I’ve just written a quick tips page on using Apache Struts. It’s just a couple of tips and tricks I’ve picked up from using struts over the past few months while I’ve been using Struts. It might be quite useful for newcomers to Struts 🙂 If you’re a J2EE developer using struts, why don’t you…

Right. So, what did I get up to this weekend then? Well. On Friday evening, Philippa and I went back to Ipswich to see my parents. We stayed there overnight, and came back on Saturday morning (actually by the time we left it was just about afternoon, but nevermind). In the afternoon we went into…

Matthew has written a great little page on why Internet Explorer sucks. He’s basically just used a couple of examples to demonstrate the failings of the handling of CSS stylesheets and PNG images in Internet Explorer. Why don’t you have a look and see for yourself 🙂 (Disclaimer: site may cause offense to those using…

Someone posted this link today on one of the blogs that I read: Create your own Dan Brown novel! It generates the summary of a Dan Brown novel for you, and as the site says “each one as original and well thought out as a real Dan Brown best-seller”. Oh the fun…

I’ve noticed a new “web trend” recently. People have discovered the <ABBR> HTML tag. It allows you to explain acronyms (as I did with HTML in the previous sentence; if you have Internet Explorer it won’t show up but it does in Firefox and other browsers.

Firstly, I’d like to apologise for a slightly later “The Weekend” post! I meant to do it yesterday but I was rather busy. Anyway. What did I get up to at the weekend? Well, on Friday evening Foz came up and we went to the “What?” bar. There was a hip-hop / breaks / dnb…

I’ve done a new breaks mix 🙂 It starts off kind of funky and then gets all Nu-Skool towards the end. It’s even got an old-skool sounding kind of garagey track in there (see if you can spot it…) You can download the MP3 from here (about 55MB, 128kbps, 60:34 minutes long). Tracklist is here:…

This is the only day of the year I can make this joke, so I have to do it: may the 4th be with you!

I’ve just read a great article on Linux (sort of). You’ll probably like it even if you don’t use Linux — it’s not at all techy. But be sure to turn your sense of humour on before visiting the website (if you’re a linux fanboy, anyway). If you want to be entertained, read the article,…

What did I get up to this weekend then? Well. I didn’t do very much on Friday night – I was shattered after a week at work! It was a particularly busy week last week. Well, I don’t know, maybe not so busy but very tiring for some reason. Anyway. Saturday morning I just pottered…
