Forgot to bring Photoshop with you to SXSW? Don’t fear – Pixoh is here.
Pixoh is an AJAX (phweet!) application that lets you easily resize, crope, rotate images and save them to various image formats. I managed to crop and save one of my Flickr images in a matter of seconds.
There are so many things I’d like to do and learn. And so little time! Hopefully by tonight, I’ll complete a big photo gallery as promised for a friend. Over this weekend, I need to pack for my forthcoming business trip. I also need to get my presentations and tutorials sorted out. And come next…
I tried to e-file today, only to find myself waiting for 27 images to load. They didn’t. The largest image was 700×800 pixels in size, and there was no ALT text indicating what each of the images stood for. There was a text-based nav bar, but some links were broken or led to pages with…
So, my laptop’s died. I have finally come to terms with the fact that it no longer is able to run Windows, and hangs at exactly 31% during ScanDisk in DOS, refusing to continue. It cites a long filename to be the problem, and proceeds to hang. Obviously if Scandisk was run in Windows there…

Sure, I’m being anal, and apart from that the course has been pretty educational, but I think we should be careful with our use of terms, especially when…
It’s disturbing to read that a relatively obscure web design firm has gone and patented an invention involving rich media apps like AJAX. What’s also disturbing is how they were even awarded the patent in the first place. This would definitely hamper the development of more innovative web services.
