Meet Raphel
Ah, remember the days when we had to write programs to draw things and figure out the memory space for… Well, now that Flash is out of style, meet Raphael.
From their website:
Raphaël is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library.
Raphaël [ˈrafēəl] uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. This means every graphical object you create is also a DOM object, so you can attach JavaScript event handlers or modify them later. Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy.
Raphaël currently supports Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.
Here’s a short screencast of the demonstration I recorded.

CoffeeScript
I thought it was a crazy talk when I first heard that JavaScript will be the next Assembly Language. Well, I learned today that we’re one step closer with CoffeeScript.
The documentation is so good that I won’t even go into details here. Just click on the linky and find out for yourself. Basically it compiles into clean JavaScript.
Please don’t compare this to SASS and HAML crap!

Pomodoro Technique
As long as I can remember, even when I was a kid, I always used 50/10 technique. If you don’t know what that is, it’s focusing intensely and working on a task for 50 minutes and take 10 minute break. I did this unintentionally and when found the “official” technique, it basically confirmed my belief that this is what made me very effective.
I then found another technique, Pomodoro. It’s basically the same as the technique I mentioned, but it’s broken down to 25 minutes and 5 minute break. I was shocked to find that it’s highly effective, and it’s even more enjoyable.
To learn about this, you can read the free book at http://www.pomodorotechnique.com . Listed in posts are the resources I found helpful.

Software
- On my Mac, I use Pomodoro Desktop and always have it on when my computer starts. It’s simple and free.
- On Linux, I just use timer applet and have three presets; pomodoro, short break, and long break. Because I use 64-bit version, I found too many issues with any AIR based apps.
