jQuery Cycle and Fullscreen
jQuery Cycle is an excellent plugin and the most extensible jquery plugin I’ve seen thus far. It works surprisingly well and is very accommodating to all sorts of external html/css setups. However there is an itch to scratch when it comes to fullscreen sliding. The Cycle plugin doesn’t quite support this well enough. Fortunately the [...]
Customizing the WordPress Admin Interface
Six Revisions have an excellent post on how to customize the WordPress admin area. However I was looking also at a way of removing the Plugin Editor menu and noticed you can’t remove it like you do with the Theme Editor menu because it’s not added via an action. So I added this to my [...]
HowTo: Revert local changes in Git

jQuery: Textarea maxlength
Being able to restrict the maximum length of user input from the interface directly is very convenient and practical in use. We do this a lot with input elements. Unfortunately textarea elements do not natively support the maxlength attribute. This attribute was finally added in HTML5 but at the time of writing Chrome is the [...]
Happy Birthday Google Chrome!
Wow, it’s been a year already? Time certainly flies when you’re having fun! It seems the Google Chrome team have been hard at work! They’ve finally made a version of Google Chrome for Mac and Linux which you could download from the Dev channel. Had a quick test and found Print and Application shortcuts haven’t [...]
Zend Server CE and Snow Leopard Problem
There’s a compatibility issue with the Java Bridge in Zend Server CE which results in failure of the ZendServer admin interface. A temporary fix could be found at http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=1115 I found this out the hard way – reinstalled and digged the internals before realizing it was a compatibility issue. I hope the Zend guys fix [...]
