I’ve been toying slightly with the design recently, and I just noticed today that it’s pretty obvious that almost any browsing I do happens in Firefox. The site (well top menu anyway) looks awful in Internet Explorer – auch. Better fix that some time in 2005.

Merry Christmas
Dec 24
It’s been a busy December and there hasn’t been much time for Christmas lights and other holiday celebrations on the site, but to everyone passing by we’re wishing you a Merry Christmas – and what a wonderful Christmas gift from the weather – all white outside and still snowing… to bad is seems to be [...]
It’s been awhile since Stuart Langridge released some cool javascript which allows you t do client-side sorting of tables in an unobtrusive manner. Soon after Andy Edmonds released a merge with a function to made alternating row coloring he had made. Now Caspar has done a little magic and added (cookie) memory to the script [...]
Recovery 404
Dec 16
So I thought I did a decent job of cleaning up and recovering the site after the evil crash a few months ago. Browsing through the 404 (file-not-found) logs sadly tells a different story. Damn. I was hoping to be fully recovered by New Years Eve. That’s probably a little too ambitious.
Protocol relative linking
Dec 15
An odd discovery today – if you don’t specify a protocol in your links, the browser apparently suppose it’s the same (be that http or https) as the current page. You can se it in action on Slashdot by viewing their source – none of the regular links has protocol specification – they just start [...]
Mysql is usually pretty fast by default, but to keep performance to the max sometimes requires knowledge on how mysql works and how to write queries that does their job most efficiently. Today we ran across a simple example which illustrates that mysql’s ability to use an index depends on the way you write the [...]
Airplane experiences
Dec 8
Airliners seem to have a hard time remodelling their businesses. With the rise of budget airlines (EasyJet, RyanAir and others) some conventional carries has tried to change their business to secure their continued existence – some with more luck than others. My latest travel with Maersk Air was some disappointment.
A database styleguide
Nov 25
Most databases seems to be well designed when the systems needing them are launched in the first version – but the slowly as the systems evolve (often grow beyond their initial requirements) – the database design seems to go down the drain. Here are a few tips on what to think about when you design [...]
MT plugin released
Nov 21
The source code to my first little movable type plugin is now released online. For most people it main interest may be as a simple example on how to make a plugin to movable type – it’s small, simple and the results are quite comprehensible. Check it our at our new movable type section.
Bugzilla Extensions are back
Nov 20
The open source bugzilla extensions/tools are back. It a small set of perl scripts which does (displays) practical information. During the next few days I’ll probably add a few more scripts (they just need to pass QA). Find them at http://Netfactory.dk/bugzilla/.
