Feed History Problems With Google Reader & Feedburner
Recently I began implementing a RSS feed for my webcomic AStoryADay.com. Creating an auto-updating RSS feed was fairly straightforward , and I could have easily left it at that. Visitors to the site could have simply clicked on the RSS link on my site and subscribed to the feed. However I wanted to keep some [...]
The Case For Multiple Browser Support…(Or Not)
Lately I’ve been discussing my recent dive into the world of web development– design, css/xhtml, and php coding. One of the projects I’m starting with, a webcomic, was mainly chosen to make the process more enjoyable. And to put things in perspective, I am just now completing the css/xhtml phase. It was during this phase [...]
CSS Growing Pains….Sigh….
I’ve been having CSS nightmares since I decided to venture into teaching myself web design. I wake up in cold sweats babbling about relative and absolute positioning. Learning how to deal with transparent png files and repositioning gifs makes my head hurt. The mention of things like elastic layouts makes me want to run the [...]
Dual Monitor Madness Part 1
Over the course of the last couple of weeks, I’ve been working on a few projects and writing a ton of code. It was during one of my breaks — an increasingly rare occurrence these days — that I realized that I wasn’t taking advantage of the real estate that my dual monitors provide.

Dynamic Embedded Custom Font Generation
While working on a project this weekend, I came across a problem that I thought had a simple solution. I simply wanted to embed a custom font in a web document. I only wanted to use the custom font on a small area of text and have the rest of the text remain in the [...]
Where Have All The Hobby Operating Systems Gone?
With web applications, web programming, and social media being the current buzz these days, I don’t hear a lot about people getting homegrown operating systems off the ground that much. In schools, at least the one I attended, operating systems is covered more at a theoretical level than at a practical level. I’ve been contemplating [...]
How To Write Simple Nautilus Scripts
Why Write Nautilus Scripts?
Ubuntu is my favorite OS hands down and its ability to be customized is one of its greatest features, however I sometimes wish some simple things were included in the base installation like the ability to open a directory in the file manager in administrator mode without having to open a terminal [...]
