Source Code of Several Atari 7800 Games Released! | ProgrammerFish - Everything that's programmed!

Source Code of Several Atari 7800 Games Released! | ProgrammerFish - Everything that's programmed!.

Remember the Dig Dug or Centipede or Robotron? They used to be favorites wheimagen Atari’s 7800 series was still around. Now since the era of those consoles is over and a different world of interactive reality gaming has taken over, Atari has unofficially released source code of over 15 games for the coders and enthusiasts to admire the state-of-the-art (because  this is what it was back then). During those times nobody would have imagined in their wildest dreams the games that Atari’s developers floated into the gaming thirsty market and instantly swept across continental boundaries. But things changed soon after that and a company once regarded as one of the most successful gaming console manufacturers and developers faded away in the pages of our technology’s hall-of-fame.

In an official release, Atari has quoted that the purpose of the release is to give potential developers insight into the Atari’s gaming platform so they may possibly build upon the 7800 series.

I have collected of the game’s banners:

Let's make the web faster - Google Code

June 24th, 2009, 9:28 am by Clay

Let's make the web faster - Google Code.

Some choice excerpts:

CSS: Using every declaration just once

Using every CSS declaration only once is an effective way to reduce file size of style sheets. It’s not a trivial optimization technique though: Watch over the cascade and adjust your editing workflow.

HTTP caching

Web pages can load much faster on repeated visits if the resources come from the cache. Learn about two groups of HTTP headers that make all the difference.

Optimizing web graphics

Optimizing your web illustrations, icons, and graphics is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to decrease your page load time. In this tutorial, we discuss image file formats and optimize some real Google graphics for faster download on the web.

cr0 blog: Write once, own everyone, Java deserialization issues.

Interesting and scary details on a vulnerability for almost every modern browser out there (IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.) with Java Enabled. The fix: turn off Java. Sheesh!

What Should Corporations Do With Their Blogs | chrisbrogan.com

What Should Corporations Do With Their Blogs | chrisbrogan.com.

I was fortunate to be able to call together a great group of people at a moment’s notice to host a flash panel at the Pepsico Podcast Playground at SXSW. I wanted to talk about a Wall Street Journal article where AMD blogged about something and then Intel said blogs weren’t the place to talk about important issues. I pulled together George Smith, Jr, from Crocs, Christopher Barger from GM, Keith Burtis from Best Buy, Bonin Bough from Pepsico, Pat Moorhead from AMD, and Morgan Johnston from JetBlue for a conversation.

What follows is a video from the flash panel. I hope you’ll watch it and share your thoughts.

IEBlog : Site Compatibility and IE8

March 20th, 2009, 1:43 pm by Clay

IEBlog : Site Compatibility and IE8

Here're a couple of methods for coding to IE8 (new hacks! d'oh!):

Initial CSS Property Values

Unset properties on the currentStyle object now return their initial value. Relying on the old initial values for CSS properties such as z-index can cause problems. This is the root cause of issues with the ASP.NET menu control. SOLUTION: Perform a check for both the backwards compatible value and the standardized initial value.
var zIndex = elm.currentStyle.zIndex;
if(zIndex == 0) {
// custom code
}		 var zIndex = elm.currentStyle.zIndex;
if(zIndex == 0 || zIndex == "auto") {
// custom code
}

Electronista | Seattle P-I largest paper to go all-digital

March 16th, 2009, 1:17 pm by Clay

Hearst on Monday said the Seattle Post-Intelligencer would become the largest newspaper ever to move to an online-only format. The move leaves the Tuesday issue as the last paper copy and ends the 146-year history of the physical edition. Its owners describe the shift as the result of "extremely difficult circumstances" for the company's finances and after unsuccessfully trying to sell the Post-Intelligencer to another company since January 9th. To make up for the absence of the newspaper, Hearst said it would ramp up online advertising by creating a dedicated team that would pick up local advertising. It also draws on Ask.com, Google, Kaango, MSN and Yahoo for its larger online ad plans.
