As I mentioned before I will try some new technology for developing my RIA trafficJam.
Did some research on Flex and start building, Flex is really easy and nice looking.
Check out these Components Explorer, It pointed me in the right direction.

Today I did some research for sharing my calendar with my colleagues.
After some research I found the perfect FREE tool >> http://www.syncmycal.com/
We all have Outlook and the most of us, have a gmail account and thus google Calendar.
So we want to combine all these calendars, so that we don’t have update all these calendars seperatly.
SyncMyCal is perfect for this, It provides the opportunity to access our gmail Calendar online and update them in Outlook and gmail Calendar.
Because we use gmail Calendar and we have the possibility to share our Calendar at work.
We were thinking about installing an Microsoft Exchange server, but this solution is much more flexible and less expensive (you can use the SyncMyCal lite for FREE) .

I started a new personal web project, called trafficJam
>> http://trafficjam.trinix.be
It’s going to be a fairly simple web application, in which I can keep track of my time of departure and time of arriving and some extra info like destination, ….
I’m currently at Work in Brussel, Belgium capital, and I spent everday in big traffic-jams.
This obviously annoys me that’s why I want to keep track on how much personal time I lose this way.
To develop this little app, I wanted to use 2 techniques.
I will be using the EXTJS (www.extjs.com) from Jack Slockum. This is a really solid extensive javascript framework complete with nice themes. The uniqueness of this framework is that it forms an layer on different known frameworks which you can choose from. Currently it offers:
An other RIA manner I want to try, is using FLEX for building the web app.
I started with ExtJS and my first experience was that ExtJS is really extensive and fairly complete. But I also pretty heavy to load in a browser (long waiting time) and because it’s so big, it’s difficult to start with it. I also noticed that I will be missing the ease of tweaking little lay-out changes. But I guess this first impression is normal for a new framework and new manner of developing.
I will keep you updated with my findings and development of trafficJam.

Virtual Users With Postfix, PostfixAdmin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS
Centos, Linux 5 Comments »A while ago I wrote an extensive ‘how to’ on installing Postfix, PostfixAmdin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAv on a Centos (redhat like) Linux OS. I tried to make the howto as complete as possible. I noticed how hard it was to find a good howto on setting up a mail server with a nice web interface, on a Centos OS. So after some testing and experimenting I decided to write my own howto.
I posted the whole howto on howtoforge.com.

Howtoforge.com is a website with the best howto’s on the internet,I find it an honor to finally contribute my little piece back to this large community.

Very nifty how-to on lay-outing a file input element with CSS/DOM.
Came in handy when developing my RSS feed reader.
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/inputfile.html
Extra: another approach
This script will let you use an image for the ‘Browse…’ button and style the textbox. It also clears the path name from both the file and text tags so they stay in synch. I also have it so the image path is displayed on submit so you can see it is working.
<html>
<head>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function setPath(f) {
document.getElementById(’mypath’).value = f;
}
function browse() {
document.getElementById(’realFile’).click()
}
function clearIt(f) {
f.value=”;
var d = document.getElementById(’browser’);
var olddiv = document.getElementById(’realFile’);
var new_element = document.createElement( ‘input’ );
new_element.type = ‘file’;
new_element.id=’RealFile’;
new_element.onchange = function() {document.getElementById(’mypath’).value = document.getElementById(’realFile’).value;};
d.replaceChild( new_element,olddiv );
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form onsubmit=”alert(document.getElementById(’realFile’).value);r eturn false;”>
<input type=”text” style=”width=300px;border:solid 1px #0000FF” id=”mypath” onfocus=”clearIt(this)”>
<a href=#” onclick=”browse()”><img src=”d.gif” border=0></a>
<div id=”browser” style=”display: none”>
<input type=”file” id=”realFile” onchange=”setPath(this.value)”><p>
</div>
<input type=”submit” >
</form>
</body>
</html>
