Getting UTF-8 to work with Irssi on windows

Paradox — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 19:58:29 +0000

If you are at all like me, and i suspect someone is, you will use software on systems it wasn’t designed for. I use Irssi for chatting, on windows, due to its supereor functionality to many other clients. Unfortunately, a side effect of using software on systems it wasn’t designed for is having to use [...] Related posts:

Limiting signature image width/height in MyBB

Paradox — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:06:22 +0000

This is a feature that is found in SMF, and a lot of MyBB users I know have asked about a similar feature. While this is not a simple preference pane value, it is easy to set up, and anyone should be able to do so. This is a simple process, and all it requires is [...] Related posts:

Find in Chrome, very well done
Paradox — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:12:14 +0000

Every modern browser has a text finding feature, and today, i stumbled across the one in Chrome. When you press Ctrl+F, a little find box slides down in the upper right hand corner. As you type, results are highlited. This is nothing new. What is new is on the scroll bar, chrome adds bands of [...]

PortableChrome: Chrome for your USB stick
Paradox — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 00:59:47 +0000

There are many tutorials, downloads, and other tricks on the internet for getting Google Chrome on a USB Stick or Thumbdrive, but there is a much simpler solution. Download a nightly binary. Google offers these up for download, just click on the folder with the highest number, and then download the included zip file. If [...]

Using CSS 3 Resize, and controlling it
Paradox — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:32:00 +0000

CSS3 includes a useful new property called Resize. This allows a developer to specify any block element in their site as resizeable, and the users of said site to be able to resize it, either by grippy handles in a corner, or by expanding the edges via cursors. Another useful trick of css is how [...]

Chrome: First Experience
Paradox — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:38:21 +0000

Google chrome was released today, and i have been using it for a while now. It is different than most other browsers, but almost all the changes are good. It is speedy, clean, well built, and doesn’t crash. They seem to be missing a few things, but for beta software, its incredibly complete.

First run
The first [...]

Google releases browser tomorrow.
Paradox — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:46:28 +0000

Google has announced that it will be releasing a browser tomorrow, for beta testing. Named Google Crome (likely a beta name), it will mix elements from Webkit and Firefox, as well as a new javascript engine, and other google technologies.
Each tab will be isolated in its own “sandbox”, so one crashing tab doesn’t bring down [...]

Integrating facebook and other services
Paradox — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 04:16:24 +0000

Facebook is great. It lets you share things with your friends, and does a good job by doing so. One problem is that many people have fairly boring profile pages. Usually they have one or 2 annoying apps, and nothing that is actually useful. There is a way you can integrate the various services you [...]

Paradox — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 20:02:55 +0000

Following my review of the new Facebook design (New Facebook design review), I am writing a review of the new DeviantArt design. The new design is quite pretty, it improves areas that needed improvement drastically over v5, such as the message center and other areas of the site still using the v4 theme.

Finally, updates
Some elements [...]

New Facebook design review
Paradox — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:37:13 +0000

Facebook is launching a new design, one that has been in development for several months. Some people may already have it, others may not. But either way, if you have a facebook account, you need to know the ins, outs, changes, bugs and other things that the new design brings.
