CSS3 Transitions to replace JavaScript animations
Until recently whenever I had to do the simplest animation I always had to use JavaScript code.
If you're using jQuery it's pretty easy to make simple effects.
The most known ones would probably be slideDown() and slideUp().
Custom animation is also pretty easy with jQuery:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
$('div.red').hover(function() { $('div.red').animate({ width: '+=50', height: '+=50' }, 200) }, function() { $('div.red').animate({ width: '-=50', height: '-=50' }, 200) });

This has many uses, especially for Web Apps.Posted in TechnologySwitching to Linux has never been easier
In the past 10 years (or so), I've been taking old
computers (desktops, laptops), and putting Linux on them.
Mainly because Microsoft's philosophy with Windows is a very one size fits all approach, and also because Windows had a general bad reputation when it comes to old machines (security holes, anyone?).
As for friends & family, it was also very difficult for me to convince them that if they'll switch, they could get 2+ more years out of their machines.Posted in TechnologyNexus 5 is out!
