For a long time my "browser of choice" was Firefox because of fantastic Flashblock add-in. Today I found out that there is similar add-in for Safari called ClickToFlash. Here is a nice article describing what it can do and here is the link to a github project. Pefect!
Following on a tweet from Sean Corfield, I couldn’t believe it is possible to create a function called if, else, while and so on as well as declare variable called var. Here is the code that may hurt your head: [sourcecode lang="cf"] <cffunction name="if"> <cfargument name="val1" /> <cfargument name="val2" /> <cfif val1 eq val2> <cfreturn [...]
For myself, for future reference: [sourcecode lang="js"] // ==UserScript== // @name Expert blocker // @namespace my // @description Eliminate Experts Exchange results from Google searches. // @include http://*.google.com/search?* // @include http://*.google.co.uk/search?* // ==/UserScript== var results = document.getElementsByTagName("a"); for ( var i=0; i<results.length; i++ ) { if ( results[i].href.indexOf("http:/ /www.experts-exchange.com") == 0 || results[i].href.indexOf("http:/ /swik.net") == [...]
I’m using Flex with ColdFusion for a long time now but sometimes I really can’t stand these two products together. I’m sending nested CFCs through the remote object back to Flex so ColdFusion has to serialize them to the form that may be understood by Flex. But I’ve got an error, somewhere I have an [...]
Today, while working on a small piece of code I discovered something that appears to be a DateFormatter bug. I was using following DateFormatter: [sourcecode lang='as3'] private var formatter:DateFormatter = new DateFormatter(); … formatter.formatString = “MMMM”; [/sourcecode] to display just the month names. I didn’t really care about the year when constructing new Date so [...]
There was an interesting question on stackoverflow.com today. Some unnamed user asked: Can we change the width of the datagrid column dynamically by clicking on the border of the column in order to display the complete string which is too long to be displayed and needs to be scrolled ? If so, How ?Also, how [...]
Disclamer In first words – no, of course it is not broken, it is working fine. But there is a specific issue with these two methods when the socket server is implemented incorrectly. I noticed I’ve been looking for the solution using these phrases and that’s why the post it titled like that. I just [...]
Right… just before SotR09 London I can’t get sleep. I just watched the Google Wave recording from Google I/O. After 5 minutes I had this feeling I’ve seen it somewhere already…, think, think! And BING ;) It was Microsoft OneNote. All that real-time typing capabilities, dropping images, commenting is already in OneNote. Until I see [...]
For a long time I couldn’t really understand what crossdomain.xml is for. Today, after finishing one the Flex projects I finally figured it out. At least one of two reasons. About 4 years ago Martijn de Visser described one of them – defending your internal network from the attacks. But there is another way reason why crossdomain.xml [...]
It’s been a long time since I last blogged, I’ve been on holiday and following week was kind of busy. It turned out that in my last post, Thank you Adobe for removing me from feeds.adobe.com, I accused Adobe/feeds.adobe.com team of doing something that never happened. As johnb and Big Mad Kev pointed out the [...]
