CSS BOTTOM FOOTER CODE

January 15th, 2010

CSS code to ensure your footer stays at bottom

Introduction

There are many sticky footer methods to be found in Google. I’ve tried many of them and they usually fail in some regards. The problem it seems is that some of these methods are old and may have worked in older browsers but they don’t in newer browser releases. Because those pages are old, and were heavily linked too in the past, they still rank high in Google. Many webmasters looking for a sticky footer solution end up scratching their heads as they try these same old methods because they are the first ones they end up finding when they search.

Speed up firefox!

January 2nd, 2010

Hello there everyone,

I would like to show you some of the few tips of how you can speed up your firefox browser experience 5 times faster.

These are some of the few easy ways you can increase the performance.

  1. Install less not used plug-ins.
  2. Clear history.
  3. Update your firefox to the latest.
  4. allow cache and cookies.
  5. Configure firefox.
  1. Open your browser and type “about:config” in the address bar. A warning message will appear, just ignore it and click on the “I will be careful, promise!” tab.
  2. Search “network.http.pipelining” by using the filter bar on top of the page. Double-click it to set its value to True.
  3. Make a new Boolean value and name it “network.http.pipelining.firstrequest”. You need to set it also as True.
  4. Search “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” and change the value from 4 to a higher one. Also, search “network.http.proxy.pipelining” and change it to True.
  5. The final step to Faster Firefox Tweak - Speed up Firefox by making two new integers named “content.notify.interval” and “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” set both to zero so that Firefox will not have to wait before it does something on every information sent to it.

Twitter Application Development

January 1st, 2010

Hi everyone, Happy New Year. Year 2010 is here, what are you going to do in 2010 to make a world difference through all issues in 2009 that were left behind (economic, global warming?)  I’m quite sure you can develop applications to change the world.

Alright. Today’s technology blog post would be Twitter Application Development.

Recently, I’m quite vexed while searching for an appropriate and trusted mobile Twitter application for my Samsung Omnia which runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. And I gave up after searching one list since I do not know if the source is reliable and stable to support my mobile phone.

I myself, love to tweet a lot since I’ve linked my Facebook status to Twitter. So whatever I tweet on my Twitter account, my Facebook status get updated from Twitter. I like Twitter because of its micro-blogging and its lightweight since I can browse it online using the mobile Twitter web version. But I simply dislike browsing Twitter through a web browser because I’m lazy to launch the browser. Well, perhaps I have a business look-alike mind. So yea, launch applications.

Recently I decided to find Twitter API to develop a mobile Twitter application. Guess what, I found this http://c-programming.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_use_c_for_twittering for C# programming.

Simply, you can download the framework here, http://code.google.com/p/twitterizer/. Extract the contents in the folder and place the files into a folder, perhaps in your Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (if you are using 2008, 2005 - Microsoft Visual Studio 2005) folder, browse to your project location and place the contents in there.

In your IDE (Integrated Development Environment), simply follow the screenshot below:

untitled

Voila, you can browse the framework in the solution explorer for the methods that you can use in the framework such as user login authentication.

Hope this helps. :)

Flex Vs JavaFx

December 18th, 2009

Ever wonder what flex and javafx are all about?

Flex is a framework that was developed by adobe and establish as one of the fastest and effective User interface library. Flex not only just provide UI but it also allows developers to take control of RIA technology far more superior compare to flash. Therefore, flash was now mainly intended to be an animation tool while flex focus more on the quick way of developing RIA application on the net and to be surprised it can be easily ported to the desktop with adobe air.

JavaFx another framework that has been created by Sun Micro System is also part of the RIA challenge, with such tight competition, a strength that JavaFx differs from flex is the ability to quickly create fantastic animation and graphs compare to flex where 3rd party libraries comes into play. JavaFx is also an opensource framework which means it gets better as a pool of developers are able to improve the framework. If i were to recommend, i would suggest to go for flex if you want to develop quick RIA application on the net, the reason is simple, adobe has a commanding marketing superior on flash, flex is part of flash so it make sense that many users has already installed flash plugin. If you wish to explore and learn or integrate RIA with your java applications i would suggest you go for javafx.So what do you think? Which framework works for you best?

Nokia with New Symbian UI coming in 2010

December 4th, 2009

Nokia announced their 2010 year plans for major renewal of the aging Symbian user interface and pushing the first Maemo 6 device. But the good news didn’t end there, since the podcast published actually demoed some of the UI changes.


Some screenshots of the new Symbian UI

Next year the Symbian S60 promises to make better use of the capacitive touchscreen technology, bringing native multi-touch capabilities. The mobile OS will take full advantage of the new capabilities, reducing the number of taps needed for some common actions dramatically - reaching favorite music or video, creating and accessing emails accounts, etc).

The Symbian OS will dump more than 350 annoying prompts, which frustrate many users. Even more, Nokia will upgrade from the mediocre 15fps graphics when scrolling to the impressive 60 fps. The web browser will also receive its portion of improvements, benefiting experience, user-friendliness and performance.


Some screenshots of the new Symbian UI

Well, it was about time, if not a bit too late. Still we appreciate the good intentions and the fact that Nokia finally understood that the Symbian OS is not the problem, but its outdated user interface. We are now more eager than ever to see more details about the new Symbian face. Until that happens here goes the podcast, allowing you a peek into the future to make the waiting more bearable.
