I can’t remember what I searched for in the CI’s (Codeigniter) forum, but I the result let me to a BlueFlame project (which turns out to be Kohana Framework, a fork of CI). I haven’t gone into Kohana yet, maybe later this weekend. So anyway, I went to the Kohana link and found an interesting video, How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People (And You Can Too).

I mentioned about it in #myoss on freenode, and the result. Yeay, +1 reputation for me (D&D style). I got a bad rep (-5 rep) because I was hanging around in the channel and doing nothing "serious" like replicating database for scalable means, whatever it is. Oh yeah, and I mentioned a spoiler for heroes FINALE (and I thought everyone have watched it), my bad

There’s a myoss meetup coming up. It is far, it’s held on Thursday and at 7.30pm. Being a traditional kind of guy, I cant make it at that time, since its tradition(myoss meetup), best not change things the way there are eh? You know these buses, sometime they come early sometime late. Traveling to KL will take me 2 hour min at 6pm or 5pm with all the traffic. Hrm, I’ll have to pass, even though I’m interested in the discussion  Wavelet.biz - Leverage On Open Source Technology to Win Projects by Vincent Lee.

I hope, i’m not out of context here, but I stumbled upon an article, interesting nonetheless, Why Software Vendors should consider Open Source, while reading up on 10 things to consider when choosing an Ajax Framework.

Oh yeah, as I was working on some project at work, I wanted to cancel an animation (or stop an animation, whichever you prefer to call it) after it started (the animation duration is 10 seconds) in jQuery. I searched through the discussion and forums. Most points to a bug report. After digging a little bit after that, I was lead to jQuery’s 1.2 roadmap page. There it is, on the list, stop animation. I did a workaround, instead of piling up the item and fade it all out, I just put each item and fade each one.

Ah.. all in a days work. Tomorrow an applicant for junior programmer will show up. I’m eager to see what the result is.

I must retreat to my inner sanctum. Farewell.

*note: dashing not producing enough interesting picture, must find something else.

1. Dude, no -5 rep for heroes spoiler… Any spoilers are usually bad for people, and if you hadn’t spoilt it, I’m sure someone else might’ve…

   Relax, and welcome to #myoss
