Tired of that old and sluggish phpMyAdmin? Maybe not, but I surely had enough of it, and today MonoQL surely came to me at the right time and in the right place, just like a wave of fresh air in the middle of Mexico City…

According to the mumbo-jumbo on its SourceForge page, MonoQL is “an AJAX web application to manage MySQL databases.” While providing all the major features phpMyAdmin for mySQL has, such as database/table design, advanced querying or data [...]

While I know a lot of people who still happen to use Notepad as their primary code editor, sometimes I think that Web-based HTML editors can help you get the job done much better, as long as they have what it takes (I am thinking about cross-browser and plugins support before anything else). While it may not be considered a fully featured HTML editor, today’s CLEditor is a pretty interesting piece of code…

… since I am sure that the screenshot [...]

There are two things I hate about Summer: heat and mosquitoes. If I would be moving around a lot, having a heat map at my disposal would be great, but when we’re talking about such a thing like the one we have here today… heat as we know it is only a small part of the whole thing. How’s that? Well, OpenHeatMap is about much more than just high temperatures!

This OpenHeatMap thingie is, according to the official FAQ, “a [...]

When it comes to MySQL clients, I would usually go with the standalone Windows programs, but it seems all those I used so far end up causing some problems, sooner or later. Sure, it may be just my bad luck, but all I can say is that tools like the one I found today, MyWebSql, seem to be more reliable for me and my hosting servers… so let’s take a quick look at this piece of code, maybe you’ll also [...]

If you are not happy with HTML5 Reset, here’s an alternative: HTML5 Boilerplate. Before moving on, let me tell you that this one’s website is clearly much better than the one HTML5 Reset has, so we’re up to a good start here. Good, but what else?

According to the official mumbo-jumbo, “HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass’s base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site.” Without being a framework or describing any philosophy of development, Boilerplate is here to [...]

I don’t know about you, but I sometimes have to share various documents with people who are a bit paranoid. In most cases, it’s about some pictures from a party, but this also applies to work-related data, and when it comes to sharing something only with a few people, you could go ahead and upload some password-protected archive using RapidShare or a similar service, or…

… you could go ahead and grab cFTP! With less than 120kb to download, cFTP allows [...]

Since weekend is coming, I think that some CMS or shopping cart wouldn’t be a good idea. At least when I think about myself, I usually enjoy some light work during weekends, nothing special, as it happens with most of my friends. The web designers that I can call “friends” usually go in the woods during weekends, but when they don’t, they usually avoid work, that’s certain. If things are so boring for them and they end up facing some [...]

If we forget about health and time, probably the most precious thing one can have is a box full of ideas. Hey, even one good idea can be worth millions, especially since it’s not that easy to gather a bunch of ideas under the same banner, no matter if they belong to one or more individuals. These being said, what do you think about a Ruby-powered idea-gathering piece of code freely available?

According to the official mumbo-jumbo, “BBYIDX is a free [...]

As we all know, and some of us even feel it, the global economy seems to cool down. Unfortunately, for some people, things are really frozen, but at least when it comes to online shops, there’s still a pretty solid chance to succeed. Sure, a lot of shops, online and offline, have been going down lately, but this leaves some room to exploit, especially since things will slowly start heating up again pretty soon.

All the above being said, you may [...]

While I can work in a team, I usually hate teamwork. The main reason is the fact that my work could be influenced by other’s mistakes, but I can’t say I am really that much into other people, either. These being said, I’ll turn things upside down and tell you a few things about a collaboration platform usable by small teams and enterprises, as well. What, you were expecting a tool for solitary freelancers? Lol, not today, that’s for sure! [...]
