Gnome-Do and Docky, or the user oriented interface

You know how you have some automated behaviour when you are working on a computer: how to open a file, how to launch any tool, etc... So you know how Microsoft Windows contribute to open Computer to people, but also how it contributes to format "User" usage about User interface and behaviour !

So, in the Linux world, during years, the goal was to bring to Linux user a User Interface oriented free Operating System. And during the few 2 or 3 last years, big evolution are drop in the pipe of Gnome evolution. First tries were gnome-shell and gnome-zeitgheist. But these tools are not matue for People.

Gnome Shell, The new Gnome Desktop approach

So , Gnome Do and Docky are some of these beautiful tools design for easy life ! Gnome Do will enable you to launch any tools, docs, contacts just with one key shortcut and keying the first letters of the action you want to do! Docky is another MacOSX Dock Icon clone. But a well integrated one for the Gnome Desktop.

So launching an application or accessing one of the last docuemnt you've just write have never been so easy !

Gnome Do

Launching an application :

Mail to one of your contact:

And just retreiving one of your Google Docs:

Anyway, you are able to configure any interaction between Gnome-DO and your desktop enviroment, thanks to numerous plugins already existing which are able to connect to all the main applications you use everyday.

Docky

More as usual in our desktop, the docked toolbar at bottom screen is one of the most popular way to start an application. Docky is one of the most integrated to Gnome with a lot of customization for geeks :)

Very easy to use and configure, just drag and drop icon of applications you want to be able to include in the dock bar.

Multiple skin exists for the Dock bar appearance, so just choose the one that's feat better to your own desire.

And start apps !

Gnome Docky - The Gnome Desktop Dock Bar by excellence !

And a lot of docklets (greffons in french) are available to enhanced your user experience, adding Weather, GMail state icon, Time, Battery life, Processor performance, and so on ...

Also exists Plugins (greffons in french language), to connect Docky to other application like liferay, Gajim, Rythmbox, etc...

Docklets preferences tab :

Plugins preferences tab :

So now, just Start Apps and enjoy ;)

HTML5+CSS3 - start of the first experience !

Discovering HTML5 and CSS3, I'm on the road of creating a small PHP framework (already seen here) to produce easily some WebSite in a fast and stardard respect way.

Here is the first flight for my new framework, still buggy and have some weird behaviour, I'm to happy to show you the first visual picture of such piece of code :)

Yes, the special effects on the mouse hover event are only CSS3 WebKit/Moz implemented version. But it seems "wavy" ;)

To be able to watch such demo, you need Last versions of Firefox (3.6.x or minefield version) and Google Chrome (Chromium nightly build or last Chrome)

Hope to be able to produce soon better code with better effects !

Firefox, IndexedDB and versioning

http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/06/comparing-indexeddb-and-webdatabase/

This the source of one of the most interresting information about Web future: Database browser integration.

Here is explain and demonstrate usage of embedded database, and how to manage version changing base on a "version" field, integrated in the database instance and manage by the database engine.

The most demonstrative code sample (extract from the Post) :

...

if (db.version != "1") { db.changeVersion(

db.version, "1", function(tx) {

// User's first visit. Initialize database.

var tables = [ { name: "kids", columns: ["id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY", "name TEXT"]},

{ name: "candy", columns: ["id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY", "name TEXT"]},

{ name: "candySales", columns: ["kidId INTEGER", "candyId INTEGER", "date TEXT"]} ];

for (var index = 0; index < tables.length; index++) {

var table = tables[index];

tx.executeSql("CREATE TABLE " + table.name + "(" + table.columns.join(", ") + ");");

}

}, null, function() {

loadData(db); });

}

...

Sample 1 - Database initialization based on database versioning

This code rock !
