  IE7 content disappears   Tips, Web (1)

  This is not a complaint – it is the solution to an issue that has been puzzling me over the weekend.
  IE8 has been out for a long time – which does not necessarily mean that corporations has implemented it yet. Some large corporations tend to make their business depend on current browser versions – not [...]

  Windows 7 – First learning points   Tips, Windows (1)

  Installed Windows 7 RC2 for the first time yesterday.
  In Virtual Machine
  First installation in a VirtualBox – which worked fine except for the VirtualBox graphics adapter not being accelerated – which meant Solitaire ran extremely slow. Apart from that – no problems.
  Dual/triple booting
  Once the gut feeling was OK, i made room for Windows 7 on my [...]

  Tip: Cool Firefox WYSIWYG blogging plug-in   Human, Tips, Web (0)

  Actually there is no good reason for this tool not to be an independent piece of software – it doesn’t really need to be part of Firefox. But..
  Somehow it just works for apparent reasons. Bloggers do two things a lot: Read blogs and write blogs and that is why ScribeFire is so cool – it’s [...]

  Netbooks – the necessary new design test-tool   Geekyness, Linux, Netbooks, Open Source, Software design, Tips, Web (0)

  Writing this on my Lenovo S10e netbook, I am furious. It’s before mid-day and yet I have had two experiences of software designs that did not consider netbooks a platform – or at least the new low screen resolution these computers imply. And before you call me a whiner (besides the fact that you’d be [...]

  Ubuntu two-finger scrolling   Geekyness, Linux, Open Source, Tips (0)

  My brother is now a fairly long time Mac-user. I haven’t gone down that road (yet). Last night he was here and i showed him my Asus EEE (which is currently running Ubuntu 8.10).
  “Cool” – he said. “It supports two-finger-scrolling”. I didn’t know, but he is right. Googling for it found me this. Apparently the [...]

  Magpie RSS/Snoopy problem finally solved   LAMP, Open Source, Tips (0)

  MagpieRSS IS great – I like it a lot, and it almost does exactly what you need to aggregate RSS feeds from PHP. MagpieRSS has one achilles heel in Snoopy. MagpieRSS relies on Snoopy as the HTTP-client (browser-component) that fetches feeds from websites – be it RSS or Atom formatted – It fetches files from [...]

  Generate PDF files from PHP   Geekyness, LAMP, Linux, Open Source, Tips, Web (0)

  For a web project I needed to create invoices, to be downloaded or e-mailed to clients in PDF format. The platform is PHP and the documentation for this almost exclusively describe PDFLib for this purpose. I am sure PDFLib is fine, and the tutorials that come with the package looks really good.
  But..
  You pay for PDFLib [...]

  Light-weight XML editor   Open Source, Tips (0)

  I was looking for an XML editor to perform a few simple tasks. Since i worked heavily with XML a few years ago, the Windows XML editor of choice is apparently still the Altova XML Spy. You can get it to do anything with XML (except – i think – transform XML to coffee). Negative [...]

  Windows ‘amp tip   Geekyness, LAMP, Tips (0)

  I was annoyed – but not anymore. I have been developing for Apache/MySQL on my laptop for a while, and in the beginning I would start the Apache and MySQL services automatically as I booted Windows. Recently I embarked to minimize the boot time of my Windows installation – and that included minimizing the services [...]
