A very good website about colors in design February 11th, 2010 by admin

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/01/28/color-theory-for-designers-part-1-the-meaning-of-color/

Quoted from the link above:

Color in design is very subjective. What evokes one reaction in one person may evoke a very different reaction in somone else. Sometimes this is due to personal preference, and other times due to cultural background. Color theory is a science in itself. Studying how colors affect different people, either individually or as a group, is something some people build their careers on. And there’s a lot to it. Something as simple as changing the exact hue or saturation of a color can evoke a completely different feeling. Cultural differences mean that something that’s happy and uplifting in one country can be depressing in another.

HTML5 canvas test October 27th, 2009 by admin

It’s right below – but IE won’t be able to see it though…

canvas test

Source Code:


<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('example');
if (canvas.getContext){
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var lingrad = ctx.createLinearGradient(0, 0, 0, 100);
lingrad.addColorStop(0, '#00ABEB');
lingrad.addColorStop(0.75, '#fff');
lingrad.addColorStop(1, '#eee');
ctx.fillStyle = lingrad;
ctx.fillRect(20, 15, 460, 115);
ctx.lineWidth = 4;
ctx.strokeStyle = "#fff";
ctx.strokeRect(20, 15, 460, 115);

ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(75,75,50,0,Math.PI*2,true); // Outer circle
ctx.moveTo(110,75);
ctx.arc(75,75,35,0,Math.PI,false); // Mouth (clockwise)
ctx.moveTo(65,65);
ctx.arc(60,65,5,0,Math.PI*2,true); // Left eye
ctx.moveTo(95,65);
ctx.arc(90,65,5,0,Math.PI*2,true); // Right eye
ctx.strokeStyle = “rgba(0, 0, 200, 0.5)”;

var facegrad = ctx.createLinearGradient(0, 0, 0, 120);
facegrad.addColorStop(1, ‘#f30′);
facegrad.addColorStop(0.5, ‘#cd0′);
facegrad.addColorStop(0, ‘#69c’);

// ctx.fillStyle = “rgba(200, 80, 80, 0.8)”;
ctx.fillStyle = facegrad;
ctx.fill();
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();

ctx.lineJoin = ’round’;
ctx.lineCap = ’round’;

ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(200, 25);
ctx.lineTo(250,75);
ctx.lineWidth = 2;
ctx.strokeStyle = “#f00″;
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();

ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(250,75);
ctx.lineTo(200, 125);
ctx.lineWidth = 5;
ctx.strokeStyle = “#ddd”;
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();

ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(200, 125);
ctx.lineTo(200, 25);
ctx.lineWidth = 10;
ctx.strokeStyle = “rgba(0,0,0,0.6)”;
ctx.stroke();
ctx.closePath();
}
}
</script>
<canvas id=”example” width=”500″ height=”450″>

Kudos to mozilla dev center (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Canvas_tutorial) for the excellent tutorial and examples.

Adobe screen sharing October 15th, 2009 by admin

HAHA! it’s got the same problem as the app on mac!

This is what happens when u share with urself:

travel in time and space!

travel in time and space!

HAHA!

Alright, it’s still a decent product, and it’s free! I would definitely recommend it to any business user – just make sure you don’t show the dirty bits on your desktop, and don’t forget to turn it off before you go check youtube!

Opera 10 os x October 2nd, 2009 by admin

I am now writing on opera… speed seems alright, menu is quite responsive (better than safari/firefox).

Haven’t noticed any difference in Javascript performance, will keep testing…

安装了sun input,不错的东西呢! September 27th, 2009 by admin

网站在这里:http://blogs.sun.com/yongsun/entry/sunpinyin_for_mac_leopard_updated6

可惜的是作者离开sun了, 不过他继续会支持这个输入法, 现在连snow leopard都支持的很好, 之前用Fun Input Toy会卡的地方, 用这个完全不会卡,而且整句输入非常快, 自定词库好像也不错。

和FIT一样, 色彩字体等等都是可以自定的,相当flexible.

iTunes 9.0.1 is out September 27th, 2009 by admin

Go update! It fixed a lot of things, including the maximum button, which used to take you to the mini player mode, but broke in 9.0, now it’s again bringing you to the mini player mode :)

Most importantly, it’s pwnage-tool safe! Tested and all good!
