Thrust 2010

Those of you who playtested it know it already, for all the others, I’d like to announce the first release of Thrust 2010. It’s a HTML5/canvas game inspired by the old C64 classic, redone for mouse-driven interface. So far it contains 6 levels of agility / shooting fun.

Annotating DOM nodes with JSON, Part 2

It’s been a while since I wrote Annotating DOM nodes with JSON and in retrospective I can say that I never really used the method described in a real life project. Now I’d like to present another method of decorating DOM nodes with JSON based on classes. This

Rumspielen mit RaphaelJS

Recently I stumbled across what I later found out is known as Morley’s trisector theorem. “Trisect the angles of any triangle and you’ll find an equilateral triangle at its heart.” — A Better Nature This inspired me to do some javascript coding with the help of RaphaelJS (a very

Scripting JSON

Doing a lot of web stuff and fiddling around with CouchDB, I really got to like JSON as versatile format for things. Installing the JSONView extension for firefox really helps with working with JSON in the browser, but what I’ve been missing so far is an easy way to

OpenSAGA

As you may have noticed, I often have very long phases where I don’t really blog about anything tech. This is most often caused by me not really having to write anything about that is not too connected to my day job. While the technical contents of this blog

The fight with Eclipse

Somehow I seem doomed to be in a constant love/hate relationship with my IDE of choice. Nowadays that’s Eclipse. On one hand, I don’t want to do any Java development without the refactoring tools and source helpers that Eclipse provides, on the other hand I find myself

Google Closure Tools

Some days ago, Google released the Google Closure Tools, that look very promising. I’ve yet been unable to feel particular enthusiasm for the Google Closure Library which seems like just another JavaScript (-only)? libary, something that may only be of any importance because it’s coming from Google, but

Hood: example application for jcouchdb 0.10.0-1

On the occasion of presenting CouchDB and jcouchdb at my place of work, I got around to finally create a small example application that is now downloadable as sneak preview. There need to be bugs fixed, features implemented and lots of documentation to be added, but it kind of works.

YUIZilla Compressor

After again spending time to fix issues resulting from a collision of the yuicompressor jar and the normal rhino jar in one of my projects, I came up with a more radical solution: 1. Download the source codes from yuicompressor and the corresponding rhino release 2. Replace every occurance of

JsServ – Serverside Javascript and DOM emulation

I played around with some ideas about JavaScript on the server-side and came up with this little prototype. It’s a set a spring components that allow running the scripts in a website on the server side in case a user has no support for JavaScript or has disabled it.

Separate it!

One of the most important practices when developing complex web applications is to seperate them into different layers. This applies to the server side as well as to the client side of things. On the client side the separation usually is: * Content The content of the web application expressed in

Annotating DOM nodes with JSON

One problem when trying to do “The Right Thing ™” and separate your webdesign into different layers is what to do when you need additional information to transform your nicely id and class annotated DOM nodes into fancy, javascript-enabled goodness: Where do you store that information? How do you associate it

Dojo Javascript Compression and IE conditional compilation

I often use the dojo javascript compressor system which is a very nice way to reduce the site of larger js libs. It uses the Rhino javascript interpreter to reduce the size of all local variables and removes all unessecary spaces and comments — but most importantly it keeps the external
