In simple terms, CSS preprocessing is a method of extending the feature set of CSS by first writing the style sheets in a new extended language, then compiling the code to vanilla CSS so that it can be read by Web browsers.

Enable incompatible add-ons in Firefox 4
Firefox 4 is is out in the open one day before the official release and I like it! (Download here: win | mac | linux ) One thing I didn’t like is the fact that most of my favorite add-ons were disabled due to incompability. Even worse is that there is no option to (temporary) [...]
Javascript particles on new version CLnet.nl

Altough I took the website offline months ago the company is officially no more since 01-02-2011. So I decided to turn clnet.nl into something like a [...]

New theme for kaisersblog.com, tell me what you think

TV 2.0, my ultimate setup
In another attempt to create my ultimate TV setup I will be working on a new installation of my HTPC over the next few days (or weeks, depending on the problems encountered). The idea: Dual tuners, combining DVB-S and DVB-T with the possibility to watch and record at the same time on multiple devices (TV, [...]
An Ode to Klaas
Another small website I made just for fun is An ode to Klaas. And it’s not an ode to Klaas-Jan Huntelaar :) The website is probably only fun for dutch people because it shows all tweets about Klaas from Nico Dijkshoorn (@dijshoorn). If you’re interested in the code behind it, click here to download. It’s [...]
