Book review: “jQuery: Novice to Ninja”

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

I just finished reading “jQuery: Novice to Ninja” by Earle Castledine & Craig Sharkie, and I have to say – it was as delightful as it was disturbing: without a doubt it is this year’s must-read sleeper hit. The authors excel in propelling the reader on an epic personal journey that immerses them in the [...]

JavaScript games for iPhone

Wednesday, August 5, 2009

The good Mr Craig Sharkie (URL pending…) pointed me to a JavaScript game that was designed to run on the iPhone. Being a copycat, I decided to port my recently un-earthed platform game to be iPhone-friendly. Due to a serendipitous accident, the game was already 320×480 pixels – so all that was required was to [...]

Heads or Tails or “Other”

Tuesday, June 9, 2009

I’m no mathemagician, and Keno-Man is certainly indicating we should all be impressed… but I’m just not sure about these odds. Best leave the gambling to the gamblers, I s’pose.

JavaScript game: Corporate BFFs

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

Holy b-jezus! I found a whole treasure-chest of stuff I did in pre-2006 then let rot in the dank dungeons of my G: drive. Today’s resurrection: Corporate Best Friends Forever: a “memory” type game with a twist. All the cards are face up – you simply have to match the pairs. The twist? There are [...]

Pinball on YouTube

Friday, May 22, 2009

Lol! You spawn something new everyday. Quite by chance I came across a youtube video about “Hacking windows pinball” which reminded me of an article I wrote yonks ago called, strangely enough, Hacking Windows Pinball. “I wonder if it’s related?” I wondered. It was. It was just a video of the “hidden test” cheat I [...]

Turntubelist: Web master cuts faster!

Thursday, February 19, 2009

Well well well! You all thought that we was messing with you, didn’t you? You thought that the WebJam 8 win was nothing more than an elaborate hoax designed to bag some awesome prizes, didn’t you? No, friends, it wasn’t (though I’m totally going to do that for the next WebJam) for now the time [...]

Revenge of the Font Nerds

Wednesday, January 21, 2009

The first 15 times I watched Revenge Of The Nerds I was transfixed with the symbolism of the persecuted nerd: Like present-day rednecks, the nerd of 1984 represented one of the few remaining demographics where intolerance and ridicule were not only acceptable, but encouraged.
Of course, today’s nerds are revered and adored (though our pompous self-promotion [...]
