WordPress 2.0 Cache Is Broken!
Posted on Sunday, January 15th, 2006
As of version 2.0 of WordPress you’ll get a caching feature, which means it’ll ‘remember’ the most frequent accessed static information from your blog. This way it’s supposed to not bother the database but make a ‘fast trip’ to the server to fetch these pieces of info. In the end this should make your […]

Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar Beta vs Web Developer toolbar extension
Posted on Wednesday, September 21st, 2005
“Imitation the Sincerest Form of Flattery.” Or so they say. But I don’t know if this holds true when the imitating party is… Microsoft. Sorry Chris, it’s about time to move on to greener pastures.

The Joys of Shared Hosting
Posted on Thursday, August 25th, 2005
… are of course the low price tag and not having to maintain the server yourself.
The downside however, is that you are at the mercy of your mostly unknown neighbours. Who happen to reside on the same server. So what happened? ThinkLemon.com was out of service for quite a while. 14 hours straight to […]

IE’s dead, hail the new King!
Posted on Saturday, June 25th, 2005
… and the new king is ‘Longhorn‘!
Well, not exactly, it’s RSS!
I’ve watched the video, scanned Technorati, clicked on TechCrunch, taken a look at the IE Blog, re-visited C|Net, shivered at the Creative Commons Blog, read the last Gnomedex’r story, …
What’s left? I say, Redmond got the idea late in the game. But as usual […]

Turning off the ‘friendly HTTP error messages’ in Firefox
Posted on Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005
By accident I stumbled upon this Firefox somewhat equivalent of IE’s ‘Show friendly HTTP error messages’ option. Any webdeveloper should have this turned off by default. How else will you know what the problem is? So here’s how to do it:
Open up a new tab (CTRL+T) or window (CTRL+N).
Type in de addressbar: about:config.
In the […]

What font will we choose next for our site?
Posted on Thursday, June 9th, 2005
Webdesigners have been limited in their choice of fonts for quite some time now. Who doesn’t use Arial, Verdana, Courier, Helvetica, etc. The list isn’t very long as opposed to print designers. I think about 99% of all sites use Arial/Verdana/Helvetica/or a combination, although I’ve seen the use of Tahoma and “Trebuchet MS” […]
