Note: This site might seem inactive… That’s because it is. Don’t worry though, I’m still coding webpages and stuff! If you’re interested, I suggest you get a translator and head over to Qiwi; or you could just check the latest site we’ve been working on: Apotheek Goethals – Debrabandere. Enjoy!

Obfuscating email addresses (19)
John linked Stu Nicholls’s email address hiding method through CSS a couple of days ago, and I was amazed. Amazed by the few bytes of code wherewith you can prevent your email address from being spotted by some silly spam bot. Read more →
Absolute relative links (30)
One of the features that aren’t (yet) implemented into WordPress, is the use of relative links. A relative link is a link to a page or a file which is located on the same site the page containing the link is on. *gasp* For example, if I want to link to http://mathiasbynens.be/portal from this page, there’s no need to use <a href="http://mathiasbynens.be/portal"> — <a href="/portal"> would work just as well, and even saves us a couple of bytes. It would take quite some time to get that working in WP; there would have to be a “Relative Blog Address” variable, which then would be used in all cases (permalink generation et al) except for syndication feeds and for trackbacking other people’s posts.

.nyud.net:8090after a page’s domain name, you can cause it to be cached in a big network of free caching computers. Cool eh? Well, here’s the favelet (my first ever!): Free Cache. Happy caching! (0) ¶
Textarea Resizer JavaScript (21)
The comments textarea resizer is a very popular piece of JavaScript in the world of bloggers. I first saw it in use on Dunstan’s — I even think he wrote the script. (I’m not sure though, as there’s no blog post making it official or anything.) Read more →
Photo Gallery URIs (11)
It is a problem. Ever since Markku announced that iPAP shall soon (?) have a MySQL backend, I’ve been wondering about my photo gallery. Not the one on Flickr, but the one on this very site. I’m assuming there won’t be an upgrade script included in iPAP 1.0 — which is fine, I’m sure Markku is a busy man —, so I’ll start a new gallery from scratch then. (Even if there will be such a script, a fresh install won’t hurt.) Read more →
