This example looks at the problems with the usual solution and a new solution that works when proportional fonts are used. - Nick Bouton

Friday at 2:04 am - Link

The Internet has added an extra dimension to video gaming: You don't have to be in the same room with someone to go on a Xbox shooting rampage together, or play Scrabble, or whatever. The problem: How do you know when your friends are at their computers or videogame consoles playing a game so you could join up? That's where new social network Raptr, launching today, comes in handy. - Nick Bouton

Custom WordPress Hooks and Filters in Thematic 0.6

Wednesday at 4:57 pm - Link

Thematic version 0.6 is an upgrade I didn’t intend on making so quickly and there’s been some changes. Here’s a weird one: when every other WordPress theme author is desperately trying to add more and more settings to their theme options page, I took an option out. Even weirder: it made the theme better. How? I started adding custom hooks and filters to Thematic. - Nick Bouton

Extending battery life on the Dell XPS M1210 | mouldy.org

Wednesday at 11:31 am - Link

own a Dell XPS M1210. I bought it because it was powerful and small and kinda lightweight. I didn't buy it because I wanted to sit on an aeroplane and work. Nonetheless, it'd be nice to get a bit more battery life out of it. There are a lot of reviews out there raving about the battery life, but that's the review models sing the 9-cell battery. It's an 80 watt-hour pack that sticks an inch out the back of the machine, ruining advantage number two: small size. So I bought the 53Whr 6-cell battery and only get two and a half hours of battery life. This laptop is a power hog. - Nick Bouton

Particularly if you are out of time and don’t want to compromise your professional principles selecting the first “quick-n-dirty” solution you can think of. To get things done, you need inspiration and creative thinking. You need fresh ideas and elegant approaches. And you need to be able to find them as quick as it is possible. Handy references and examples are therefore both useful and enjoyable - after all, who can resist gorgeous, professional, elegant and visually appealing designs? - Nick Bouton
