weblog/photolog by Milo Vermeulen milov.nl

I'm a 31-year-old webdeveloper living in Wateringen, working in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This is my personal weblog. Sometimes I make art with code. I like to make lots of photos in my spare time, of which I post my faves here; see my Flickr stream for the most complete and up-to-date overview. My current cameras: Pentax K20D, Ricoh GR Digital and Ricoh GX100.

I know Raoul, it's a bug :)
Still haven't gotten around to fixing it...

Ke, I'll pay more attention this time & the next times ;-)

Okay, here's another quick one: !elInfo - lets you hover over elements to see their html code in the statusbar. Handy if you forgot the class or id of certain elements. Note: it shows IE's rendition of the html tag, not the actual tag as typed. Source:

javascript:void(document.onmousemove=new Function('window.status=event.srcElement.outerHTML'))

Incremental zoom bookmarklets: !ZoomInIn and !ZoomOutOut (drag to Links-bar). Works best in IE5 (IE6 won't resize positioned elements). Source:

javascript:if(!document.z){void(document.z=1);}void(document.z*=2);void(document.body.style.zoom=document.z);void(document.body.parentNode.style.zoom=document.z);

javascript:if(!document.z){void(document.z=1);}void(document.z*=0.5);void(document.body.style.zoom=document.z);void(document.body.parentNode.style.zoom=document.z);

Update: I forgot, pup already made these.

We were using 'm here to see if background-images of two adjacent table cells lined up... Ah, the joy of Netscape4 testing...

3. posted by pup at 20:43 on November 06, 2001

the zoom out has a factor of 2. should be 0.5.

4. posted by pup at 20:44 on November 06, 2001

also, since i upgraded to ie6 here at work, they do nothing on pages that have positioned content (here, tastylog, etc), but normal table-layout pages are fine (cnn, yahoo, etc).

5. posted by 23JUL at 03:04 on November 07, 2001

It doesn't really work on your page, Milo. ;-)

6. posted by milov.nl,milo,milov at 07:44 on November 07, 2001

Argh, I noticed... Worked fine in IE5.5 at work, but not in IE6 here, coz of my positioned content (like pup said). Maybe the trick is to loop thru all the elements and set zoom properties for each one...

Bookmarklet: !XY (drag to Links-bar)

Clicking it will make current x,y-coordinates appear in statusbar when moving mouse over page. Source:

javascript:void(document.onmousemove=new Function('window.status=event.clientX+\', \'+event.clientY'))

ZOOM IN! ZOOM IN! or maybe ZOOM TOGGLE!

2. posted by pup at 22:47 on October 17, 2001

zoom in:
javascript:void(document.body.style.zoom==''?document.body.style.zoom=1*2:document.body.style.zoom=(parseFloat(document.body.style.zoom)*2));

zoom out:
javascript:void(document.body.style.zoom==''?document.body.style.zoom=1*0.5:document.body.style.zoom=(parseFloat(document.body.style.zoom)*0.5));

Voor de IE gebruikers: Tom's handige Nederlandse Weblogs Sidebar kan je ook direct met deze javascript-link openen, zonder eerst een .reg-file te hoeven installeren (en je Zoekknop blijft ook werken):

  !NedWeblogs

(Tip: sleep de link naar je Links-bar.)

Here's a double-set of experimental bookmarklets I made the other day after getting rather envious of IE5Mac's autofill-form ability. To use, drag the links to your Links-bar:

!GET - loops thru all form fields on a page and stores values in a cookie named 'formfields'.

!PUT - fills all form fields in current page based on value of cookie 'formfields'.

(Note: use at own risk.)

Update 020115: One problem with these is that they also get and set hidden input values - messing up some web-apps... So be careful, please ;)

Can't u solve the hidden input problem with a simple if(E[e].type != 'hidden') condition?

A bookmarklet-based fix for those suffering from IE6's tendendy to center texts which need not be centered:
left-align text (drag to linksbar).

Annoyed by those big ads in CNET articles like this one? Try this bookmarklet: Hide ads (drag to Links-bar). It'll hide any IFRAMEs and any standard 468x60 banner IMGs on the current page.

Researching a school-presentation on Application Servers, I came across this site: Web Tools Review, a nice collection of reviews and commentaries with a very personal style.

(This #999999 background modifying bookmarklet should make the lengthy white pages somewhat more readable.)

Some sites can make you waste a lot of time hovering over links, trying to read all the possibly interesting title-tooltips. But now there's a solution in the form of a new bookmarklet: Titles (drag to your links bar).

Try clicking it when reading title-abusing sites such as Zeldman and Interconnected, and the titles for each link will magically appear inline in parentheses.

Update 1: if you try it on this page, you'll see quite a mess because each of my referrer-links also has a title... Oh well, at least it works... [reported by Mihir]

Update 2: I fixed the problem by removing the titles from the referrer-links. Wasn't really a need for them anyway.

Using a MS tutorial on browser extensions, a copy of MicroAngelo 98 and the Up-bookmarklet I found at Anil Dash, I managed to add my own working 'Up Button' to the IE5 toolbar, using the same icon as the up button in regular Explorer. Very handy for traversing webserver directories.

For an instant Up Button, drag this link to your linksbar: Up


I'm still amazed at the potential speed of Java applets, after years of programming mostly in Javascript/DHTML. Here's i.am/bald #81.

Eep! What happened to AltaVista? Actually, it doesn't look all that bad... The dark header is a bit distracting though.


New at i.am/bald: 79 - I started experimenting with Java-applets recently hoping to one day be able to create one of those cool "plasma" effects, when in fact I managed to create one today using plain ol' Javascript. Go figure...



Here's another fun javascript bookmarklet for IE-users: stretch imgs - drag the link to your linksbar, then click it when visiting a site with plenty of images.

Or try this slightly modified version: switch imgs - instead of stretching out images, this randomly swaps the source of an image with that of another one.

Hi! Steve Kargas (of bookmarklets.com) sent me to your page. The stretch imgs bookmarklet is very funny, it would, however, be also very useful if there was a shortcut (like pressing Stop in the browser or Esc) to stop the images for stretching further.

New bookmarklet: random link - opens a random link chosen from all the links on a page. Something to try on mega link page Factory512 for example.

I can stop wondering what the author of 404 meant with 'fajne i.am/bald' - I just received an email from one Piotr explaining that 'fajne' means 'impressive'. Thanks!

Kijk eens aan, Smoel heeft het bannertje opgemerkt dat ik vanmiddag op jandevries had geplaatst - het verdwijnt echter telkens weer snel. Da's het gevaar van een open bron webportaal, je bent er nooit zeker van dat jouw links blijven staan... Maar om daar nou een heuse oorblog om te voeren...

Internet Explorer 5 users: you know that built-in IE search-pane you almost never use? Well, you can now view a trimmed-down version of this page in your search-pane. Clicking on links will simply open them in the main window, while my page remains visible until the search-pane is closed again.

A well-constructed frameset could provide the same functionality, but that would hide the address and title of clicked links.


The trick to opening a URL of your choice in the search-pane is the following Javascript-command:

_search=open('your_url_here', '_search')

You would probably want to call this command via a hyperlink, like so:

<A HREF="javascript:void(_search=open('your_url_here', '_search'))">click me</A>

This is really cool but is there a way to make it non-resizeable and give it a width?

I'd also like to put my url in the search pane, but I can't seem to open it to the right size w/o scroll bars. Most of my content is off-screen. Anyone know a solution?

and what about closing the search pane with javascript, is that possible?

I expanded the IE-only pageGray-bookmarklet (see 00/03/12) so that it desaturates not just single pages, but entire framesets as well:
- pageGray (drag to Links-bar)

Radiohead are maintaining an online journal detailing the process of making their new album. It's a 50k page, going all the way back to July 1999.

The official Matrix website contains an amazing collection of Matrix-based comics and stories. The artists' names in the left-frame each open a different comic.

Yow!

New SHIFT online. Nice cover design.

I just came up with some neat one-click javascript-tricks for use in IE5. Drag-n-drop these links to your Links-toolbar, then click them whenever you want to transform the page you are viewing:
- flipH: flip page horizontally
- flipV: flip page vertically
- flipHV: rotate page 180 degrees
- unflip: return page to normal

This is fun! Here's another one:
- pageGray: remove all color from page

Apparently, students at some Australian university have to make a weblog as a school-assignment. Why don't we ever get to do cool assignments like that?
