Ajax, AjaxPatterns
As foretweeted last week, I created a little Ajax app called BlingText.
As you can see, it takes a message and provides some ASCII renderings. In particular, it includes a port of the old UNIX/C Banner utility.
If I do more work on it, the main improvements will be:
Options. Let the user specify, for [...]

Ajax, AjaxPatterns, Favicon, HTML, Javascript, Web, Web 2.0
I updated the favicon library a while ago, for a couple of projects I haven't released for various reasons. Anyway, Phil asked me about it, so I thought it's a good time to package it up and release it properly. And in the process wrote up Taking Browser [...]

I've just updated my favicon library, which I first wrote about here. I'll explain more about the update in a separate post. For now, I want to talk about browser tabs.
Browser tabs were introduced by Opera. Then Firefox adopted them a few years later, as did Safari. Then Microsoft stepped into the '90s with their [...]

CSS coding style doesn't get a lot of play. Most people are happy to stick with the convention of one property per line, like this:
PLAIN TEXT
CSS: #score { background: yellow; width: 12em; border: 1px solid orange padding: 2em; margin: 3em 0; display: none; }
I, for one, can't stand that style. I'm heavily biased towards information-dense coding [...]

<gush> Firebug is awesome. Joe Hewitt is a legend.
As I've said before, Firebug is among the most usable software tools ever developed. I don't just mean compared to other software development tools. I mean against all user-facing software. It's single-handedly improved my Ajax productivity by at least 100% (that's my estimate when making changes to larger [...]

Jeff Attwood recently pointed out the difference between Gamma et al's Design Patterns and Alexanders' equivalent and outlined a critique of the former which characterises it as "replacing actual thought and insight with a plodding, mindless, cut-and-paste code generation template mentality".
First, I want to note that the critique above surely defies belief to anyone who [...]

p style="clear:both; margin-top: 2em; "> Man, JSON has come out of nowhere! I first came across it amid the Javascript hype in early '05, now it's everywhere. Not only in your Ajax apps, but in the On-Demand Javascript APIs of the world.
Sharing an ethic of simplicity with Rails, it's not surprising these technologies have come closely [...]
