Hey! I'm having a survey, wanna fill it?
It's an interesting thing to see how Google is working on its Chrome OS, in an OpenSource fashion, letting everyone know where they are going and how all this will/may look like. As a UI nerd I find it absolutely lovely to be able to sneak a peek at what's coming next, and have techy details on it, such as hexadecimal values and gradient stops...
Hop, je viens de payer des nouveaux habits à Ébruiter (le blog qui parle de musique à ceux qui ont des oreilles) qui ne se plaisait plus dans son premier ensemble... Grid system, bien sûr. Toujours WordPress, avec un thème maison (merci Boks et Greg) et des hacks par-ci par-là.
Et puisque finalement j'aime bien le concept, je vais essayer de reprendre l'habitude de poster des trucs. Ça va être super.
Chope le flux, poto !
I wanted to try Flex 4 with a "real life" project so I wrote this little thing. Rough draft.
The app will allow you to monitor files changes: select a text file and you'll be prompted when it's updated. Basic. By the way, did I say "rough draft" before?
Everything in it is OpenSource, from the Illustrator files to the MXML and CSS stuff, so play with it! For those who only want the .air, here it is. › Continue reading...
Introducing Boks, my latest and most ambitious AIR app to this day!
Do you design web pages? Do you write HTML and CSS? Ever heard about the Grid System and Blueprint CSS? Thought it was a pain to implement? Think again, fool! › Continue reading...
A new project is online! It's called Kwot, and it allows you to share and store your favorite quotes.
The UI is quite minimalistic, with focus on simplicity. Navigate through quotes with your mouse wheel, your keyboard's left and right arrow or the mini timeline at the bottom. Add a quote by clicking on the plus button at the bottom right hand corner. If you don't pick any color they'll be automatically chosen via a magic algorithm! Another magic algorithm will rotate your quote in 3D space. But don't worry you will preview that in real-time, ha!
I might add user (login) support, language tagging, an RSS feed and stuff like that but don't expect that too soon, holidays are coming!
If you don't have the Flash plugin or if you visit the site on an iPhone the site will look quite different but everything will remain!
I'm home, sick, so I've had time to do something I should have done earlier: add an Apple Touch icon to the site. So here's what it looks like!
Despite what the official docs say, I've followed Playground Blues' advice. So my apple-touch-icon.png is 158x158 pixels.
Geeky post? True.
Un billet en Français, pour une fois.
L'idée est simple : j'écoute beaucoup de musique et j'aime la nouveauté ; je connais des gens dans le même cas ; en parler c'est bien, l'archiver quelque part c'est mieux !
Voilà donc "Ébruiter" : un petit blog entre-nous, sans prétention, pour partager nos points de vues sur nos écoutes respectives. Probablement sans intérêt pour plein de monde mais on s'en fout, on est des dingues.
Nicholas et moi avons ouvert la danse. Alex, Rox et Renaud, faîtes chauffer !
As you probably know, MobileMe (by Apple) is online, and for you UI design freaks here's food! The URL might change so I stored it...
The file is a huge PNG file (32×6042) with UI element chops. Enjoy a (remastered) preview:
Easy and quick upgrade. Enjoying the new admin UI right now...
Quick kit here. A simple way to drop a nice shadow such as the one you can see at the Central Florida Summit (for example).
Go ahead, get the file! (Adobe Illustrator CS2)
To suit your needs you may have to edit the Transform and Gaussian blur settings on the rectangle's 2 fills. Or even the opacity.
