Infrequent updates until August, 14th

Saturday, July 15, 2006 – 16:33

I will be on a four week long vacation from today, and even though I will be at home now and then I will not have too much time to spend on the Internet. Therefore, expect longer delays when it comes to writing here as well as reading your comments or e-mails. Cheers!

Internet Explorer background-position bug

Wednesday, June 28, 2006 – 11:59

I have now totally given up all hope of fixing a specifig bug in the image gallery that occurs in Internet Explorer 6. Click the following image to get to see the bug:

22028

The image gallery uses floating next/prev buttons over the images to allow for fast navigation. In Firefox (and all other correct browsers) the “Next Image” and “Previous Image” links appear and disappear in a logical fashion. Now look at it in Internet Explorer. The images do not disappear when the mouse is un-hovered from the photo. They are stuck until some kind of refresh event occurs, like minimizing and maximizing the window.
I have decided to keep it the way it is, since it actually is a non-critical bug and easy to live with.

For more technical information, see this webpage.

The conclusion? Avoid Internet Explorer and switch to Firefox!

CSS tweaks, slight updates

Wednesday, June 28, 2006 – 07:42

As you blogreaders probably already noticed, I have made some tweaks to the blog’s appearance. I tweaked the category pages, they are now even readable, and the blog posts have been more visually attractive. IE still bugs me, so the layout is really messy there, but hang in and I will improve it as soon as I find what’s wrong.
I have also installed awstats for my virtual hosts to see the usage statistics for all the webpages. Using this guide, setting up awstats for virtual hosts was a breeze. I can finally see how many visitors I get for my site in a detailed way.

Also, my father has finally released his website for the sailing yacht Nordisk Familjebåt that we own. Running Plone, it is one of the most advanced homepages for a boat in Sweden.

Server upgrades

Saturday, June 24, 2006 – 15:09

Since the rest of the family is away during midsummer, I have taken this occasion as a chance to do some upgrades to the server park.

I have replaced the router/webserver/dns box with a brand new Ubuntu installation, which will be easier to manage than the old gentoo system. That system had been running for about two years, but had become almost unmanagable as time went on. Ubuntu is a lot easier to upgrade, thanks to apt-get and binary packages.

So if you have seen this site as offline the last days, this was the reason why.

#100

Monday, June 19, 2006 – 11:30

This is my hundreth post on this blog! I have written since September 2005, which means that I have averaged 10 posts per month, or one post every third day. The trend is increasing, though, since I recently started blogging more serious and use this blog, which was in a hibernated state for a long time before May.

I hope to attract even more of you readers, stay along!

Googling my blog

Friday, June 2, 2006 – 12:21

I am having problems with my blog getting fond on Google. As it seems, it has never been indexed even though I’ve been having the blog here for almost a year. I have submitted the site several times, although nothing happens. I will have to investigate further about this issue.
