Another great and hot news from Google: Street Views. Wonder what’s that? Do not. It’s exactly as google said: A street view.
Not to be left behind, Google announced their own bit of mapping news at O’Reilly’s Where 2.0 conference today: the debut of ‘Street View’ maps. The new maps are essentially a 360 panoramic image taken from a specific point on the street

The Street View maps are developed in partnership with Immersive Media, which according to the O’Reilly Radar blog is “a company that has an eleven lens camera capable of taking full, high-res video while driving along city streets.” What that means is that these Street View maps, because they are extracted from video shot while driving, are not just static images at random points around the city. They can be advanced fluidly down the street.

Hei, acesta e primul meu articol scris in limba romana… si eu care credeam ca voi scrie doar in engleza, ca noh… Cum am ajuns aici? Simplu… am dat de-un post in blogul lui Orlando Nicoara, care m-a facut sa zambesc si sa caut in arhiva mailurilor mele ceva anume, (il gasiti cand cititi tot).

Ce mi-a provocat saltul asta mental, daca ii pot zice asa :”si ca sa raman in regula jocului mi-as dori niste bombonele cip cip, cele mici in cutie cilindrica, de plastic, cei care au prins vremurile de dinainte de 89 stiu despre ce vorbesc, cip-cip-urile, pufarinele si mentosanele au fost dulciurile de baza ale copilariei …”

Ce vremuri dom’e, ce vremuri…
Sa purcedem… de aici incepe mesajul cu pricina:
Nascuti in perioada anilor ‘80 ( eu mi’s din 78 iar mesajul l-am primit in 2006;))

Aceasta este o scrisoare nostalgica, adresata celor are fac parte din generatia NOASTRA, GENERATIA X. Nascuti in perioada anilor 80, vedem acum in anul 2006 cum casa parintilor nostri este de 50 de ori mai scumpa decat atunci cand au cumparat-o ei, si realizam ca noi o sa platim pentru casele noastre in jur de 50 de ani.
Nu avem amintiri despre primii pasi pe luna, nici despre razboaie sangeroase, dar ne pricepem la istorie si la politica mai mult decat cred batranii, care bombane in spatele nostru ca noi nu stim nimic”. Suntem ultima generatie care a jucat `scunsea, Castel, Ratele si Vanatorii, Tara tara vrem ostasi, Prinsea, Sticluta cu otrava, Pac Pac, Hotii si vardistii, ultimii care au strigat Un doi trei la perete stai”, ultimii care au folosit telefoanele cu fise, dar primii care ne-am jucat pe jocurile video (remember Mario?) si primii care am vazut desene animate color.

The Internet it’s full of surprises. Today i discovered another one. And It’s called Pligg. So i decided to give a short review.
What’s That Pligg? In a short way of saying, it’s a CMS (content management system) based to host directories, articles, and give ratings (vote) for that itema.
What’s so interesting on it? it’s a fancy alternative to Digg, and have a great coder community in the back. Pligg forum seems to be pretty active. Lot of suggestion for Pligg development, features, lot of tips and people eager to have their own digg system…
So… give a try. For me, they sound so good, and i think, in time, i might jump in the development. Who know?

Ah, forgot something. Pligg is already on version 9.5 beta.
I installed for myself, and … i must say that’s a hot tool.
Why? It allow members to have their own adsenses (earning cash for reading their own article!)
It is a great tool to import your articles straight from Digg!
And.. many more.
If you wanna test it, just register at http://www.digg.lejer.ro/ and set your profile and articles.
You’ll surely enjoy!

As i promised below, changing my wordpress template should be celebrate with a great article. And here it is:
Cheat sheets for you.
What’s that? A simple A4 page, that contains all (or almost all) important properties for various programmings.
So, here we go: There’s a list of cheat sheets for HTML, Regexp, Microformat, World of Warcraft:), Ruby on Rails, ASP/VBScript, HTML Entities, Javascript, Mysql, mod_rewrite, CSS, PHP, RGB colours!
All bundled in a package by me, and downloaded from ILoveJackDaniels.
Thanks Dave Child for that great collection!
Btw, go and check his resource category, really worth to read it.
All working sheets files

Updated: A new file was added into sheets archive: Sql Sheet file (Thanks!)

Yeah, time come to enhance a bit my own blog look. So, i choose one of the free ‘widget ready’ templates, and i start overiding, changes and setup.
There’s a lot to do when you change your template.
And, guess what? i’m also updated my wordpress to latest version (2.2). Should i say that i got some ‘must code to fix’ from that update, but’s nothing that i can’t handle.
And.. yup, the new layout looks much better that the previous one.
Now’s time to inaugurate it with some new articles, no? and of course, some more features in.
