2009 website in review

David — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 10:45:08 +0000

I’ve been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks, and I’m just getting around to it.

I did something interesting with my website. I took a look at my stats, and created a neat-looking word cloud, based on the keywords that people enter in search engines to get to my website.

It’s quite interesting to see.

Finally, the mecca of multiple standalone Internet Explorer versions

David — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:06:20 +0000

I’ve finally found a multiple IE installer.

It lets you run versions 1.0, 1.5, 2.01, 3.0, 4.01, 5.01, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0

Kudos to the developer.

Rogers website is ‘busted’

David — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:58:18 +0000

It seems that despite Rogers new website design, there are some serious coding flaws and database problems going on. Maybe one of their web developers was cleaning up files on the server and removed key includes? LOL

Perhaps they should get a ‘dev’ environment to work on.

Rogers staff – if you need help resolving the problem, let me know. :-)

The errors are numerous!

broken website

Totally different section of the site - just as busted as the first!

Serious errors displayed to the public. Tsk tsk!

Who are you calling a twit?

David — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:19:12 +0000

So, i finally caved in, and I setup a twitter account. I’ve got it hooked into my blog and facebook accounts.

Anyone looking to get me, I’m @davidpisarek or you can view my profile page at http://twitter.com/davidpisarek.

I had my blog setup to automatically create a new post whenever I sent a tweet, but it looks like that’s going to get annoying pretty quickly, so I’ve disabled that function.

Bring it on fellow twits!

Justin and I were talking, and he mentioned the Meez.com site.

I figured I would give it a shot… and it’s pretty cool. You can make an avatar of yourself for free, and have it saved out with an animation too!

Live CSS editing for IE and FF at the same time

David — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 11:49:57 +0000

So, anyone who’s into web development knows about the FireFox “Web Developer” plug-in.

I’ve been trying to find a similar tool for IE, that allows for live CSS editing so that I can see how things look without affecting actual code. This is handy for working out kinks and bugs.

Well, I’ve found it! Finally! It’s called CSSVista. It’s a free application (at least for now) that allows you to edit live in IE and FF at the same time.

Head over to their site to download and check it out.
