Imagine
Dec 12th, 2011Challenged 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 […]

May 14th, 2011There 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 […]
Silicon Valley (roughest place I’ve ever been)
Apr 16th, 2011Excuse 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 π […]
Another LOC
Feb 11th, 2011We 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 […]
Feliz Navidad Merry Christmas 2009
Dec 25th, 2009Disregarding 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 […]
Flipity flop – mmm.phpied.com
Nov 19th, 2009Randomly 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. […]
Help write the lyrics to “Give PNG a chance”
Sep 3rd, 2009As 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… π […]
Prayer to the God of Programming
Aug 12th, 2009Oh 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 π I believe the original is often attributed to Vonnegut, but I’m not sure he came up with it. I’m sure he […]
Seeing stars
Aug 8th, 2008It’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: […]

Project management for the rest of us
Jan 6th, 2008Life 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 π
The “best programmer ever”
Sep 17th, 2007Go ahead, do a Yahoo search for “best programmer ever”. Not surprisingly #1 result is the blog of yours truly π 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 […]
Uncategorized
Sep 27th, 2006Just 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 […]

PHP fun
May 6th, 2006I 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 π Check this out – videos from a beer drinking contest at a PHP conference. I love how serious the gyus are, I mean, at […]

Feb 25th, 2006A 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).
