CSS and mungenetengine

Sunday, June 30th, 2002

30 days to a More Accessible Weblog: Interesting Sunday reading, even if you are not a weblog-person. It details how to create more accessible sites in HTML. Spent some time adding title attributes to the a href's that the mungenetengine generates.
Got my first servlet working with Apache Tomcat. Also downloaded and using Eclipse 2.0 as [...]

Travel

Monday, June 24th, 2002

Now in Sydney, watching the sun rise over the CBD. Thanks to Qantas, got a late-stage upgrade to business class. Watched A Beautiful Mind, and slept for about 10 hours on the flight. In Sydney for all of three hours, then off to Auckland, New Zealand.
Now in cool, wintery Auckland, New Zealand. Some [...]

Travel Overload

Saturday, June 22nd, 2002

Another day, another flight. The plan: 2 hours at San Jose "international" airport. 1 hour flight San Jose to LAX. 5 hours layover. 14 hours LAX to Sydney. 3 hours layover. 3 hours Sydney to Auckland. Total = 29 hours "on the road". Yes, sports fans, jetsetting is a glamorous lifestyle [...]

Quark to InDesign

Monday, June 17th, 2002

Now in the good ole USofA
From Murdoch Mags ditches Quark: "For advertisers this means the pages can be kept open for a longer period and this gives our sales staff more time to sell advertising space in our magazines."

The New mungenetbar

Thursday, June 13th, 2002

The New mungnetbar
Using Visual Basic and Simon Fell's pocketSOAP, I created a small interface that communicates between my desktop and the server. There is a special SOAP interface to the database that permits remote updating of the mungenetengine without using the traditional web-based interface.

This is the mungenetbar. It sits at the bottom of my laptop's [...]

Reversing Footage in Premiere 6.0

Tuesday, June 11th, 2002

Reversing Footage in Premiere 6.0

A question from a customer in an email: how do you reverse a piece of footage in Premiere 6.0? I know how to do this in AfterEffects, but never looked at the problem in Premiere.

A few quick experiments later (what, read the manual?) - its even easier than I [...]

Video to India

Tuesday, June 11th, 2002

Video day today. Appeared in a soon-to-be-released show talking about Photoshop 7. Lots of fun flubbing lines and making a fool of myself. All for 2.5 minutes of air time. Felt like an info-mercial geek. Then later in the day on a video conference link to Noida (near New Delhi) in India. Didn't have to [...]

Coldfusion, SOAP

Monday, June 10th, 2002

90% completed a Visual Basic frontend to the mungenetengine. This should make it easier to update and edit some of the content on the site, with resorting to copy and paste. The original interface is a forms/web based thing.
Strange days. Had an email from a Dreamweaver/Coldfusion MX user saying that the Random Neil Finn Lyric [...]
