So I put together another microfocused blog (is that a buzzword already?): IE Death March. On this blog you’ll find links and posts about web developers and companies staunching the bleeding that is developing for Internet Explorer 6.
A side note about these microfocused blogs: I’ve found it’s way easier to produce content for a site [...]
Eric Meyer has created a quick and dirty demo that shows us how elements in HTML 5 can become hyperlinks.
He had an issue where it wouldn’t show any visited “links” properly, and seeing a need for it, I tossed in a few lines of very dirty javascript to fix it. The javascript inserts some [...]
We’ve finally launchedstevejobsfacts.com. That makes the 3rd project to launch in 3 days. So yeah, I’m a bit tired.
So tired, in fact, that it took me one month, and sixteen days, and five hours to actually click the publish button.
I can’t believe how crazy busy we’ve been. On top of moving, and travelling the globe, in the last couple months, I have somehow managed to find time to start redesinging and rewriting the interface and software that power one of our websites.
In the last 24 hours even, I managed to launch a new [...]
I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, complete with the MultiTouch trackpad. One issue I have with it, is that I can’t use the pinch zoom gesture with web based maps or images. It increases font size, instead of zooming. So I donned my cape and exclaimed “This looks like a job for JAVASCRIPT!”
First, I [...]
Since Leopard released, I’ve been using Spotlight as a launcher. It works surprisingly well; however, I’ve run into a couple things. One of which being if I type “terminal” into spotlight, the “Top Hit” is OpenTerminalHere.app - which if you launch it without any finder windows, it would error out.
Now I *could* have just [...]
A friend of mine, GutBomb, added some Bingo checking to my iPhone Bingo javascript. However, as of this moment, I have disabled the alerts. I’ll be working on an alternate notification system.
Also, I noticed the blog at manzzana.com had an interesting use for this little app: they used it to display their predictions for Monday!
Feel [...]
I started putting something together.
After John Siracusa announced the One True Card for 2008, I wondered why he didn’t link to the iPhone version like he did last year. I figured it out, though, once I remembered last years MacWorld the iPhone was still a dream. How did we live before these things?
In any [...]
I posted a terminal command about 7 months ago about cleaning up SVN working directories. Unbeknownst to me, wordpress chewed up the code and spit out a useless shell of the command’s former self.
Here it is again, in all its glory:
find -d “your/working/directory” -name “.svn” -exec rm -r ‘{}’ \; -print
I needed it this time, [...]
With all the general grumble about the Safari-is-the-SDK-for-the-iPhone on the internet, I figure that… hey, if the internet *is* where all the iPhone apps are, all web apps are iPhone apps. So, I made a badge.
Feel free to include this image on your Safari Tested™ blog (or web app) if you feel like Steve is [...]
