Hello everybody! By now, you’ve already seen it but I’m testing a new design for my blog. It’s still very rough, lacks a lot of templates, has a broken navigation, but I’m getting there… oh, and also, the sidebar isn’t there yet… But I’m working hard on it
Ever since I’ve used XOOPS, back in early 2004, I have supported this CMS. But situations are now forcing me to stop supporting this CMS – being attacked by people isn’t something I tolerate. I wish the XOOPS community the best of luck. It’s a bit of a shame some of my upcoming projects (a module configuration module, completed for 60% now that can control stylesheets and adds a theme control page like seen in [...]
Ever since the last few weeks, I’ve been working on something that I’ve called “Sugar”. It’s my first theme based on the blank theme by Kris, which is a fantastic framework to work with! Sugar is 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional and uses some very modern techniques using CSS3 (such as: rgba shadow on the forum avatar, alpha transparency on hovering over images, rounded corners). This means that it won’t render as intended in older browsers [...]
Yesterday, 28 June 2010, my pet rat passed away on an age of about 3 years and a half. She died a silent death and did not suffer – she went out like a candle in the wind. Mitsy has always been our sweetheart and she was the best pet rat you ever could imagine: so very sweet, she always was there for us and she always could cheer us up. I’m adding some picture [...]
After the upgrade to WordPress 3, I thought it would be good to run another theme while I wait for the final design to come through Kevin

Well, I must say, that is one thing I didn’t see coming. I’m happy to see that Apple is open enough to allow another browser on the iPhone. A good evolution! But this doesn’t change how I think about Apple: it’s a bossy, censoring company. Remember those incidents with exploding iPhones/iPods? Apple tried to give the persons affected money to keep it “silent”. Another thing is that Apple refused to repair an iMac because it [...]
Sometimes, you have to think what’s more important: speed or features. This time, I’m not talking about Firefox and IE, but rather about Outlook and Thunderbird. I’ve been using Outlook for a time now, but I’m thinking seriously of going back to Thunderbird. In fact, it’s going to be the first thing I’ll do when I get at home. Nowadays, most decent antivirus software and antispam software works together with Thunderbird, and since all of [...]
As a long time Ubuntu user (my first version was Feisty Fawn, I think… That’s over 3 years ago), one of my biggest issues has been Flash. If you use Windows, you might wonder why, but if you use another OS, like Mac OS or any Linux distribution, you know the problem. In the beginning days of YouTube, when you wanted to see a video ‘fullscreen’, the video just opened in a new, bigger window [...]
It’s a common thing lately… Everybody prefers another browser. I’ve been using Firefox from before the 1.0 release, and I haven’t regret using it yet. In a time when tabbed browsing was new and only a few browsers had it, it was an enlightenment to get a nice browser that was able to do that. I remember that I used both Slimbrowser as well as Firefox in those days, but Slimbrowser disappeared to the bin [...]
