Internet Explorer never fails to impress me in its ability to frustrate and complicate my web designs. The screenshot below shows a png image with a #3D6B99 background color over a div with the same #3D6B99 background color (specified in CSS).
The background colors don’t match! Of course everything looks fine in Mozilla Firefox. So what’s the problem?

Hand history files, like computer programs, are notoriously difficult to read. Software developers use syntax coloring to highlight keywords and contrast different sections of code. I’ve developed a syntax definition file for the Vim editor that colors both Poker Stars and Full Tilt Poker hand history files.
Installation instructions can be found at the beginning of the file. Installing the syntax file is fairly straightforward, especially for anyone who has used Vim before. Feel free to experiment with the colors, and let me know if you come up with better.

Recently, I was asked by my employer to write an Apache module. The module reads the requestor’s digital certificate and checks it against our database of active users. In this post, I’ll explain how to get started writing Apache modules, especially for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5.2).
