The zombies are here
Posted on Saturday, May 28th, 2005
The zombies are here and multiplying. Quick! Grab your baseball bat! Fortunately zombies are slow creatures muttering ‘Whoooooowhooooo’. They generaly have a lethargic look, look pale, miss limbs, … So they are easy to spot. No they’re not. According to Cyphertrust, never heard of them before, their numbers are rising 170,000+ a day. Just take [...]

Safe browsers don’t exist. True.
Posted on Saturday, May 28th, 2005
According to David Sheets they don’t. He has written a column about the safety of browsers. And I think he’s right. Partialy… Safe browsers do NOT exist. Agreed. Just as bug-free software doesn’t exist. How hard you try, there is always a funny/strange/malicious kind of input possible, putting your normal day of business off. Due [...]

Favorite browser?
Posted on Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

I’ve been using IE ever since IE3. Why? Well, I’ve won a cd-rom with IE3 along with a videotape of ‘The [...]

Lorem Ipsum Dolor
Posted on Monday, May 23rd, 2005
No this isn’t a fake post. It’s something almost every designer (web or print) out there uses as a placeholder for text in his/her design. But using the same text over and over again can get a little boring. How many headings can you see starting with Lorem ipsum? Fortunately some people have made fake-content [...]

Netscape 8 released
Posted on Friday, May 20th, 2005

ThinkLemon in *Alpha* stage 2
Posted on Friday, May 20th, 2005
I’ve just finished setting up my FeedBurner feeds. No site can go without it. Well… if you just prefer to scan your serverlog(s) for anyone consuming your feed(s), than it’s OK. For me it’s just a bit cumbersome to filter out the good stuff. Unfortunately my provider doesn’t support AWStats, instead it only provides Webalizer. [...]
