I learned a few new tricks recently that I thought are pretty cool. If you use apache log4j, you can get very frustrated sometimes that it does not log based on what you defined in your log4j.properties file. This is because if your java web application contains other jars that also have log4j.properties, the log4j [...]

Saw this link getting dugg today. Despite a huge CSS fan, I have to agree with one of the comments. The fact that getting a 3 column layout in CSS is a feat of wonder is an indication that something is terribly wrong with the standard. Building this layout should be obvious, intuitive, and in [...]

Eclipse run java code easily
Posted by: pureessence on: December 11, 2008
Eclipse has a scrapbook function that allows you to run Java code on the fly. Sometimes you just want to test out a simple piece of code without having to create another Java class, execute it in the main method or create a junit to test it out. For example, today I wanted to make [...]

It’s actually possible to print text upside down using a simple CSS property and works cross-browser today. The property to use is “text-gravity” with a value of “inverse”. … and this is the result: ʇxǝʇ uʍop ǝpısdn ǝʇıɹʍ I’m really surprised to learn that so few people know about this property, and I recommend you to continue reading [...]

I saw another custom font solution today: typeface Instead of creating images or using flash just to show your site’s graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS, just as if your visitors had the font installed locally. A while ago, I blogged about the [...]

I’m still unhappy how I lost the jQuery battle at work. Although I’m not banned from using it but hey this is encouraging! jQuery may just win the javascript framework battle at least in the popularity category. Other frameworks are just not as user friendly IMO.
