Comparison between my generated images and IKEA advertisement

August 21st, 2008

A couple years ago I wrote a small java-program that generated a large image from a collection of thumbnails. I tested the software using thumbnails from the IKEA website.

Since the beginning of this week, IKEA is doing a advertisement on the street that resemble my old computer generated images quite well.

Could IKEA advertising agency have seen my old images;-)

iPhone keyboard is controlled by language settings

August 21st, 2008

I usually run OS with English as language for the localized text and Swedish for keyboard input locale.
However, on the iPhone the keyboard layout for swedish differ (!!) if I change international settings on the iPhone.
Look how Å and Ä are in a much more inconvenient place when using enlish locale. I am still using Swedish for the keyboard layout (mellanslag is swedish for space).

How come pop out is not controlled by keyboard locale?

Badge code in countupdown

August 19th, 2008

I added possibility to create your own badge for countupdown. Click on an arbitrary counter and you will find badge code if you click the Toggle badge code>>.

Seems to be very buggy in other browsers than Safari (remember til next time, TEST). :-( Back to the drawing table.

I had to use </script> instead of <sript ….. />.

Countupdown as Dashboard Widget

June 18th, 2008

Someone found a neat way to utilise my countupdown application as a Web clip widget in OS X’s Dashboard.

Use Make Text smaller (cmd -) in Safari before using Web clip feature to make it smaller.
