Last summer, I posted about a strange problem I was having in Internet Explorer. The browser wasn’t properly drawing certain elements to the screen, namely <hn> tags with background images, colors, or borders. It was all very frusterating. In the end, I just chalked it up to Internet Explorer sucking, and left it alone. Recently, [...]

A couple of people have asked me how I’m able to list the recent posts for nearly all of the blogs I read. The answer is simple. PHP, RSS, and the Magpie RSS Parser. At one point, I made available the PHP code that I use to do it, once Magpie is already installed. If [...]

I just wanted to say hello to those of you who are visiting me from The Web Standards Project, and a big “thank you” to Dave Shea for being kind enough to mention me in the latest WaSP blog post, “Browser Testing“. If you’re just visiting for the first time, I’d like to point out [...]

After being envious of Todd Dominey’s “Enjoying” sidebar for quite some time, I decided to do some messing around to get my own as well.

This section began as part of the “Articles” section, then branched off into it’s own “Propaganda” section, before becoming [...]

I’m down to my last week-and-a-half of college. I’ve got seven more class days, including today. If my posts are few and far between for the next two weeks, this is why.

Here are a few interesting reads from around the world wide web this evening. Microsoft trying to control blogging. Gator tries to shed it’s self-inflicted unpopularity by changing it’s name to Claria. Napster’s back (well, it’s pretending to be…). MSN splits in two. Mozilla Firebird is a viable (and better) alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer. [...]

I’ve discovered a nifty little MT plug-in called “Acronym”. It takes many of the common acronyms and abbreviations and gives them a keen little description that is visible on mouseover. Some of the more common ones are CSS, XHTML, W3C, IE, NS7, IE5/Mac, and US 508. Actually, it’s just my way of testing out what [...]
