Give PNG a chance
Tuesday, December 15th, 2009Give PNG a chance* Stoyan Stefanov
This is a screencapture of playing the thing in WebKit (Safari). The video is done in pure HTML, JavaScript and CSS with no images. The fancy new WebKit animation additions to CSS make it look like a flash a bit. Instead of images, I used HTML entities.

Hextatus – Your Facebook Status in Hex
Friday, November 27th, 2009A few months ago, I had developed a silly Facebook application that I never mentioned here. Hextatus it is.
http://apps.facebook.com/hextatus/
Hextatus (hex-ta-tus) displays your status in hexadecimal form. So you may just look geekier or cooler or nerder !
You can also post hex encoded Notes to your Wall.
Plain Text Status -> Hexadecimal Status
Plain Text Note -> Hexadecimal Note
Be warned, you may have a lot of your friends with rolling-eyes !
iMia for iPhone is Out, and It is AWESOME
Sunday, August 10th, 2008Another cool gadget from Brilaps just hit the wires.
iMia is a web application focused on bringing a standard iPhone web interface to the MiaCMS, Mambo, and Joomla! content management systems. Yes, the iPhone does have a full web browser that is capable of displaying any site, so it is possible to use these content management systems without iMia. However, the experience is often less than appealing since users must constantly zoom in, zoom out, pinch to expand and contract, etc. As with most web sites and/or applications, these content management systems were coded with the desktop browser in mind. This is were iMia comes in…
iMia brings a simple web interface to the MiaCMS, Mambo, and Joomla! content management systems for iPhone users. The application is designed in accordance with the recommended iPhone interface design guidelines laid out by Apple. iMia makes use of the iui project’s fabulous efforts in this area.

MiaCMS Interview on OpenSourceCMS.com
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008As the MiaCMS Team, we recently gave an interview at OpenSourceCMS.com.
Here is a tiny excerpt from the interview;
Chanh:
7) There is a plethora of open source CMS’s available out “there” for people to choose. Why should people consider MiaCMS?MiaCMS team:
Chad: The MiaCMS team is focused on producing an simple, yet powerful content management system. The team is focused on stability, security, innovation, web standards, performance, and our users. We are community focused and take pride in our product. MiaCMS is not a toy, an experiment, or a hobby. It is a robust CMS which can be used for sites of all types and sizes. Furthermore, MiaCMS has a very powerful extension system which can be used to develop custom extensions to enable functionality not found in the core by default.Cem: One of the good things that we inherited from Mambo is the mindset of “simplicity”. Can we make it simpler, yet better! We are working on it.

If you’re in the quest for an Open Source CMS, and don’t want to download/install a bunch of them till you decide, I would surely recommend that you visit OpenSourceCMS.com, play with the demos that they refresh hourly.
