Loving Ajax

I fell in love with Ajax. Whew! my last post regarding CMS and web development was June 2008 and yet i have not added anything new. Been really busy in learning new things and working in an 8am-5pm job.

Since I started to used CakePHP framework i learned some basic and advance features of Cakephp. Now, i've already tried to create a directory page rendered in AJAX. By the way, Cakephp is using Prototype.js and Scriptaculous which is one of the most popular AJAX framework/Web 2.0 javascript.

Once you started to use AJAX based webpage, you would like to put it all to your website. Since the evolution of AJAX, developers enjoyed it but without being noticed by users.

Anyway, to users who haven't noticed about AJAX effects here's some sample features:
  • Displaying contents without even forwarding to the next page.
  • Web-based chat features like Google Talk and Yahoo Mail Chat
  • Ability to drag and drop photos and other objects.
There's a lot more AJAX features that we're enjoying nowadays and once i have a web project i'll put some AJAX stuff too.

Anyway, this is just a few thoughts about AJAX and I'll be posting more about this topic once i mastered it. Though i'm using it on CakePHP framework, i'll explore it on non-framework based PHP so i can differentiate it too.

So, till next blogging..

Taken 2 yrs ago..They get tired too.


Photo taken two years ago around August 25,2006.

Here's a picture of the boy that was so tired that he didn't even noticed that he was so asleep from waiting for people that will go out from the bar to ask for food, money or anything.

I was drunk the time that i took this picture. Maybe he's drunk too hehe..

I believed that this boy just couldn't make it through the night to keep on waiting for graces. But take note, he's just taking a nap, as soon as he's awake again he will continue from what he does. Just share him a penny he will stop bothering you (Though he will ask from your companion too hehe) Anyway, this only shows that poverty in Philippines is not just in Metro Cities but also in small cities.


Well, poverty isn't just in the Philippines but it's a global concern. Can't say anything else bout this picture.
