I always wanted my name painted on the office door.
Not the dance; the CMS. I am setting up some sites using it, and as I dug in, I found some of the generated html code to be - as I described to my client - hideous. (Sorry Mambo guys… just not my style.) But, I hopped online and posted my woes to their forum, and got [...]
There’s a little chatter out there concerning a site I’d never heard of called The People’s Cube. They appear to have been banned by Google. Since they are apparently a politically right-leaning site, conspiracy theories flew and the apparent banning drew more attention. But it seems most likely they simply got caught doing a sneaky [...]
OK, so I don’t even know how I ended up here, but it’s just too cool. “Overunity” is the idea that you get more energy out of a system that you put in. Normally, it’s equal (unity). It’s one of those holy grail ideas; if you can get more out of a system than you’re [...]
I have this image of Google as a benevolent servant robot from 1940s science fiction that is ever-learning what its masters want and cheerfully providing it. Until, one day, its brilliant master plan becomes evident only via the repentant hindsight of mankind’s subjugation. That said, hey, look at this cool new thing Google’s built! (via) Google [...]
I’ve been interested in weather since I was a little kid with my little home weather station. I know. Dweeb. Anyway, some years ago, I got to mix that interest with my geek work while I was working for Digital Cyclone helping build different bits of My-Cast, which I still use daily. Well, something new is [...]
Xyle Scope is pretty much everything I’ve ever wanted in a CSS app. Minus the little feature requests I’ve now already asked for. :) A great tool for examination and troubleshooting, learning, and live editing and correcting. Exporting reformatted style sheets is sweet. I will finally be cracking open my legendarily tight wallet and ponying up [...]
Somehow, between WebSTAR, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, and Safari, I got locked out of this blog. It wouldn’t take my password. I couldn’t get in even through a “back door”. Ugh! Well, it’s fixed. And I’m being more vigilant to see if I can discover what happened.
I had to get this “out there”. Everyone figures on seeing an Intel-based machine - maybe a laptop. And a more media-center-ish Mac. I’m throwing a Bluetooth-enable iPod in the mix, too. Seems like a no-brainer. UPDATE: Shows what I know. :) Grrr. Where is the Media Mac?! Well, anyway, check out the newest if you’re interested. [...]
An Advent calendar for web programming geeks.
Well, it turns out this page was crashing for my mom and Helen; both on Mac OS 10.3 using Safari. I thought it might be the Greek text via Unicode below, but it turns out it was the graphic of Jack (below) which I’d saved from Apple’s Preview! Bad JPEG. Hmph. Well, it’s fixed now. [...]
