  Will ideas of the Massachusetts law spread?   MySQL, Open Source, Software design, Web (0)

  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 [...]

  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..

  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.

  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.

  Attention Profiles may filter news better   Geekyness, Human, Web (0)

  Amazon profiles you by the books you buy. Google sponsored links are displayed by the contents of your gmail e-mails and general website interests. All “Big Brother” considerations aside – this is clever – or at least technically interesting. There are risks of evil marketeers profiling you down to the bone, but on the other [...]
