Guitar Chord Finder : Yet another old day script

28, Mar 2009

Yet another one of my old days of Javascript – Guitar Chord finder. I can play Spanish Guitar a little. So in the beginning (2000-01) i needed the chord chart often visually. All of the guitar tab site write their tabs in similar fashion. Like if you talk about A major it will be like [...]

Upload all your files in lowercase in Codeigniter

24, Mar 2009

You might all probably know that *nix systems treat myPic.jpg and MYpic.jpg different while windows systems don’t . So there’s always been a need to deal with filenames across different systems. We upload files which may be in lower case, uppercase or a mixture of both. This sometimes kills our valuable time and effort. To deal [...]

Is Kohana moving faster than Codeigniter ?

23, Mar 2009

Look at the Alexa graph above. What do u think ?   I’ve been using Codeigniter in Mid and Fairly Big project for over a year and a half. Kohana was released before i started but the amount of online support and tutorials and an active company development (EllisLab) made me decide using CodeIgniter. But [...]

Screen saver like Javascript

18, Mar 2009

 This is one of my old creations of my early programming life, probably in 2000. It’s basically some rotation geometry. When you run it (changing the name parameters), the name will behave like rotating in 3D across the screens and bouncing from corners to corners. It was made for IE only that time. I’ve ported [...]

PhpMinAdmin – nearest alternative to phpMyAdmin

18, Mar 2009

I can’t possibly tell how many times i’ve been seriously irritated  navigating to phpmyadmin option of my hosting or hostings of the projects i have worked with. Most of the cases you’ll have to click many times. And in Plesk ? It simply sucks when it comes to use phpMyAdmin from there. I’ve always used [...]

jQuery removes backward compatibility in selector

16, Mar 2009

[@attr] removed from jQuery There were lot of scripts where I used jQuery selector with using [@attr]. Like if you want to select an input with a name="input_test" , you’d probably write   $("input[@name=input_test]") to select that input. But it’s removed from releases of 1.3 and later. Now you have to write $("input[name=input_test]") and I have got no problem [...]

That sounded interesting. Why ? cuz i had some sort of fascination about the value of PIE. i used to memorize upto 22 numbers which is 3.14159265358979323846 and i used to create kind of geek [...]

What if there were no firebug ?

12, Mar 2009

Sometimes this comes to my mind that what if there were no firebug ? What would it mean to debug the DOM and Javascript, AJAX – everything ? The answer comes like a dark age. Seriously, we got so much used to Firebug that i can’t even think of making apps that involves DOM manipulation, [...]

9 cool css headers i frequently use

11, Mar 2009

CSS, CSS and CSS, that’s what you should know well to even judge some designs. I’m basically a programmer but I think i can do some kick ass designs too. From the very beginning of web development, i learned both Web programming and designing. There used be a tool called "Top Style Lite". It’s still [...]

So, some people stole my script and i didn’t know !!

10, Mar 2009

Thought I’d share some more snippets of javascript I wrote back in 2000-2001. It was fun playing with hex colors and at some point of time i could tell closer hex color code of thing I see around. Sounds geeky? No. I just enjoyed to do that. When I’m writing this, out of curiosity i [...]
