The So-called LIFE

For the past two weeks, I’ve been busy in the office studying Magnolia (Java-based CMS). While the admin UI is impressive with all it’s Ajax goodies, creating a new template is cumbersome and not designer-friendly at all. But I’m still positive I can learn the templating. There’s just some issue on the installed software so I can’t fully figure it out. Next week, I’ll have all the help I can get with Kat and Carlos working at night.

At home, I’m busy also on designing a layout for some prospect clients. I’m glad, we’re able to close one deal. I’m hoping to get Marc Nelson also as my client. I’ve proposed two layouts, hope to get some feedback soon. I created Paula Taylor’s fan site so adding Marc would be really great.

I’m also updating the url of Paula’s fan club site. I thought changing the url will be easy but there are bunch of contents that need updating. The good thing here, I was able to figure out mySql. I learned to update the table using it’s UI. The only problem now is to move all the images to the new directory so the images on the site will show up. And change all the url on the content manually.

Next week, I think I’ll be more busy since I’ll start working with the new project. I’m glad I’m busy, having more project means more money. (recession ba kamo, ano yun?! hehe)

1. YouTube, Picasa, Flickr, and Yelp previews
   Instead of just links, see previews of photos, videos, and reviews right in your email.
2. Undo send
   Oops, hit “Send” too soon? Give yourself a grace period of a few seconds to cancel sending, then edit your message before sending again.
3. Offline
   Make Gmail work even when you’re not connected to the internet.
4. View as slideshow
   Now you can open PowerPoint attachments as slideshows, without having to download anything. Just click “View as slideshow” next to the .ppt attachment you want to preview. Since you can open .doc and .xls attachments with Google Docs and Spreadsheets too, there’s no need to leave your web browser to check out your Gmail attachments.
5. Increased attachment limit– 20 MB!
   Now you can start sharing more of those home videos, large presentations and files you just can’t seem to get smaller. We have doubled the allowable attachment size to 20 MB to make your Gmail space even more useful.
