No idea if its just another conspiracy theory. Interesting stuff, worth a look.

Firefox 3 Alpha 2

Feb 10, 2007 Author: haobam | Filed under: News

Mozilla announces the release of the Firefox 3 codenamed Gran Paradiso. This in no way represents a finished product.

There are still major issues. I haven’t had any stability problems, but there are bad memory leaks. Gran Paradiso, as Firefox 3 is code named, launches using about 33mb of RAM; after ten minutes of browsing that number jumped to 100mb and after a couple of hours it was close to 400mb — and that’s with no extensions installed.

Gran Paradiso Alpha 2 is being made available for testing purposes only, and is intended for web application developers and testing community. Please use at your own discretion.

HDRI

Victoria Memorial
Originally uploaded by haobam.

This is a little experiment with HDRI (High dynamic range imaging) achieved using Photoshop. I’d used this old picture of Victoria Memorial, Kolkata, India, which I shot with a Nikon analog SLR on a visit to the wonderful city.

I’ve simulated multi-exposure shot through duplicating the same image, treating with different levels to suit the various areas. The shot originally shot on very low light, I haven’t concentrated much on the trees, in the foreground.

Ticket to Space

Jan 18, 2007 Author: haobam | Filed under: News

Every person, at some point of a time, as a kid, dreamed of becoming an astronaut. Well I ended being a Web designer is another story ;)

Some people like Anousheh travel to space to realize that dream. I followed every entry of her space blog while she was up in space. But then she, reportedly, paid huge amount to book her seat.

Now the good news even lesser mortal, who can shell out a cool $200,000, will be able to experience space, with the new Virgin Galactic - THE FUTURE IS NOW: Booking Open.

And if you heard renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking is planning a ride to space, the news might just be true.

As for me I’d to wait till the next celestial rendezvous and hit a jackpot. Wish me luck. And after all, a 2 hr trip is not my liking. Yuk! the grape is definitely sour today ;)

Flash Switcher

Jan 3, 2007 Author: haobam | Filed under: Design

Great plug in for Firefox, to switch between different version of Flash players. A must tool for any web developer.

I face some initial hiccup but after a while its smooth sailing. Sometime, it takes a little while when changing Flash player versions. And it normally work after restarting the browser. So please use it at your own discretion.
