Nikon D700, D300, D3, D2Xs, D80, D60, D40 - confused?

07/05/2008 09:05 am in Photography

I’ve been too busy in my “day job” during the past couple of months to keep up with the Nikon rumor mill so when Nikon announced the D700, I was surprised AND a bit confused as to where this new camera fit into the D-series lineup. I own a Nikon D70, D200 and D300. As expected, [...]

Delaying Ajax-based validation triggers

07/04/2008 09:42 pm by Aral Balkan in Ajax

When you're doing Ajax-based validation on a text input control, you really don't want your data calls firing off at every keyup event as this will put unnecessary load on your server.

One of my favourite AIR features is the support of creating local database file using SQLite embedded engine.

You can use this feature to store application data, favourite users' configuration options, document-oriented application, to cache data and synch it with the network.

Linux Flash Player 10

European VAT Number validation API

07/04/2008 11:05 am by Aral Balkan in Development

EU-based businesses are required to obtain valid VAT numbers from VAT-registered entities. Unfortunately, especially for e-commerce systems, there isn't a simple way to check the validity of a European VAT number. The European Commission provides a web site where you can validate VAT numbers by entering them in an HTML form. This is not [...]

Blueprint: a CSS framework for grid-based layout

07/04/2008 01:41 am by Manish Jethani in

Image: Grid-based layout

I’ve been doing a lot of bookmarking on my del.icio.us stream lately. Among today’s finds is Blueprint, a CSS framework that makes it easy to achieve grid-based layouts in your web pages.

Check out their sample website, or their grid demo, and view the HTML source to see how it’s done.

Designers love grids. Thankfully there’s some work going on at the W3C towards making grid-based layout easy in CSS.

By the way, I’m looking for a CSS guru to work with me on a project. Please write to me at manish.jethani@gmail.com.
