In OSX 10.7 (Lion) visible scrollbars was removed and it actually works quite well, with the introduction of desktop touchpads.
However one thing that doesn’t feel right is when you encounter websites that implements the css attribute overflow: scroll.
If you take a look at ekstrabladet.dk you will notice 3 colums when you scroll down the page. They actually implements overflow hidden and because of that you wont notice that they contain more data than what is shown because the scrollbars are not visible.
I personally think that overflow:scroll is bad for your html. If you want to have fixed height content but still would like the option to show more, then use a pager.
Is it OSX 10.7 that is broken? or is it scrollbars inline in html doc?
I’ve for some time been trying to figure out a way to restart Apache from Alfredapp on OSX. Today I, thanks to @arnejoergensen, discovered osascript which let’s you fire commands with administrator privileges.
That said, you still need to type your password, but instead of doing it in a terminal you get a much more refined dialog to do so.
osascript -e “do shell script "apachectl restart" with administrator privileges”
echo “Apache was restarted”
Remember to tick Growl on advanced tab.
This could probably be done in a much more refined way, but it works :)

Planning Poker
As part of a “develop something for fun” day at work, I implemented Planning Poker in this mobile webapp, using Pubsubhubub.
When all players are logged in, the game can start. It relies on a nearly perfect internet connection inorder to function smoothly, and yet it is still buggy. But anyway the intention was nothing but a prototype.
Playing with Inline SVG
Removing the CSS3 Webkit animations, to make it more compatible with other browsers that recently started supporting inline SVG.
CSS3 Shadows
Attending Øresund Frontend Meetup. We discussed various Javascript and CSS tricks. We were experimenting with box shadow, and realized that shadows dosen’t render through elements but merely around. Therefore I tried the same approach as you would with negative text-indent, and it seemed to do the job.
Spotify Albumlist
Wanting to experiment with drag and drop, localstorage and other nifty features of modern browsers I decided to build an albumlist for Spotify. Spotify is in general very good, but I think that it lacks the possibility for albumlist and not only focusing on playlists, not that this webapp is the answer, but it was a fun project.
Inline SVG
Experimenting with Inline SVG and CSS animations. Everything is one ressource, the HTML document.
Reload Logo
I was working with inherited percent size in a mobile template I’m building, which lead to this fun mini project.
