Typekit: A Designer’s Godsend
Posted April 1, 2010 – 01:40 in: dhp1080, syndicatedSince virtually the beginning of the web, universally identical fontography has been a problem. Every platform ships with different fonts which render differently in nearly every browser. However, with the advent of Typekit, utilizing obscure fonts to achieve design perfection has become feasible.
Since very early versions of Internet Explorer (I’m talking version 4.0), the @font-face [...]
Bits of Recent Life
Posted March 27, 2010 – 00:00 in: dhp1080, syndicatedIf you haven’t noticed, I’ve been tweaking my latest blog design non-stop; adding features, fixing glitches, etc. I even re-enabled access to super-old posts (apparently people can’t stop visiting my silly tutorial on CSS bar graphs). However, I haven’t had much time to talk about much else.
Sadly, my recent design / development world has been [...]
New Design For The Win
Posted March 23, 2010 – 23:00 in: dhp1080, syndicatedFollowing a few months of stagnation (thanks to a busy college schedule), I got around to doing a redesign here. I’m taking it in a much simpler direction for the time being. One post at a time, linear newer/older navigation, plenty of room for stories, no comments. I like how it has turned out thus [...]

Posted March 23, 2010 – 23:00 in: Famicoman, syndicatedI recently purchased a blue lineman’s handset for $12. It is quite an interesting piece of hardware. At first glance, it looks like a standard handset, but upon further review there are characteristics that set it apart. On the back of the handset is a rotary dial used for dialing numbers, a hook to connect [...]

Posted February 25, 2010 – 12:20 in: Nullamatix, syndicatedAnselm, the “inventor of dwm” shared this information with the suckless mailing list yesterday. Apparently, Wikipedia has flagged the dwm (dynamic window manager from suckless.org) article for deletion. Anselm says he’s neutral and shared his thoughts on the Wikipedia Page, but what does this say about Wikipedia? A community built on free and open source [...]

Posted February 19, 2010 – 10:20 in: IPTV Archive, syndicatedWell, the archive is at something of a standstill again. I definitely have more to put up, but it does indeed take a while to sort through everything, find episode descriptions, etc.
On the left side of the page, there is a new section called “WANTED” which houses a list of missing shows/episodes, meaning I [...]
Video Packratism
Posted February 13, 2010 – 08:20 in: Famicoman, syndicatedSome people know me as the IPTV guy. That is to say that I have a lot of independent media that has been distributed over the internet, which makes me something of a video packrat. I used to simply collect it. I kept RSS feeds, and downloaded episodes when they came out. I attended IRC [...]

Posted January 19, 2010 – 00:00 in: Silivrenion, syndicatedThere are many parts of Windows that are useful for the power user, but none so useful and important as opening an elevated privilege command prompt window!
Windows, by default, does not run programs as administrator in Vista and 7. This is for the user’s protection, and is controlled by User Account Control. You can, fortunately, [...]
Use Trillian Astra to Simplify Messaging
Posted January 17, 2010 – 23:40 in: Silivrenion, syndicatedOh, Trillian. I remember when you were just a wee toddler, now you’re all big and grown up now! Trillian has always been one of the popular choices for instant messaging clients, however with the advent of Trillian Astra in late 2009, Cerulean Studios has nearly reinvented the game once more and provided a better [...]
