A common misconception seen on a lot of places is that a .kext file is some sort of driver for the Mac OS. That is not entirely true – the kext resembles a driver but does a lot more than just act as a driver! Definition kext stands for Kernel Extension and is an extension used by special files in the Mac operating system (OS). These files are often pretty small and act as an interface between...

In one of my new projects, Thy Old XBOX, I have used WordPress and had a chance to look at its numerous blogging-friendly features. That, and EllisLab’s rather horrid way of handling ExpressionEngine 2.0’s release and the fuss around it, has got me thinking. I am in all honestly wondering whether WordPress would suit me better than ExpressionEngine does. However, I still strongly believe...

Found this interesting read over at ExpressionEngine.com and their forums. It’s about legacy browsers and how to compensate for the time it takes to develop sites for them. Working with Legacy Browsers and Reduced Functionality I also had my own little say in the argument. I don’t fully agree with you, after reading the whole post (a very interesting read, nonetheless).

What a relief! Just finished off the new design, added all the tidbits and copied it over from localhost. This baby had me working for days, and I’m still not a 100% satisfied.

I’m still working on adding the RSS feed and creating the contact-form....

I shall also hoover the Interwebs for design inspiration for the gallery as well as the blog itself. You might happen to see a new UI in the coming few weeks, although school is taking most of my time at the moment. Anyhow, stay tuned,...

The past few days I’ve begun working on a homebrew poll application written in PHP. It utilizes the latest PHP features such as custom classes, objects and functions, working hand-in-hand with AJAX scripts giving it the best performance and functionality available. I’ve only yet started on it, and I have still a dozen or so features left to code, but it’s starting to take shape very...

Why would you want to keep an ugly XML file with references to all your links? How is that necessary in any way? How do you generate it? I’ll try and answer those questions in an orderly manner, but first I will give you a brief introduction on XML. Basically, XML (Extensive Markup Language) is a code-language designed to be as easy as possible to read and interpret, for both browsers and search-engine...
