Dear Intarwebs, what is the deal with Javascript?

2009.11.12 Thu 12:10 A GMT-07
Why does firefox (yeah, it has Firebug so I develop against it) silently ignore errors? Everytime I think I might like some of Javascript, I'm reminded that I hate the runtime environment (development is slightly less painful with js2-mode). Sure i

(Mainly notes for myself). Since I switched over to Gentoo and am running Awesome for a window manager, I no longer have the Ubuntu fonts, cursors are consistent thing going on. Here's some notes, (gentoo wiki used to have this somewhere but it's g

Fun with YUI, IE and JavaScript

2008.02.29 Fri 10:58 A GMT-07

Firefox extension weirdness with Firebug

2006.12.29 Fri 9:21 A GMT-07
The good and the bad of firefox. Firefox is cool (though many times I prefer konqueror which can be snappier and take less memory). What makes firefox cooler are the vast extensions available for it. This gives users the chance to have the web ho

2006.06.28 Wed 8:56 A GMT-07

While attending FOSS.IN, one of the sessions was a website security session. I only caught the tail end, but it felt very similar to a session at OSCON this year by Nitesh. I also attended part of Rasmus' talk where he talked about a tool

TestGen4Web, record/script your interactions with Firefox

2005.10.26 Wed 3:12 P GMT-07
A co-worker of mine has created a very useful firefox extension for capturing interactions in Firefox. By itself this is useful for scripting common things you do with the web that are tedious yet you do them often. (I had an old coworker who had c

Fun with technical support and web standards

2005.10.14 Fri 11:44 A GMT-07
Here's an email exchange I recently had: Hello- I saw the link to your service today on Slashdot. I'm interested in your photo books, yet I don't have a Windows machine. Are you planning to support firefox anytime soon. If so, you will prob
