Thursday August 1 2024

Selectors have long been the domain of LESS and SASS pre-processors. They are also native to CSS too – along with combinators, child and appended nested selectors. To illustrate this, I will post the code to recent development for My CSS Framework (blade.css) – a checkbox toggle switch. You...

I withdrew both ttCMS and DCP-Portal from the marketplace at the same time. Both were nearly identical CMS systems. ttCMS was a hack of DCP-Portal.

Wednesday July 17 2024

This would have meant a lot more earlier in 2024. Back when I was invested in using Bulma CSS Framework. Back when using Bulma CSS Framework had some relative meaning. You see, we all need validation. We need our decisions validated. We need our actions validated. When I used Bulma CSS Framework, I...

Sunday July 14 2024

I understand how software can get out of control and bloated. I've done it myself, hate to admit it. In writing my CSS Framework, I started with a module for a responsive 12 column grid system. At the point where I felt comfortable to use it in a pre-production environment, it was 7Kb in size. I...

Original INI Editor by "bloomingranny" - click for larger view I have used an INI Editor for several years now. It's not used often, but it is a handy utility that works hand-in-hand with an application launcher I wrote. The original is shown at the right. The source is a total of 119 lines –...

Friday June 7 2024

There are a number of posts that show a green background with a telephone number to report pets left in a vehicle. I must confess I reposted that on my Facebook page without first fact-checking. Mistake. THAT NUMBER IS NO LONGER VALID. From the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society website: If you...
