12/02/09--13:28: Hello world! (chan 3115007)

There is no long story. My blog in Lithuanian will have a second birthday in 5 days. Here’s my present to myself. I write, you read and comment ??? PROFIT! Oh, and yes, you’re right – now that I have a blog, I will not update it frequently.


12/02/09--15:32: javascript:void(0) must die (chan 3115007)

Pretty much two weeks ago I dropped my notes from FullFrontal 2009 onto developer’s forum at work. And one full colleague of mine enquired why did I say that “javascript:void(0) must die”. I didn’t really have a chance to follow it up until now (happy birthday, dear blog). It doesn’t do anything, it just sits there! Now, [...]


12/19/09--08:03: ASP.NET MVC generates invalid ClientIDs (chan 3115007)

This week I had a joy of spending several hours trying to solve and intermitently happening bug. In short, some 2 times out of 3 the YUI selector utility failed to lookup elements in an XHR loaded HTML fragment. After digging quite deep into the YUI code, I found that it was actually the fault [...]


01/18/10--14:09: Benchmark: HTML outlining/TOC scripts (chan 3115007)

A bit over a week ago Chris Heilmann published a post on table of contents generators, where he listed a couple of JavaScript methods to do that. It’s been always in the plans to optimize the performance of my own implementation of the HTML5 outlining routine – and what better way to measure it, than [...]


04/07/10--13:40: Just how much does performance matter? (chan 3115007)

I have recently moved my dedicated server to a new provider. I mostly did this for pricing reasons, but there’s also the benefit of network speed, as most of my visitors and now – the server itself – are in Europe. This move, coupled with a few optimizations, has opened my eyes towards some data [...]


05/16/10--15:42: (Solved) troubles with Ubuntu, VirtualBox, OpenVZ/Proxmox and MySQL (chan 3115007)

Positive start: my new Dell XPS 8100 is now ready for work. To achieve that I had to overcome a couple of puzzlers. They were mostly related to my weird requirements, which I guess are not the common set up path… The weird setup The choice of desktop OS is sort of trivial – Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid [...]


11/03/10--18:08: Opera Extensions: messaging example (chan 3115007)

I already vented out my frustration with examples that have flaws, so this one is more constructive and tries to actually explain and solve things. You’re welcome to skip all of that and just get the example code. It may not be 100% correct, it may have it’s own flaws, and obviously it may soon become [...]


08/14/11--08:26: DublinJS August meetup kata (chan 3115007)

I’m doing a kata for this month’s meetup of Javascript Dublin group and my choice is Roman Numerals. It’s simple enough and it also demos some interesting transformations of the code during the whole TDD process (if you stick to the mantra of “write the simplest possible thing”). I found that I could also put [...]
