QT and PhantomJS on Amazon EC2

By kennberg On Jan 3, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I started playing with PhantomJS, which is a headless webkit project that’s being actively maintained! You can use this to do various things with webpages without the need to display anything (i.e. no GUI). Of course, it’d be nice if one could throw this on EC2 to render thumbnails of pages. It’s only a [...]

Traffic widget on the Google Android phone

By kennberg On Dec 22, 2011 · Leave a Comment

This was a nice treat for me as I browsed through widgets on my phone. You can add a number of traffic widgets to your home screen. All you need to do is specify a name and address. When you flip to the screen, you can quickly gage the status of the route from your [...]

Debugging IE7 on Mac OS X

By kennberg On Oct 14, 2011 · Leave a Comment

There is still a surprisingly high amount of traffic coming from the older versions of Internet Explorer. When I viewed my web sites using one of the many browser screenshot services I found that some of them actually had some bugs! The best way going forward was to come up with a way to debug [...]

Presenting at FITC // Screens 2011

By kennberg On Aug 30, 2011 · 1 Comment

I’ve been presenting on HTML5 and mobile web for a few years now. Back in 2010 I found myself presenting to a room of Flash developers at 9am on a Saturday. That was after an open bar on Friday. At the time, with those odds, I thought that it’ll be just a handful of people [...]

Trip without a camera and computer

By admin On Jan 16, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I just returned from a vacation in Israel. The whole trip I used my smartphone as a computer, camera and journal. Some photos that I took look look great for printing and compete with ultra compacts that my fellow tourists used. I was able to do even more by stitching multiple images together to create [...]

Aquarium stand

Aquarium stand

By kennberg On Aug 13, 2008 · 1 Comment

This time around I saw an aquarium stand that I really liked. It inspired me to build one of my own. The idea is to create support columns from 2×4 and connect them on two levels with 2×2. I used carpenter’s glue for each joint and only 1 screw (5 cm long). Note, that some [...]

Basement floors

By admin On Mar 1, 2008 · 1 Comment

We finally decided to get rid of the old carpets in our basement and replace them with laminate floor. The carpets had a subfloor, which was a sponge that basically fell apart as we tore it out. This, and the carpet, was a major source of dust at our place.

For the new floor we [...]

LCD tv with alternative back light

Alternative backlight for an LCD tv

By admin On Dec 3, 2007 · 1 Comment

Not too long ago I purchased a used LCD tv from eBay. The price was good at $100 for a 27″, but the backlight died within a week of use! After some research I found out that practically no one carried a replacement inverter for this model. The only alternative that I found was done [...]

Rent Receipts

By admin On Nov 29, 2007 · 1 Comment

I recently launched a new web service for landlords worldwide. It goes something like this…

What if you had to make 8 receipts for your tenant right now? We automatically generate and pre-fill all the receipts for you. For free. All you have to do is print and sign!

While the idea is pretty simple [...]

Turtle house

House for the Aquarium

By admin On Oct 13, 2007 · 1 Comment

I currently have 2 turtles. As an owner I constantly look for ways to improve their aquarium life. This time around I decided to make a house for the turtles, which allows them to go out of the water or hide in the shadows from the bright light bulb.

Previous experience told me not to [...]
