April 5th, 2008 is Bette Davis’ 100th birthday and it is also the third annual CSS Naked Day. If you are viewing this on April 5th then you will see no styling. Any other day it will look normal. A properly written web page should fail gracefully and still be useable by browsers that do [...]

This one had me stumped for a few minutes. I had a text box that would post to a google search. Entering text in and hitting the enter key would just post back to the page and have no effect. Hmm. Frustrating. I don’t expect everyone to type in their search criteria and grab the [...]

Recently I was given the task of printing address labels from a database using Avery 5160 labels. These labels are 3 columns of 10 rows. 2.625″ x 1″ (66.6mm x 25.4mm). I was having trouble with carriage returns. First problem is that the ASP version of FPDF doesn’t seem to recognize the \n line feed. [...]

I just built a Windows machine from parts and installed Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit. The only problem I was having was the FTP service would not stay active upon shutdown or restart. I had to start it manually every time. If anyone else is wondering, here is how to make it work (if you already [...]

April 5th, 2007 is the second annual CSS Naked Day. If you are viewing this on April 5th then you will see no styling. Any other day it will look normal. A properly written web page should fail gracefully and still be useable by browsers that do not understand CSS. It is the web standards [...]

See here for more information on the new version of the Bible verse tags. I hope that this plugin can be used to spread the good news throughout the earth. Let me know if you need any help installing it. John 3:16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that [...]

Thanks to Cao over at Cao’s blog for pointing out that the link to my open trackback post was broken. I was wondering why I haven’t got any for a long time. I’m going to have to ping everyone to let them know it’s back up and active. Please accept my heartfelt apology. Mark B. [...]

Well, wordpress still stinks in the trackback department. I’ve applied Paul Ooi’s Word Press 2.0 Trackback fix and am attempting to send a trackback to that post. Let’s see if it works. *sigh*

April 5th, 2006 is the first annual CSS Naked Day. If you are viewing this on April 5th then you will see no styling. Any other day it will look normal. A properly written web page should fail gracefully and still be useable by browsers that do not understand CSS. It is the web standards [...]

Please note: Imagine Kitty Magazine is changing direction and is no longer encouraging trackbacks of a political nature. Right wing or left wing, bashing or backing will most likely be denied. The line between the “right” and the “left” is so blurred that it all seems so pointless. You’re not going to change anyone’s mind [...]

I think I am going to switch my open trackback day to the weekend. Probably Friday through Sunday. Every Weekend I will try to have an Open Trackback article. From the Open Trackback Alliance FAQ: The entire concept is to encourage bloggers to showcase their best recent articles on other blogs which may not otherwise [...]

Akismet has not let a single spam get through. It is worth switching to WordPress just to get this plugin. I’ve been getting quite a bit of sucky spam comments lately. I’m sure this has something to do with my page views going from about 40 per day to over 170 per day. Spammers, you [...]
