Adobe Photoshop is one of the most commonly used tool by designers in all fields such as web, printing, animation and UI design. Working with the Photoshop PSD files as source for design elements can help you get a quicker and more effective start. A PSD file is an image file created by Adobe Photoshop that may include image layers, adjustment layers, layer masks, annotation notes, file information, keywords, and other Photoshop-specific elements. The PSD files contain all the information and flexibility for being changed you could ask for.

While PSD files are saved in a proprietary format, they can be opened directly with Apple Preview, which is included with Mac OS X. They can be also opened by the media programs included with Windows 7 if the correct codec, such as the Ardfry PSD codec, is installed. These programs include Windows 7 Photo Viewer, Windows 7 Media Center, and Windows Media Player.

Ostatnio wiele mówi się o bazach danych NoSQL (NotOnlySQL). Jako, że nie zauważyłem nic w polskim światku PHP na ten temat, stwierdziłem, że pora wypełnić tę lukę i zagłębić się w temat.

Chyba mam pewnego rodzaju uraz. Jeśli chodzi o dane to lubię je ostatecznie przechowywać w tablicy i w ten sposób się do nich odwoływać. Na szczęście PHP daje możliwość definiowania klas, których obiekty w pewnym ograniczonym stopniu będą zachowywać się jak tradycyjne tablice.
W tym wpisie postaram się przybliżyć w jaki sposób osiągnąć taką udawaną tablicę, oraz z jakimi ograniczeniami to się wiąże.

I smoked for 4 years but I left and I felt great. After a break of almost five years, I’ve started smoking again for six months without any good reason. Monday I make 2 weeks since I left again. For me, always it was very easy to quit smoking though I really was a smoker (one pack per day). Those ads are really awesome but I think that few people will quit smoking after seeing those anti smoking advertisements. I’m sure you know very well what I will say. It is proven that anti-smoking campaigns make some people quit but the real problem is not that is a small number but that those campaigns make many people start smoking, more than that who quits.

All over the Web, you’ll find tutorials explaining how to use the setTimeout() method in JavaScript to set up a timer and using clearTimeout() to cancel that timer. Unfortunately, it’s a little more difficult to find information about pausing and resuming those timers.

You could, of course, cancel the timer and start it all over again; which is probably fine if you’re using timers of short durations. However, if you’ve got a 30 second timer or something, you probably don’t want it to start all over again if someone pauses it at the 29-second mark.

There is a way to pause and resume those timers, though. In order to do so, you need to set a variable to capture the timestamp when the timer begins. Then, when you pause the timer, you need to figure out how much time has passed between the start of the timer and now. Once you resume the timer, you’ll simply pass the amount of time that was left to the new timer.

Last week I debuted a popular blog post titled Create Spinning, Fading Icons with CSS3 and MooTools. The post detailed how you could leverage CSS3's transformations and opacity properties, as well as the magical MooTools JavaScript framework, to create spinning, fading, animated icons. Due to popular request, I've duplicated the effect with another popular JavaScript toolkit: jQuery.

I got a question from Mike Winstanley on How do I publish my WordPress Post automatically on Facebook Fan page. This is something which I forget to write earlier, though I have already written about “Connecting Twitter account with Useful Applications“.

I did some research to find out how the integration of Facebook with WordPress and vice versa works, or — in other words — how you can present your WordPress blog on Facebook or use the functionality of Facebook on your WordPress-powered blog. Both of these can be achieved with a set of WordPress plug-ins, a couple of which I’ll present here in detail. Even on Facebook Fan page there is an option for this.
