• Reduce Image File Size Without Any Loss of Quality

• punypng is a free tool that dramatically reduces page load times by reducing the file size of an image without any loss of quality. punypng uses several web optimization techniques to reduce the file sizes of your images. It first analyzes the content of your image and figures out the best image format to use.

  Depending on the file, punypng will automatically convert your GIF into a PNG format and then further compress that. For JPEGs, sometimes it’s better to make it a PNG, and other times it’s better to keep it as JPEG and use jpeg-tran to optimize it. punypng makes all those decisions for you and ensures the best possible results.

• Retrieves and Aggregates Profiles from Across the Web

• Most of us create identities across the web without much conscious thought. We fill in profiles, upload photos, videos, reviews, and bookmarks. Although this information is often public, it’s fragmented into the silos of individual websites.

  Glenn Jones built a JavaScript library that can help you do just that. Ident Engine discovers and retrieves distributed identities and profiles from across the web. Simply enter your profile URLs, you would be shocked by the level of detail it found out about you. You can also find out how Ident Engine works on A List Apart: Discovering Magic as well.

• Ident Engine: A JavaScript Library To Fetch Social Network Profiles/Activities

• Ident Engine is an open source JavaScript library that can bring together the footprints every user leaves on various social networks.

  The library supports more than 70 sites, including all the popular ones like Twitter, Flickr, Facebook or Youtube.

  

  From Glenn Jones, the creator of the library:

  Wouldn’t it be a little magical if, when you signed up for a new site, the site said something like, “We notice you have a profile photo on Flickr and Twitter, would you like to use one of those or upload a new one?”

  Ident Engine makes this totally possible.

  It analyzes the relations between various networks using the rel="me" tags & Social Graph API’s "lookup" method.

  And, to parse the profiles Yahoo’s YQL or a .Net parser, UfXtract is used.

  More technical details can be found at "Discovering Magic", an article by Glenn Jones, and you can always check the demos to see the power of Ident Engine.

• CSS framework

• xCSS is a CSS framework that makes developing complex style structures easier within an object-oriented workflow.

  Using xCSS can save a lot of development time by:

  • using variables
  • having a intuitive overview of the overall CSS structure
  • re-using existing style cascades
  • & more..

  

  xCSS requires PHP 5 to run & can be configured very quickly by inserting few lines to the webpages + the stylesheet.

  The framework is lightweight, can seamlessly integrate into any existing workflow & well-documented which lowers the learning curve.

  Also, besides minimizing the CSS overhead, it still keeps (X)HTML attributes semantic.

• Better HTML5 & CSS3 Usage By Detecting Browsers Capabilities With Modernizr

• Similar to the IE6 situation, when using HTML5/CSS3 in our websites, it is a good idea to offer non-problematic outputs to web users with older/non-standard browsers.

  Modernizr is a JavaScript library that uses feature detection techniques to determine whether or not the current browser is capable of CSS3 and HTML5 features like rgba(), border-radius, CSS Transitions & more.

  

  It enables you to write pseudo-IF/ELSE statements in your CSS &, if wanted, it is possible to wirite conditional statements in JavaScript with the help of a "Modernizr JavaScript object" created.

  Also, Modernizr adds support for styling HTML 5 elements. This allows you to use more semantic, forward-looking elements such as <section>, <header> and <dialog> without having to worry about them not working in Internet Explorer.

• Flash Framework For Real-Time, Multi-User Applications.: Hemlock

• Hemlock is an open-source Flash framework which offers the richness of Flash & the scalability of XMPP.

  It eases the creation of real-time & multi-user applications like games, collaboration and more.

• Be Aware Conficker is Dangerous Worm

• his April 1st will be not funny at all for security experts. We are at D-1 and until today nobody knows what this worm so called Conficker C can really do ! It can damage your computer, your data, steal private information, none knows ! All we know until today that at D-Day all infected computers will be under control of a master computer located somewhere across the web.

  Conficker which have been discovered the first time on November 21, 2008, seems to be the worst infection since the SQL Slammer. Estimates of the number of computers infected range from almost 9 million PCs to 15 million computers. On March 27, 2009, the British Director of Parliamentary ICT released a (leaked) memo stating that the House of Commons computer network has been infected with the virus and called for all people who have access the network to use caution and not to connect any unauthorized equipment to the network.[

  Conficker is clever in the way it hides its tracks because it uses an enormous number of URLs to communicate with HQ. The first version of Conficker used just 250 addresses each day -- which security researchers and ICANN simply bought and/or disabled -- but Conficker C will up the ante to 50,000 addresses a day when it goes active, a number which simply can't be tracked and disabled by hand.

  You can read more about this worm on wikipedia, CNN.
