Surreal Todo

I am tired of not being able to organize my time properly. The funny thing is that, from time to time, I manage to solve this problem but, somehow, I find all my time management reduced to a mess again after a while… so I think people like me would really enjoy Surreal Todo, today’s open source Web application.

Surreal Todo can be easily used as an online notebook or, even better, a to-do list manager. Built using PHP, this piece [...]

MyWebSql

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 [...]

ScriptArtist

Sometimes, I really think about starting a career in programming, and the only reason for this is my laziness. Just think about this – when I write stuff, I have to write it all by myself, and I only quote various sources from time to time. On the other hand, programmers have sooo many code generators at their disposal that sometimes, creating a fully featured application is more about messing with a code generator and then checking the resulting code, [...]

Sexy.js

Those who claim that intelligence is sexy may be right, after all. Why? I never thought about programming/code to be sexy, and I wasn’t expecting to see a jQuery library with such a smart branding as Sexy.js. Now, they only need a theme song… and I can’t suggest anything else but ZZ Top’s Legs, since I think it goes perfectly with the home page of this product!

Sexy.js is a chainable library that allows you to easily manage script dependencies [...]

UIZE

As I confessed some time ago, I am a lazy person, although sometimes I even surprise myself by being completely the opposite. Anyway, if I would be actively involved into Web development, I am sure that finding the right plugins and frameworks to work with would be one of my top priorities. Sure, the reason is that having ready-to-roll pieces of code around would allow me to get the job done faster… and continue to enjoy my laziness, of course! [...]

Rialto

As far as most people know, Rialto is the most notorious bridge in Venice. If you missed seeing it so far, go ahead and do it, it’s surely an objective a serious tourist must see, but if you’re a programmer… there’s a different Rialto waiting for you, and it’s even much easier to reach!

In our case, Rialto comes from “Rich Internet Application Toolkit,” being a cross-browser, AJAX-based JavaScript widgets library that can be easily encapsulated in .NET, Python, PHP, [...]

Clean AJAX

Since I confessed my laziness already, today I will take one more step forward and tell you that I hate cleaning up. Don’t get me wrong – I love having everything in order, only that I can’t stand moving things around, wiping the dust, and so on. A direct consequence of this fact is that I only go through my stuff once in a while, because I am very good at keeping things shiny and in place, at least once [...]

ColorBox

Considering the fact that we’re in 2009, and not 1995, delivering pictures on your website in a nice outfit is one of those things you shouldn’t miss. After all, with tools like ColorBox around, adding frames or slideshows becomes a real pleasure, so why not go for it?

The idea behind ColorBox is very simple – you have a 9KB worth of JavaScript code jQuery plugin that’s highly customizable and very easy to use, and you allow it to help you [...]

AjaXplorer

Managing files on a remote server is a real pleasure to me, and that happens only because I NEVER use the rudimentary file manager available inside cPanel, or any other kind of Web-based file management solution. I am really happy with FileZilla or the file managers built into Total Commander or Unreal Commander, so I never cared much about Web-based file managers, until I found the treasure we’re going to talk about today…

… a treasure simply called AjaXplorer! While the [...]

xMDB Viewer

Sometimes, I wonder how it is possible for programs/scripts who didn’t get updated in the last few years to be used by a lot of people who just don’t care about that. Even more, some of these programs came to a sudden stop somewhere along the way, before reaching at least version 1.0. Today, I just got an answer to these questions…

… and its name is xMDB Viewer, described by Attila Szabo, the man behind it, as “an open source [...]
