weather.tcl

Today, after I decided to hang out in #eggtcl on EFnet, someone asked the following:

<daILLeST> anyine know of a weather tcl that actually works? All the ones I find are outdated, or in another language…

Scan to Excel

This week I’ve mostly been trying to figure out a way to digitalise some of my bank statements to make accountancy and archiving easier.

I figured there must be a way to scan them in using a document scanner, then use OCR software to render the data into Excel.

Of course, nothing does this natively, but there are ways to do it.

mydigitallife.info stole my code

I wrote a little script for an article on fixr.co.uk entitled “Remove OGA Notifier“.

Today I discovered that mydigitallife.info had clearly taken details from my batch file code and used it without giving me or fixr.co.uk any credit at all.

W32Dasm

W32Dasm (or Win32DASM) doesn’t seem to exist on the map any more, but it’s still a very useful programmers tool, especially if you like reverse engineering.

I like to use this software every once in a while, but recently I found there were no decent sources for this software.

EFnet UK

On Sunday July 19 2009 Hardy announced on the EFnet website that Demon Internet will be delinking efnet.demon.co.uk and hub.uk from the EFnet IRC network in August.

For me, it marks the end of an era. There are no more UK IRC servers on the EFnet IRC network.

jQuery sucks at browser detection

This week i’ve been tweaking a little site I’ve started called “ismybrowseruptodate.com“, which is designed to assist people who don’t know whether their browser is up-to-date or not.

At first I thought this would be simple, because I knew jQuery had browser detection and had a variable called jQuery.browser.version, which would be very useful for checking the browser version, or so I thought.
