Coolest-looking Lamp Around?

Introducing you to the SoL R38. It’s a highly efficient modern LED lamp with power-saving in mind as well as long life of operation, performance (the light itself is crisp and white) and heat emissions. And best of all, it’s coolest on the block. Buy a few of these and you can turn any dull […]

Should we give Legacy Users less Features?

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.

Windows 7 – why redesign Paint?

Welcome to another one of my rants. This time it’s about Windows 7 and it’s about the redesign of applications like Paint and Wordpad. Have a look at these two pictures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Win7paint.png and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Win7wordpad.png. Isn’t that just the most annoying thing you’ve ever seen?

Broadcasting a Video with XFire (exclusively on this blog!)

You most likely have not seen this in action yet. If you have, then you’re probably really eager on how to do it, and if you haven’t you probably want to see how it is done anyway. I was at least, and I am perfectly normal! What is all this about? XFire introduced Live Video […]

New Design (again?)

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. But hey, at least it’s better than the old one? As you can see from the bottom menu, I’ve used some jQuery […]

Outbreak of WWI An Austrian envoy, Count Hoyos, brings a letter from Franz Joseph to Kaiser Wilhelm. The letter says that Austria-Hungary will crush Serbia militarily on the condition that she would receive German support.
