hemingway reloaded fixes
Hemingway Reloaded is a great theme for the Wordpress Blogging Software, however, it lacks a little bit IE 7 compatibility.
Here are two simple fixes for the style.css which will display the startpage correct.

At first we will extend Javascript’s native Object with a method […]

fighting the spill
More than a year ago I was digging deep in the sources of the Java-like GNU Classpath, trying to find a way to adopt the MVC Pattern they are using. Despite all the hassle with translating and substituting objects, methods and functionality (have you ever taken a look at the event queue?) to the world […]
