Form refers to the form object, while Form Elements refer to the input fields, text area and selection boxes. The …
I was just back from my hometown a couple of days ago, and in the midst of catching up with a project dateline after the no-working mood celebrating Chinese New Year in Indonesia, I was fortunate enough to be interviewed by Bernard Leong, from SG Entrepreneurs.For the rest of the interview please click here. And thanks to SG Entrepreneurs.
I got a mail last night, a short email from a close friend of mine in Indonesia. She started her line with, “[name]’s mum has just passed away. …”, and cloes it with two lines of Buddhist chants, which I did not understand; but I know they are usually said after someone has just passed away. She said the same chants when her mum passed away some years …
So you heard of Ruby On Rails (RoR), watched a 15 minutes screencast. And you kind of liked it. You tried coding ‘Hello world’, and you said, “Hey, this is easy”. You thought you should push yourself and try out a more complicated stuff, stuff real developers do.You wanted to create a few standard panels on your home page, because almost every site …
I do not usually design logos, other than for my own business or application logos. Having been busy coding for the last couple of weeks, my brain yearns to do something creative. So I took a break yesterday and design a new logo forIndonesian Professionals Association (IPA), a pro-bono work that I have promised them some time ago.These are the two drafts that I’ve come …
You know, once in a while, you do strange thing in your life, like getting up early, buying Chinese newspaper even if you do not understand most of the words, and flipping through the pages eagerly to look for just one page to be immortalised.Ah…and I did that this morning, I stopped at a page with a word I could finally understand ‘BookJetty‘ and a face I …
I have a very good client, about two weeks ago, he messaged me using MSN Messenger:[nickname]: http://www.jamboree-invite.com/[nickname]: time 2 get funding!When I received the first message, I thought he sent to the wrong person, first ‘Jamboree’, is the word that I last heard in my high school, it is some kind of gathering held once in a while for the scouts …
Now we can talk and share information in BookJetty. Introducing two new features, i.e. the Shoutboxes and Send Message.Shoutbox I wanted an easy way where we all can talk and chat about a book. I thought about the ‘Comment’ feature, but I find it a bit too stiff, and it can get too long in a page. So shoutbox pops up immediately. It feels more relax to shout and …
If you are a foreigner, just like you, I have been living as a modern-age nomad since 1995. The day when I finished high school, the day when I stepped out from the comfort zone of my hometown, the day when I furthered my study. I knew that life is not going to be as easy as before. Freedom that used to be a shackle with its keys guarded by my parents were then passed to me, …
Thanks to SingGeo for spotting this. GoogleMap finally supports Singapore map, it is now up to our creativity to make full use of it. :)
It was about a year ago when I read a similar article by SYS-CON about the predictions in Internet technology in 2006. That was the time when I read about the prospect of Rails, AJAX, and Web 2.0. That aricle intriqued my curiousity. Looking back, a year has passed, I was glad that I’m jumped ship, and learned more about Rails and AJAX and Javascripts.This year’s …
When I planned to migrate BookJetty from Java to Ruby On Rails (RoR), I looked around for a ruby library to access Amazon E-commerce services (ECS).
The first library I found was Ruby/Amaz …
I know this is trivial, but if you are new to RoR, you may get confused, coz they all come in different shapes and sizes.

This morning, I found out that NLB online catalogue (Vistaweb) has enhanced its site to limit the number of connections per IP address or you can also say per PC if have no idea what IP address is.
Basically, if you create more than 5 sessions from the same IP, you will get this message below, and you are asked to reuse your last session. Note that a new session is created …

Just manage to grab a copy of The Art of Start by Guy Kawasaki from Bishan Library. (I can’t help but love this new library, a stone-throw away from my lunching place, modern design, disabled friendly, and the books are fresh, kudo to the National Library Board).
After a long tiring day, on my bed, light off, warmed with a soft bedside lamp. I read the a quote above the …
One way to use Module is to use it as a helper module, to store common methods to be shared across different classes.
By including the module in your class, you inherit its methods. Problem pops up, when on some cases you need to call the same method in a class mehod instead of an instance method. And you know you can’t call an instance method directly from a class …
After months of relentless work, finally my body rebelled and said, “Give me a break”. And it succumb itself to the attack of mild flu and fever. I fell sick yesterday.
Last nite I tugged in to bed early, after popping a pil. Thanks to my wife who massaged my head while I was on bed, and last nite was one of the rare good-and-peaceful sleep that I opportune to …
