  • Double Wide Gmail?

    Published: 3/23/07 6:51 AM
    by: Rob
    I sat down in front of GMail this morning to compose a message to the CF-Talk mailing list and I had this vague sensation that something was amiss. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I honestly didn't think too much about it. After a minute or two, though, I think my neck started getting tired ...
     

  • That Annoying AOLSystem Guy

    Published: 5/8/07 6:30 AM
    by: Rob
    Lately, it seems like I've been on a mission to drive out all of those annoying aspects of technology that, for all of their (usually) good intentions, just get in the way of what I want to do. Tonight it was that AOLSystem user that keeps sending me messages when I'm logged in from multi...
     

  • Quirk : CSS Expressions in IE

    Published: 6/4/07 7:51 AM
    by: Rob
    So by now, most web-centric developers have come to the stark realization that IE sucks (although IE 7 shows progress).  While this is true, there is often an IE-specific workaround to its own suckage.  Today's quirk is brought to you by one of those IE-specific workarounds.

  • Mac vs. Windows : Typography Rendering

    Published: 6/12/07 12:42 PM
    by: Rob
    I've always hated the way web page typography renders on the Mac.  It's blurry.  No, not exactly blurry.  Fuzzy, maybe?  Hell, I don't know what it is, but on-screen text is nowhere near as crisp and clean and readable as the same text on Windows. I never under...
     

  • Fogless Mirrors...Aren't

    by: Rob
    You know those mirrors that mount directly in your shower via one means or another and claim to offer a means of shaving while showering because they're not affected by the shower steam?  They tell us they're fogless.  Don't buy the hype.  It's lies, all lies. ...
     

  • Bluetooth Headsets: They Also Fit in Your Pocket. Really.

    Published: 7/27/07 8:15 AM
    by: Rob
    Everyone Hates That Jackass  I thought about naming this post Everyone Hates That Jackass, but although it appropriately conveys my feeling, it doesn't say much about the content itself.  Instead, I'll settle for using the sentence as a header and repeating it often to ensure th...
     

  • On Nomenclature in Code

    Published: 1/14/08 4:05 PM
    by: Rob
    Name entities - whether variables, classes, tables, fields, methods or anything else - according to what they are...not according to how they're being used. Seriously. I've lost hours of my life searching big-gulp-sized data models for the email_address field only to find out that a user's email a...
