100% Class-free code!
Wednesday, November 22, 2006
I'm proud to announce that from now on exscale.se is 100% class free. Thanks to > + :first-child :last-child etc I recently removed every class i used to have and i still have control over every element on the entire site.
There is one exception tho, if u use [ code ] (without the spaces) to insert a code block, that paragraph of code gets the class "codeblock".
Because there is no way for me to know where a p.codeblock might appear in your comments and because i can't be arsed to add #comment-XXX p + p + p {/* codeblock styling... */} every time a comment (or post for that matter) contains a code block this is still necessary.

Made this one quite some time back, must've forgotten to post about it.
XLNT Catering
Monday, November 13, 2006
Recently finished coding this for a friend at work. She designed it, but she asked me to code it.
I got to create my own kind of "sifr", but instead of flash i use a php-generated png image. Unfortunately you can't copy or select the text, but the text-to-image replacement is done using javascript so all the headings are proper text in the HTML.
As you can see (if you've checked the site out) the menu item pointing to the page you are currently on always needs to be furthest to the left. I solved this using a body-id and an id for each menu-li, and then positioning the selected menu item absolutely at left: 0; together with padding in the #nav ul.
Check the css is you're really interested.
Some Flash Stuff
Sunday, October 08, 2006
I made some flash menus and stuff quite some time back. They've just been wasting space in a folder on my hard drive, so i thought i'd stick em on here.
I'm no flash-guru so don't expect anything über.
Also included in the code is a valid way of embeding flash-movies in your HTML documents, if you've been looking for that. It's taken from A List Apart's excellent Flash Satay article

CSS3 Multiple Background Images
Sunday, October 08, 2006
I quite recently found out that Safari for Macintosh supports multiple background images in one element. I immidiatly got very excited and created this box using 12 jpg-images, a div and a h2.
The box is stretchable in any direction (including text-resizing).
At work i get to create plenty of boxes in almost every design and i constantly have to bloat my HTML with unnecessary spans and divs. I wish all browsers could support multiple background images now! That would make my job so much easier =)
Anyway, check it out, it wont look very cool if you're not on safari tho.
Google Start Page Valid and Strict
Sunday, October 08, 2006
Yea, like so many others i also made google's start page XHTML 1.0 valid and strict. I initially planned to recreate the entire start page with all the "stuff-boxes" (Google Videos etc) but couldn't be arsed.

Ajax Scan
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
Ajax-Scan is a php/javascript (ajax) directory-listing script. It works like "explorer"on windows.
Ajax-Scan is still a bit under construction, but when i'm happy with it i'll release the code.

Naked Day!
Wednesday, April 05, 2006
Why does this web site look like one from the early 80's you may ask, well today is the first annual CSS naked day, and i felt like participating.
Edit: unfortunately I have to end naked day early as I'm leaving my computer behind and flying to India. And i don't want it to be "naked" while I'm there :/
The Ultimate Website Pt. 2
Sunday, April 02, 2006
Please note: "Ultimate" is only ultimate for so long. And I don't exactly do it like this anymore, but I still believe it's an OK beginners-guide to building a dynamic, easy-to-update web site.
If you haven't read part 1 of this article, i suggest you do so before you continue reading.
So, we have the main-structure for the "Ultimate Website". But it doesn't look very fancy does it? Here's where the CSS comes in.

Lots of new stuff!
Wednesday, March 29, 2006
After my latest poll, i found out from those of you who voted that you wanted more PHP-scripts and 3D-work.
So, here's a massive update including 2 new scripts, 1 new image, a new category in the archives for various web-work i do (including 3 posts), part 1 of a 3 part article about "the ultimate website". For those of you who actually want to learn something :) Part 2 and 3 will be released shortly.
And this new design. As usual IE won't play nice, but if you're a FF-user you should see that the menu follows you when you scroll.
The header image is selected randomly from 3 different images, so surf around a bit to see them all.
For those of you who liked a previous design more, you can always change in the styles-section. I also added a quick style switcher in the sub content, which is now located on the bottom.
That's it for now.
I'm off to India the 6th of april, and will be there for 6 weeks. I need to work a bit from there, so i'll probably write something on here aswell.

Lamp & Mates
Wednesday, March 29, 2006
This is one of those projects that just grew and grew. I started out creating the lamp, added the keyboard, monitor, speakers etc and I even made an animation with it all (2 week render-time on 2 machines) that I submitted to an MTV contest. Didn't win tho...

The Ultimate Website Pt. 1
Wednesday, March 29, 2006
Please note: "Ultimate" is only ultimate for so long. And I don't exactly do it like this anymore, but I still believe it's an OK beginners-guide to building a dynamic, easy-to-update web site.
After having programmed PHP, (X)HTML and CSS for a few years now, I've finally come up with a website-structure that I'm satisfied with. A website that uses valid markup, dynamic PHP and a completely CSS-driven design. So it can be used over, and over again with very little changes.

Exscale Counter 1.5
Friday, March 10, 2006
This version is only available in english, and does not show hours, days or months with 0 visits.
Updates
2006-10-01
The counter gets pretty fookin slow after you've had about 20-30 000 hits (depending on your server of course) so i may need to fix it. You can still download it tho.
2006-03-10 Small update
Removed tblactivevisitors from the db, now active visitors are based on unique IPs over the past 5 minutes from tblvisitors.
Tidier code, although you can no longer keep track of what pages the active visitors are on.
This could easily be added though, but i don't think i will as every click (update (F5) etc) is added to the table, and an extra column keeping the page would obviously take up extra space.
2006-03-01
The PHP has been re-programmed pretty much from the ground up, completely new markup and CSS.

Another design
Tuesday, March 07, 2006
I just finnished re-coding my RoundedEdge design that i used for a previous version of exscale.se.
It only works in modern browsers that support png-transparency, so no IE.

New design, and new contents
Tuesday, February 28, 2006
I've changed the design, i've reprogrammed all my old designs (once again(!)) to CSS (although last time to PHP), so you can view exscale.se in all of it's previous forms from the styles section.
Of course IE needs to fuck with me and not display the perfectly valid CSS properly on this new design. For some reason i have to add a border-top to my #header, otherwise #headers background-image won't show up in IE6 Win. The really weird part is that for some other reason IE places the background-image BEHIND the border. Or -1px Y. So the gray border in the image doesn't show in IE. Sorry for this, but if you still use IE i seriously suggest you get a modern browser right now.
The reason for the blog-like appearance of this new version of exscale.se is that i wanted a place where i could not only show my 3D work, but also write about stuff like web standards, php, css and whatever. Don't expect daily posts, I'm no real blogger.
Some articles will be written in swedish, because i believe there are enough articles about some subjects in english.
Have fun, leave a comment. I'm working on new stuff, should be up soon.

Skillnaden på "de" och "dem"
Monday, February 20, 2006
Överallt på internet, i forum, undertexter bloggar och överallt annars där text förekommer används "de" och "dem" ofta åt helvete.
Jag börjar bli trött på att läsa saker som "känner du de?" och "var är dem?", så här kommer två enkla tips för att hålla reda på när man ska använda "de", och när man ska använda "dem".
