1984? What 1984?

By Thur on 24 Feb 2009 | Tagged: | One Response.
Ahh .. I know I am getting tedious ... but: a new lasting (yeah, right, lasting, uhhuh) blog means showing some old subjects. I cannot help that! So what I've stated a few times before: I really really really like the Apple Macintosh 1984 'SuperBowl' Ad (a Ridley ('BladeRunner', 'Alien', 'Thelma & ...

Coffee and Cigarettes

Okay, one more (showing off, like yesterday, the ShadowBox.js Media Viewer)! Here is a trailer of an all time favoured flick: the Jim Jarmusch masterpiece Coffee and Cigarettes. GZA: "You're Bill Murray. Bill Groundhog-Day, Ghostbustin'-ass Murray!" RZA: "Who you gonna call?" Bill Murray: "I know that. Just don't tell anybody!"...

Sjoekie in ShadowBox JS

What's it gonna be when posting media? Instead of using LightBox 2 or SmoothGallery I tried the Shadowbox.js Media Viewer. And yes, there exists a Shadowbox JS WordPress Plugin. Some possibilities below. Very cool! The default navigation icons are a bit small but I'll let them be. You can use both left and right arrow keys ...

Dark Grey or Light Grey?

By Thur on 10 Feb 2009 | Tagged: | No Response.
As showed in my Flickr PhotoStream: there exists a light version of this tb20090204. I definitely like dark pages better (of course ... nothing really dark here: to make a 'Gothic' theme one needs , at least, some textures!).

Lytje Pole 2009

Only fooling around with this new theme (could do that all in private, on my Home Computers, I know!) I need some extra writings. Err ... here is one: as every year, to celebrate Spring, we have rented a small and comfortable residence on our beloved Schiermonnikoog ('Skiermûntseach') island. You know what's really great there? The not hearing anything at all. Well, ...

l’architecture du son

(Niet alleen) AudioWijs houd ik van 'vroeger'. De afgelopen decennia hebben mijn domicilies steeds onderdak geboden aan luidsprekers van Jean-Marie Reynaud (Créateur d'enceintes acoustiques hautes performances)! Als laatsten twee paar Opera's. Prachtige antieke meuk - 'Vintage' heet dat dan - uit 1984. Dees werden in de nazomer van 2009 vervangen door Magnepans bouwjaar 1978. Uit 1978 ...

Border-Radius

By Thur on 12 Jan 2009 | Tagged: | No Response.
A surprising but confusing CSS3 feature is border-radius. Confusing, for among others it is not working in MIE and Opera, but it also is different implemented (the support, that is) by the Mozilla/Firefox and Safari browsers: The W3C: "The two length values of the ‘border-*-radius’ properties define the radii of a quarter ellipse that defines the shape of the corner ...

This tb20090124 theme

By Thur on 4 Jan 2009 | Tagged: | 12 Responses.
This is my latest WordPress theme. Started out with the tb20090124 (a first draft) and ended thus far with this tb20090315 WP theme. Most recently I added the Smoothgallery Slideshow, being an 'Index To The 10 Most Recent Entries'. Superfluous but cool! The glitches are gone, I believe, and (please tell me if this isn't true) the whole thing seems to ...
