Experiment

The best way to learn a new language or a new framework is to find an idea and implement it. So I’m doing for Qt on S60. So I decided to implement a dummy browser that has some smart/attractive/peculiar/interesting/funny bits. QDetroBro Because I’m lazy to package and attach code, and because is always good the evolution of a project from the ground-up, I decided to post it on my GitHub account. You can find it at: http://github.com/detronizator/QDetroBro/tree/master. ...

WOW! I mean… WOW! Look at what people are doing using the power of HTML5 + a very fast Javascript Engine! Those experiments are collected here: Chrome Experiments (note the subtitle: “Not your mother’s JavaScript” - LOL). Bear in mind: this is not only because of Chrome itself. This is the power of HTML5 Canvas element, plus, of couse, the very (very) fast V8 Javascript engine). And indeed, I ran them on my Safari 4 beta without a glitch: the Javascript engine, SquirrelFish Extreme (SFX) is pretty good too. ...

Today, 10th of September 2008, the final, complete, clock and anti-clock wise test of the Large Hadron Collider was a major success. The LHCis working and ready to start to “crash protons”… and probably blow up your (our all) mind ;) . 4.5K-1.9K: brrrrrrr Some interesting links (that are updated on a frequency of 15/30 minutes): LHC Cooldown Status - It shows the temperatures in the different sectors. While they were testing it was on an average of 1.9k!!! O_o ...

Some scientists working on the LHC at the Cern of Geneva had a cool idea to make people aware of “what” they are going to do. On the 10th of September there will be the First Beam (more info on the official website/blog), and I like the way they make sure people understand it’s NOT the end of the World. My personal answer to them is: Hey man, this shit is good! ;) ...
