CSS rollover buttons

CSS rollover buttons

CSS rollover buttons

There are many different button-rollover tutorials available on the web, some JavaScript and some CSS, but none of the ones I've seen yet match that of the Trifecta button. Let's start with what makes the CSS rollover Trifecta button different from the many other rollovers you may have already seen.

Trifecta is a betting term in which the bettor must pick the first three winners in the correct sequence - this CSS button has three key features that separate it from the rest and make it a winner. Let's have a look:

A List Apart: Articles: CSS Design: Mo? Betta Rollovers

A List Apart: Articles: CSS Design: Mo? Betta Rollovers

The rollover effect ? simple interaction that assists usability. If your design is consistent, a user will only have to experience the effect once to understand what it does throughout your entire site, which makes my HCI guy giggle with delight.

For years we?ve been preloading our on?state images to assist the browser in its rollover presentation. Preloading increases the weight of the initial download, but adds to usability by decreasing the wait time for an on?state image to appear. Decreases, but may not eliminate. Even when preloaded, some browsers present momentary pauses prior to rendering the image.

The Crazy Idea of Using Blogs for Business [MarketingStudies.net]

The Crazy Idea of Using Blogs for Business [MarketingStudies.net]

"Crazy idea, using blogs for marketing. In fact, how many of you were surprised when businesses went towards corporate blogs? Well, the simple logic of these investments is now getting clearer day by day.

Of course blogs are very much like the traditional "mouth to mouth marketing", but faster and easier to reach, available 24 hours per day, giving thought-leaders even more power to influence people around the world.

But there's more to it than this. As comScore Networks just reported this week, bloggers have a wonderful audience. There are about 50 million of them in America representing about 30 percent of the total U.S. Internet population. And they are, in comparison to the average Internet user, significantly more likely to live in wealthier households, be younger and connect to the Web on high-speed connections. Pretty impressive. Blog readers also visit nearly twice as many websites as the Internet average, and they are much more likely to shop online. So, do not wonder why any more, use them to your advantage."

Dia a drawing program

Dia is designed to be much like the commercial Windows program 'Visio'. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple circuits. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the shape.

The tyranny of the diploma
Brigid McMenamin, Forbes Magazine, 12.28.98

NEW YORK - AT 16 XAVIER DELACOUR dropped out of Albany Academy, a private day school. He went to work hawking Egghead software out of a store in Albany, N.Y. for $6 an hour. Explains Delacour: "My head was set more towards getting my career set up." A quick learner, he was soon writing software code for a local car dealer. Delacour was only 17 when he was hired by a Marlborough, Mass.-based startup, Attune, LLC, where he's helping design a gadget that writes original music and plays it on the Internet in CD quality. Attune plans to license the gadgets to Web sites, which will sell them at $90 each.

At an age when most kids enter college, with their earning years still well in the future, Delacour, a soft-spoken teen, has his own apartment and should earn $50,000 next year, plus a 10% share of the company's profits.

Bill Gates did go to college, but for only three years. He dropped out of Harvard to devote himself full time to computer work. The time he saved from college -- and additional years spared from grad school -- gave Gates a head start in building what was to become the world's greatest fortune. It's not inconceivable that had he gone for a Ph.D., someone else today would be the world's richest person.

WWWEDU press release

WWWEDU press release

Introducing WWWEDU, a moderated list dedicated to the use of the World Wide Web in education.

WWWEDU is a moderated list sponsored by Andy Carvin at the Benton Foundation. The purpose of WWWEDU is to offer educators, webmasters and policy makers a continuous discussion on the potential of World-Wide Web use in education. The Web is increasingly becoming an ideal environment for teaching students of all ages. A well-conceived Web site can inspire creativity and interactivity, yet it is still too new of an environment for us to completely grasp its potential. What are teachers and students doing with the Web today? How can the structure of the Web positively affect learning and assessment? What else can be done to expand the Web's role in education? And how can we encourage non-Web using schools and educators to take advantage of this new tool? WWWEDU will hopefully provide a forum for these questions and others as they come up

The Daily Telegraph | Bird flu drug panic

The Daily Telegraph | Bird flu drug panic

Dr Gathey said patients were swarming into her (Melbourne) Eastern Suburbs practice claiming they were travelling to Asia or had been placed on a waiting list for the drug by a chemist and wanted a script.



She said she was annoyed some of the demand seemed to be generated by pharmacists advertising they had a waiting list for the drug.

"Patients and pharmacists are colluding; they are dictating to doctors what we should be prescribing," Dr Gathey said.

What You Should and Shouldn't Worry About: Putting Avian Flu in Perspective: Weekend - Yahoo! Finance

The worry isn't today's bird flu but what it might become tomorrow. We already know this flu is deadly, killing about half the people who catch it. The fear is that it will become more contagious, which could happen if it mutates or combines with a human virus. The risk is especially worrisome as infected birds migrate to Africa. There people live in close quarters with animals and a large percentage of the population has HIV, possibly making them more vulnerable. All of this increases the risk that bird flu will combine with a human virus, and once that happens, the disease will likely spread quickly.

Peer Resources: Mentor Question Contest

Peer Resources: Mentor Question Contest

In ancient Africa, prior to the time of the Greek and Roman invasions, when a child was born, each village shared the responsibility for raising and educating the child into the customs and traditions associated with that village.
This practice continues today and has become the rallying mantra: "It takes a village to raise a child."
But a more detailed examination of this ancient practice revealed that while the child had contact with every member of the village, there was always one older child (not a family member) who would be assigned the responsibility to ask questions and listen carefully to the younger child.
In Swahili (one of the oldest languages on our planet), this questioning person was called, "Habari gani menta" which, in English, means, the person who asks "What's happening?"

ICT in Education Blog : PowerPoint to a large group

ICT in Education Blog : PowerPoint to a large group

Tips when presenting PowerPoints to a large audience:



* Prepare your presentation well and have a run through
* Produce more content than you need (but make sure that there are a number of places in your presentation where you can end – but the presentation will still make sense).
* Find out what sort of presentation facilities are available (in particular find out the size of the screen – this will dictate the size of your text)
* Make sure you know which slide will come next (I sometimes place bits of clip art in some slides to jog my memory)
* Engage with your audience (audiences don’t just like being spoken to) Ask questions like, ‘who has studied population so far?’ ‘Put your hand up if you have studied Development and Health…….that’s interesting about 50% of you, thank you for helping me with that.’
* Make sure your audience are attentive (I find it useful to look down the middle row or along the side of an audience. For every person who is off task assume that everyone else in the row is the same. Change the speed of your presentation, the slant, the tone of your voice, move around more to attract attention or anything that you feel will re-capture the imagination of your audience.
* Ask for questions and provide a mechanism so that people can get their questions answered at a later date (for example an email address).
* Thank your audience
* Always have a back up plan!

The data death spiral
November 1st, 2005

Whenever data is misused as the only means for making decisions, a death spiral begins. The lust for data overwhelms all sensibilities. Cowardly decision makers howl in glee at reams of unnecessary data, while bright people sit handcuffed to ugly slidedecks and mediocre ideas. Decision makers forget their brains and wait for numbers, fueling an organizational addiction to unnecessary and distracting data.

Tag-aware RSS feeds

Brian Del Vecchio wrote a long entry about about splicing a RSS feed by tag and how aggregator developers can create more tag-aware applications. It is possible within the RSS specification, but most feed authors have overlooked how to properly declare tags within their feeds. Flickr does not include categories with its RSS 2.0 feeds and Del.icio.us feeds use Dublin Core subject to provide space-separated tags.

Sort help for feed aggregators

As our lists of feeds grow it becomes more difficult to sort through the clutter that greets us as we fire up our news aggregators. The list of publishers of supported feeds continues to grow, as does the appetite for consumption. The next important step in the feed aggregation space will be how you tame the data available within the application. I propose sorting services that would allow developers to offer their own reclassification of a list of feeds or their content.

The PHP Script

The final task is to create the script that will display the user's chosen RSS feeds. This script, titled myrss.php, is surprisingly simple, consisting of just two main components:

* Login: The user will need to log in to view his customized feeds. This is accomplished by using a simple form and some logic that will confirm the supplied e-mail address and password.
* RSS Aggregation and Delivery: Assuming a valid login (or valid session; see next paragraph), we'll use the Magpie RSS Parser to display the user's chosen RSS feeds.

To save users the hassle of having to repeatedly log in every time they need an RSS "fix," I make use of PHP's session-handling feature. Once successfully logged in, the user's unique identifier is stored as a session variable for later retrieval. Keep in mind that the storage duration is entirely dependent upon how your PHP installation's session functionality is configured.

Why not continue using HTTP ?

Two reasons (explained below):

* http: cannot define actions.
* http: cannot launch aggregator software from your browser software to perform subscription to a feed.

The main difference with http: URL is that feed: URI are to be processed by feed reader/aggregator software, while http: URL are usually processed by web browser software.

It's a Flat World, After All (Long article)

At one point, summing up the implications of all this, Nilekani uttered a phrase that rang in my ear. He said to me, ''Tom, the playing field is being leveled.'' He meant that countries like India were now able to compete equally for global knowledge work as never before -- and that America had better get ready for this. As I left the Infosys campus that evening and bounced along the potholed road back to Bangalore, I kept chewing on that phrase: ''The playing field is being leveled.''

''What Nandan is saying,'' I thought, ''is that the playing field is being flattened. Flattened? Flattened? My God, he's telling me the world is flat!
