Final version with tagline under the logo - Kudos PA!

I want to officially thank Pierre-Alexandre Audet (aka Mr. E or PA) for helping with the final version. He’s a busy friend and he still took some of his precious time for me. Thank you PA!

As usual, feel free to comment on it, I’ll make sure PA hear from you.

Icons and there usage

by on Mar.25, 2010, under Laboratory

Internet is a fast paced tool, that’s a given.

Sometime, we have little problems finding informations quickly and accurately. This is why most website uses icons in order for us to recognize a tool (and its function) simply by seeing its icons.

So a problem we sometime stumble upon, is how to get nice looking icons, quickly. We aren’t all designers and there we cannot always take time to create one every time we need.IconFinder Logo

This is why I’m introducing you to IconFinder.net, a website that aims in helping you finding nice icons.

Ajax Loading Icons

by on Mar.23, 2010, under Laboratory

You know, every once in a while, someone come up with something simple, yet useful.

That’s how I would describe this little tool that can be found at http://www.ajaxload.info/

AjaxLoadLogo

You only have to do a few things before downloading your “loading gif”:

  1. The type of loading icon you want;
  2. The background color and;
  3. the foreground color.

Talk about simple! Perhaps, the only thing I’m thinking that could be added is a speed modifier…

I wanted to share my thought on that.

Perhaps you never heard of that, and if you have, you might simply be wondering what will they EVER do? “Six Revisions” wrote a nice piece of article on that subject… and since it’s Monday, I’ll give you two for the same price!

You want my picture?

Geez, I sure take some time before translating my “About” page in English! Bah, don’t worry, I’ll do it… someday!

While you guys are waiting for it, you might wanna check out my “About” page in French. Why, you ask? Because I put a photo on it! Yup! My little face is now on my website… took me lotta courage though. A friend of mine red the page in French and told me: “You know what is missing? Your picture…”. I laughed… but the kid was right (thanks Jérémy).
