CSS3 Implemented Correctly – Last.fm

I noticed today while viewing my Last.fm profile that they are utilizing some of new CSS3 properties that are starting to make an appearance on the web. They have been very clever and only use these properties aesthetically in their design as to not break the design layout in Internet Explorer (Of which no current support is available for CSS3 in any of Microsoft’s released browsers).

Install, Remove and Update Applications Plesk and Virtuozzo Power Panel

On the eUKhost blog, they just posted a new article about Virtuozzo Power Panel that comes with most of their VPS servers. The Power Panel is a great piece of kit and I’ve been intending on writing a little blog post for a while about how easy it is to use, not only for the features listed in the eUKhost blog but more aimed towards the ease of installing programs and applications at the operating system level (CentOS in my case).

jQuery Validation Plugin – form.submit()

jQuery Logo

Got pretty frustrated with this today, playing around with jQuery’s Validation plugin and had it all setup nicely, then I noticed once everything was validated I couldn’t submit the form.. Odd!

No errors in Firefox/Chrome so switched over to good old Internet Explorer which produced this error message:

A Nice Short Cycle Route in Norfolk

Just a short little route i went on at the beginning of July on a stunning day of nothing but sunshine! From Great Yarmouth along the coast to Winterton-On-Sea then cutting inland through the little village of Martham and bumping into the Martham Carnival parade, opps! Then the long fairly boring road back to Yarmouth.

All in just over an hour, not bad for the two long breaks I took lol…

Halo Reach Forge – A Halo Modding Inspired Editor?

Halo Reach - Forge World

Halo Reach - Forge World

Bungie recently took the wraps off the Forge editor at Comic Con for their upcoming title Halo Reach, it is a huge improvement over the previous version included with Halo 3, which was safe to say quite clunky and restrictive. It is now a very clean, very usable editor with fine-tuned controls and a better object collision system allowing for more control over objects and the way they interact with each other.

But what people may not know is that the Halo Community itself wanted this, a long time ago and what a group of hackers achieved in 2004 was a map editor for the original Halo (xBox) – all well before Halo 3′s in-game version which shipped September 25th 2007.

Cannot Connect to Steam Network

I had this error message when trying to log onto Steam today. I left it a couple of hours but it still wouldn’t let me log on.

Cannot Connect to Steam Network – please try again later.

What you may need to do, which worked for me is to delete ‘ClientRegistry.blob’ in Steam’s installation folder (C:\Program Files\Steam) and try to restart steam. If this doesn’t do the trick try deleting ‘AppUpdateStats.blob‘.

I also had to run Steam with administrator privileges initially after this to get it to work, let me know if this works for you too.
