Web 2.0 Color generator

A great tool and resource. I have tried with one design that I did recently and the color scheme generated was pretty good when fully used.

Working from home

I believe that everybody have already asked about how is working from home?

Well, I have been working from home in the last 2 months and I got say, there is a ton of advantages and some very little disadvantages as well.

Let’s make a list:

Good things:

• You are home
• You can work in your pj’s, bermudas, no need to brush hair or even look good
• coffee is always good and available
• if things go wrong you can curse and nobody will complain (unless your wife is at home)

Necessary things:

• Organization
• Broadband connection
• DIY (do it yourself) personality
• Self learning
• communication skills

Not so good things, but not bad:

• You will probably never use the “I’m sick” excuse
• Time is not always at your side. Goals need to be reached and if you are late, you will need to expend more time
• Takes time to get used to the “I’m not in a office to clock-in clock-out” thing (which enforce the item above).

That’s basically it. If you keep yourself organized, goal oriented and place all you effort to make the projects true, working from home can be a bliss.

Javascript LIbrary Detector

I was scooping out a blog from a friend of mine today, Smooka Blog, and I found this interesting post from a Firefox plugin for detecting Javascript libraries. It’s useful in many ways since you can learn if your project have correctly loaded the library or what library does the site that you are visiting have.

Anyway, cool post, check it out: http://www.smooka.com/blog/2009/03/26/javascript-library-detector/#more-52

Good resource

Before creating the Mcloide WordPress blog, I used to write with a couple of friends at www.tiredrobot.com. There are a ton of stuff over there that we have been keeping for our own records and to share with friends and fellow developers. Check it out.

VeoProject – Web Based Project Management

I was reading KillerStartUps today and I came across this project. The VeoProject is a web based project management tool and, by the tour, seems pretty cool.
They have a very basic free edition, but if you want full power, you will need to purchase a subscription.
Anyway, check it out: http://www.veoproject.com
