Nice One, Scholes! (With Video Of The Goal)

Tiglo — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:01:28 +0000

The magic of Paul Scholes won Man Utd a match which has sent them to the Champions League Final for the first time in nine years. A match which is set to be an exciting all English affair as United will face either Liverpool or Chelsea (this will be decided tomorrow – 30/04/2008). Although Barcelona [...] Related posts:

Internet Explorer on Linux

Tiglo — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:08:39 +0000

One of the biggest pains when designing a website is ensuring cross-browser compatibility. When it comes to HTML this is not too much of a problem, however javascript and CSS are. The layout in one browser may look completely different in another. Unfortunately, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer is not very CSS compliant, so [...] Related posts:

I Really Didn’t Want To Do It Again

Tiglo — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:08:29 +0000

… but I ended up neglecting my blog again. A new project is on the horizon. After a lot of experimentation with drupal, I finally found what works for my forthcoming site. Drupal has a wide range of modules available, some with similar functionality, but sometimes just the “one” which fits perfectly. I [...] Related posts:

Intelligence To Be Axed?

Is Canadian TV show Intelligence going to be axed? A post on The Tyee certainly seems to suggest so. It would be a shame if CBC did axe it as it is a quality show. The acting is great, the storyline is one of the best I’ve come across and it all [...] Related posts:

Firefox Extensions For Webdevelopers

Tiglo — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 16:28:04 +0000

As a webdeveloper, albeit a hobbyist one, I’ve found Firefox standards-compliance to be a valuable asset when writing HTML, CSS and javascript. Adding a few extensions makes Firefox even more useful to a webdeveloper/webmaster. My three favourite extensions are: Firebug – a great way for analysing a page and all the parts that make [...] Related posts:

Google Pack Updated

Tiglo — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 22:14:12 +0000

Google’s desktop software set, Google Pack, has been updated to be even more useful. It now includes Norton Security Scan which provides basic but adequate protection, especially when combined with Spyware Doctor (which protects against spyware and adware). Yes – I am a Linux user but I also have a laptop running Windows [...] Related posts:

Fun Lovin’ Criminals – Big Night Out

Tiglo — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 21:38:03 +0000

"Bight Night Out" is one of The Fun Lovin’ Criminals finest tunes – at least for the boys. This lyrical genius was on their second album, 100% Columbian, released in 1998 which was a few years after their ground breaking dÃ©but album, Come Find Yourself. The 90s truly was a great era for [...] Related posts:

Adsense Ad Management Simplified

Tiglo — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 23:33:43 +0000

Recently, Google announced there would be a new system of ad unit management for publishers and now finally it is here – well, not every publisher will see it just yet as it is currently in "roll out" phase. If you have not seen the changes to the new ad management within your Google [...] Related posts:

The Bidvertiser Experiment: Failed

Tiglo — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 21:15:41 +0000

Sadly, my experiment with Bidvertiser failed. I’ve removed it and won’t be bringing Adsense back for now either. Currently, I have other projects I’m working on which are far more important. I like Bidvertiser’s reporting and control over advert appearance, I just think my blog was not the right place for it. [...] Related posts:

PHP: Check For An Empty Value In An Array

Tiglo — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 21:25:22 +0000

Recently, I need to check for an empty value in an array. While empty() is good for checking a specific value it does not allow the checking of a whole array. I didn’t want to do multiple if statements/empty checks and also empty was not always accurate, i.e. if a variable has a [...] Related posts:
