This site is created, maintained and all too frequently ignored by Martin Jacobsen. He earns his living as a versatile code monkey, although he is not particularly fond of cheetos, tab or mountain dew. He also has the attention span of a goldfish, and so what you might expect to find here may vary greatly from day to day. This day HTML/CSS, the other ActionScript and the next it’ll be reflections on Freud and his views on homosexuality. He is completely unapologetic about this.
Martin is nigh on 30 years old, single and the father of a beautiful baby girl which frequently scares him shitless. He also used to write even more infrequently about bipolar disorder and mental health at his another, now defunct blog. It isn’t there anymore. Boo-hoo. The topics resurface in bitesize chunks every now and then.
Martin hates most things that others find enjoyable in life and has yet to find out how to fill the gaping void in his black, twisted heart. His only hope is that when his daughter comes of age she will become a Jedi knight and knock some bloody sense into him with a light saber. With his luck she’ll probably turn out to be the kind of girl that goes for ponies and frilly clothing.
Infrequently asked questions
Want to send me a real question? Go here.
Why doesn’t your site validate?
The truth is that it mostly validates. If there’s no YouTube-videos or other stuff of that ilk, the XHTML is fine. The CSS has a few errors that mostly stems from my efforts to make the site look the same in all (real) browsers.Why does Internet Explorer 6 get the dull version of the site.
Because life is too freaking short. Go here, here or here to learn why you shouldn’t use it. Then go here, here or here and download a real browser.What’s all this about three blogs?
It’s nothing. Don’t think about it again. </jedimindtrick>.Enough the damn meta-talk. How about you? What’s your credentials?
You mean what’s my education? None. I wrote my first HTML-tag in the tender age of 16 (1996) and from there on I’ve thought I’d become a health-care worker, a politician, a graphic designer, an art director and lord knows what else. In the meantime I kept doing web-stuff on the side until I made it my full time job and passion in 2006. Ten years of messing around before I got to the point I suppose.Your code blew up my computer! What the hell?
If something unforeseen happened when you used any of my code, that’s very regrettable. However anything that is even remotely likely to be able to screw things up is clearly tagged “potentially dangerous and harmful stuff” to remind you to always be careful trying this stuff out. When that’s said; leave a comment or shoot me an email and let’s see what we can do.I couldn’t get your code to work.
Leave a comment describing your problem. I’ll help if I can.Your code sucks!
Leave a comment with your feedback and suggestions. If you’re not going to be constructive about it though; Fuck you.Do you really have that tattoo?
Yes.
