is one of the best jobs in the world!

Two of my passions are CSS Design & Green IT. The IT industy has the capacity of reducing greenhouse gas emissions enormously. So therefore we invested in running our infrastructure on Natural Power, which is an energy that is generated from renewable sources with minimal impact on the environment. These are sources that cannot be depleted or can be replaced, such as solar and wind. Generating renewable energy produces no greenhouse gas and therefore has minimal impact on the environment.

Pushing the envelope in CSS & leaner coding to achieve effects that usually bog down your machine can mean faster loading times, your work is finished faster, you are using less electricity and you are having more recreation time. Getting things done fast and efficiently while looking good is the name of the game!

In July 2009 I took the mobile office on the road to see really how effective it is. I undertook this journey with one of my contractors & good friend Paul Arlott from Atlantic Web Hosting & TOLRA. It was an eventful journey, and we got to find out a lot about the pitfalls of the UK broadband coverage and how detrimental & costly badly designed webpages are for the mobile web. More to come when we get a chance to write on it. Next journey, testing the mobile web in Australia!
