Browser Sandbox

Cross browser compatibility is definitely one of the biggest problems a web developer has to face in his daily job. The browser sandbox lets you run any Windows browser from the web. The only bad thing is that you must run a Windows machine: The app does not work on Macs and GNU/Linux.

Images may be worth a thousand words, they’re also well known to use a lot of bandwidth. Images can be optimized for the web using programs like Photoshop; but if you don’t own a copy of this software or simply don’t have a clue how to do it, smush.it is what you need.
Brought to you by Yahoo developers network, Smush.it is an online tool that will reduce your image size without reducing their quality. For WordPress users, a very handy plugin for your favorite blogging engine is available here.

Even better, compression level can be configured to fit your needs.

Aware with AM/PM

August 17th, 2010

AM – Ante Meridian
PM – Post Meridian

You may wonder this topic might be crazy…
The reason for this post is with the incident which happened last week.
Last week one fine day (12/8) it was my sister’s birthday, i have planned to give a surprise to her at the midnight i.e., around 12.00 AM.
As far as the time ticks to 10.00 PM i feel asleep. So i kept the alarm to 11.50 AM to give a surprise.

Note: it was 11.50 AM not 11.50 PM.

Actually the alarm must be kept at 11.50 PM, due to some little confusion i missed this. I woke up in the morning and saw the Alarm it was set to 11.50 AM.
This might be a silly mistake, but this may make you miss the occasions which occurs rarely.

Do not set the alarm when you feel asleep, terms 12 a.m. and 12 p.m. cause confusion.
