Quoting the Quotes

Friday, November 28th, 2003 | Personal | No Comments

My article on fixing the <q> tag’s behaviour in Internet Explorer went up on CodeProject yesterday – you can find it here.

Over the next few days I will try to come up with another interesting idea for an article, but since I’ve been missing a tool to render general tree data structures that might very well be the focus of my efforts this time around. Hopefully I can create something decent that runs in a sensible amount of time.

Fixing the Quotes

Sunday, November 16th, 2003 | Personal | No Comments

My personal projects have started to progress a bit again, at least I have managed to finish off a couple of the semi-finished projects I had on my harddisk. One of these is a script to fix the broken behaviour of Microsoft Internet Explorer when rendering the <q> element, see the HTML 4.01 standard. I have already deployed this site using it (you should be able to notice it on the Ruminations pages if you’re running Internet Explorer 6).

The script will be officially released together with an article submitted to CodeProject as soon as I have time to proof-read it one last time.

Apart from that I have also continued development on the site, in particular stuff that goes on behind the scenes: the Content Management System. This system is responsible for adding/editing news items, generating the site from templated PHP-files into static HTML files (to speed up your viewing pleasure), and to generate thumbnails and whatnot for the digital photo and gallery sections. Perhaps if I feel the inclination I will make a bit stronger system and release it as a regular CMS framework.

Finally found a job!

Look at this, several months passed between news posts again. I’m getting really bad at not updating the news. Ach well.

I have landed a job with EDC, a Danish realtor chain where I do Intranet development. It is a very nice place to work and the people there are great. Hectic, but great.

My personal projects are a bit at a stand-still, I get more than enough development related projects at work to keep me busy, but I will continue with my personal projects, they will not die! (bold last words, I know). I have changed my major from Mathematics to Computer Science as I had had enough of a certain course in multivariate real analysis. Hopefully I will get my bachelors degree by summer.
