Raphaël JS - SVG for the masses

DateTuesday, November 3, 2009 at 8:43PM

"Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library."

http://raphaeljs.com/

I've only had a short time to play around with this framework today, but so far I'm very excited about it's potential. Being able to create some very clean graphics that work with the dreaded IE browser is a big plus. I'll post more on this library in the coming weeks, but until then, you can check out this great tutorial to get you up and running.

If you come across any other "must read" tutorials for this library, please leave a comment with a link.

SpiralTrac - new information tracking service

DateFriday, October 30, 2009 at 9:37PM

Recently Spiral Friends, Inc had released a new online web service called SpiralTrac. This new online service will help you keep track of all that wonderful amount of information you have to deal with in your day to day lives.

The first version of the service contains a Issue Tracking system along with a CRM solution. The interface was created with simplicity in mind, so that it's easy to pick up and run with. The next solution to be added to their system is a Reporting Center, which will "allow you to slice your information any way you need, allowing you to assess your business while giving you a leg up on the competition."

Here's a small blurb from their website:

SpiralTrac was built with a simple goal in mind: Allowing easy and powerful tracking and analysis of information. In today’s world, information can be your most powerful asset. That is where we come in. With our resources, the cracks that information used to slip through will be sealed.

If you would like to try it out, go to SpiralTrac today.

My Delicious Bookmarks

DateFriday, October 30, 2009 at 7:27PM

I just recently, like about 2 days ago, started adding notes to my Delicious.com bookmarks. This has not only helped me to remember why I bookmarked this site but also with narrowing down my searches when I need find something very specific.

Tags are great for keep bookmarks organized, but nothing beats having a personal note related to the website to help your future needs for that site.

So when I have a free moment I'm going to start randomly adding notes to all my previous bookmarks. This process may take a while, since as of this blog entry I have over a thousand (1,000+) bookmarks on the system.

Here are some useful links to some of the bookmarks I have:

 

jQuery - what can I say, I love this javascript library. So many great add-ons that people have created for this thing.

Design Inspiration - the best way to get over a mental block when designing webpages is to take a look at other designers awesome work.

Photography - one of my favorite past times is taking pictures. Here's a bunch of photography related sites I came across, from Photoshop tutorials, DIY Lightboxes, and how to take some awesome pictures.

That's it for now, I hope you find some useful links from my previous stumbling around the web.

Boondock Saints 2... shrug

DateFriday, October 30, 2009 at 6:33PM

I was so looking forward to watching this movie when it came out. But it seems it will only be available in a few locations in New York and Los Angeles.

This saddens me, the first movie was great. After hearing a sequel was going to finally be released, I was super duper excited for it.

But it seems that excitement will have to be saved for another day.

That's it, just my random thoughts and excitement about a movie I was SOOOOO looking forward to seeing. Maybe I'll just go watch Astro Boy or something.

How to install PHP on Windows XP (IIS)

DateFriday, October 23, 2009 at 10:38PM

For some reason the "automated" installer that PHP.Net has listed on their site has never worked for me. So here’s a set of instructions that should help people that have to install PHP manually on IIS. This article assumes you already have a working copy of IIS.
