Feed me: Comics

I have quite a lot of RSS feeds I read as some sort of daily routine. My feed-reader of choice has been Google Reader for some time now.

Today I’ll share all the online comics I’m reading. Other feeds will follow some day :)
Feel free to introduce me to other comics.

Merry Xmas And A Happy New Year

Kind of hard to concentrate on all these important projects I’m working on right now during the holidays (and my birthday too ;) ), but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

What projects am I talking about?

  • a web shop for movies (Java Server Faces, Ajax4JSF, Hibernate and some other libraries)
  • Gamers Initiative, a community site for game developers and gamers (Ruby On Rails)
  • an advertisement site, let users create advertisements and submit them to magazines and/or newspapers . (ASP.NET, C#)
  • creating a little experiment (some kind of poll) for the thesis my girlfriend is writing. I’ve been experimenting with some PHP frameworks, but haven’t decided which one I’ll use. So far Symphony (MVC-framework) and Prado (framework similar to ASP.NET) are fun and fast to use, though they both are very different.

    I also tried Zend Framework and CodeIgniter, but they got me less excited. I don’t like the way database abstraction is done in Zend, and CodeIgniter is too limited in several ways.

A bit late for Christmas, but I’d like to say: a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I wish you all a good health, lots of love, a good web year and everything else you might need.

Code example: Search Engine, Bookmark & Usability Friendly Ajax

An big problem with loading content in your page with javascript, is that this content can’t be seen by search-engines.
But this problem can be overcome, see this little code example I wrote.

What can this do?

  • All pages can be used with Javascript disable
  • You can bookmark a page that was loaded with javascript, thanks to RHS
  • The back and forward buttons of the browser are still functional

To write this, I used the jQuery javascript framework and the RHS library

You can test the example online. Or download it.
