To fish it out, or not to fish it out

By Jonathan + August 31st, 2005

Have you ever dropped something into the toilet and stared down at it, floating in your urine, and said, "How much do I want that back?"  I always knew it was a possibility, but I was never fully prepared for that one day it would happen to me…until tonight. 
I’m sorry fly-button, I’m going to [...]

Wiki v0.1.3 Alpha

By Jonathan + August 30th, 2005

Got some version history viewing added to the wiki component, and made a few more enhancements to the DOM wysiwyg editor. Make sure you check out what happens when you’re editing and you hit F2…then again…then again

Demo v0.1.3 (Mozilla/Firefox, IE, Safari)

Wiki v0.1.0 Alpha

By Jonathan + August 28th, 2005

I completely rewrote my "Webpage WYSIWYG" editor to traverse the HTML DOM, so now it’s a little happier with HTML tags I also integrated some basic wiki functionality that runs completely off Ajax for now (no server-side includes on the page itself).
I’m trying to find the easiest way (possible) for visitors [...]

Naked Cylons

By Jonathan + August 27th, 2005

Personally, I’ve always lived by the motto "Naked Cylons, are good Cylons."  But naked Cylons can also be angry Cylons.
Either way, this week’s Battlestar Galactica (Home, Part 2 - 2×07) was hug-er-ific!  [INSERT INSIGHTFUL, BUT SPOILER WORTHY, COMMENTS]  You won’t find many actresses who can pull off really-pissed-off-while-completely-in-the-buff

Scifi Convention

By Jonathan + August 27th, 2005

I went to the SFX scifi convention today.  Never have I been so weirded out by little girls.  The things I saw…that’s just not right!
I did stand within 1 metre (that’s as close as I get to human contact) of Troi (if she really was an empath, I would have gotten slapped),  Hoshi [...]

Being a Web-Developer: "Our job is basically selling birthcontrol to fat 15 year olds."

Webpage WYSIWYG v0.0.3

By Jonathan + August 25th, 2005

Omg, you don’t want to know what it took to switch this over to fully DOM instead of using innerHTML. I had no choice if I wanted to use these little things called “HTML tags”. Perhaps you’ve heard of them, but they are little b4stards!

I broke a heck of a lot of the [...]

Webpage WYSIWYG v0.0.2

By Jonathan + August 24th, 2005

Did away with the mouse dragging business.  I’m now setting the cursor to the closest (white)space to the right of the word you click on, determined by coordinates within the paragraph.  Hopefully it’s a little more user-friendly,
Also got it running in Internet Explorer so all the Windows folks can join in ;-)  Might work in [...]

Webpage WYSIWYG v0.0.1

By Jonathan + August 23rd, 2005

UPDATE: v0.0.2 demo now available 
Like I mentioned yesterday, I’m a big fan of the unobtrusive wiki. However, any time you start jamming a WYSIWYG editor into the middle of a page, you are no longer "see(ing) what you get".
I want a wiki where you can click anywhere and start typing, working within the [...]

HTML2XHTML Converter

By Jonathan + August 23rd, 2005

All this does is generate XHTML from the DOM, but might as well jam your ass bad HTML into the browser and start converting from there, right?

Oooo, XHTML *drool*

HTML2XHTML Converter
HTML2XHTML JavaScript Converter (H2X) generates a well-formed XHTML string from an HTML DOM object.
H2X could be used in Content Management Systems (CMS), online wysiwyg html editors [...]

Jessica Stroup discovers a new algorithm for network efficiency

There’s nothing I like more than efficient network routing. NOTHING! So that’s why I was delighted that some computer scientists at Uni[...] Read the rest »
