The importance of commit messages | Wildbit am 12. November 2008 unter programming Subversion

Communication is the mantra of two of my long-time feeds. Proper communication of your actions adds tremendous value to your work. Without good communication skills you’re nothing but a lone ‘hacker’ doing stuff for yourself. And what can be better than talking with the team without leaving your favorite text editor/IDE?

Incoherent Babble » Blog Archive » Emulating CSS word-wrap for Mozilla/Firefox am 6. November 2008 unter css firefox xbl

Foo Hack » Cross Browser Support for inline-block Styling am 6. November 2008 unter css

I learned a new CSS trick from one of the best insane inventor webdevs I know. The pieces have been out there for some time, it seems, but I hadn’t ever seen this spelled out as simply and elegantly as he did it. Inline-block layout solves a lot of problems.

The Dutch Ministry of Finance organized an architecture competition for which a selected group of architectural offices (unstudio, nox, ...) and artists were invited, including myself. The goal of the competition was not to design a building, but the new 5 euro commemorative coin with the theme 'Netherlands and Architecture'.
