CSS and JavaScript work as a team to keep your feeds sharp. http://www.ollicle.com/2008/mar/08/ollicle_reflex_netnewswire_style.html http://www.ollicle.com/2008/mar/08/ollicle_reflex_netnewswire_style.html Sat, 08 Mar 2008 13:22:01 +0930 This stylesheet for NetNewsWire loads the linked web page instead of displaying the feed itself. It is a simple hack born from a question posed to the NetNewsWire email group yesterday. http://www.ollicle.com/2008/feb/07/netnewswire_style_hack.html http://www.ollicle.com/2008/feb/07/netnewswire_style_hack.html Thu, 07 Feb 2008 21:59:09 +0930 Bigger links are easier to click for everyone. I have written a jQuery plugin which makes implementing easier to click links easier. http://www.ollicle.com/2007/oct/23/jquery_link_plugin.html http://www.ollicle.com/2007/oct/23/jquery_link_plugin.html Tue, 23 Oct 2007 22:48:51 +0930 jDefault is a bare-bones NetNewsWire style that loads my image resizing JavaScript, and the jQuery library it uses, into the default NetNewsWire template. To ‘enable’ any existing style built without a custom template.html file, simply replace the contained stylesheet.css with the corresponding file from your selected style. http://www.ollicle.com/2007/aug/17/nnwstyle_jquery_template.html http://www.ollicle.com/2007/aug/17/nnwstyle_jquery_template.html Fri, 17 Aug 2007 00:28:35 +0930 Ollicle Reflex has been updated to fix an issue with the version of Webkit installed with the Safari 3 beta. http://www.ollicle.com/2007/jun/16/safari3_webkit_reflex.html http://www.ollicle.com/2007/jun/16/safari3_webkit_reflex.html Sat, 16 Jun 2007 20:24:34 +0930 I'm very proud to present my first jQuery plugin: jquery.autolineheight. In a nutshell, this JavaScript adjusts the line-height of a container (such as a `div`) in proportion to it's width, relative to the font size. http://www.ollicle.com/2007/jun/03/jquery_lineheight_flexible.html http://www.ollicle.com/2007/jun/03/jquery_lineheight_flexible.html Sun, 03 Jun 2007 13:05:53 +0930 To thank everyone who spent the time to send me feedback on my NetNewsWire style, Ollicle Reflex, I'm publishing a new version. It fixes a couple of popular problems and introduces some del.icio.us love. http://www.ollicle.com/2007/apr/25/delicious_netnewswire_style.html http://www.ollicle.com/2007/apr/25/delicious_netnewswire_style.html Wed, 25 Apr 2007 20:35:51 +0930 Ollicle Reflex in an evolutionary improvement on my last NetNewsWire style - Ollicle Flex. Now updated to version 4. http://www.ollicle.com/2006/nov/28/jquery_netnewswire_style.html http://www.ollicle.com/2006/nov/28/jquery_netnewswire_style.html Tue, 28 Nov 2006 20:56:45 +0930 IE 7 has inherited the IE 6 problem with keyboard navigation and inline anchors. The otherwise time consuming fix was made simple with little a JavaScript - made even easier with jQuery. JavaScript to improve accessibility! Who would have thought... http://www.ollicle.com/2006/nov/17/jquery_accessibility.html http://www.ollicle.com/2006/nov/17/jquery_accessibility.html Fri, 17 Nov 2006 21:12:34 +0930 This week I have had to say farewell to a dear friend. Even though four years is a long time in iPod years, my iPod died before it's time with a nasty sounding clap on the footpath. http://www.ollicle.com/2006/aug/23/sad_first_ipod.html http://www.ollicle.com/2006/aug/23/sad_first_ipod.html Wed, 23 Aug 2006 02:08:01 +0930 At a family gathering not long ago, thinking out loud, I suggested the web would be the best place for the updated family tree. Knowing full well that ideas alone don't get anything done–I felt obliged to put the theory into practice. http://www.ollicle.com/2006/aug/14/family_tree_markdown_wiki.html http://www.ollicle.com/2006/aug/14/family_tree_markdown_wiki.html Mon, 14 Aug 2006 00:07:38 +0930 The newest addition to my regularly used applications is the cheerily named WebnoteHappy. This fresh indie Mac app is a bookmark manager with excellent del.icio.us integration. I'm excited to talk about it partly because it integrates some key features I hoped for in a del.icio.us client after discovering Cocoalicious. It's inspired me to continue thinking about my dream del.icio.us client. http://www.ollicle.com/2006/jun/04/delicious_webnotehappy.html http://www.ollicle.com/2006/jun/04/delicious_webnotehappy.html Sun, 04 Jun 2006 00:22:42 +0930 My friend and colleague Nicolas suggested wisely that I make it easier for people to find my NetNewsWire styles. I've made a start with a dedicated project page. http://www.ollicle.com/2006/mar/26/netnewswire_styles.html http://www.ollicle.com/2006/mar/26/netnewswire_styles.html Sun, 26 Mar 2006 23:34:16 +0930 This is a relaunch of Ollicle Flex, a style for NetNewsWire which makes use of cookies. No doubt you are scratching your head, ‘I thought styles were written with CSS’, you may think, ‘What have cookies got to do with how my feeds look?’. http://www.ollicle.com/2006/feb/04/netnewswire_cookie_style.html http://www.ollicle.com/2006/feb/04/netnewswire_cookie_style.html Sat, 04 Feb 2006 08:14:18 +0930 I have the blueprints laid out for laying a new foundation for ollicle.com. Expect some uneven ground here while the heavy machinery is still moving around. Check back soon. http://www.ollicle.com/2006/jan/12/site_upgrade.html http://www.ollicle.com/2006/jan/12/site_upgrade.html Thu, 12 Jan 2006 10:08:32 +0930
