I’ve made my first jQuery plugin :) It’s called jSpeaker. It will read text that’s within a selected object. It uses the google translate speak/listen function. Check the jquery plugin page or the project page form more info, samples and documentation.

I found a real strange bug. A client of mine has two sites. One I host, the other is hosted by a 3th party. Now the client has a domain control panel for the other site and rerouted the other domain to the one I host, but the system just makes a frameset. Not real SEO, but okay. After a few days bug reports came in. Can not log in etc. Can only be the sessions? But after testing I found that the bug only appears in Internet Explorer (tested only 8) and only on the rerouted domain, not the one I host. Fix was easy. Just added a little javascript to break out of the top frameset and everyting was working again. I think it’s Microsoft’s Phishing filter that is kicking in, but have to test further.

Here’s my litte fix: :-)

if(top.frames.length){
top.location.href = self.location.href;
}


Yes! My love is working again! I broke my touch screen last month and had to fall back on my Nokia 9300i. Not nice when you are used to an iPhone! After some calls to some iCenters and Apple stores, I found that it was not possible to fix my iPhone trough regular channels. After some googling I found a small company here in the Netherlands that was happy to send me a new screen for €49,- excl. €7,- shipping. So I ordered one and within two days I had my screen! Best service ever! So if some part of your iPhone is broken, check this site for parts: www.ipod-service.nl The company can fix your phone too, if you want to send your iPhone to them, so give them an e-mail if you have questions! Real nice people!

IE6 is an hell, I’ve posted this more than ones, but now there is a new online campaign, that tries to move the current IE6 users to upgrade there browser. savethedevelopers.org I’ve added the little simple javascript line to my site, to help all MSIE 6 users to upgrade to a better browser. IE6 is a hell for developers, so more and more developers are skipping the ie6 compatibility. I do! I just leave the non working features out for IE6 browsers… When you have a IE7, Firefox, Safari or Opera, the features will work fine. So please, help to save the developers and upgrade your IE6!

I was so busy for the last few months! So here is an update about the stuff I was doing the last few months. I’m building a new online web store for the chopperdome that is completely linked to there Exact Globe 2003 administration/accounting system. A lot of work! Also bought a HTC Touch Cruise four weeks ago. Will post some hacks and applications I’ve found use full in the next few weeks. Also bin busy with jQuery. A javascript lib that rules! I use it now for about 6 months and I do everything with it! Check a site I build with only jQuery: jolet.eu Bought a new laptop, a MacBook Pro. Will also post some hacks and apps when I find the time ;) Have a windows partition on it of 20 Gb. Was 5 Gb… To small for my Visual Studio installation. So had to expand it. That is not a great idea to do when you don’t use time machine!! Have Parallels on it for now, but I think that VMware Fusion is a better plan to buy… Have to check some speed tests. That is it 4 now. I promise I will post some kewl stuff soon ;)
