1. How to enable animated zooming as in http://www.tomtom.com/livetraffic/ (though it seems they implemented their own method)

   View http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/google-v3.html or http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/emanuel/animatedZooming/demo.html. The performance of those sites might not be as good as Tomtom’s because they might not have as fast WMS servers or the tiles are not cached efficiently. If you need fast tile seeding/caching, have a look at MapServer and in particular MapCache on the server side. Both of which are CGI programs implementing WMS.

2. How to restrict the map to a certain area by giving lon and lat values.

   View http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/restricted-extent.html or http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/all-overlays.html (line 18; view source). Generally, I think the maxExtent property of the Map class will do the trick.

This document describes 5 easy steps to setup your Postfix email server as smarthost to relay on DNS Exit mail relay server for all email sending.

The mail relay service from dnsExit.com can be found at here

1. Create password maps file (it assigns username/passwords to specified mail servers). You can choose any name, let's say it is /etc/postfix/relay_passwd. It's content should be as follows:    

 relay.dnsexit.com USERNAME:PASSWORD 

 Note: Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your DNS EXIT mail relay username and PASSWORD.   

2. Set proper permissions for that file:
# chown root:root /etc/postfix/relay_passwd
# chmod 600 /etc/postfix/relay_passwd     

3. Create hash from maps file (remember to do it each time you change your maps file):
#  postmap /etc/postfix/relay_passwd   

4. Configure your /etc/postfix/main.cf:
relayhost = [relay.dnsexit.com]  # this is the important line!
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =    

Note: If your ISP blocks outgoing port 25. You can choose to use alternative SMTP ports by appending the port at the end:
relayhost = [relay.dnsexit.com]:26

5. Reload or restart your postfix:
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart

The thing to note here is that you can easily use your ISP’s smtp server as the relayhost. You can find out easily what your ISP’s smtp server is by going to their support pages.

cd /usr/local/
sudo tar xvfz ~/apache-tomcat-6.0.35.tar.gz # or wherever you downloaded tomcat to
sudo ln -s apache-tomcat-6.0.35 apache-tomcat-6 # or whatever your tomcat version is

This is for the beginner as well as the advanced level web developer/designer to learn the new techniques for developing standard compliant web sites/pages.

If you are a web developer and know the basics of HTML and want to take that leap forward into a new era of web standards, this book is for you. Anselm and Paul describe all of the elements that have been added by the time of writing in a very efficient and concise way. Examples of use and use cases make the context in which these elements should be used very clear and explanations are kept simple in order to maximise the readers understanding. If you are looking for a book that gives a complete overview of HTML5 you have come to the right place. If you are looking for a book going into detail on the new JavaScript APIs, this book gives you an idea of what you can do but is by no means the focus of this book. The focus is more on HTML5 as in its markup elements. So, in essence, it serves the title well.

Chapter 1

Here the authors describe how HTML5 came about and what the history behind it is. The reader gets a general introduction to an HTML5 documents basic structure and its ease of implementation compared to previous standards.

Chapter 2

In Chapter 2 "Using the right tag for the right job" the old and new elements are described in detail. It is filled with a lot of information on how to effectively use the correct element in the right situation. If you need a refresher on old elements and need to know new elements, this chapter is for you.

Chapter 3

This is all about semantics. The aim of the standard is to provide for a semantic web that is better searchable and discoverable. The main thing I got out of this chapter is that HTML should be used to optimize content and not for styling. The good part here are a lot of diagrams that visually explain the concepts and outline the tags and their usage.

This is not a complete summary by all means. I merely try to give an overview and make you aware of this book’s use. This book is useful for designers and web developers alike. What I got out of it is a lot of information that I wouldn’t have even looked up because I wouldn’t have thought of it. It is definitely a must read for web oriented people who want to embrace the advances of HTML in the 21st century’s second decade. If you would like a complete reference and understanding of markup, this book is for you. If you are a pure programmer and want to know more about HTML5′s canvas and video element’s API, this book only scratches the surface. However, all you need to know is what is possible and this book is good at telling you that.

It was great. Great pace, great set of tips and tricks and as usual, great people and atmosphere.

Ingredients:

1. Carrots (~3-4)
2. Broccoli (1)
3. Coliflower (1/2)
4. Pasta (Pene) (500g)
5. Tomatoes (2-3)
6. Feta Cheese (1 pack ~250g)
7. Grated Cheese (~200g)
8. Flower (1 tbsp)
9. Water
10. Milk (to liking, ~50ml)

The order of making things you can optimise to use the least amount of time.

1. Boil ~1/2 pot of water put (carrots in first) vegetables cut into pieces. Boil for ~10-15 minutes, depending on whether you want them soft or on the hard side. Add Chicken stock or similar or salt and pepper to liking. Important: keep water content as low as possible and do not get rid of the water after.
2. Make a “Schwitze” (roux): put some flour (1 tbsp initially) and butter (1 tbsp) into a small pot (preferable) or pan, wait until golden brown, add water from boiled vegetables (to keep the nutrients), add milk until you have a thick soup.
3. Boil pasta until al dente with salt to liking.
4. After vegetables are ready, put them into a casserole dish, put unboiled tomatoes and feta cut into pieces over. Add pasta and finish with the “Schwitze” on top. Add grated cheese on top.
5. Put into oven at 200 degrees (centigrade) for 30-45 minutes (check).

Voila! You should have made a reasonably healthy pasta casserole. Please comment if it works out well.
