Update: Bug squashed. So buried deep in the archives there was a comment in which the author had innocently copy/pasted the characters “⌃ ⌥ ⌘” from my post. This was for some reason not sanitized in the SQL, which somehow borked the XMLRPC endpoint to the blog. This in turn meant that tools such as [...]

Ada II: Lovely comic rediscovered
December 13, 2009 – 07:49
Just a quick one to say that although I still think it makes more sense, I retract my original proposal of making the 10th of December “Ada Lovelace day” out of respect for the efforts over at Finding Ada. We had a short exchange on Twitter and I was assured that something was being planned [...]

New blog!
December 3, 2009 – 16:03
No no. I’m not about to start a kerfuffle about changing the location and / or name of my blog again. I just wanted to make sure you’ve heard about the new ria.creuna.com site. Basically me and the other RIA-developers broke out and started our own blog. If you like the code, geek and tech [...]

Heads and bodies
April 9, 2009 – 13:01
I always knew this day would come. My claim to brief internet fame and niche uniqueness is at an end. It’s just too awesome an idea 1 for someone else not to have it. There’s no denying that both her head and body outpretties mine by far, so my only counterpoint here is that A: [...]
The blog is dead. Long live the blog!
March 19, 2009 – 14:37
If you managed to visit this blog in the 10 minutes or so before this post goes live you might have been slightly befuddled by the fact that your address bar doesn’t say parallaxdenigrate.net as you might have expected, but rather ctrloptcmd.com. So I’ve finally moved the blog to a new domain, and let me [...]

Experiment concluded
December 19, 2008 – 17:18
If you read this post, or maybe the FAQ on the about-page you probably know that the blog you’re reading is one of a triumvirate consisting of Parallax Denigrate dealing with tech stuff, Sleep Furiously dealing with mental hygiene and United States of Martin which collected the posts from the two in one “catch-all” site. [...]
Kudos
September 13, 2008 – 12:19
Every once in a while in between loads of spam 1 someone adds a thoughtful comment on a blog. Nothing particularly interesting to other readers perhaps, just a “Good job”, “Well put” or “Thanks for sharing”. It’s a wonderful thing to anyone that ever puts a bit of heart into a post and if you’re [...]

I suppose it’s unavoidable

Chrome! And that’s all I have to say about that.1 Footnotes: For now at least. I may speak up if I feel I can come up with anything worthwhile without pissing in the ocean to make it warmer. ↩

FUGN is back
August 26, 2008 – 15:43
Probably only interesting if you’re based in Norway (yet, who knows?), but I thought I’d give you all a heads up that FUGN – Flash User Group Norway is starting up again after a lengthy summer vacation. The first meeting is this coming monday, and the details can be found at the FUGN website (^^). [...]
