Keep those rows in line with this little jQuery snippet
I’ve recently needed this little snippet of code a few times over the last couple of months, I’ve never seen it documented so it’s probably obvious to anyone who isn’t me. But I’m going to stick it here just in case there are other people this has annoyed. The situation: you have a series of […]

THE
ADVENT CALENDARS THAT EVERY GEEK ABSOLUTELY MUST SUBSCRIBE TO!!!! Excuse the Smashing Magazine-like title. I couldn’t resist. I increasingly seem to be subscribed to more and more tech-based advent calendars, it’s a nice gimmick which pretty much guarantees 24 days worth of solid content on varying topics. So here are (at time of publishing, I might add more as they appear) 5 to check […]

Github: Lowering the barrier of entry for open source
Open source is great. But really, raising a bug and submitting a patch for a few documentation issues is more trouble than it’s worth. I’m stupid and lazy, so don’t contribute too much code to open source, but I am very anal. I hate stumbling across spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that anyone could fix, […]

Gears for AMD64 on Ubuntu and a brief hello
Coincidentally, it is a year today since I updated this thing. Whoops. I might keep it updated in due course, but I’ve got other commitments for now, so while it may get the now-and-again treatment, don’t expect anything regular. I actually came here to post a link (something I’d usually save for my ma.gnolia page), […]

oooh – shiny!!! (now with added book reviews)
It took slightly longer than a week, but dammit – the new styles have been applied. They’ve been tested against nothing but Firefox2 on Linux at 1024 (I did have a peek at 800×600, but it made my eyes hurt. So for now if you care that much, you can upgrade your computer or buy […]

Eurgh – nudity!
My last post promised some proper content that week. That was quite a lie, wasn’t it? Pick your excuse – work, personal life, coming of age – they could all be applied for why I am yet to update properly. This place looks like it was neglected, however I have done a complete redesign offline. […]

A quick apology
Anyone on my feed this morning would have experienced some link diarrhea in the form of the Ma.gnolia feedburner link splice thingy. I apologise, in the future you’ll only get good stuff – most of that was crap which I bookmarked for other people / later perusal. I will be back later this week with […]

You know when you’ve been Twango’d
You take one Django app (this monstrosity, which I mockingly label “my blog”), you take one completely exhausted Ruby On Rails app with a nice simple API but as much stability as a menstruating Dr Jekyll (in this case, Twitter) and what do you get? Well I kinda ruined it with my hilarious entry-title, but […]

the elusive commenting system
BDT (yeah, third post in, already acronym-ising this thing) finally has one of them there commenting systems. Check it out below if you don’t believe me. The delay The reason I was holding back was because I wanted to “hand-roll” my system for maximum control. Yeah, this is a gross violation of “don’t reinvent the […]
