When I first got a customized Firefox install demonstrated to me I was immediately awestruck by the functionality offered by extensions. Sure, Firefox isn’t the fastest nor the most standard-compliant browser around, but the extensions really got me hooked (thanks, HHJ)! So I did the conversion after having used Opera for 5-6 years. And now, [...]

Last import from the old page
I finally did the last import job from the old blog. I inserted all poems from my old poem page as blog entries. Since they weren’t dated, I dated them once a month beginning from the first one. Feel free to select the «Lyrics and poetry» category from the left menu to browse through them! [...]

The Logitech G15 keyboard
I’m now the proud owner of a Logitech G15 Gaming keyboard. And yes, it’s just as cool as it looks, even though I use the display more for sysinfo and calendar than actual gaming. Having to move your eyes from your screen to the LCD display during gaming just doesn’t work out that well in [...]

Is XHTML supported wide enough for everyday use?
Today I stumbled upon an article by Lachlan Hunt which lists some of the problems with using XHTML for webpages. After having read through it, I was nearly ready to reimplement my XHTML pages in HTML… The main cause for this was IE’s lack of support for application/xhtml+xml content. It won’t render it, but instead [...]

Development in the free world
Lately I’ve done some research for free (as in beer) development environments, both for web and Java. The result was, to put it blunt, a huge disappointment. What actually disappointed me more, was the horrible pricing for commercial solutions with no «personal use only» licenses available. The «can do everything known to man but is [...]

Folder Size – find where the diskspace went
I’ve tried several programs to help diagnose diskspace usage. All of them were stand-alone apps that scanned a specied folder and it’s subfolders, giving you various views over disk usage (folder trees, piecharts and in some cases weird block-diagrams). But today I stumbled upon Folder Size, a superb solution. What it basically does is add [...]

Remove Windows Genuine Advantage Notification
After Microsoft pushed the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (hereafter refered to as WGAN) tool out using Windows Update a lot of people cried out in despair. While I actually sympathize with Microsoft for trying to protect their intellectual property, there were several things that didn’t quite sound right: Microsoft originally assured the press that the [...]

Finding the best way to insert Flash
In my earlier days (before I switched from Opera to Firefox, now I use the AdBlock Plus Firefox extension to block ads) I used to surf the web with Flash disabled. I was actually quite shocked to notice how many websites that just didn’t display anything when read though a browser without Flash support. This [...]

Run several IE versions on one computer
This is a webdesigners dream… Haven’t you wished there was a way to quickly test a page in different versions of IE? If you’ve tried, you probably know that installing Internet Explorer will overwrite any verion currently installed. One install at a time. Bah humbug! The rescue comes in the form of IE standalone distributions [...]

New and improved
I ended up doing a total overhaul of my homepage. I switched from PHP-Update to Serendipity, from a minimalistic design to something a bit more juicy and finally from Norwegian to English. Quite a lot of changes and I hope to do even more improvements over time. :) Everything is imported from the old blog, [...]
