It has 10mb storage space for backups and I have no idea about the pricing for premium accounts. I hope the free accounts stays “free” forever :) Click here for more info..

Essential Firefox Extensions

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

Here’s a list of my essential firefox extensions that I use for work or play.

  • ColorZilla - Advanced Eyedropper, ColorPicker, Page Zoomer and other colorful goodies.
  • MeasureIT - Draw out a ruler to get the pixel width and height of any elements on a webpage.
  • FireFTP - FireFTP is a free, secure, cross-platform FTP client for Mozilla Firefox which provides easy and intuitive access to FTP servers.
  • Deepest Sender - Deepest Sender is a client that will allow you to post to blogs from directly within Firefox. It is primarily a LiveJournal client, although it supports Blogger (Atom) and WordPress (metaWeblog) too, with support for more stuff to come. Note that the actual Deepest Sender website will always have the most up to date version.
  • IE Tab - This is a great tool for web developers, since you can easily see how your webpage displayed in IE with just one click and then switch back to Firefox.
  • Checky - Easy to use interface to many free and commercial Online Validation and Analysis Services. Validate and analyse HTML, XHTML, CSS, RDF, RSS, XML, WAI, Section 508, P3P, Hyperlinks, Metadata and many more. Adds a context and tools menu

Infinite Crisis Ends! 52 starts!

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

The seventh and final issue of DC Comics’ Infinite Crisis arrived last week and the acclaimed series finally ended another chapter in the DC universe. The ending was not the one I was expecting and I really believe that it could have been better. Let’s face it.. Issues 1-6 of Infinite Crisis literally blown my mind and made the inner comic-book-geek in me ache for more action every month. Issue 7 just didn’t give MUCH justice to what the first issues established and it seems that everything happened so fast like they were trying to fit all their ideas in that issue.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the last issue but I really really really really REALLY believe that it could have been better that’s why I would like to give thanks to Geoff Johns and the entire Infinite Crisis team for giving us a great story to read and for trying so hard to give explainations to the massive storyline that they created.. but really.. THE ENDING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER :P
Let’s just hope that 52 fills up the empty hole that Infinite Crisis 7 left to every comic book geek around the world….

CSS Reboot, May 2006

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Myhedspace.com is CSS Rebooted for the second time! The new design is the result of the last minute change that I made when I suddenly decided to create a new design. The first design that I planned to use for this CSS Reboot is a template I named ClassiCss. ClassiCss is an all gray template and I will release it as another open source template.

When you take a peek at my CSS Reboot’s stylesheet, you’ll notice that I was really in a hurry when I was designing it. It’s just another one of my “working” template where there’s a lot of of unnecessary css.. I just did everything to make the design work :)
My CSS Reboot is a basically just a new front page for my site where everyone can easily view my open souce templates, access links to my other stuffs and contact infos, a space for my recent blog entry and there’s even a spot for my flickr pics :)
My blog will still use my SimpliCss2 template because I really love it’s design :)
Here are links to some css reboot related stuffs:
