 | 18 Apr 05:01 Every time I start a new project I'm always trying to do things better than I did on the last project, it's the way for all developers. One thing that has always bugged me is trying to get the base text size the same across all browsers, but now I've totally dropped the idea of supporting [... 7 Apr 23:07 I'm a big fan of trying to use a common vocabulary to describe things, especially when working with different departments, companies etc. - the more people you have involved the more important I believe that becomes. So I was wondering how designers (I'm talking about visual designs here, UI etc.) refer to designs, I've heard some [... 3 Apr 07:08 I've come across this problem before, where I want to hide the overflow of an element, this works fine in all browsers except IE - however it's never been a problem in anything that I've progressed far enough with to worry about fixing it for IE. Well this evening I came across the problem again, and [... 30 Mar 05:06 I'm currently in the very early stages of a new personal project that we're really excited about. It came out of an idea I had a couple of days ago when I got frustrated with a situation I was faced with in work. Now we're on the short road to getting something designed and built [... 28 Mar 18:41 I had the following date string from a data dump file 11-APR-07, without looking at the Coldfusion documentation I pass the string to lsParseDateTime() and dump the output to see if it parses the string correctly, which results in {ts '2007-04-11 00:00:00'}. Great it worked! So I move on to writing my test case (yes, yes [... 26 Mar 05:32 Something I've been meaning to do for a long time now is to create a couple of back end implementations for my JavaScript Image Cropper UI (I really need to come up with a snazzy name for that) - obviously that hasn't happened. I have noticed a couple of implementations appear in the comments, we are [... 2 Mar 19:20 I and a small team have been writing a small application in PHP using CakePHP, which we all have an ongoing love-hate relationship with. However we have been thinking that to really get things moving forward quicker we might move to Coldfusion. We currently have a dedicated server which runs my family of sites which [... 22 Feb 00:43 I was called over to Stu's desk earlier today when he asked me "Dude, have you heard of Ralio?" (which is a Java Coldfusion - CFML - interpreter or engine). "Yes I have", I replied. "Just imagine for a second you didn't know about it and take a look at this", he said pointing to the Railo [... 11 Feb 08:25 A very, very generous donation I received yesterday for my JavaScript Image Cropper UI reminded me of a conversation I had with my friend Martin Laine quite a while ago during an instant messenger conversation when we both happened to get donations for our separate coding projects (him for his fantastic Audio Player Wordpress plugin [... 29 Jan 07:58 Ok, so before you get too excited it's not really a fully fledged version fantastic Firebug Firefox plugin, but the lite version does go some ways to easing your cross browser development. If you're not aware what Firebug is, the official site quote is: Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your [... | | |
