anyone wondering where is almondmendoza.com (my other site). The DNS of almondmendoza had some problem right now and hostmonster are doing all they could (i hope so) to maintain point back to their server. sorry for the inconvenience it caused.
When i read the news i couldn’t help but laugh, man will IE8 be the next zune? Where MS products don’t communcate properly. On the list of items is hotmail, another MS product, this does mean these sites didn’t follow the standard? I don’t know but its really funny and the fact that this is beta 2 not alpha release makes it more funny. You can read the rest of the story here.
Another experiment on html5 on monmonja labs, this time its the canvas tag. I had a great time doing the experiment. check it out on the labs.
I found a formula for making 2 images proportional on a forum the other day.
The formula is: H1 / W1 = H2 / W2
Example:
if (image1.height > image1.width) {
newWidth = (image1.width / image1.height) * preferredheight;
image1.height = preferredheight;
image1.width = newWidth;
}else {
newHeight = ((image1.height / image1.width) * preferredWidth);
image1.width = preferredWidth;
image2.height = newHeight;
}

Off from technology to music. Philmusic is back and so are the Eraserheads. They remain to be may favorite band all this years and its so unfair that i can’t see their reunion. How i wish i’m in the Philippines so that i may even have a higher chance to see their concert.
