When I was still working for Opera, I remember suggesting up to several times to hire Jon Hicks to create a new logo for Opera. Now, it seems my dream has come true! Hopefully this means a new logo and a much more polished interface on all platforms. Congratulations to Opera!

Mercurial hosting – Bitbucket
A while back, my good friend Jesper Nøhr asked me if I was interested in working on a project with him. Of course I was interested, but little did I know then about the greatness of the application he was building. Introducing Bitbucket – Mercurial hosting. Jesper has written a nice blog post that describes [...]

Invitations
I haven’t blogged since May 7th, and I’m afraid I don’t have anything really interesting to share, other than that I’ve been working a lot the past month. More about that in a short while. I have received 5 invitations from Dreamhost, which means that if you sign up with them using one of my [...]

Opera Dragonfly
Finally – it’s official! Opera Dragonfly is out in an alpha release that looks really good. I’ve been playing around with it for a while in the internal 9.5 builds, and it’s helped me a out a number of times already. More importantly, it’s allowed me to debug errors without having to open Firefox with [...]

Project Euler
Jesper recently introduced me to Project Euler, and at first my reaction was “I won’t even bother trying that, I suck at math!”, but eventually I decided to give it a go. If anything this should be a great opportunity to get better at maths and as a result of that become a better developer. [...]

jquery/AJAX/TinyMCE
Here’s an issue I came across today: I’m updating an article in my CMS, using jquery.ajax, and everything works well, until I notice that the TinyMCE-textarea’s contents isn’t updated. My workaround/hack, in case someone runs into the same problem: Example JS-function: function send_form() { $.ajax({ type: ‘POST’, url: ‘foo.php’, data: $(‘form’).serialize() + ‘&article=’ + tinyMCE.getContent(‘article’), [...]

Dreamhost webmail
One of my biggest pet peeves with Dreamhost has always been their choice of webmail-client – Squirrelmail. Fortunately, they seem to have come to their senses, and now in beta: http://roundcube.dreamhost.com/! This is excellent news! I’ve given RoundCube a go, and it seems like a great alternative to Squirrelmail. If you’re a Dreamhost-user, give it a [...]

HTC Touch and Windows Live
I’ve recently purchased a HTC Touch, and I’m really pleased with it. The only major problem I’ve encountered so far, is that after a soft reset of the phone, Windows Live stops syncing contacts and email. After an hour of fruitless googling, and another hour of trial and error, here’s what I had to do [...]

SMTP port blocking
I recently started having problems with outgoing email, and it turned out that my ISP has blocked port 25. Fortunately, Dreamhost* (as well as most other large providers, I’m sure) support RFC 2476, meaning you can use port 587 instead of 25 for outgoing email. So if you’re experiencing problems sending email, try changing the SMTP [...]
