Eclipse CVS show history tags column stretched out

Posted by: pureessence on: March 12, 2010

Gosh, I managed to double click on the show history tags column one time viewing a file that has gazillion tags. That stretched the tags column out of its capacity. There seems to be no way at least in UI to get that back to normal size so I can see the columns to the [...]

Posted by: pureessence on: February 14, 2010

Very nice jQuery session timeout countdown example with the use of the jQuery idleTimer plugin. Here’s my example with the jQueryUI dialog as the warning. Here’s my example with the jQueryUI dialog as the warning.

Stupid IE does it again

Posted by: pureessence on: February 12, 2010

I just learned IE does not support jQuery’s new live (event delegation) binding on the change event. Very nice IE, you did it again.

jQueryUI dialog as loading screen (replace blockUI)

Posted by: pureessence on: January 29, 2010

I like being able to manually control my loading screen with my ajax calls. Previously I was using the blockUI jQuery plugin. It’s a great plugin.

However, I just learned about its command line feature today when I was reading this peeling away jQuery wrapper [...]

Mystique Theme

Posted by: pureessence on: January 9, 2010

I spent most of the day customizing the Mystique wordpress theme. The theme is ridiculously great. It has all of the features I’d ever dream of. In fact, I got rid of some of my plugins + widgets because this theme covers them. Also, the theme author uses jQuery on all of the UI effects. [...]
