my.opera.com, CSS, backpacker's guide
I can't help it, but for a few days now people come to my blog with questions about modifying their blog. I can help most of them (in some cases I even write some code for them), but all in all I think I should start a small beginners guide, including the latest features of MyOpera.
I'm no CSS wizard, but I can handle CSS pretty well in most cases, so I'm often not aware of problems you can stumble upon. But I'm willing to write a small "1 CSS lesson per week" here if people are interested. I think we should start with the most basic stuff, then learn about the basic attributes and end up in creating our own themes. If you have any other suggestions... this is your place to go.
See the full post for the list of lessons...

JavaScript
I recently stubled upon some pretty rare and strange problems a customer reported, when switching the browser version of Internet Explorer using the IE Developer Tools. We found out, that the main problem was, that there were differences between the browser mode and document mode, as the customer switched only one of those parameters (like Browser Mode IE9, Document Mode IE7).
As our website already uses jQuery (and it includes a pretty nice browser detection), I wrote the following script:
var j = jQuery.noConflict();
j(document).ready(function(){
/* detect usage of IE Developer Tools using different Mode for Browser and Document */
if(j.browser.msie) {
var browserVersion = j.browser.version.slice(0,j.browser.version.indexOf("."));
var documentVersion = document.documentMode;
if(browserVersion != documentVersion) {
alert("ERROR:\nBrowser Mode and Document Mode do not match!\n\nBrowser Mode: IE"+ browserVersion +".0\nDocument Mode: IE"+ documentVersion +".0");
}
}
});
It uses jQuery to detect if we use MS Internet Explorer and if we do, which document mode we selected. If both match, nothing happens otherwise we display an error message.
I hope it helps anybody. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

my.opera.com, CSS, cooking
So MyOpera annouced a very nice challenge called "
My Opera Blog Challenge: Cooking", where they asked the people to "Be creative – decorate your "dish" (blog post) with pictures...". Guess what, that just tickled my mind and so I came up with the following recipe:

demoscene, breakpoint 2010
We have more than 1.000 visitors... something that never happened in history of breakpoint. And we move on... day 3 and a lot of great entries. On a side note: I'm sooo exhausted that I'll surely fall into my bed right after I arrived back home. But this is the best party ever.

demoscene, breakpoint 2010
After a short break the big compo parts started... and considering that we already had 10 entries in the C64 graphics compo, many of those with outstanding quality you can surely guess how long the next compos would take.

Yesterday I arrived on the breakpoint 2010 and after setting up my equipment and even creating an entry right on the party (within only 2 hours) the BIG fun began.
