Kudos to the guy or gal who added the “Remember last page viewed” feature to Apple’s Preview program. Every time, I open a PDF document to read, Apple Preview brings me back to the page I was last on. And every time, it brings me back to the page I was last on, I think about the person who brought up the idea, whomever you are, and I just smile. ^_^

Aww how cute, and an option to disable it.

A List of jQuery plugins that has proven useful overtime.

Galleria

http://devkick.com/lab/galleria/

Galleria (demo) is a javascript image gallery written in jQuery. It loads the images one by one from an unordered list and displays thumbnails when each image is loaded. It will create thumbnails for you if you choose so, scaled or unscaled, centered and cropped inside a fixed thumbnail box defined by CSS.

 

hoverIntent

http://cherne.net/brian/resources/jquery.hoverIntent.html

hoverIntent (demo) is a plug-in that attempts to determine the user’s intent… like a crystal ball, only with mouse movement! It works like (and was derived from) jQuery’s built-in hover. However, instead of immediately calling the onMouseOver function, it waits until the user’s mouse slows down enough before making the call.

 

Fancybox

http://fancy.klade.lv/

FancyBox is a simple and fancy alternative to lightbox with support for single images, grouped images, inline content, and iFramed content. In grouped images, an indicator of which image you were viewing when closing the zoom view puts this plug-in above alternative lightbox.

In Barcelona lies a restaurant on Passeig de Joan de Borbó, 12 named l’arròs. In their menu, there’s a chocolate dessert worthy of all praises. They named it Crispy Chocolate Bomb! with an exclamation mark. So after finishing one, I start telling the waiter how crazy awesome it was with all the variations in taste and textures, he just smile back and look at me as if I was a newbie in a role playing game and said “we called it Crispy Chocolate Bomb!” for a reason.

It is that good. if we were chatting and you happen to go on about chocolate and how wonderful they are and then go into great details about your experiences and passion and you fail to mention about your experience with a Crispy Chocolate Bomb!; honestly in my head, I am hearing “blah blah blah … blah blah blah …” and will look at you as if you were a nooob! ^_^

Meanwhile, near home we hold our own in chocolate.

Recchiuti Confections

http://www.recchiuti.com/

Recchiuti Confections is perhaps one of Bay Area’s best when it comes to chocolate. Located in San Francisco Ferry Building shop #30, their handmade chocolates and confections will keeps your taste buds sharp and your senses alive. Their seasonal collections is my personal favorite, whatever the occasion may be. Time and time again, I find myself returning to Recchiuti as the chocolate of choice for family and friends.

According to Apple, the minimum system requirements for Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 is a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor; 512MB of memory; and 9GB of available disk space.

On PowerPC G4 systems with a processor upgrade card, the processor requirement becomes a roadblock when installing Leopard. This is because systems with a processor upgrade card usually need software to tell the Operating System the correct CPU speed; most often, the CPU speed shows up as 0MHz.

To install Leopard on these system, we need to let the systems know about the CPU speed before installation starts. We can do this using Open Firmware. Before starting the installation process, boot into Open Firmware and manually set the CPU speed. Afterward, start the installer and begin the installation process. Note that whenever the system reboot, the CPU speed will resets to the default system value (0MHz or the speed of your processors). On system with more than one processor, remember to set all the processors speed above the minimum 867MHz requirement.
