Developing for older versions of IE
08:56 PM on Thursday 30 May 2013
I have been doing quite a bit of Javascript work with jQuery which means that at some point I would need to check the browser compatibility. I typically develop using Firefox and Firebug and using jQuery means that I can depend on jQuery's cross browser support. That works most of the time but on oc ...

06:34 PM on Monday 20 May 2013
We took part in this year's Cold Storage Kids' Run on Sunday. The day started badly with us waking at 0650.

09:45 PM on Thursday 16 May 2013
Was at Bishan Park and did some photography there at mid day. There were some nice clouds and landscape so I tried out some HDR. Flowers and insects were a bit more lacking but there were some nice shots in my opinion.

Monitor color calibration
11:17 AM on Wednesday 01 May 2013
After the update to mountain lion, I have not done a color calibration on the monitor which is probably a bad idea.
