Aside from the great round up of 30 AJAX tutorials – really a must-read for anyone interested in deploying AJAX – which I mentioned not long ago, here is a neat site which helps you to quickly create your very own AJAX loader icon!

Was in the supermarket earlier.
As usual, I went in without a pre-planned shopping list, unlike some people. Went browsing in the bathroom items section and suddenly recalled that I needed to replenish my shower cream. Well, being the adventurous type of guy I am, I decided to try a brand – still a well-known one here, mind you – I have not tried before. After deliberating for a while, I settled on “Revitalising” from Shokubutsu; actually it was a toss up between “Revitalising”, “Soothing” and “Moisturising”.
Lo and behold, by the time I got back and started to store everything in the cupboards, there it was: another unopened bottle of “Revitalising” from Shokubutsu! 😯 ❓ 😳
Everything in the world has a hidden meaning…
Men, animals, trees, stars, they are all hieroglyphics.
When you see them you do not understand them.
You think they are really men, animals, trees, stars.
It is only years later that you understand.Nikos Kazantzakis, 1883-1957

For those of us dealing with Information Technology daily, the web is an indispensable source of information. However, apart from Gmail, many people may be unaware the availability of many Web 2.0 applications – some free, others using a subscription model – which basically will allow us to work from anywhere as long as we have access to a web browser. Well, here is a good list of Office 2.0 setup.
Of the ones listed, I regularly use
- del.icio.us for managing bookmarks
- Gmail and RoundCube webmail clients
- Google Docs and Spreadsheet
- weblogs like WordPress and Joomla
- and trying out SugarCRM
During my previous brief foray into GTD, I had in fact started reading David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” and tried out quite a few applications, both on- and off-line, to try to find a wonder tool that can help to get my life back into tip-top shape. Sadly, the book currently remains unfinished and I have also stopped using the one application – ThinkingRock – which I settled on at the end of my search.
However, for one reason or other, I decided to give it another try today. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of quality of free applications out there that have sprung up in the mean time.
