I decided to start a new blog with a fellow co-worker. It’s called Leftovers and Takeout.
Might disapoint some of you since it’s not a new jQuery plugin or not something related to programing/geek stuff, but I had to do it, it’s a kinda fun project and won’t take too much of my time.
Check it out, it’s worth it!

It has been a while since I had fun coding HTML/CSS. Honestly, building template has become easy and debugging in IE6 has become a pain.

My lightbox clone is getting close to where I want it to be (and some of you too 
)
This new version now support iframes, thanks to “btr” who left a comment that got me started.
To load a page inside prettyPhoto, just link to the desired webpage and add “?iframe=true” to the webpage url to tell prettyPhoto to open the page in an iframe and “&width=300″ and “&height=300″ to specify the dimensions. Don’t worry if the dimensions are bigger than the user viewport, prettyPhoto will resize to fit in the browser window.

I’ve just fixed a bug in prettyCheckboxes where a checkbox would display the hover state after being unchecked in IE7.
Check out the project page to download it: http://www.no-margin-for-errors.com/projects/prettyCheckboxes/
Also, I’ve added the project to github, so feel free to contribute to it!

Here it is.
And guess what, Flash and video support is back. I also tweaked the code a bit so it runs smoother.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting a lot with jQuery selectors. I wanted to find the best way to select elements depending on the situations. I’ve found some information online, but most of them didn’t have number and even worst, they were wrong. read all »

I’ve just released a new version of prettyPhoto. No visual change or no new feature for this version. I wanted to have it better under the hood before adding new stuff. So I optimized the code, removed a lot of calls, it’s now faster and more responsive.

Here’s a little meme I created to show my hate toward the new digg bar.

Do you remember the old days when you actually had to read a box to make sure your computer would be able to run the software you were about to buy. Nowadays you can buy your software without really worrying about the requirements, but what will happen in 5-10 years, when you won’t buy boxes anymore, but log on websites instead.
The trend is to move software from the desktop to the web, it’s no secret anymore. We have the whole Google suite (gmail, gcal, gdocs), Adobe now offers a web version of Photoshop, 280 Slides lets you create online presentations and we’re only getting started.
What will happen then, those kind of “websites” require advanced technologies that are not yet supported by every browser. When you had to buy a software that required an upgrade, you upgraded, what if we had requirements for our website, if your browser don’t support our technologies, just upgrade it.
Google spends an incredible amount of time on their software development to make it work in every browser, where do we draw the line, is it really worth it to invest a lot of money to support a minority?

Due to the lack of time I have to spend improving prettyPhoto lately and the increasing number of people requesting updates and support, I decided to move the code over the github!
I really hope the community will help improve the plugin. I plan to fill the wiki with the full doc, also put the “To dos”,”To Improve”,”To change”, there so it’s centralized and everyone can be on the same page.
If you want to participate, feel free to create a clone and commit it to github!
