Metro is Totally Gay

Apr

26

2005

I saw the WinHEC keynote speak livel (over the internet of course) last night and when they got to introduce Metro I kept thinking; “What the fuck!” and “Metro is totally gay”. It is so damn obvious that Microsoft is trying to replace PostScript, which does exactly the same thing and has been working, and ...

Firefox 1.0.3.1?

Apr

2005

Firefox 1.0.3 was a serious mistake. It basically breaks any application designed to be used with both MSXML and XMLHttpRequest because it breaks the prototype chain on getters for native objects.

I think I came up with quite a few good subjects to cover here at my weblog. I will be posting tips, tricks and recommendations covering JavaScript, DHTML as well as designing APIs.

I’m in the process to switch my weblog to WordPress instead of MovableType. I’ll try to do the transition to my old theme over the weekend (although the default one looks better).
