Miniajax.com- Directory of Coolest Ajax Scripts Ever!

March 4th, 2007 | 3 Comments | Posted in review, technology


Simply attracted to AJAX? Well, miniajax.com is the right place to find you preferable scripts. It has more than 20 scripts that can be used on you websites. Most of the scripts are public license so that you can use whenever you want.

For past few weeks, I just impress with the function of ajax, I don’ know how to coding, how to interpret the command, but I still want to implement Ajax inside my other webpages. So, as the first move, I try to follow the blogger-hacked tutorial and success installing the Ajax label reload(try to click the label on the right side of yours).

Well, about the miniajax.com, it contains Ajax Star Rating(demo version), Ajax Poller script, Roll-Your-Own-Ajax slideshow and ++. So, visit miniajax.com and enjoy the world of interactivity!!

Eventually, microsoft agree to resolve this situation by once again give the cd key to the unfortunate student. Quick solution, perhaps they may give the vista ultimate version to student..hehe..

New Template Take Place

February 28th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in personal, technology

Update: The AJAX label reload seems working..Anyone need help??..I can help u to install this widget. Free of Charge..hehe

To my dear readers, I’ve just update my layout for the conveniences of yours. Actually, I’ve attracted with some hack by the professional blogger such as AjaxCold and Blogger-Hacked. With ajax, I try to implement the Ajax Reload Label, but not very success, I still get confuse with Deepak instruction (the instruction was going up and down until I get fainted..haha).

Some of hacks that attracting me is the Digg button. I went to AjaxCold and implement the digg’s buttton. It’s run well and don’t ever x3 try to forget about digging my entries!!By the way, it’s the right for me to convert from old beta template to the new beta template in order to understand the ajax code(I still confuse with the new coding..I’m stunned)

Adi was talking to me yesterday, we try to create a full e-commerce script based on AJAX. Since the Ajax was recently get popular, I try to learn it by myself (now I’m learning VB) but still get blur with the function of the ajax. I would prefer to have somebody to teach me instead of reading line after line in the books. Well, I’ve Adi by my side, he’s a great programmer and most of the coding experience was learnt by himself.

P/s: I’ll going back to my hometown this weekend for my new car!!!!!
