MSN Ads and Credit Card

On 11-23-2005, in Just another blog, by Alex


We registered at MSN advertising system (google adwords competitor) trying to understand how userful and powerful is this system.
Phew. Poor, unusable, non-crossbrowser.
And now they’re bombing me about my Credit Card expiration date!
Thanks to my spam-filter, he understands their emails correctly.

 

FeliCa is a contactless IC card technology developed by Sony. As the name stemming from the word “felicity” suggests, the system was born to make daily living easier and more convenient.
The card is difficult to forge/reconstruct, and allows to send/receive data at high speed and with high security. The system is also environment-friendly since the card can be used over-and-over virtually forever by rewriting the data. It also features ultimate user-ease, as would be expected from a contactless card, since there is no longer any need to retrieve and put away the card for every use.
All-in-all, the system is rational throughout, since one card is enough to provide for various purposes.

details about FeliCa

It seems it can’t be international for some reasons. At least many european countries should have similar system. Good idea though.

 

Vanilla forum?

Lussumo Vanilla: they wrote this is “The Sweetest forum on the web”. Does anybody know what is this? I mean is it really best forum? 🙂

 

The subModal works by placing a semi-transparent div over the browser, blocking access to the content below while still providing visibility. This maintains state and doesn’t make someone feel disoriented or lost by moving them completely to another page. Their frame of reference is kept while allowing them to perform a new task (usually closely associated with the content below).

Another div is layered and centered on top of the mask. This div contains an iframe which defaults to a “now loading” page. In my applications I usually place an animated gif inside of this page to make it appear the server is doing something while the user waits.

Finally the iframe’s source is swapped with the page you wish to display. When this page is loaded into the iframe it’s title is swapped with our fake title bar and displayed.

one more min-width solution for IE

On 10-29-2005, in Coding, CSS, by Alex

#minWidth {
min-width:780px;
}
* HTML #minWidth {
width:expression((document.body.clientWidth<=780)?'780px':'auto');
}

It works correctly for resizing IE.
But I’d like to move second rule into special IE-only CSS (using ie-comments)

Thanks to pepelsbey 🙂
