When designing web sites and then performing QA/validating I have found the Firefox plugin “web developer” to be invaluable. (I am finishing up jappler.com and my validation this weekend). You can easily view all your CSS elements, validate your CSS, outline tables, view page information, even view a page’s speed report. I would highly recommend […]
Well, yesterday after hours of frustration and CSS style sheet number three, I started thinking that what I wanted was not possible…not even close. Thoughts entered my mind like : “maybe I will forward all IE users to a nice web site on standards” and “maybe I could pdf my web site and make users […]
Well well. Who says you should settle? I decided to completely re-write my style sheet and I have almost everything down for both IE and Netscape (FireFox, Safari, Netscape) browsers. Some things I still need to look at are the bulleted lists on the right (blog) and some other details. I again feel like I […]
How many times have I heard that perfection is never achievable? Well, after countless hours (and when I mean countless, I mean over 60) I have decided to release the newest version of jappler.com. I have to still finish my IE CSS style sheet, but other than that, I am going to say that this […]
I have been using BBEdit Lite ever since I learned HTML back in college. I have never owned a full version because I use Adobe GoLive’s source code editor for any of my source code needs where I like to have an auto-complete option when writing code. Thanks to Bare Bones Software, I can now […]
Well, now that I have spent countless hours working on mastering CSS and also getting back to my color scheme of choice (not sure what it is? you will have to wait) I am getting ready to release yet another version of jappler.com. I am finished with my site style sheet for NS browsers and […]
In my latest bit of training, I learned about sed and awk. sed is a line editor (stream editor) (scripting with ed). awk is a pattern-directed scanning and processing language and divides each line to fields by separating words by spaces or other specified field separators. Some tidbits about using sed to quickly edit files: […]
No, the site was not hacked, I chose to write about regular expressions. I am in my last section of my UNIX/Linux Systems Administrator training and I am equally excited about regular expressions as I was about learning subnets. I know regular expressions are very powerful, and I remember enjoying subnets after I finally figured […]
There are some days when I cannot work until I am happy with my desktop picture. I have been known to scour certain web sites for the perfect desktop picture and I like to think I am familiar with the top desktop picture web sites (per my taste) but I was stunned to find a […]
I have finally had enough. A few days ago, I decided to start using JunkMatcher with Mail.app because my spam was out of control. I am pleased to say, I am very happy with it and plan to continue using it. On another spam front, I recently had to turn to moderating my comments with […]
Well, my friend Ben accidentally passed a link on to me that I wanted to pass on to others. If you use Firefox and you want to speed up your web surfing when you use your broadband connection, check out this cool guide.
Back in November when I went to the World of Coca Cola with my friend Doug, we sampled flavors of pops from all over the world. Today, I have finally had a chance to post pictures of what we sampled. Some good, some bad, but none better than Coke itself. PS. Stay away from pop […]
