Boulder Denver New Tech Meetup Report - November 4, 2008

By Michael ⋅ November 4, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

We didn’t make it to this MeetUp this time, first we have missed in several months. Sucks. We didn’t make it for several reasons. It was election night and wanted to spend it with family. And it was in Denver instead of Boulder. And we are knee deep in bugtrocities trying to get magazines.me ready […]

This will be a shorter report this month as I am supposed to be packing for the High-end Audio show this weekend at the Denver Tech-Center Marriott this weekend.
I got to the MeetUp a little late, but did catch that Boulder.me is signing up companies that are looking for top software talent.
Also that the November […]

Determining and detecting Page Zoom levels in IE and Firefox

By michael ⋅ October 6, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Page zoom is when the user zooms in and out of a page on a website by using ctrl + and ctrl - (or ctrl scrollwheel) increasing or decreasing the font and other stuff that the browser implementers thought would be easy at the time .

Making tinyMCE work with custom domains

By michael ⋅ October 6, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Our application uses custom domains. We let users point their own domains, say purplecow.com, to our magazines.me website and to all intents and purposes it looks like their domain.
TinyMCE 3.2.0.2 does not work with custom domains - when to goes to try and download additional sections of its own code during initialization (creation). It thinks […]

The Dot Me Domain Open Registration Whiners

By michael ⋅ July 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Seems like there is a lot of confusion and finger pointing lately mostly about the Open Registration on July 17th.
We have a LOT more to write about this adventure - but a few words about the furor.
Now, I am no fan of GoDaddy, and think the website GUI is horrific, the founder too flamboyantly macho, […]

By michael ⋅ July 2, 2008 ⋅ One comment

It was standing room only again here at the Boulder Denver New Tech Meetup at C.U. There were announcements to start off the meeting, as usual, and, also as usual, we could only catch a few of them in toto.
First, this MeetUp, and the similar meetup in S.F. are organizing a meta-meetup of some unspecified […]

Up to now it was only the database chapters that were a wee bit presumptive about the depth of knowledge on the […]
