If you are using Google and your are using the Personalised Home Page, by now you must have heard of “Google Gadgets” — those little applets that you add to your home page and you move around and align them as you wish. I personally think it’s great — I even went to the length […]

Protect your online content
This has happened to me recently: Normally I check my webservers logs regularly — partly to find out whether my page views have increased (if only 🙂 ), partly to see where my visitors come from (and more importantly to make sure that I get other visitors than my friends 🙂 ), partly to see […]
Fonts for Web Designers
This one goes to the web designers out there (definitely not me then 🙂 lol): I found this nice collection of fonts that can be used freely on web pages. Check out www.goodfonts.org — nice! Also, here is a good article on how to embed fonts in web pages. Hopefully the both of them will […]
Advertising, the Internet and Usability
If you are concerned with the usability of your site, you probably keep an eye like everyone else on Dr. Jakob Nielsen‘s site useit.com. While I agree with (most of) his views, there is one aspect that I do not agree with entirely: advertising. If you read his article “Advertising Doesn’t Work on the Web“, […]
J2ME and GPRS Connections
I liked from the beginning the idea of mobile and embedded programming so I spent a lot of time on mobile and embedded programming (see the mobile section on my website). More specifically, I spent a lot of time doing J2ME stuff. Recently, as a lot of you might know, there is a new API […]

As some of you might know already, I work nowadays in a company that started during the .com era. It’s a new internet media organization, specialized in net contextual advertising. Prior to that though, I used to work in a company offering enterprise solutions for document management. Most of their clients were large-scale companies with […]
How to enable right-clicking in Firefox browser
Note: The following only apply to Firefox — there is no equivalent in IE … yet! On the same subject as the one discussed previously: this is how to deal with websites which disable things like right-click on their pages — or elements of the page (images, divs, tables etc). So, first and foremost, bring […]
“Protecting” the online contents
So, have you checked out http://www.protware.com/ and their product that allegedely protects your online content from copy/paste/view source and so on… What a load of pants 🙂 Don’t they just realise that since you have to make at some point the unecrypted contents available to the browser (unless you’re going to use a plugin, which […]
