Stalking domains

Stalking domains

I’m always on the lookout for cool domain names. I have to admit that I still have to battle my urge to buy a name just because it is interesting, fun or just plain cool. But these days practicality tends to win the fight as domain property speculation is not what it used to be.

Table Rappers has a home

Table Rappers has a home

I have written briefly here about Table Rappers once or twice – recently here and here. Now there’s a presence on the web and thanks to the liberally flowing creative juices of a very talented person around here (ahem… jEN), the presence is a little more than mere words in a browser.

The Aquarium is almost ready for the fish

The Aquarium is almost ready for the fish

It has been far longer in conceptualising and planning than actual code development, but the first release of my AquariumCMS (Content Management System) is almost out of the production line.
Built following so much frustration with overly complex yet constraining CMSs, particularly in the area of overall site look and feel, Aquarium offers front-end design flexibility [...]

A Minor Technicality Podcast #17 – a big dollop of ketchup

A Minor Technicality Podcast #17 – a big dollop of ketchup

Probably the dullest, most tedious spewing in Minor Technicality’s intermittent history. Just a bit of catching up on what’s been going on since the last podcast. Well almost, since there’s far more happening than can fit into one show!

Chaos to control (almost)

Chaos to control (almost)

Firefox 1.5 and a broken CMS

Firefox 1.5 and a broken CMS

The content management system I have been developing over the past few months for a client, uses an online WYSIWYG editor called TinyMCE…. As someone who refuses to use Internet Explorer unless the sky falls in (at which point it would become unnecessary for a whole load of other reasons) this is a major pain.However, congratulations go out to Moxiecode for already releasing a Firefox 1.5 friendly version, actually TinyMCE 2.0.If this seems like an odd post, presenting the problem then notifying abut the solution, it’s because between the time I decided to write the post and the moment I visited the TinyMCE website, the new 2.0 had been released.
