"The internet is just a layer on the real world" (don't forget that!)

Første gang Anita har en veninde med hjemme fra børnehaven!

besøg 3½ år gammel er efterhånden, hun går i børnehave og er glad for det. En af de ting som viser os at hun er glad for at gå i den børnehave hun nu er i, er at hun har været meget hurtig til at få veninder.

Idag blev så dagen hvor hun for første gang havde en veninde med hjem. Det gik godt. Men børn i den alder er ikke sådan rigtig istand til at lege sammen – de leger nærmest ved siden af hinanden. Anita er enebarn og havde da også et par gange lidt svært ved at skulle dele domaine med en veninde.

Jeg sætter ikke et billede på, da jeg ikke først har aftalt det med venindens forældre – men lad mig så prøve at beskrive billedet. Man ser to børn, en mørk pige med mørkt hår og en lys pige med helt lyst hår. De sidder på gulvet og fylder munden med Buggles! Man kunne sætte sig på en stol eller i sengen – mine knæ ville i hvert fald have foretrukket det! Men piger på 3 år har jo ingen problemer i den retning – og så er gulvet jo så dejlig nært. De sidder og kigger på en tegnefilm og er meget optaget af det (og så lige at spise Buggles!).

Det var altså en helt ny ting for far, mor og Anita – en ny æra er begyndt. Nu går far så bare og venter på at hun tager hendes 15 årige teenage veninder med hjem! ;-) Nej, spøg til side, det var rart at opleve – og nu er det så snart Anitas tur til at besøge en veninde! Stort!

How to avoid text being converted to graphics

In Xara Web Designer (XWD) you create designs/layouts using a vector based drawing program. You can add textareas, images, buttons, navigation and other web related elements. XWD automatically creates the HTML content and the relevant graphics. It is a cheap, easy, effective and fast tool for static webpages building!

As with all other programs some of the features need to be twisted to create the result you want. For instance if you need text to be placed on a graphic element without the text turning into graphics. The file here shows and instructs you how to achieve this.

If you do not already have a copy of XWD, why not try the 30 days free trial version? (even if the product is priced at a ridiculous cheap price of £ 39!).

The product has a great forum where you can discuss the product, read how-to, see what other are achieving and so on. It is placed a talkgraphics.com.

Here is the : avoidTextBeingConvertedToGraphics.web

Dipity – Its worth remembering

Its worth remembering – sites which were hits, many visited it – all such sites are shown here in a visual timeline. I personally like to get some help remembering things, one of the main reasons for blogging is exactly that: when I thing something is it! So that I will remember it (oh and you might find it interesting also!).

I think that I own the people who made me find this “dipty” site, the line of persons and sites are like this:

  1. My wife – she accepted an invitation to visit
  2. Her collegue Pia and her husbond
  3. Hans – who mentioned
  4. The danish TV show “Spam“, who had a story about Dipity

There you are – the information path leading me to find Dipty! :-) Oh, I almost forgot – You should also remember to visit ffffound.com/

It’s a dream: Serverside javascript!

I know that nothing is perfect, but today I saw a server running ! It is based on the mozilla javascript engine which means that it understands the same level of javascript that Firefox does!

So is this a dream?
Well to start with I love javascript! It’s so flexible and fits very well for the internet. With the many very APIs appearing nowadays – like , prototype and other – you would be able to use the same terms, methodes and datastructures on both client- as well as server-side! Google and Yahoo are building serious javascript free APIs which you simply use on the server rather than on the browser.

I just watched a video showing an where a RSS feed is fetched as XML, transformed using XSLT and added to the DOM using various javascript APIs. Server side that is!

You would be able to manipulate the DOM using javascript syntax and APIs before the page is returned to the browser.

But how do I get it?
Well you can get locally by downloading Aptana framework, which is also very powerfull in general – even if you do not want to play around with serverside javascript.

It is mentioned that it has its own JAXER server, not sure if it means that you will be able to host it only some places… time will show! For now I keep on dreaming!
