This is nothing to do with javascript but I am on a holiday, after all… Bit gutted to find that my otherwise excellent Newport Sandals by Keen have started to pack it in after 2 seasons of tear and wear – it seems they were not as water resistant as I was initially led to believe. Nasty side effect –… Read more →
Whilst reading on XSS attacks today, I found this recently reported exploit in CubeCart 4 that can gain an attacker full administrative access to the store. Not only that, it can help them dump your entire store DB – products, cats, users, orders, the works. Anyway, you get the idea. “CubeCart responded and informed their customers about this vulnerability” –… Read more →
This is not much of a post but a bit of a rant. “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to”, right? I have a problem with jQuery–not with the framework as such, but with some of its users. And who in their right mind wouldn’t be getting the amp when just about any webdev site, forum and… Read more →
There’s yet another one of these problems that are inherently weaved deep into CubeCart that you just wouldn’t know about… It displays different versions of pages to search engines and to humans, namely–it disables the shopping basket and checkout functionality as well as the login and registration. First of all, needs to be said that troubleshooting this and finding the… Read more →
If you happen to play games like quakelive or WOW and need your connection to be smooth and without lag, then Windows Vista is going to disappoint you. A lot… The problem: every 60 seconds or so, Windows Vista does a wireless sweep that looks for any available wi-fi networks in your vicinity. Which is great but in doing so,… Read more →
largerBox has received a massive update! First of all, the function interface has changed! It now is no longer a snippet, it has been namespaced and organised: var largerBox = { version: function() { return 2.1; // 17/05/2009 14:18:40 }, init: function(options) { // by default it works on image links with the class ‘fullImage’ // set other defaults. var… Read more →
Some web dev I am–thanks to google adwords I on this very site I only just noticed an advert by microsoft for downloading IE8… Not how I should have found out about it but it beats not knowing at all, I guess. I wonder how many issues this will introduce and how complicated my life will soon become… grab it… Read more →
Hot off the press, ID have managed to sign on an advertising partner (play.com, no less) for in-game animated banners in QuakeLive that eat away your FPS. Took these screenshots of DM6 earlier with the irresistible offer to purchase the Quantum of Solace DVD… This really helps my already struggling laptop to cope with things… I wonder if there will… Read more →
Lately I have been playing with the RC1 release of IE8 and to my shock-horror, it makes a total mockery of many of the pages I administer and run. To the rescue is the so called ‘compatibility’ mode, created as a layer that allows your sites to look, feel and function exactly as they did in IE7. Allegedly, the magic… Read more →
Everyone has been down that route – trying to make a good search. Most have failed… The one thing that really annoys me when shopping around are searches on sites that give you irrelevant results. For instance, take a search for ‘black pack’ – I think you’d agree, a generic string with which I’d expect to get ‘backpacks’ and ‘daypacks’… Read more →
