Aran Deltac's Blog - Fixing Pixelated Images on the iPhone
http://blog.bluefeet.net/post/16716377857/pixelated-images-iphone
Fixing Pixelated Images on the iPhone. When an iPhone with a retina display (iPhone 4 ) displays an image on a web page that image’s size is doubled, so each pixel in the image actually takes up 4 pixels and looks pixelated. This looks unprofessional and tacky. Here’s an example of a 245x80 image:. You’ll have to load this page on an iPhone to see the problem in the above image. The pixels in the image have jagged edges and the photo overall looks blurry. Img src="." width="245" height="80".

http://blog.bluefeet.net/post/16524366173/yapc-talks-approved
YAPC: NA 2010 Talks are Being Approved. I just got my approval for the two proposals I had submitted for this coming YAPC: NA 2010. I’m very excited. This will be my first time doing any sort of talk at a YAPC. I’ve been wanting to do this for years and I am very grateful that the organizers of the conference considered me. Over the last few years I’ve been trying to hone my presentation skills by presenting various topics almost monthly at the Thousand Oaks Perl Mongers. And Los Angeles Perl Mongers.

Aran Deltac's Blog - Using DBI Effectively: bind_columns()
http://blog.bluefeet.net/post/16523564065/perl-dbi-effectively
Using DBI Effectively: bind columns(). One of the most under-utilized features of DBI is is the bind columns() method. The majority (as in everyone) that I show bind columns() to have never seen it before or used it. Here’s what it looks like:. My $sth = $dbh- prepare('SELECT name, email FROM users'); $sth- execute(); $sth- bind columns( my( $name, $email ) ); while ($sth- fetch() { print "$name: $email n"; }. My ($name, $email); $sth- bind columns( $name, $email );. Secondly, when using bind columns() D...

http://blog.bluefeet.net/post/16530609774/tumblr-syntax-highlighting
Adding Syntax Highlighting to Tumblr Posts. I’ve just moved my blog to Tumblr. One thing that most my posts have are code examples. Here’s how I added this to my Tumblr blog. Go in to the customization section of your blog where you can configure the theme. Once there, click the “Edit HTML” button and add this somewhere before the ending. Adjust “solarized light.min.css” to point to whatever highlight.js. Theme you’d like to use. The themes can be viewed on the highlight.js test page.

Aran Deltac's Blog - Check out SQL::Abstract::Query
http://blog.bluefeet.net/post/16523338672/perl-sql-abstract-query
Check out SQL: Abstract: Query. During the last few months I’ve been working on the CPAN distribution SQL: Abstract: Query. The drive for doing this is that DBIx: ResultSet. Another module of mine) currently has lack-luster support for auto-incrementing IDs, has a custom and inflexible solution for GROUP BY, and has no support for JOINs. The second two issues, bad support for GROUP BY and none for JOINS, really just required extending SQL: Abstract and overriding its behavior.
