I encountered a rather obscure IE bug at work this week. After coding up a series of text inputs that enable/disable other radio buttons based on their values, I was dismayed to find out my javascript code wasn’t working in a test environment. I opened Internet Explorer’s F12 Developer Tools to check for any errors. Unfortunately, the javascript… Continue reading Friday Fix: console.log does not work in IE

Friday Fix: WordPress code tag with a bad character
Inside WordPress’s WYSIWYG editor, if you start a line of text, inside a code tag with a bad character, in my case, the ‘#’ character, the output gets screwed up. Here’s how to fix it.

Squashing commits in git
My first open source contribution was just accepted! (Technically, it’s my 2nd contribution, but 1st accepted one!) It was a very minor change, just an update to the user’s profile page on GitLab. Nevertheless, it’s a great feeling, knowing that I can directly improve a great product that I actually use. And I gained a bit… Continue reading Squashing commits in git

What should be a fun and exciting life event, has been marred by the incredibly frustrating and stressful process of trying to get a loan. I… Continue reading Friday Fix: Credit score
Friday Fix: My first open source contribution
Hey everybody, kind of an exciting Friday Fix this week. I just submitted my first pull request to an open source project! First, a little back story. A short while ago I noticed a discussion on Twitter, that spread to github, regarding the name of a particular javascript testing library named Testacular. I believe that… Continue reading Friday Fix: My first open source contribution
Friday Fix: Liferay’s SASS parser on CentOS 6
In working with a Liferay theme recently, I came across a curious bug involving jRuby and CentOS 6. It manifested itself in a rather confusing SASS parser error (the details of which I don’t have anymore). To add to this confusion, I had just switched from using the traditional Ant-based Liferay plugins build to using… Continue reading Friday Fix: Liferay’s SASS parser on CentOS 6
