Challenged by Marcel and inspired by another idea by Nicholas (upcoming, stay tuned!) here’s the beginning. Imagine there’s no quirksmode It’s easy if IE6 dies No Trident below us And all the data URIs Imagine all the web devs coding for today You may say I’m a dreamer But I’m not the only one I […]

There was a dude who liked to write code I dunno why he liked to write code The code was Node(.js) code There was a dude who wrote a lint tool To check the code that he wrote – cool! But I dunno why he liked to write code The code was Node There was […]

Excuse me, my dearest reader for subjecting you to this (*cough vogon poetry*). My only excuse is it’s Friday. So here comes another one of those. This time a coverlet (a whatlet?) of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Tin Pan Alley (The Roughest Place in Town). Tin Pan Alley sounds almost like Silicon (Silly Con?) Valley 🙂 […]

We don’t need no docum’ntation We don’t need no source control No dark sarcasm on the mail(ing) list Ninjas leave them kids alone No comments – code should speak alone! All in all it’s just another LOC We don’t need no code conventions We don’t need no (js)lint control No YSlow rules, no validation And […]

Disregarding my dear wife’s opinion that the best present to my blog readers would be to *not* publish my new recording…. I’ll just go ahead and do it: Feliz Navidad ’tis a heavy metal sort of cover of Jose Feliciano’s Feliz Navidad. I hope you like Iron Maiden and Helloween (there’s a special treat between […]

Randomly browsing something on the iPhone it occurred to me that people could prefix their mobile sites with “mmm” instead of “m” or “i”, as in mmm.mysite.tld. It’s longer, true, but I don’t think it will take longer to type three m’s instead of one. And it’s funny – mmm, it’s like www. Only… flipped. […]

As you know yours truly is a guitar hero wannabe. So I’m playing with the idea of recording a song/video called “Give PiNG a Chance”, cover of “Give peace a chance”. Hopefully whoever hears it will then think twice before saving a GIF instead of PNG. Imagine. And the web will be as one… 😀 […]

Oh Almighty All-One (01), Grant me the courage   to embrace and early adopt new cool technologies, the serenity   to ignore distractions from new technology fads and the wisdom   to tell the difference. Muahaha 🙂 I believe the original is often attributed to Vonnegut, but I’m not sure he came up with it. I’m sure he […]

It’s been interesting few days lately for me, celebrity-wise. Agassi/Graff First, last Thursday, Andre Agassi and his wife Steffi Graff came to the Yahoo! center in Santa Monica (my workplace) and played with our kids and signed tennis balls. This was fun, check out: vid, vid, vid, pics. Here’s my daughter almost hitting the ball: […]

location = location … and 534 other ways to reload the page with JavaScript How many ways you can think of when you want to reload the current page with JavaScript? I counted 535 before I got bored, maybe someone can pick up from there? The cases are so much that I had to write […]

I’m explaining to .. let’s call him “This guy” what I work at Yahoo!: [2:10:32 AM] stoyanstefanov says: research, experiments, building tools [2:10:38 AM] stoyanstefanov says: all around performance [2:10:45 AM] stoyanstefanov says: and focused on the front-end [2:11:33 AM] This guy says: front-end performance sounds so rude [2:11:58 AM] stoyanstefanov says: haha 😀 [2:12:10 […]

… even as a joke consider putting your domain name on your license “vanity plate”

I know my fellow Qu̩b̩cois are going to smile on this one: Faith Tabernacle РAssembly of God Great name for a band playing for example covers of Faith No More

Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. – John Lennon Project is what happens while you’re busy with strategy, planning or priotitizing. – Stoyan Stefanov And I’m not even talking about other equally amusing activities such as updating your Gantt charts, percent task completion and WBS 😀

Go ahead, do a Yahoo search for “best programmer ever”. Not surprisingly #1 result is the blog of yours truly 🙂 For some inexplicable reason, I’m not #1 in Google search results for the same query. Bizarre, isn’t it? Not even on the first page. But hey, there a difference between being yet another piece […]

Just published my previous posting and saw that apart from putting it in the JSON and JS categories, I’ve forgotten to take out the WordPress’ default “Uncategorized” category. For a moment I wondered how many other people are making the same mistake, so I did a tag search in Technorati for Uncategorized. 7,102,321 posts! Compared […]

This post talks about how to make the snowflakes effect using YUI.

I remember reading a discussion over at Sitepoint – has the fun gone out of PHP? No it isn’t! No way, the fun is here… or should I say PHun 😉 Check this out – videos from a beer drinking contest at a PHP conference. I love how serious the gyus are, I mean, at […]

A funny thing – today I found out that there is the Town of Ajax, a city near Toronto, in my neighbouring Canadian province, Ontario (I’m in Quebec). It would take me about 6 hours 49 mins to get there. Anywone else want to move and join me in creating the newset coolest Web 2.0. company, based in Ajax, ON 😉
