I’ve been doing some hefty MooTools development lately, and I ran into a odd ball error in that endeavor. I put it aside for a while, ignoring it while I worked on other code. Eventuallly, I had to face it though, so here are my remarks in that journey. First, the error in question is [...]
If you’re reading this, you’re probably realizing that you forgot the CSS3 rounded corner syntax or you’re lost. Anyway, I always forget the syntax for the border radius property. It’s not hard or anything, but it’s not, rounded-corner: 5px or anything obvious like that. That said, it’ll be a dream come true when Webkit, Gecko, [...]
In the final two hours of Macroeconomics, we were being silly and made lolcats like images making of things in the news or whatever we wanted, with an economic theme. One of the first jokes we wrote was about Farmville. I really hate Farmville. My parents play and loads of my school friends play. It [...]
On a recent attempt to stream the Japan-A-Radio Fanimecon show, I had a really bad case of skipping and shuddering. To solve it, I figured I’d change the amount VLC buffers the connection. It turns out that this doesn’t work the way it seems like it should. What it seems like changing the buffer amount [...]
I had to join two models together in order to search them properly. In this special case, it was pagination. I was browsing the cookbook for anything that could help and I did in fact find joining tables. I was doing something kind of bizarre and probably bad practice, but with CakePHP, there are no [...]

One of the errors that I encountered during development was this oddity: Uncaught Error: INDEX_SIZE_ERR: DOM Exception 1 After making sure every value was absolutely defined in the code and still getting the error, I was stumped. I asked on twitter what causes [...]
Passing optional information by URL is pretty easy in CakePHP. The Paginator does this all the time with the page:2 type-urls. Accessing the power of URL parameters, as CakePHP calls them, is slightly confusing at first. It’s not a method call or anything. Using $this->params is the location for URL parameters. If you run a [...]
On Thursday, May 20th, I was absolutely honored to be awarded with the Outstanding Mathematics Student – Special Google Computer Award from the Central High School Mathematics Department. The award was a certificate and a computer! The computer came with a backpack with the Google and Lenovo logos embroidered on it. The Lenovo G550 laptop [...]
Last week, our project was to work on Greenfoot Greeps, the first Greeps competition project from 2007. If you’ve read my commentary about Greenfoot before, then you know just how much fun Greenfoot is. Greeps is a little scenario game where you have little aliens that absolutely love tomatoes. The deal is that you have [...]
