Cute XML slideshow..


Now, This is what I call a penultimate slideshow based on xml/ActionScript component created in FlashMX2004 by Todd Dominey. What's uniqe is SlideShowPro supports RSS 2.0 and OPML for organizing feeds. As of now,It's not at all free and it's worth of $20 and payable only through PayPal.This slideshow rocks both in performance and usability.

I was looking for this kind of nice stuff for quite some time.
Sometime back, I was able to build a xml feeded Flash based slideshow for one of my corporate presentation(standalone). But always stuck up with a xml refreshing and image swapping durations were conflicting with :

 clearInterval(intervalID);

if;
function autoSlide() {
if (currentRecord == nodeCount)
{ // *is first slide, or any count of slideimage appears,
normally gets into loop mode mostly when it reaches the end of the slide.
got the workaround. But on slower FPS systems it made a lot of difference in clearing
set Interval.
This slideshow, beats Darshan's component in eliminating that disadvantage.
}

While on R&D of the same, I found pretty interesting slideshow created by Darshan Sawardekar a year ago. That was a master piece with elegant design. And made a lot of news in Flash community.


Dream Picture Posted by Hello
Wow ! What can I say about this beautiful picture taken by Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20 ( see above )digital cam. Initially I thought to go for Kodak or Canon stuff. And was seriously thinking of getting one from Dubai shopping festial, where I would be getting outright 8% discount. But I just fell in love with panasonic Lumix series, when I saw, point and shoot
Panasonic DMC-FX5 with my friend Sonal.
Fianlly I decided to go for:
Panasonic DMC-FZ20.
This camera fits my needs and tastes.
Infact I was more keen on:
36 - 432mm (equiv.) F2.8,
12x Opt Lens factor rather than its 5.3 mega pixels.

This is announced at the end of July 2004. DMC-FZ20 is the flagship model of the third generation of 'super zoom' cameras from electronics giant Panasonic. If everything goes well, surely I would be placing my snaps on Lumix Awards for 'the best photograph' ;)

My profile..

Offcially I started blogging 'Today' ;)
It's my first post and let me call this as a test post rather.

And I started questing a catchy phrase line to put into words -'me'.
I know, it's the most easy & the most toughest task to talk a loud on self.

My innovative thought tank was pure blank and empty...not even responding to the such a nice service offered by google blogger. So, wanted to grab a line out there from the web ( a typical designer attitude- you know ?!)
whaatever:

It's a quote from one of my favourite bloggers :
"I want to live only for ecstasy. Small doses, moderate loves, all half-shades, leave me cold. I like extravagance. Letters which give the postman a stiff back to carry, books which overflow from their covers, sexuality which bursts the thermometers."

Watch out this space for updates. Let's catchup here again and again...
you got every right to correct me if I'm wrong or out of context.

Cya.
