How do you make jQuery ui tabs works with Sammy.js?

I know this topic has been raised before and you can find many workable solution. Some solution does not works with content via ajax and only can support one ui tabs. This solution is to overcome that limitation.

First you must bind select event to ui tabs.

$('#your_tabs_id').tabs({select: function(ev, ui) { location.href = "#/ui.tabs/" + $(this).attr("id") + "/" + ui.index;                  return true;                    }});

With this way, if you select any tab, it will redirect you to url #/ui.tabs/your_tabs_id/your_tabs_currentindex. Now, define routes in your sammy application to handle this url.

var app = $.sammy(function() {              this.get("#/ui.tabs/:id/:index", function(context){ $(document.getElementById(this.params["id"])).tabs("select",parseInt(this.params["index"],10)); }); });

I define routes with :id and :index to capture tabs id and tabs current index into params[“id”] and params[“index”] respectively. So, with this information, we know which tabs index to select. You can also implement this technique on accordion. The concept is similar.

Software for Women:Virtual Makeover and Hairstyler Application

I'm sure some women like this software so I decided to share it. It is called jKiwi. By using one photo, jKiwi was specifically designed for helping to instantly find out how you would look in hundreds of haircuts, try different lip colors or eye contact lenses and shadows without paying much attention to the software and instead concentrate on your new look.
I haven't tried it yet and never plan to install it. Don't ask me for review.

For more info, go to  jKiwi.com

Java 1.5 or 1.6 with Coldfusion 7

Trying to upgrade coldfusion jvm directly to java 1.5 or 1.6 will cause "Unsupported major.minor version" and/or "CFCServlet must be initialized". These are the steps I used to get ColdFusion MX7 on windows with embedded JRun working with the Sun JDK 1.5. Haven't tried it on linux. Probably will doing it soon.

  1. Download jrun updater 7 http://www.adobe.com/support/jrun/updaters.html
  2. Stop coldfusion service.
  3. Install jrun updater on runtime folder of your coldfusion MX7. 
  4. Download and install JDK 1.5 or 1.6.
  5. Open jvm.config file found in the runtime\bin folder.
  6. Modify java.home to point to your JDK folder (for example, java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_11)
  7. Open web.xml file found in the wwwroot\WEB-INF folder.
  8. Now the tricky part, change MessageBrokerServlet load order to other than 1. In my case, I change it to 4.
    • Example: from <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> to <load-on-startup>4</load-on-startup>
  9. Restart your coldfusion server.
Now you can use your favorite java library with Coldfusion 7. Use it at your own risk.

*Step 8 will prevent "CFCServlet must be initialized" error from appearing. Why this step fixed that error?. I'm not really sure. If you know why, please share the info with me.

Less.js Will Obsolete CSS

LESS has been implemented in JavaScript. For those who never heard of LESS, it is a css preprocessor which can make your css "programmable". 

Here’s a basic example of LESS code to give you an idea of what it does:

@brand-color: #3879BD;  #header { a { color: @brand-color; &:hover { color: #000; } } }

In this example, brand-color is declared globally. In normal css, you have to specify it at every css selector where  to make changes of the brand-color, you have to modify it at each css selector which can be tedious if you use it many times. Since this example use LESS, you just have to modify @brand-color at the first line. For more example please visit LESS Official Website or fadeyev.net.

P.S.S. Less.js browser script currently won’t work if you’re using Chrome and the path to your page starts with “file:///” due to a known Chrome issue.

Soluto – Anti Frustration Software

When you first get your desktop, it normally start very fast. Then, you start to install various programs and suddenly it takes a very long time just to start the windows.

You uninstall one program which you may think the prime suspect that causing this, restart your desktop and the same problem still happen. Frustrated, you uninstall another program, restart your desktop and it still happen. You do it again and again until there is no program left to uninstall and finally your desktop startup smoothly.

Don't ever do it again like this. Use Soluto, Anti-Frustation software. Previously beta and can be downloaded only through invitation. It is now can be downloaded directly from their website.

Soluto will tell you time taken for each program to start and give you ability to either pause it or delay it during startup. I've been using soluto for about a week and managed to bring down my laptop startup time from 3 minutes to only 1 minutes.
