How to convert Bookmarklet to Chrome Extension

Gunnard — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:30:45 +0000

I ran into the problem of converting from one to another a while ago and all I could find was a bunch of tutorials that didn’t help too much, half of them outdated or with missing pieces of code.

There was no way that simple copy-paste will solve my problem. Surely, I can’t be the only person that has few useful bookmarklets, but want to save up space and hide bookmarks bar altogether.

Now it turns out that I somehow skipped this piece of code that looks pretty similar to code generated by converter, but before that discovery, I thought: I’m a developer, so there is only one reasonable solution to my problem:

I will create my own bookmarklet to Chrome extension converter.

The top 20 HTML5 games

Gunnard — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:54:01 +0000

HTML5 is quickly turning into a great game development platform. Rob Hawkes, creator of multiplayer space shooter Rawkets, highlights some of the best online games built with HTML5 (and JavaScript) out there and the technologies that they’re using
It’s been a great few years for HTML5 and JavaScript games, both for consumers and developers. The browser platforms have begun to mature and coalesce in regards to the technologies required for these games, the quantity of HTML5 games on app stores and social networks is increasing every day, large game studios are beginning to take interest, and the general quality of the games are improving at a noticeable rate. Couple this with the unease surrounding the future of Flash on the web and you have yourself a platform that can no longer be simply cast aside as unviable. HTML5 games are here to stay, I think it’s safe to embrace that fact.

What’s even more fascinating, at least to me, is the potential of HTML5 and JavaScript as a serious gaming platform. Yes, we have the ability today to create cool 2D games with the canvas element, and even visually stunning 3D games with WebGL. But what excites me the most are the technologies arriving soon; things such as the Gamepad API, Mouse Lock API, and Full Screen API. It is these simple technologies that will help demolish the idea that web games are basic things that you play embedded within another website. Instead, with the ability to connect gamepad controllers and allow HTML elements to run full screen, web games will become much more immersive experiences, much like on consoles and the desktop.

So with all that in mind and in no particular order, here are a selection of my favourite HTML5 games from the past few years. Enjoy!

OpenDNS and the SOPA blackout: The censorship you can expect

Gunnard — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:17:38 +0000

In a show of solidarity with the Internet community, a group of popular websites will “black out” tomorrow to demonstrate what the world might look like if SOPA and PIPA pass. Participating websites include Wikipedia.org, Reddit.com, Mozilla.org and BoingBoing.com.

As the world’s largest DNS provider, more than 30 million people rely on OpenDNS to connect to the Internet. Without functioning DNS, you’d need to know the IP address for every website you visit. And lots of parents, schools and businesses rely on our website to manage their DNS and Web security settings. All that said, taking our service or website down for a day is not an effective way for OpenDNS to show our firm opposition to the bills. Since folks on Twitter and elsewhere are asking, we will be showing our support tomorrow, but we will not be taking OpenDNS offline.

The coming of JavaScript and various web functioning libraries has made the work of interaction easier for any website. Those who are familiar with jQuery know how it helps us in creating jQuery animation. There are some jQuery tutorials and techniques.

12 resolutions for programmers

Gunnard — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:03:42 +0000

It’s important for programmers to challenge themselves.

Creative and technical stagnation is the only alternative.

In the spirit of the new year, I’ve compiled twelve month-sized resolutions.

Each month is an annually renewable technical or personal challenge:

Go analog.
Stay healthy.
Embrace the uncomfortable.
Learn a new programming language.
Automate.
Learn more mathematics.
Focus on security.
Back up your data.
Learn more theory.
Engage the arts and humanities.
Learn new software.
Complete a personal project.

Read on for my suggestions.
