Check Your Bloglebrity ;-)

This mornin' when i crawl over my emails, i found that Terry Ng over at Kineda's Blog (which is one of so many regular readings i had) told me to try this interesting widget :)

The widget that Terry created was based on Dave Sifry’s State of the Blogosphere. So i decided to give it a try :) Well, it's fun anyway ;)

Hm.. that badge surely looks good, if it's was an A, right ? ;P

So, how is this thing works ? Terry has the answers

To be an A-List Celebrity in Hollywood, it's all about the amount of Vanity Fair, GQ, and People Magazine covers you can score. To be an A-List Bloglebrity on the Internet, it's all about the amount of link love you can score.

Children Fun on X'Mas

This christmas thing sure is a whole lotsa fun ^^ and if you have childrens, maybe you can have them try this ^^

It was a coloring site, which gives you a picture, and you got to choose one, and start coloring it ^^ simple ;) You can choose the color that on the list, and just click an area of the picture to color it :) The best thing of it, is that we can have it printed, emailed, or save it to your computer ^^ Well, as for the coloring, it's a little bit annoying for me :P well i guess it was because i'm a 50ker When you color the picture, it'll refresh the image, so if you're on a modem or so, just be patient for the image to load again :P But if that troubles you, then maybe you'll wanna print it, and have it colored manually, which i think is more fun ^^ Well, i myself, have some fun with this :P i guess there's no limitation for age here ;) we can all share the joy ^^ And this Coloring says that Shortly, new functionality will be added for enhanced features. And i hope they fixed the way the coloring work, so that it dont refresh per color :P

And for this X'Mas they already have some nice picture ^^

So, have your Coloring here ^^

Do You Feed ? Buzz ? Scoop ?

When first i got to know RSS, at that point on, i have subscribed and unsubscribed, many sites that offers RSS.

The good thing about RSS is (in my opinion) that you got FED by the news, instead of you search for the news itself.

And people, are always NEWS hungry ;) no one i ever met, that doesn't interested in news, wether it's just a gossips, a rant, a stock market news, politics, sex, celebrity, everyone are lookin for news.

That makes it NEWS provider on the net, grows like a mushrooms :) there's a whole lot of variety on HOW the way they delivers the news to you ;) there's some who is community driven news, and some that break the news 1st and a whole lot more.

Lately there's been some improvement over on how to delivers news. My favourite one lately is BuzzFeed.

BuzzFeed distinguishes what is actually interesting from what is merely hyped. We only feature movies, music, fashion, ideas, technology, and culture that are on the rise and worth your time.

BuzzFeed works with some automated robot crawler, which they claimed that it can IDENTIFY new buzz that’s just starting to spread. PLUS they have some staff and editors in which they put up the buzz into more readable and interesting summary ;)

So this computer crawler combined with editors and feedbacks from the readers, makes it much more entertaining news to watch and read ;)


Another one that still on the Buzz trend is BuzzTracker.

Currently they are still on Beta. But they already have 100+ topic in it :) What i like from BuzzTracker, is that they have the BuzzImage, and BuzzVideo on the right sidebar ;) Now, i don't know how accurate is the BuzzImage :P but the BuzzVideo seems pretty nice :)


A few days back, my bro Avatar post up a (soon to be) newcomer on the news thing. It was called the Scoopr. The concept is quite nice ! And i like the word SCOOP ;)

My first thought of the SCOOP is that, this Scoopr will covers story that considered to be the SCOOP (or the first) of the latest Buzz !
But apparently what they mean about SCOOP is that you can have the Buzz story to be Scoop as in save it.
So, it'll be very good if they can find the SCOOP of the latest Buzz ! Coz i'm always wondering who is the first one that got the SCOOP for let's say "THE HOTTEST NEWS RIGHT NOW!" It's always nice to found who broke the first news, and the others follow it ;) So, maybe they'll changed the way on how SCOOP will be :) coz... this Buzz thing, News thing, is already to much :P

They currently still in private alpha stage. It means that they still have much to improve, and what i wanted on some technical side, is that they will GET RID OF those script.aculo.us javascripts ! Sure thing it was a nice slide, fade FX thing, but it will be NO USE on this NEWS thing, what i want to see is the NEWS not the FX !
Besides, if you wanted to use some nice javascript FX, there's a whole lot more which is more LIGHTER in weight ! Coz, as for me, i'm still the 50kers :P
And i hated when i go clicking this or that, some won't work coz the javascript haven't fully loaded yet.


Now as some closing thought, i found some nice articles here. And that shot me right through how i fell lately :P Lately i was fellin FED UP to much :P And since i've wrote so much, i won't discussed that article now :P But if you do have an opinion, they don't hesitate to share it here ;)

The COMPLETE Guide to MyBlogLog(ging)

I've introduced MyBlogLog before as a great service to make friends with readers ;)

MyBlogLog, now is growing real big ! Many users are interested on joining MyBlogLog, some of it, i'm sure .. uhm .. well kinda sure :P they are just goin with the flow, they saw it there, they've been told bout it, so they signed up.

But what happens after that ? Some is enjoying it, some join their friends community, and some HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ?!

I think for the last "some", that some become the HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO ?! some, because there's some lack in HOWTO use MyBlogLog, IMHO atleast ;)

Sure they've provided Help, and Blog for MyBlogLog, but that just it, just plain old introduction, upgrading to pro's account, about MyBlogLog, where to report if you found bugs, but NONE of it tells us, what to do with MyBlogLog (pardon me for sayin this Eric :P)

So, then hereby, i'll try to cover some guide on "What You Can Do with MyBlogLog" a.k.a "The COMPLETE Guide to MyBlogLog(ging)" ... boy, doesn't that sounds good ;P

Well, here after you signed up, then just log in, and you will see this one :

Your Profile Page !

First thing FIRST ! Please edit your profile, at least put up some picture for your avatar ;) And if you have a blog then ADD IT ! Just click those 2 green buttons ;) Now, if you visit OTHER PEOPLE'S profile, THIS IS THE PLACE where you can ADD THEM AS YOUR CONTACT ;) Secondly, if there's someone visiting your profile, you'll see their picture/avatar here, so maybe you can say hello to them, or if you're lucky you probably will find your soulmate :P (hm... this is OOT :P) Third, if you have joined some community, then other people join the same community as you are, they will appear here, so this is your chance on gettin' know people with same interest as you are (at least so, coz they joined the same community as you are right ?) Fourth, is someone has added you as a contact, then they will appear here, so you can keep track who fell in love with you ;) If you are on other people's profile page, than you can drop them some messages here ;) Fifth, this is where all other people leaves messages for you ;) you can manage the messages here ;) And lastly, this is where you might find lotsa interesting things ;) this shows the HOT in your communities ;) the reason for you to join one ;)

Find Your Interest, Join A Community
MyBlogLog Community offers lotsa great one ;) you can find a new one here, share common interest, leave message to the author, make new friends ;)

1. First, check out the new HOT one here ;) community that got here, if i'm not mistaken, is the one who get people to join up, and they drew lotsa people on one day, so that's made em HOT ;)
2. Second, this is one thing i like the most, these are the new baby born in MyBlogLog ;) new community :) i found lots of interesting one every day ;)
3. Third, if you don't like the same old HOT communities, then you might wanna see the TOP 50 one ;) But as a note here to Mr. Eric, i think the algorithm is kinda messed up ? The tag cloud didn't shows the correct one, i mean if it was TAG CLOUD, then the most to be considered TOP has to be the one is BIG FONTS right ;) but it does not behave like that lately ;)
4. Fourth, if you are so bored in office, or dont have thing to do, why dontcha browse all the communities in alphabetical order :P you might find a pearl inside it ;)

Meet People, Be Friends
MyBlogLog have great number of members up till now :) This is where you'll meet new friends, even get to know your favourite blog author you often visit ;)



Well the members area, are pretty much the same as with the community ;)

1. First, I think this is the HOTTEST member right now (dunno how to get there :P)
2. Second, This are also the lists of Hot Members ! (again .. no clue on how to get there :P)
3. Third, this is our new friends here :) there's a link if you wanna see more new members ;)
4. The fourth and the fifth are pretty much the same as above ;)

Still wanna some tips ? Try click-ing the MyBlogLog logo on the top left and you will see the front page of MyBlogLog.

What to do on the Front Page ?

1. Go Back to your profile page ;P
2. Browse other 'recently' RANDOM 'hot' community ;) as you see, mine got there once :P (couldn't resist to capture the screen :P)
3. This is the people that 'hit' the Front Page, as well as you too, so might wanna check 'em up, or skip 'em
4. Get the recent reader widget to put on your blog/web page, the look of the widget will mostly like what you saw here

Pheeew.. that's all about it boyz and gurlz :) hmm.. well .. okay .. maybe it's not that COMPLETE :P but at least i hope new members can learn this MyBlogLog much quicker ;)

So then, new readers, let's meet at MyBlogLog ;)

[Update 2006-12-16]: Apparantely mtwmike have dug this posts, so if you're a digger, then feel free to dug this ;)



.

Secure Screen Sharing

CrossLoop is a tiny little applications that'll do a not so tiny great thing for you ;) As the trend was set to 'web-startups' CrossLoop take another way on desktop-startups ^^ This is real nice, they've take the right path :)

Okay then, CrossLoop's main idea is to connect 2 PC, uhm .. well yes i know it's not such a big thing, there are already lotsa product that goes into this kinda thing, and even Windows has it's own Remote Desktop built in !

So what's so good bout this CrossLoop thing ? Well, first of all IT'S FREE ;) I mean FREE is a good thing right ? ;)

Another good thing is that the application is tiny, the installer was only 900Kb, and after it was bein installed it took no more than 3MB ;) And if you run it, you'll notice that it's just consume a wee bit memory :) you'll never notice the difference, just like when you open notepad (yup, that light ;))

As for this moment, CrossLoop, currently just supporting 2 people on 2 PC that can share things together remotely ! I think this is good enough, coz CrossLoop is designed for this, so multiusers might sounds good, but that's just a waste IMHO ;) if you wanted multiuser, then just go conference right ? ;)

With CrossLoop, you can do lotsa thing, lemme give you an example, have you had someone who doesn't know how to use an email (yes, i do have one back then :P) and you're having a hard time on explaining what to do ? How to use it ?! and via PHONE ! OMG ! Those were such a tiring days :P

But now, not anymore ;) you can do it while you're on PHONE, and give it A REAL EXAMPLE on how to use an email sucha thing ;)

Now, what i wanted to see more from CrossLoop, is one feature, "chat" ;) i mean there's Skype nowadays, so okay with that, but if i can't use it or you're not allowed to do it in office, or sucha thing, then chat will be the way to communicate ;)

Well, honestly i don't like to open a notepad, write some line, then switch back to show how macros work in excell, and then write again ... and so on .. and so on ..

So, if CrossLoop, will add a nice little chat window, that'll be a great addition ;)

Well, nuff talkin now, why doncha give it a try ;)


p.s:
- if someone want to ask me bout anythin involving "REAL EXAMPLE" maybe we can CrossLoopin each other ;)
- for those who are not on broadband, the screen rendering are a little bit slow ;) maybe CrossLoop will have some optimizing for this ? ;)

So ... It's Midnight Over There

Lately, i met lotsa new friends over the net :) especially with my readers ;) thanks to MyBlogLog, that's been so nice, great work Eric :) You got to meet lotsa nice people there :)

Some little problem i have with, is when i try to chat with some people, they appeared to be offline, well, it's simple, it was midday at my time here, but it was midnight over there ! and often i found out that it was like 3 or 4 AM when at my time it's only 1 PM or 9AM, i surely wouldn't want to bother on someone elses dream ;)

So, i search for some time converter or anythin like that, some gave a nice table, but it's all text :P and it was kinda boring :P so i search for more and found out this little Flash one :) and since i was a flash programmer ;P well i prefer this one ^^ the Time Zone Check (so they called themselves)

This is a simple, and perfectly suits my need :) it's user friendly, just hover over, and you know it's midnight over there ;)

If you have a friend in some other place that are not listed, don't worry, they provided you the Search Box ! Just type in the city name, and little red dot will appear ^^

And oh, did i mention that you can know what date it is too ? ;)

Well, then i've bookmarked this Time Zone Check for sure ;)

If there's another one that is more convinient than this, then lemme know :) since i stopped searchin' after i satisfied with this one ;P

Red Rose to Michelle Goodrich

Today, when i tried to go to Michelle's Mandarin Design, this is what i got

Error 404 Not found

Powered by Zeus Web Server

And my reaction was WHAT THE H**L is this !! Are you kiddin me ?!! OMG !

And so, i began my investigation (with google of course :P) and found out that our dear Michelle have passed away, and it's on June ... and i don't know a single thing bout it ! Shame on me !

Michelle's Mandarin Design, was my favourite resources on learnin' CSS. The best of all there is on the net, since Michelle covers it from basic to advanced, from IE to FF and to Opera, all of it.

This was a great loss, and now they even take down the last piece of her work!

And as Claude Covo-Farchi said in her post above

Keeping someone’s blog on-line, is like keeping some of that person alive. I don’t think that it would occur to someone’s children to intentionally put all the photos of their parents in the garbage, never to be seen again! Aren’t our blogs a bit, or even much of ourselves?

Lastly, thanks to web.archive.org there are still Mandarin Design that alive, we should all treasure this knowledge

And let us remember the great work of our dear Michelle Goodrich

May you Rest In Peace Michelle.

Animator VS Animation

Mr. Alan Becker is one brilliant Flash Animator i've admired sooo muuuch ^^

I've been into flash since i was in college, and i know how much time it is to take to make an animation, with thousands of thousands of frame in it :)

Although i, have made a simple animation in a short time :P

When the first time he made the Animator VS Animation, i went like ..... .... .... .... couldn't speak my mind out ... it was like ... holy s**t this guy is BRILLIANT ! This is the most amazing, creative idea on making flash animation !

Now that was on June this year if i'm not mistaken :)

But lately he MADE ANOTHER ONE ! When i found it, i bang my head to my desk (in my mind :P) HOLY COW, the GUY DID IT AGAIN ! So i couldn't helped to spread it to the world :) and i re-upload it for your amusement ;)

Well, then check out those flash, and hold your jaw, maybe it'll drop :P just click on the picture to open it in a new window ;)

Enjoy the weekend boyz and gurlz :) don't forgot to drop some grettings to the guy ;)

Update:

bLaugh JS For Your Delight

If you don't know bLaugh, then maybe you'll interested on finding out :) bLaugh created a single-panel comicstrip involving events or things or people on the blogosphere :) which surely will brighten up your mornin ^^ they named themselves as The (un)Official Comic of the Blogosphere! :)

About 2 days ago, i found out that bLaugh provided an API for the geeks to play with ;) so as maybe i have the 'geek' spirit myself :P so i decided to make use of it :) and share it with everybody here :)

The script to use was simple, it was javascript, so you just hafta add these line to whereever you wanted this bLaugh comic strip to dock on your web-pages/blog :)

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://efendi.ning.com/bLaugh/displayComic.php"></script>

Now, the default is, the bLaugh Comic Strips will display in 3 column one, and there'll be 10 comics stripe.

But you can customize the script by adding some parameter ;)
There are (currently) 4 parameters you can add, which is : count, col, size

count is how much comic strip you wanted to display, the default is 10

col represents how much columns you wanted it to be displayed, like if you wanna put this on the sidebar maybe you wanted it to be just 1 column ;) the default is 3

size here is to adjust the image scaling size, the value would be in percentage as like if you wanted to have it half size then you entered 0.5 and so on ;) and 0.5 is default

So, with those parameters you can customized the script to looked like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://efendi.ning.com/bLaugh/displayComic.php?count=5&col=2&size=0.3"></script>

Or you can have it to display the newest one like this :

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://efendi.ning.com/bLaugh/displayComic.php?count=1&size=1"></script>

No, why dont you try it yerself ;) if you have some trouble dont hesitate to contact me

Or maybe some suggestions, for further development ? ;P

Pasturella Multocida ?

Neisseria Gonorrhoeae ? Bartonella Quintana ? Huh ?! What with those weird name :P (you might say) Heh, i have no idea of it at first :P

Those words are microbes ! *Yikes* Yup you heard .. uhm .. read it right :)

Emma Lurie, presents you microbes in a fun way ^^ you can read .. and maybe remember it easily ;) It has a cute picture of it too ;) Hmm.. i wish i've found these back on my school days on biology :P It'll be fun to study it :)

Pay her a visit ;) And have a nice weekend with microbes ^^ :P

Make Your Own Loading Gif

Jakob Lange Skjerning from mentalized made some good point on today's AJAX trend that rose up everywhere just like a mushroom :P

An important design element that’s part of the whole AJAX business is somehow letting your user know that stuff is actually happening while the server crunches away. A common way to do so, is to add a little animated GIF that is only shown when the AJAX request is happening.

And that is one of the reasons he collected a few free animated GIFs and put them up here. Which you can download and use them in whatever project you want ;)

If you're still, don't find one that suits yer style, there still more of it here ;)

But as for bein' some perfectionist guy myself, who wanted to specify my own color, and background-color, i was still a wee bit unsatisfied with those list :P

But that was a story of 2 hours ago :P till i found Ajaxload.info - the Ajax loading gif generator :)

Which definetely the perfect one i was lookin ;) It features the simple one that add to my satisfaction, the Background and Foreground color chooser ;) Plus with the added option for Transparent background ;) *perfect* ^^

It even had multiple type of indicator on which you can choose from ;)

But one thing that lacks here, is the preview of each indicator type :P so i generated each of the indicator, so that you can have an idea of what it looked like ;) as i'm sure it'll help you on not wasting some time, tryin' it one by one :P

So here you go the full list of each indicator type ;)

• Circle ball
• Indicator
• Kit
• Arrows
• Indicator Big
• Snake
• Bouncing ball
• Bar
• Bar 2
• Bar 3
• Circling ball
• Hypnotize
• Wheel
• Expanding Circle
• Radar
• Refresh
• Flower
• Squares
• Circle Thickbox
• Roller
• Wheel Throbber
• Smallwait
• 3D Rotation
• Indicator lite
• Squares Circle
• Big Snake
• Big Circle ball

p.s: the colors for the above lists can be changed ;) it's not the default one ;)


Enjoy ^^

Graphical User Interface Gallery

Mr. Marcin Wichary, currently the User interface designer, for Google, is the creator of GUIdebook. That have been online since 2003, so what's this site is all about, well to give you some brief description, i'll quote it from the author himself,

This site is meant to be an online museum of graphical interfaces, especially those old, obscure and in desperate need of preservation. Whether you want just to look back and refresh some nice memories from years ago, or are interested in seeing how the GUIs evolved throughout the decades (and it is sometimes fascinating to witness that)

Originally thought up as a comparison of various GUIs, it evolved into much more than that. GUIdebook features screenshots, icons and sounds, but also dozens of preserved archival articles, book reviews, vintage advertisements, interviews, trivia and posters designed by Mr. Marcin Wichary himself.

As for the questions "is the site still alive till now ?", well Mr. Marcin have the answers here :

The site has been updated regularely for the last two years, and I still try to keep it fresh and interesting by introducing new sections.

Well, then, as i already have permission from Mr. Marcin himself, i presents u some gallery of the screenshots ;) Enjoy :) (click the image to view the bigger one, note: took a while to load ^^)



Tell me which one do you like the most ;) And pay a visit to Mr. Marcin's GUIdebook for more gallery ;)

p.s: i almost know all of the windows, from the earlier one :P

Never Been This Easy !

Wow, today i found this via del.icio.us , a new and simple yet handy tools for us to make profile's picture more EASIER !! yes, its EASIER i assure you ;) even for me who used photoshop a lot, i must admit this have brighten my day :)

This mypictr was a simple tools emerging from all of those Web2.0 apps nowadays, that have the simplest idea yet it was very helpfull. They take on pictures that you've uploaded, and then you can take a frame and click the button to generate the cropped image that suits to your profiles ;) either to flickr digg facebook youtube and a whole lot more !

It took you just 3 steps ! To generate the pictr ;) (well maybe 3 to 5 steps :P) but i mean, just take a look at how easy this is

First thing first upload your most handsome picture like this one ;)

The most brilliant thing is, it's already have some default for what network your pictr will fit into ;) and it will adjust the size in pixels !! Things that i've always DO IT MANUALLY !! OMG ! How i wish this tool appeared 1 or 2 years earlier ;P

Then just slide those zoom thing on the right, this is the good one, since you dont even have to calculate or thing how much pixels does it count to make the picture proportional or anythin' like dat !

And lastly ! Voila !! You can download your pic, of have it emailed to you ;)

WOW ! What an easy one, compared to MANUALLY DONE in Photoshop >.<
And i couldn't helped to say it again, it's never been this easy ! indeed ! ^^

Kudos to mypictr !

And finally, a little tips on how to get the most out of this MyBlogLog thing ;)
So, by far the Communities are MyBlogLog main and core thing :) There are lotsa lotsa Communities on MyBlogLog, here is one of 'em ;)

So, many of 'em that you might ended up wastin' hours just searchin', readin', findin' the one that you liked the most, so how do i find one or two that suits my interest in a flash ?

- Simple, on the Communities page, try to look for the HOT one first a.k.a the big font in the cloud list :D
- Furthermore you can narrow it down, by browsing the directory, in the Alphabet list, and still, use the tips i told you, try lookin' in the cloud that got the biggest font first ;)

Well, then happy finding new Communities, and make a whole lotsa new friends ;)

Hovering Peek-A-Boo Blogger v3.0 Navbar

My bro Avatar has did it again ! This time it's for all of you, beta.bloggers ;)

Well, if you notice the top area at Bloggeratto, then there'll be this so called Hovering Peek-A-Boo Blogger Navbar ;) as in human language is, when you move yer mouse cursor, then the navbar will shows up, and when you move it outside the area, then *poof* disappears ! :P Nuff the talks :P

Anyway, the idea (brilliant one) came up (as i recall) that the Blogger Navbar should be left intact, and not to be altered in anyway ... bla .. bla .. bla .. regarding those agreement or claim or anythin' :P So Avatar did it ;) he managed to keep what Blogger wants, and what we want ;)

And the easiest way to fixed it, was of course using the CSS :) but as for Blogger v2.0 it was not all browser compatible, so the v2.0 was coded using some javascript. But for Blogger v3.0, it was fully CSS !! No more scripting whatsoever ;) But i guess there still some issue on browser compatibility :P

But still again, why dontcha go and give a try ;)
