Software Patents?

Friday, August 29th, 2003

Mozilla has a link to Software Patents in Europe which is much more serious than I thought. If you live in the Europe, you should know abut it and sign the Support by signing up

Test driving a FireBird (!)

Friday, August 29th, 2003

A Mozilla Firebird that is. It does seem much faster. Especially site like MLB home or ESPN. Those two pages are the page that I visit EVERYDAY and frustrates me. Using MozDev plugindoc, just got flash and java working on it. I had to use Java RE 1.4.2 and use j2refolder/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so. It is working […]

Wurlitzer Electric Piano 200A

Wednesday, August 27th, 2003

Wurlitzer EP 200A is in my house. This is pretty sweet, it’s a electric piano but has action like regular piano, perfect for practicing - not so loud, has built-in amp if you want it to be loud. It had couple of dead keys so I opened it up and looked at it, there was […]

The Best Case Scenario

Wednesday, August 27th, 2003

Lately, I have been thinking about: “What will be my ultimate personal computer?” Not that I am buying computer or anything, just sort of dreaming about it. I think it needs to be a Wi-Fi ready small laptop. My friend had Fujitsu Life Book and was very cool. Or Apple 12″ PowerPC G4? Maybe […]

Buying Royalty Free Images On-line

Tuesday, August 26th, 2003

Doing freelance with some image budget is kind of fun. Getty and Corbis is the two big ones but there are couple of cheaper more grass roots sites. iStockPhoto is pretty good, especially if you have some budget, iStockPro might be little cheaper (if you can find a good pic, that is…). I don’t want […]

Accessibility

Monday, August 25th, 2003

I am in the process of designing accessible web site for a non-profit. Links likethis helps me a bit, but most of the design is not great…

Inspiration

Monday, August 25th, 2003

Before I start a project I always look for an inspiration. Look at lots of site and see what design I like or I don’t. In websites it is much easier to “borrow” other websites design… but stealing someone’s design is very very bad. If you do, Pirated-Sites.com will find you!

Blogging about blogging…

Sunday, August 24th, 2003

I have been thinking about this for a while now, but I want to use blogging as a part of Japaneseballplayers.com. I’ve looked into using Japanese on Movable type. This dude Daiji Hirata san has created Japanese Language Pack and here is readmeand step-by step howto. It works with EUC-JP or UTF-8 language codes, […]

Useful Net Tools

Thursday, August 21st, 2003

I came across two really useful websites lately:

Whois Source tells you what domain is and has been registered and now available.
NetCraft’s “What’s that site running?…” web server search can show you what kind of server a domain resides on. Pretty interesting server related blog as well.

Curse of… NO! Stop that!

Thursday, August 21st, 2003

Just got back from The Fenway Park. And Man, what a heartbreaking loss. This team has so many good players. Everyone of them is good. Take Byung-Hyun Kim, I like him a lot, but he was the loser of the game tonight (only the second BS he gave out all season, though). Oakland is not […]
