If you ever wanted to add a JPanel with various interactive components (e.g. JButtons, JCheckBoxes etc.) in a JTable cell and could not figure out how to make them work, then this post is for you. Otherwise, continue googling ;)

In my previous post I only briefly talked about numbering your headings. Well, today I discovered how to do them the right way. Interested? Continue reading after the jump.

I finally figured out how to use some features in Microsoft Word 2007. Wanna join the fun? Read after the jump!

A hypochondriac is someone that will wake up in the middle of the night and take a long deep breath because he thought that for the last two minutes he wasn’t breathing at all. A hypochondriac is someone that will see a bruise a few inches above his right hip and think that it has something to do with an STD while completely forgetting that he slept on an eraser at that exact same spot. A hypochondriac is someone that discovers a lump in his head and immediately panics until his girlfriend will tell him that it was always there.

One thing is for sure, a hypochondriac is someone that has no health problems what so ever. By the wise words of Mike Baldwin, the first step for a hypochondriac is to admit that he has no problem.

I am a hypochondriac and I have been sick more times than I have been healed. These are my stories.

One of the first things you will need when developing a 2D game will be a sprite class. This sprite class will eventually need to handle animations. So what do you do? As any prototyping tool you develop, you go look for free graphic resources. Unfortunately, most animated sprites are in a gif format. So now you need something that will convert that into a single sprite sheet. Here is where JSpriteSheetCreator comes.

After playing around with Twitter’s API, I decided to take a look at Flickr’s API as well. Nothing special, just something I wanted for myself and decided to extend it for general purpose.

Have you ever wanted to print a website but only part of it? Especially from a blog. Remove the comments, the navigation menu, the footer; basically everything else other than the post itself. Well, I can think of at least one website that I want to print right now. And, as any programming geek would think, the easiest way I found to do so is by creating a small tool.

Have you ever started something with your friends and had to leave it because it turns out, nobody was as excited as you were? What did you do about it?

Well, I decided to share it.

Ever so often my Twitter followers list changes and usually that means that somebody stopped following me. Leaving aside their reasons (if you ask me, I wouldn’t follow me in the first place) I hate the fact that Twitter doesn’t provide a way of informing me who was it. Instead, I have to remember. And since I have the worst memory anyone could possibly have, I decided to do something about it (about Twitter’s lack of functionality, not my memory).

I had a lot of free time these days so I sat down to play with jQuery. I ended up creating a small calculator that tells me whether I have a chance to pass a module or not. Turns out, this wasn’t the right thing to spend my time.
