Idag blev så dagen hvor hun for første gang havde en veninde med hjem. Det gik godt. Men børn i den alder er ikke sådan rigtig istand til at lege sammen – de leger nærmest ved siden af hinanden. Anita er enebarn og havde da også et par gange lidt svært ved at skulle dele domaine med en veninde.

Jeg sætter ikke et billede på, da jeg ikke først har aftalt det med venindens forældre – men lad mig så prøve at beskrive billedet. Man ser to børn, en mørk pige med mørkt hår og en lys pige med helt lyst hår. De sidder på gulvet og fylder munden med Buggles! Man kunne sætte sig på en stol eller i sengen – mine knæ ville i hvert fald have foretrukket det! Men piger på 3 år har jo ingen problemer i den retning – og så er gulvet jo så dejlig nært. De sidder og kigger på en tegnefilm og er meget optaget af det (og så lige at spise Buggles!).

Det var altså en helt ny ting for far, mor og Anita – en ny æra er begyndt. Nu går far så bare og venter på at hun tager hendes 15 årige teenage veninder med hjem! Nej, spøg til side, det var rart at opleve – og nu er det så snart Anitas tur til at besøge en veninde! Stort!

As with all other programs some of the features need to be twisted to create the result you want. For instance if you need text to be placed on a graphic element without the text turning into graphics. The file here shows and instructs you how to achieve this.

If you do not already have a copy of XWD, why not try the 30 days free trial version? (even if the product is priced at a ridiculous cheap price of £ 39!).

The product has a great forum where you can discuss the product, read how-to, see what other are achieving and so on. It is placed a talkgraphics.com.

Here is the example: avoidTextBeingConvertedToGraphics.web

Inspiring quotes

I think that I own the people who made me find this “dipty” site, the line of persons and sites are like this:

1. My wife – she accepted an invitation to visit
2. Her collegue Pia and her husbond
3. Hans – who mentioned
4. The danish TV show “Spam“, who had a story about Dipity

There you are – the information path leading me to find Dipty! Oh, I almost forgot – You should also remember to visit ffffound.com/

So is this a dream?
Well to start with I love javascript! It’s so flexible and fits very well for the internet. With the many very cool APIs appearing nowadays – like JQuery, prototype and other – you would be able to use the same terms, methodes and datastructures on both client- as well as server-side! Google and Yahoo are building serious javascript free APIs which you simply use on the server rather than on the browser.

I just watched a video showing an example where a RSS feed is fetched as XML, transformed using XSLT and added to the DOM using various javascript APIs. Server side that is!

You would be able to manipulate the DOM using javascript syntax and APIs before the page is returned to the browser.

But how do I get it?
Well you can get locally by downloading Aptana framework, which is also very powerfull in general – even if you do not want to play around with serverside javascript.

It is mentioned that it has its own JAXER server, not sure if it means that you will be able to host it only some places… time will show! For now I keep on dreaming!
