Clare go down to the Premier county

Jun 7th, 2005   9:15 am

In a poor performance in even poorer weather conditions, the Banner went down to an on-form Tipperary team on Sunday, in the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. Having started out the day stuck in traffic for 45 minutes in Ennis, I should have felt an unease about the day, but I didn’t. I knew it was going to be a tough game to claim, despite many Clare fans thinking it would be easy, and many Tipp fans writing it off. The 2 games Tipp had against Limerick certainly brought them up to Munster Championship class and, thus, completely outclassed Clare at every position on the field.

This is just a confirmation that Murphy’s law of insurance also applies to mobile/cell phone inusrance cover. As soon as you cease the cover, your phone will be lost/stolen. Confirmed.

Issue with window icon and system variables, when launching CygWin with a keyboard shortcut key

May 17th, 2005   10:27 am

The scenario is this. I have a Microsoft Natural Pro keyboard (to encourage me to type better, but we all know the concept, in itself, is ridiculous, let alone the practicing of it). I’ve redefined the Back key (meant to be used with a web browser) to launch a Cygwin shell. All works fine, except 2 things. Firstly, the icon, displayed in the window title bar, is not the CygWin icon, but rather the generic Command.exe icon. Also, system variables set (using the environment variables dialog in Computer/System properties) don’t reflect in new shell windows opened.

Wondering why parseInt( “08” ) returns 0, in Javascript?

Apr 21st, 2005   9:14 pm

Well it looks like JS is defaulting to base 8 in it’s parseInt routine. There are 2 workarounds that I’ve come across (once you get over the initial reaction of what the hell use is base8 in a scripting language):

  1. use parseInt( strExpression, 10 ) .. to force decimal
  2. use Number( strExpression ) .. if you’re doing simple numerics

htmlarea beta 3 and IE SSL “nonsecure items” altert

Apr 14th, 2005   2:19 am

If you’re using the sort-of discontinued HTMLArea v3 beta from within an https/SSL URL, then you’ll probably have come across Internet Explorer popping up an alert saying there is a mix of secure and nonsecure items. Well the problem is that IE doesn’t like IFRAME tags with no src attribute set, when in an SSL environment. Whilst Googling on this problem, I got the impression that this is a known issue.
