XML  Tags: websites, webdevelopment.
For those who haven't seen XML before, this is what it looks like:

<?xml version and crap>

<users>

    <user>

        <name>lucb1e</name>

        <age>18</age>

        <computer>

            <gpu>nVidia GeForce 9800 GT</gpu>

            <cpu>Intel Core2Quad Q9400</cpu>

        </computer>

    </user>

    <user>

        <name>

et cetera

The first time you see this, it probably looks pretty neat. It is a very clear and usable format. You can easily store users and properties and everything!

Well, appearances are deceptive.

www.  Tags: websites.
I hate website requiring you to type www. Not having an domain.tld.-A record in your DNS is only a minor problem, but those websites returning an empty page or placeholder when you don't type www. are just bad.

Example, try typing in your addressbar:
google.com
It will work fine. It redirects you to www.google.com, which is inefficient and unnecesary, but it works.

Another example. Try, in Firefox at least, typing in your addressbar:
ajsfd.a4i
Firefox will first try a lookup for 'ajsfd.a4i', then 'www.ajsfd.a4i'.

About disabling Javascript  Tags: my blog, websites, webdevelopment.
If you don't have javascript in your browser, you will not be able to fully make use of this website. I'm sorry for that, I tried to make things work best I could. If you have any problems navigating or reading, feel free to contact me. You can stop reading now if this is the case.

If you have disabled javascript yourself, you have succesfully put your browser in a wheelchair. Congratulations!
The web nowadays gets more and more dynamic, and you are slowing down the dynamicness. I myself have NoScript installed in Firefox, but I only occasionally use it for website with scrolling stuff and javascript-toolbars which annoy me.
