Releasing DOMAssistant 2.0 - Chainability, AJAX module, DOMReady, XPath and more

Published on Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Updated October 4th 2007

The DOMAssistantCompressed JavaScript file has been updated. My compression approach was a little too effective for the special DOMReady fix for Internet Explorer, so necessary code for optimal performance was unfortunately removed. This has now been addressed, so please download the new version if you use the compressed file.

Updated October 19th 2007

The DOMAssistantCompressed JavaScript file is updated again. I noticed a problem with the elmsByAttribute method in IE where the compression resulted in a wrong reference, returning incorrect results. Download the new version and it will be fine.

Tired but proud, I would like to announce the 2.0 release of DOMAssistant! Refactored code and new features will improve what is already a vital and must-have JavaScript library for me.

Where does the hard drive size go?

Published on Monday, September 10th, 2007

Something which has always been a problem for many people is disk space. No matter how much you have, you somehow mysteriously use up all of it. It makes me wonder why hard drives never have the claimed capacity.

Who uses the save button in the toolbar?

Published on Thursday, September 6th, 2007

In all programming software and IDEs there’s almost always a save button up there in the toolbar. To me, this has never made sense.

Published on Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

I completely missed the train this spring when betas for Spotify were given to a very select few, but the other day my brother had seen the service and was blown away! He called me and told me about it, so I just had to check into it too.

And from what I’ve heard, a lot of people have been impressed and satisfied with Opera Mini, so therefore I’d like to announce the Opera Mini 4 beta 2.
