Yesterday, I was required to create some Javascript functionalities using Prototype. It’s nothing out of ordinary, I was to create a page with 3 radio buttons and 1 select, depending on which button selected – the select will be enabled/disabled.

I have been reading Steve Krug’s Don’t Make Think – Common Sense Approach Usability and I can’t help to be a little bit critical on websites that I encountered (including the ones that I’ve built).
When I was attempting to download IE8 today, I’ve got into the download page and it took me few seconds to [...]

Well, I took the plunge, I registered for webDU 2009 (early bird registration ends today). Since starting working in ColdFusion, webDU is one of conferences that I’d love to come at least once in my life.
I am excited about it. Also there is going to be another ColdFusion related conference in Melbourne later this year: [...]

Ah my new treasured toys (Acer X193W):

Replacing my faithful (and very bulky) LG monitor of 5 years.

Note to self: found out today that Todd Sharp has open sourced his application called iLearn. Also found out this sort of application is called Learning Management System.
