After finding the script that caused all my stress, and several ftp accounts on my account that ... http://jeroensmeets.net/open-letter-to-my-ex-hosting-company/ Over the years, I have started a couple of last.fm projects. All have one thing in common: they provide a way to display covers on your site, and do it more elegantly than the standard last.fm widget. One of the things that really bugged me about my projects was the ... http://jeroensmeets.net/just-like-starting-over/ Mozilla is working on location awareness in browsers connected through a wireless network. For Firefox 3 a plugin was released, and it was suggested it will be in the core of Firefox 3.1. It seems silly to let your browser determine where your laptop is -- as a co-worker put ... http://jeroensmeets.net/geode/ On "Signals vs. Noise" at 37signals a challenge was published -- first person to solve the (image of the) maze gets a $50 dollar discount.

It does. That's egocentric browsertesting for ya. It's nice to have a couple of tabs open without the airconditioning going into overdrive. Let's explore. http://jeroensmeets.net/chrome/ Back from my holiday in Germany (very nice, thank you). I've updated Run for cover to version 2.0.1 2.0.2 2.0.3, slightly less in beta now.

The biggest one is the one that Rose pointed out, and I hadn't seen yet. Thanks, Rose! She saw that if you selected 'get more images if necessary', the plugin didn't display the correct images. I ... http://jeroensmeets.net/new-version-and-project-plans/ This was a big one for me -- implementing the new last.fm API. I have submitted my changes to wordpress.org, so you should see a message on the plugins page that the new version is available.
