53 CSS-Techniques You Couldn’t Live Without

24 01 2007

CSS is important. And it is being used more and more often. Cascading Style Sheets offer many advantages you don’t have in table-layouts – and first of all a strict separation between layout, or design of the page, and the information, presented on the page. Thus the design of pages can be easily changed, just replacing a css-file with another one. Isn’t it great? Well, actually, it is.

So goes the SmashingMagazine page on the same… A well-selected set of CSS goodies, neatly packaged in a single webpage. This is enuf to get ur CSS love cycle started ;)

Guru – the review

23 01 2007

Manirathnam is one of India’s top directors, no doubt. But the last time I saw his movie, the forgettable Yuva, I came out half-brain dead. The problem with him, as is with the other leading directors like RGV, is that they make stories they feel good, and don’t care for the audience. Thankfully, this time, his opinions matched ours.

Software for Starving Students

7 01 2007

Software for Starving Students has released a 2007 edition of its collection of freeware and open-source software.

The collection includes well-known gems like 7-Zip, Audacity, Blender, and OpenOffice.org–all stuff you can easily get yourself, but here the legwork is done for you. Plus, it comes with an easy-to-use installer. The idea behind the project is to give students (or anyone else) a single CD containing all the software they’ll need to be productive.

Just one caveat: The download is a disc image file (DMG for Mac users, ISO for Windows), so you need to know how to burn that image to a CD. It’s pretty much a drag-and-drop affair for Mac users, but Windows users will need a program like Nero or Active ISO Burner, which is freeware. Software for Starving Students 2007.01 is free; it’s available for Windows and Mac.
