| 20080225 | Busy day at work. But I wanted to do some work on the site. During the 2 hour car-drive back home from work I decided to use an on-line spell-check on this site. I used http://www.thesolutioncafe.com/public-spell-checker.html and http://www.orangoo.com/spell/ and I give them credit for assisting me with correcting a lot of typo's. |
| 20080224 | It's early in the morning but it was worth it:
this site is multi-language now. And I learned a lot on the job. I solemnly swear I will never deliver a site that is not multi-language! ;-) For all you hungry people I will add some bread-crumbs in a while, so you will be able to get back to the main page. |
| 20080221 | All demo's are cross-browser now, although the RGB cube is very slow under FireFox; you have to confirm several times that you want the script to continue. I won't post another demo again without first testing it under FireFox,Opera and IE. But I think I know most of the pitfalls now. I also decided to change the sorting order of the blog to most recent entry on top. Next week I am too busy to do any work on this site. |
| 20080219 | I finally got the "Interaction 2 wire-cubes" demo working cross-browser. I tested IE, Opera and FireFox. I think I got the hang of it now and will convert the RGB color cube in a while. In the mean time I decided to make this site multi-language because a lot of my family members and friends have difficulties reading english In a while I will add dutch and after that german and french ( with a little help from Bablefish). Restructuring my code and organizing the library is on my todo list too, but first it's time to add some more eye-candy demos. |
| 20080215 | My newest projects don't seem to work under all browsers. Or they don't work the same way. Anyway it sucks! I did a quick scan on the internet for cross-browser JavaScript library's of other people but noticed small but annoying differences between browsers especially for the kind of stuff I am experimenting with. Anyway constructing my own library is more fun and selecting the library that fits my needs best, could be more time-consuming then rolling my own. Why bother with cross-browser compatibility? Because I want to share my code with as many people as possible. I am considering switching to linux in the near future. I hope to be able to use the code with as little adoptions as possible. As time goes by and other browser and version appear I want my code to work on that too. Being limited to IE means being limited to windows ( or using emulators dual boot VM-ware etc) which means being limited to certain hardware. If you develop code right now I don't expect it to work in a browser version of 6 years ago. On the other hand, it should work in a browser 6 years from now. Even though by that time you might want to rewrite it to take advantage of new features (like svg). Also I am waiting for the ASUS EEE to become available in my country (expected in april). It would be nice to have my code work on that under linux. |
