Shell scripts, JavaScript pedantry, CSS fixations, Java debugging, and the rest of the polyglotism.
Google Web Alerts could be cool… “How to Be a Programmer” — featuring important skills like “How to Debug” … of course, I’ll be shooting this link to some of my team members… MacWarriors build a better browser history with Trailblazer.
Mo’ XSL ish for your eye-hole. (Been a while since I blogged the geeky core of my soul out on this madness.) Problem: Generating well-formed xml-based FAQs that are easy to read and (even!) pretty (if there is such a thing) is all well and good. But who wants to read through a whole huge […]
After the Tomcat madness, we turn our ear to some folks from work and begin looking in to Resin as an alternative and perhaps better app server. I think I’ll need to jump in somewhere around 1.2 and run from there. Again… All this just to run XSL transforms on the server side. I have […]
In brief: Overloaded at work again (so soon) is roughly equivalent to being unavailable for comment on much of anything. It felt great this weekend to blog a little about assorted things but guilt overwhelms when I think about what’s waiting for me 1st thing Monday a.m. *le sigh* HOWEVER (comma) renewed efforts on the […]
Been messing around with Cygwin for a while now to run bash (in all of its emulated glory) on Detonator-3. In addition to the uber-alles g33kiness of it, I’ve been excited b/c one of the advantages is that I can supposedly run sshd for secure remote access. One of the problems (however) is that the […]
Exposé on Windows. Everyone knew it would be soon. But maybe not this soon. Of course, Linux had the first clone. More geeking out… After trying drunk and at 2:30am w/ Eli to try and compile it on my iBook (results were inconclusive…), come to find out some kicked out a whoop-ass installer for Apache2 […]
One of those, “Here is an awesome article that I want to save for later” moments. Neat little number that spells out some web-design technicalities/techniques. Nothing new, I guess — but I did finally learn what “ems” are for on the web.
SO… in response to my revelation about encryption, I figured the only way to save the massive headaches involved with constantly copy/pasting the new sets from encrypted to unencrypted root folders was to automate it. Well, to script it anyway. And b/c OS X is a essentially a cool ‘nix front end, we can do […]
So, ever since the OS X.3 “Panther” upgrade, I’ve been blaming myself for fxxxing up my hosts and/or Apache configuration. This one was just plain escaping me. I was using the same damn httpd.conf as I had been before… I’d gone into NetInfo Manager and removed my added “machines” and then re-added them. Based on […]
so i got past the first phase, ascertaining that although it should work, it does not: … mouseOut.pageItems[i].pathPoints[j].anchor[0] -= 180; … Consequently, my elegant solution was axed in favor of a much clunkier (though functional) one … but before I could even get that far … it also became necessary to realize that the object […]
