The Learning Journey

After using the CSS Framework from Content-with-style for a few years, I grew tired of how it’s structured, and how difficult it is to customize.

Along came Blueprint-CSS. A great concept, and wonderful implementation. And with the new BlueprintCSS Generator plugin for Rails from Ariejan.net, how can I resist using it. I’m rolling it out in my current project and starting to feel the ease of customization.

Stay tuned for more updates on how it would turn out.

Great Captcha idea from Railsify

Tempted to signup again for a new one.

For those of us who are Arabic-typing challenged (picking up Arabic letters off the keyboard) - AnyKey is the solution.

AnyKey is a FF plugin that gives you the power of writing Arabic as it sounds (without the need to learn the Arabic keyboard layout). It also got transliteration from “Russian, Ukrainian, Amharic, Armenian, Hindi Davangari, Hebrew, Mongolian, Greek, …”.

Press F2 onto the text box of your choice, then “M” for example, you’ll be presented with the letter “Ù…” in the box. It even got great hacks for heavy sounding characters like “ص” (Shift+S) and dotted characters like “ض” (Shift+S+’).

Oh the Horror! Web Applications are just Web Forms.

Can’t believe that some might think that.
