I’ve been coding an simple RESTful “ip to country” conversion service. I’ve decided to put it up to appengine – so that everybody may use it freely even if I’d change my server etc… And if looked quite nice the first day – buw when I got to do some “real stuff” app engine started [...]

Hi there, below is the (horribly trashy and chaotic – as it was hacked up in about 2/3 hours) source for my Google Gmail Contextual Gadget. It extends Gmail by parsing all links passed in an email, and if an github commit link is found it displays the diff for this commit. With coloring etc [...]

Git is really simple and VERY powerfull. It makes svn look like an idiot – but that’s just my personal opinion ;-) Anyways, I’m using github most of the time, but now I’d like to hava a non public repository (yet remote) for some small project. I’ve been commiting to a local git instance from [...]

Zen points directly to the human heart, see into your nature and become Buddha. – Hakuin Ekaku (1685–1768) For those who don’t know about zen coding (where have you been guys?) here’s a little sample: Instead of writing: <form class=”form-comment” id=”comment”> <fieldset> <input id=”myid” name=”name” type=”" /> <input onclick=”hideMe()” type=”" /> </fieldset> </form> You write [...]

I just stumbbled uppon an very interesting talk with Sun Microsystems’ Director of Web Technologies Tim Bra, abour the future of the Java Platform. They also mention stuff about REST/SOAP, SOA, Grails/Grails/Django etc. Is’s interesting to see how “bigshots” view these technologies. Tkat said, if you have 30min to spare, or just want to play [...]

Yup, it’s time for another JavaCamp “review”. This time I was able to attend the whole thing, and didn’t miss the pizza – well, I just got one slice since we were so busy talking about Google’s Android with other programmers… ;-) The agenda was shorter than last time, but it still “had it’s moments”: [...]

I am currently working on a simple but still quite fun/interesting (as is any project with a new framework :-)) webapp using Google Web Toolkit (it’s basically Google’s JEE framework for creating RIA). The webapp is an online crossword generator. The goal is to provide crosswords online and allow users solving them online with a [...]

This time I’ll post some actual code. A client wanted me to write an “image slider”. You’ve probably seen lot’s of them online – and a whole lot of them is in flash – why? There is no need to involve flash in such a trivial task, and jQuery is more than up to the [...]

Just a quick vim tip today… Have you been coding/fixing stuff on the server over ssh using vim? I sure have, but was always wondering why the vim on my server wouldn’t highlight php… The solution is: :syntax on Whoa, 2 words, not 2 letters like usually! Thats pretty long for vim ain’t it? ;-)
