Dreams and realisation

Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.

Mongolian Shoe BBQ by Puma

Mongolian Shoe BBQ by Puma

What better way to find out about this than to create a virtual shoe or even better create a language in which teenagers can design their shoes and see what they design. Companies are waking up to the idea of Web 2.0. It is a very powerful tool.

Philip Evans, Senior VP, Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Co-author, Blown to Bits

A good Web 2.0 example. You design your own shoes and then buy them online. Every now and then, a Puma model’s supposed to be pulled from the past for you to get dirty with.

The Semantic Web

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

Firebug- Firefox extension for developers

I installed the Firebug extension yesterday after a lot of us heard about it from Srimanth at work. Like the web developer extension, this one is killer too.

All of the tools you need to poke, prod, and monitor your JavaScript, CSS, HTML and Ajax are brought together into one seamless experience, including a debugger, an error console, command line, and a variety of fun inspectors.

FireBug’s features include:

  • JavaScript debugger for stepping through code one line at a time
  • Status bar icon shows you when there is an error in a web page
  • A console that shows errors from JavaScript and CSS
  • Log messages from JavaScript in your web page to the console (bye bye “alert debugging”)
  • An JavaScript command line (no more “javascript:” in the URL bar)
  • Spy on XMLHttpRequest traffic
  • Inspect HTML source, computed style, events, layout and the DOM

Download the Firebug extension here: Firefox add-on: Firebug

A Universal Accessible Web

The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

A few links on SSM (Soft Systems Methodology)

Here are a few links on Peter Checkland's Soft Systems Methodology. This is the research method I went with for my college thesis. If you ever need to work with SSM, while these links are pretty useful, I'd recommend you to read the book he's written, Systems Thinking, Systems Practice. It's pretty rare though... in comparison to other books I've required. There were just two libraries out of all the national libraries here ins Singapore that housed this book then, and these locations were really far from east cost, one being at Woodlands.

Gasp.. I can breathe!

So the internet guys came over and set up everything and I’m finally connected to the net again. Yay! And for once, Airtel’s done a beautiful job of the wiring. Really.. I’m impressed, thanks to my land lord.

It’s been two weeks without any internet at my new pad thanks to a really busy schedule.. so it’s been half an hour and Outlook’s still not finished downloading mails off my accounts. Yeh… spam sucks!

Airtel gives you a phone with every broadband connection. Now don’t think thats sweet. You have to buy the damn instrument. It’s mandatory! No buy phone, no internet. Crap! If you’d like my suggestion, throw it out of the window as soon as you get it. Airtel messes up with your telephone bills bigtime. Ask me about it. Okay, don’t chuck it outside the window. Gift it to somebody or something. Sell it off. Just don’t use it… but then do if you wanna… I’m not.

Elegance & Simplicity

Designers would know Exupery by the following quote below, if not through "The Little Prince" or "Wind, Sand and Stars".

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Children

Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
