Charles Roth -- Techblog
This page is a quick-and-dirty entry point into my various "tech blog" pages. It's mostly here so that Google can find its way into the descriptions of various interesting or annoying problems that I've solved. Enjoy!
- Cross-Browser Fixed Horizontal Bar (no frames). How to use CSS, even with (ugh) IE6, to create a fixed horizontal bar on a page, where everything else can scroll "underneath" it.
- Credit Acceptance Weblog. Various problems I encountered and solved while working at Credit Acceptance Corp.
- Ditto, for IBS (Interactive Business Systems).
- JBOSS port renumbering.
- Fedora 7 on Dell Latitude D520.
- Integrating WebHuddle with other applications. WebHuddle is a cool, open-source, synchronous meeting tool, which includes chat, shared desktop, "slideshows", and VoIP conference calling.
- Merging subversion forks. "How I learned to stop worrying and love the fork" by writing a two-way merge script 'mergeFork'.
- KidBasic is an excellent, open-source (free) tool for teaching computer programming to kids. I've built a distribution that includes some additional material for parents, a CD that auto-launches when inserted into a Windows PC, and a MacOS X version.
- TrueCrypt is a lovely, cross-platform, encryption and security tool. It does on-the-fly encryption of entire volumes. A volume can be either a physical disk partition, or a (large) pre-defined file that acts as a logical volume.
- ThreadTracker is my attempt at bridging the Java-threads and Linux-threads divide.
