December 26th, 2006Brilliant shot. I love the details captured so well out here… A different “alt” text might help. “From the wheel of creation” or something like that, perhaps?
Comment on “ONE BEDROOM FLAT”- BY AN INDIAN SOFTWARE ENGINEER..- A Bitter Reality by anitha
November 10th, 2006Dear Chamarthi,your story is very much a reality,though simple and direct it’s the fact.It reflects the lifestyle of more than 70% Indians.We spend most of our life earning money thinking it’s everything and by the time we realize it’s nothing we would have come to the end of our life journey.This implies to both, who stay in india and also who migrate out hoping to earn more.
Experiments with Light
November 3rd, 2006Yesterday there was a black out in our area. It was pouring and my laptop’s battery ran out..as I was sitting in the dark with a candle I thought of some pictures and here are the results.

Flora at Lalbaugh Botanical Garden
October 30th, 2006This weekend I was at Lalbaugh, the largest Botanical garden in Bangalore.
A slight drizzle and heavy over casted sky followed me everywhere. Here are a few shots I managed to take.

Highlight Images on mouse-over using Opacity
October 18th, 2006
Sometimes you might want to blur (reduce the opacity) an image on default and bring it back to being opaque on mouse over. You can use this effect to keep the users focus on your content rather than those links bar on the top of the page: for e.g. you can make your full menu bar with links less opaque or more transparent by default and highlight them on mouse over.
So how do we acheive this? Very simple the answer to this is to use the “opacity” property.
So how do we acheive this? Very simple the answer to this is to use the “opacity” property.
Opacity property can have the following values: 0.0 to 1.0 any values outside this range will be clamped into this.
Opacity: 1.0 means that the element is 100% Opaque or in other words 0% transparent.
Opacity: 0.0 means that the element is 100% transparent or in other words 0% opaque.
according to W3C this is how opacity should be defined opacity: 0.5
But Mozilla and IE had their own ways of implementing this
IE wants this for opacity to work filter:alpha(opacity=50)
and Mozilla wanted this -moz-opacity: 0.5
but newer versions of Mozilla doesn’t require this (I haven’t tested this but you can check it yourself by applying this style)
body{
font-family: “Trebuchet MS”,Trebuchet,Verdana,Sans-Serif;
background-color: #FFF;
color: #eee;
}
a.myopacity img{
border: none;
padding: 3px;
filter:alpha(opacity=65);
-moz-opacity: 0.65;
opacity: 0.65;
}
a.myopacity:hover img{
border: 1px dotted #000;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
-moz-opacity: 1.0;
opacity: 1.0;
}
or you can see this here in action

and by the way I forgot to mention that opacity can be applied to all elements.
Means you can apply this to text blocks, div’s, images, hyperlinks..or whatever you like. So go ahead and freak out.
Good day people!!!

October 18th, 2006You must have been disappointed. It can be quite frustrating especially when you are looking forward to a particular view.
