Kinetic Text Animation using jQuery
May 11th
Ever seen one of those cool kinetic animations?
I thought about making one using jQuery. And I sort of did. It’s not exactly a “kinetic animation” but it just somewhat like it. And its very small. Usually kinetic animations are of at least a minute, this is just a few seconds. But hey, it’s all done using jQuery. This is just done to show that a kinetic animation can really be achieved using jQuery. I, being a jQuery n00b for now (and more when I made this), couldn’t do more with it. I still don’t know if we can rotate text in jQ, else that’ll be COOL! More >

May 10th
We all have blogs, we all have quite a number of plugins installed. But if we setup a new wordpress blog, we need to sort a big list of plugins to install. So I’ve decided to make this short list of 5 must-have plugins. Without these, I doubt you have a proper blog 😛

How to Screenshot a Webpage?
Feb 10th
As a web-designer, I’ve always had to deal with extra work when i wanted to screenshot a webpage design. I used to do it manually, taking bit by bit the visible portion and then joining them together. It used to be a real headache! So i did a bit of googling and came across a really good firefox add-on.

Dec 25th
We all know that every company now needs a website of their own. For that they need a domain name. I found a few domains names i’d like you to have a look as it looks and not as its supposed to be! And for that i’ve alternatively made each word (as it looks) bold…

How to test site compatibility in IE6?
Sep 21st
Many designers face this issue. Suppose you code a website, it works great in all browsers. But you don’t know about IE6, and you WANT TO check it! What many users do is somehow install a virtual machine, get IE6 and do loads of headaches and time wasting. I just found a simple and great way to check your website or template in IE6.
This not only checks in IE6 but you can start from IE3!!!
Nothing too complicated, its just a small software which installs Internet Explorer versions you select, and run them individually instead of overwriting your current IE version.
The software is developed by TredoSoft and is called Multiple IEs, so far i have found this useful, and i recommend you to download this if you wanna test your sites or templates in IE6. You can just install IE6 or even install previous versions…

Someone is impersonating me
Sep 3rd
Something weird is happening. Someone has seemed to register on many websites and forums (cant be a bot because a bot only works under one type which could be a vbulletin forum or a wordpress site, but here all types of sites) using my username “campolar”. Just posting this for you to know, they are NOT ME! Anything which happens with a username called “campolar” who does spam is NOT ME. I am trying to get my hand on those, but i may be out of luck. I’ll keep you guys updated…
