I came across this just a few hours ago and although it sounds like megaman the name is different. This video is freaking superb! A must watch for megaman fans =) !

So, today I happened to search for some funny images and I saw a few lolcats images that were like “omg i’m going to cry from too much laughing” , these images are taken from icanhascheezburger. If you like cats im sure you will find it somewhat funny
Anyway, I’ll regulary blog and post new lolcats images because I like them and cats are cute!

A programmer started to cuss
Because getting to sleep was a fuss
As he lay there in bed
Looping ’round in his head
was: while(!asleep()) sheep++;

Ask these guys.

I got this link from someone that thought it was funny and I was like wtf, see and judge it yourself.

Instead of making use of a layout manager such as borderLayout, flowLayout, gridLayout etc I use an absolute layout to place the component into my container with the coordinate that I specify. The downside is that it requires a lot of testing because you need to make sure that the component you place are in the right position. The other “downside” is that the position of the components never change even when you are resizing the JFrame, JDialog etc.. it is possible to resize the components when resizing the container but that will be discussed another time.

Anyway, this is how to create an absolute layout in Swing:

First set the layout to null so you don’t use any layout managers.
setLayout(null);

After that, create an component that you want to be placed on your container.
input1 = new JTextField();
input1.setBounds(0,0, 99,20);

Add the component:
getContentPane().add(input1);

And finally, set the size of the container etc
setSize(210,120);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setVisible(true);

Yes there are better ways to do this but for me this is the easiest way to do it using absolute positioning. If you have a suggestion or a tip about creating a layout with Swing/AWT im happy to hear about it.

Today I looked at the statistics of my blog and I noticed that there were over 100.000 uniques that visited this blog since January 2007.

With almost 700.000 hits since January 2007 im sure it’s only a matter of months before we hit the 1.000.000 mark. We are growing fast and we recieve more (returning) visitors every day that enjoy reading the blog.

Awesome! We couldnt do it without your support.
Glad you like the blog!

Uhm.. nice parking people.

I needed to write a few javascript functions for a class called (3WEBD1 Web Development 1 TCIE-V3WEBD1B-07) , it's an assignment that I had to do last week but because of the deadline of another ( rather important ) project I skipped it but i'm planning to finish this assignment today/tomorrow.

Anyway, I admit that i'm not very good (you can leave out the "very" ;p ) at javascript so I struggled a bit to find out how to write a regular expression function that would show an message when the postcode is invalid.

After some tests and searching on the net I came up with this:

Call the function by adding this line in your html file:
<Button type="button" name="C" onClick="controleerPostcode();">testButton</Button>
