Remember the Eolas patent an ongoing court struggle between Microsoft and the University of California? After two years Microsoft is now changing the way Internet Explorer handles ActiveX controls like for example the Flash plugin and Java applets. In 2003 the changes proposed were pretty disruptive since you needed to click an OK on a alert window every time a flash movie was loading.

Since the topic of my last post was all about peeking, you might as well get a kick out of my interview on mcville. Just to lift a corner of the veil, you’ll get a glimpse in my daily routine, my favorite food, etc. Marko’s questions were fun to answer. Hope you enjoy the reading.... and still like me afterwards :-p
Oh, and while you are there check out the other interviews. Some are fun reading.

Hi there, Kenneth here, Veerle’s regular PHP developer (she even called me a php guru once, though that’s overstated). I just came back from AFUP‘s Forum PHP ‘05, the fourth edition of a yearly gathering of advanced PHP programmers in Paris. And boy was it interesting. Two days simply packed with great advice, demos and an insight in the future of PHP. (see the overview of all sessions here)

JavaScript has long been a second class citizen on Mac but thanks to the arrival of Mac OS X a lot has changed. It seems that the use of advanced JavaScript techniques on the web have been reborn thanks to web apps like 37 Signals Backpack for example.
I’m not a fan of using buzz words but hey we are talking about Web 2.0, AJAX or DHTML here ;-) It seems like ages ago but in 1997 I’ve won a Macromedia DHTML award for our company site Woohoo! ;-) But let’s get serious now and talk about the great work the web team at Apple is doing in making Safari a top notch browser. So what about JavaScript and DOM compatibility in WebKit?

“White space” is a property I have never used before…

The well respected digital magazine Design in Flight was cancelled a few weeks ago but now it is back in an online edition. With contributors like Eric Meyer, Jason Santa Maria, Jon Hicks, Mark Boulton, Keith Robinson, Molly Holzschlag, Eris Free and others this is one magazine that should end up in your bookmarks.
Back in April I have written an article about Color Theory: Choosing color combinations that you now can read online for free. So if you ever wondered about the wonderful world of colors maybe it is something for you. Give Design in Flight a try I think you’ll love it. Good luck Andy with your online adventure!

In the past we already talked about the fact that the decoration of your office has a crucial part in creating the right kind of atmosphere for inspiration.

Here is just a short announcement that you, Internet Explorer users, can now scale the text of my blog. Well, since I reckon your patience has been tested long enough, I thought I owe you one.
Not sure but it could be that my stubbornness of using px for my fonts in the CSS stylesheet had a bit of influence to a lot of I.E. users that decided to switch to a smarter browser :-) These stats are not really surprising to me (anymore), but maybe to the 32% I.E. users reading my blog (from the past 2 months, on an avarge of 40 to 42 thousand unique visitors).
Needless to say that the nature of this site is the main reason why I.E. is losing such a big share of the cake.
Anyway I hope this is an improvement and that I made some of you happy.

Here at Duoh! we have been using the Sorenson Video 3 Pro Codec for a long time. We had great results with it and it’s probably one of the best codecs on Mac. That was until H.264 came on to the scene. We haven’t got time to play around with it. Fortunately for us, Jeff Harrell did.
The end score is same file size but dramatically different results. If you’re into video this a good read and leaves us with a pleasant feeling that great things will be possible thanks to this new H.264 codec. Eagerly waiting for Apple to ship the new Final Cut Studio ;-)

There has past some time since I last linked to one of those Yeti games. The last one was part 5. I skipped a few versions because I found them not cool enough to link to. Now they are at part 8 called Jungle Swing. Your Yeti must play Tarzan in the Brazilian jungle and swing from branch to branch.
It’s actually pretty difficult, at least for me :-) The ideal time waster for the weekend if you’re not working that is ;-)
