Polar Clock 3.0 Released !

If you still remember the beautiful Polar Clock, well just so you know, since then, there have been many improvement going on ;)

And now, we have it, the new Polar Clock 3.0 is Released from Gabriel Bucknall!


The core logic itself was a total remake, porting it to ActionScript 3.0 which is more optimized ;)

So without further ado, here are the New Features :

• Language Selection (28 languages so far)
• Text alignment (outside, centre or inside of arc)
• Font size 12 - 30pt
• Flipping of text when it’s in the lower half of the arc (to stop it being upside down)
• Guidelines behind arcs

• 24/12 hour clock modes
• Arc properties (thickness, padding, radius )
• A spacer Arc for padding between Date and Time ( movable to be between any arc)
• Continuous/Stepped motion (continuous was requested a lot, so that you can see a minute slowly stretching each second to become the next minute etc).
• Ordering of the arcs. You can put the arcs in any order that you want.

• Colours: Luminance, change the lightness of the arcs
• Colours: Saturation, change the strength of the colour
• Colours: Hue offset, change the hue of the arcs to between 0º and 360º.

This is a very great improvement for Polar Clock :D Kudos to Gabriel Bucknall for such a marvelous job ^^

Blogger: Redirect Your Feed to Feedburner

Back in the old days, Blogger offer us feeds in ATOM format, and then they provided the popular RSS one :) Which gives us a way to do some tricks to offer both feeds, and let readers choose which one they wanted to grab.

But nowadays we burn feeds with FeedBurner, in order to grab some statistics of how many readers you have :) But still, some blogs, by default are offering the Blogger feeds default. So, in this case if you wanted to track how many readers you have by using FeedBurner, then maybe there's some number that has not been counted, those who subscribe to your default Blogger feed.

FeedBurner (after being acquired by Google) now surely are gettin' good ^^ They are offering the PRO versions. And now they have another good news for Blogger users, "FeedBurner Integration for Blogspot Blogs"



It simply redirect your feeds to FeedBurner one so that users will always grab the FeedBurner feeds (if you still don't have FeedBurner feeds, head on to the Quick Start for Blogger on how to make one).

By redirecting your feed, you can get a true picture of how many subscribers you have .... By redirecting your feed, you can consolidate any straggler subscribers and greatly improve your ability to effectively measure your audience.

So, how do you do this ? SIMPLE ! You just log into your Blogger account, select Settings | Site Feed, enter your FeedBurner feed address and click "Save Settings."

Voila. You'll be getting an actual number of your feed reader ;)
