MediaLabs.Co

Behind the Scenes

Design: MediaLabs.Co design was created by Giuseppe Zizza our Lead Designer who recently joined CSSJockey team and creating awesome designs for our personal and client projects.

Code: This website is coded in HTML5, CSS and jQuery and I’ve used the following plugins:
For the Welcome section of this website I’ve used jqFancyTransitions jQuery plugin created by Ivan Lazarevic and for Our Network section I’ve used jQuery Cycle Plugin. The scroll function is done with the jQuery code I shared in my earlier post, That’s it!

I would appreciate your feedback on the design and functioning of the website..

My Day Today
Sunday Aug 22nd, 2010

Weekends are good to complete your own projects, learn new things or atleast, spend some time reading a book or your RSS Feed.

It was quite a productive day, Started working on my new venture’s (NetChillies) Branding which is coming along really nice.

Here’s the logo we’ve designed for the NetChillies.com, do let me know what you think about it?

MediaLabs.Co

MediaLabs.Co design was ready last week however I didn’t get a chance to code it due to work load. The whole week I was waiting for some free time so I could complete this website.

Trying my best to take MediaLabs.Co live this weekend so do check it out on Monday, I will introduce you all to my team members as well.

Pep-up your Mac! Free mac applications for almost everything!

If you are following me on Twitter (CSSJockey or MohitAneja)  or Facebook, you must have heard that I recently switched from PC to MAC. “FINALLY” ;)

So far my experience is really good however I had to learn new shortcuts and get familiar with this awesome gadget.

Quick Tip!

If you recently switched from PC to Mac the first thing you will hate is the mouse speed. For me it was a major turn off, however being an explorer, I asked my best friend “Google” and I got the following code which you can write in the Terminal window to increase or decrease the mouse speed.

Here’s the code for the same:

To check the current settings type the following in terminal window

defaults read -g com.apple.mouse.scaling

To overwrite the default settings type the following command and replace “your_mouse_speed” with a numeric value. Higher the number,  faster the speed!

defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling your_mouse_speed

I’ve set mine to 33 as I like my mouse to move around this big screen really fast. However you can set the number as per your comfort level.

Free Applications Resources for MAC

I’ve been using a lot of applications on windows to be more productive and organized so I starting hunting for MAC Applications to make myself at home.

I found a lot of websites where you can get applications for your MAC however the following are a few where you will find FREE software for you MAC and make it a power machine ;)

These websites might not be appealing to your eyes and I really hate their designs, but they have really good stuff, so check it out ;)
