So it seems that even big old mighty Google makes mistakes on its UI. Take a look at this screenshoot from google calendar, you’ll see that the “All Day” lines are not aligned with the rest on the week view. Of course I had to do a full screen on a 1680 by 1050 resolution ...

2011

There are many user controls in ASP.NET for a progress bar, but not so many for a progress bar that shows you how many steps are finished and how many are left to be completed. I call that a Serial Progress Bar, hence the title of the post. So since I had to go ahead ...

Sick and tired of politicians big talk and undelivered promises? Well they only get away with it because their statements are not properly documented, thus its not easy to verify exactly what someone says, when they say it, concerning what subject e.t.c. In the spirit of the latest events in Cyprus, where everyone seems to resist on ...

Ok one more about the 11/07/2011 explosion at Zigi Cyprus. Somehow the discussion has changed and the new subject is now Left VS Right wing. How did we let this happen? Why is everyone fixated on blaming the other? And what does the coup have to do with the huge hole in Zigi? We have already ...

Συγχωρέστε τα Ελληνικά μου καθώς όπως φαίνεται από το παρών άρθρο τα φιλολογικά δεν τα έχω. Ακόμα και εγώ όμως με τα λίγα Ελληνικά μου, όταν ακούω άτομα να μιλούν σε μέσα μαζικής ενημέρωσης, δεν μπορώ παρά μόνο να εκνευρίζομαι. Να αρχίσω με την ποσότητα. Σε μια εποχή όπου η ενημέρωση μεταδίδεται τόσο γρήγορα και τόσο μαζικά, είναι απίστευτο το πόσο λίγη πληροφορία μεταδίδεται στους ...

Google’s social initiative google+, gave the opportunity to change their main web applications (search, gmail, calendar, google +) UI considering the new trends. Even though they are still experimenting they seem to be on the right track. They are combining cleanness, simplicity and flexibility. Google say their design principles are based on focus, elasticity and effortlessness. I will try ...

I cannot be untouched by what has happened today at Mari. The amount of irresponsibility that fills every part of our society has lead to yet another destruction. A place filled with educated scientists, with an enormous government workforce, has managed to come up with a plan to actually store high explosive under the blazing cypriot sun. Surprise surprise … they exploded. In a place where everyone ...
