Anyhow this wasted 5 hours and 13 minutes and I am back to work now after a complete fresh installation of the softwares I need for my development purposes. Read the rest of this entry »



Joined AltairVentures

29 01 2008

I left my old company and joined the new company AltairVentures. Its  a great place. I am working on CodeIgniter  php framework and building a great application. They have good heating system here and I have got a nice cabin with a fast computer, so its a great place to work rather than my previous workplace. It was a misery believe me. They call themselves HOTSOL but infact they are Shit Soul! i I have my reasons to say that. They are not even paying me for the full moth I worked for them. Anyhow who cares!

Script.aculo.us Its about the user interface, baby!

22 01 2008

I am with my best days of learning web development now a days! Having coffee on my cabin’s table where me and my computer live together. Ah its quite bitter :(, I am still not good at making cape chino! But I am still happy as I have learned new things today. I have always been looking for some great JavaScript libraries that would do some really nice tricks like animation effects and user friendly techniques with easy to code syntax and minimal lines of code to call a specfic functionality. So I got it today.

And dear readers, I was really amazed at the high profile sites who are using it for example Gucci ,Digg , Apple fluxiom , Basecamp , Shopify , Blinksale , Backpack , Feedburner , Mailroom , Ruby on Rails and many others.

Isn’t that impressive? yeah I am sure it is!

Be sure to check out the demos, too: effects engine , autocompleter , drag’n’shop , puzzle game

 I will be using it with the codignitor , the new PHP framework that I am  goin g to use for my new project thats a CMS system for teachers to help manage their content for students. It focuses on Web 2.0 with Rich dynamic features!

 



A face in the crowd

21 01 2008

Visit to Chesil Beach this lunchtime, some huge waves smashing into the pebbles, on my way back I grabbed some macros of pebbles.
Tonight I got home from work and was wondering what to do for the self-portrait groups here on Flickr, then I thought of this idea. Probably been done a zillion times before, and found it somewhere deep in my memories, but it’s great wherever an idea comes from.

Do you know there are million ways to be cool

20 01 2008

Yeah here comes another great youtube discovery of mine. There are million ways to be kool/ cool. The song is too damn good and its Title “Oh, Ok Go, You’re a million ways to be cool” says it all. The video is a backyard dance of these 4 guys as I just collected a picture from web of them

Bringing a distant family member to various school functions, and passing them off as your significant other: Not cool. Tights and oversized sweatshirts: Cool for salacious dance teachers, not cool for an awkward high school senior. However, impromptu choreographed dance routines? Always cool.
Unfortunately for most, dance routines are always out of place, and generally result with being banned from various establishments. Ok Go, on the other hand, can perform one in the middle of their set, and look cooler than the Backstreet Boys did when they did that thing with the chairs.
“We never really thought that it would be our video [for "A Million Ways"], we just wanted to come up with a dance so that we could drop our instruments in the middle of our show, and perform a dance routine,” said Damian Kulash, Ok Go’s lead singer and guitarist. “If we could make people feel like they were living in a musical for a second that would be totally awesome.”
