  • Facebook App Development tips, guides, and possible solution to issues

    In July 2013, I began learning about developing apps that run in Facebook. For a web developer especially one who works in a marketing agency, learning about Facebook app development is important nowadays because numerous amounts of campaigns are ran on Facebook.

    At first Facebook app development confused me, but after some exposure to it and some help from colleagues who have been doing it for years, I got the feel of it.

    Following are some blog entries on my Code Playground that are related to Facebook app development. (more…)

  • Adobe Illustrator: Get a smooth blur effect

    I remember how the pixelated blur effects in Adobe Illustrator made me feel so frustrated back in my IT Elective 4 class. It’s only now that I found out the solution for that problem, after doing a Google search. Here is how we can avoid pixelated blur effects in Adobe Illustrator. Please note that I am using Adobe Illustrator CS4.

    1. Click on Effect.
    2. Choose Document Raster Effects Settings.
    3. Choose High (300 ppi) as your Resolution.

    Doing the three steps above enhanced the blur effect on the graphic I am working on. I hope it helps you too.

  • Inline Frame that automatically adjusts its height for the source page

    Last year, I was working on our MULPROJ layout, and the type of layout I was making needed an iframe whose height is auto resized according to the source page’s content. This means that there should be no vertical scrollbar in the iframe, it simply adjusts itself vertically.

    I thought that it wasn’t possible to do this but I found a JavaScript code that can do the trick, and I just want to share it with you. 😉

  • IE Tester – see how your web pages look in different versions of IE (Windows Internet Explorer)

    (Post taken from my old blog, Poochycat.com)

    Ahh, it seems that I posted this in our MULPROJ days. ^_^

    Yesterday I woke up at 6AM. I wanted to go on with my sleep, but I couldn’t. I suddenly remembered that I haven’t tested in different versions of Internet Explorer the layout design of the website I had to submit for MULPROJ that day. It’s like God woke me up to remind me that I had to test the layout. xD

  • Opening MS Office 2007 files in MS Office 2003

    For our school work, Microsoft Office is very much used. Students exchange MS Office files with one another for homework and projects. Based on my observation, each time a file in MS Office 2007 format (.docx, .pptx, or .xlsx) is sent to a student who uses MS Office 2003, that receiving student complains, and either makes the sender save it as a 2003 file and resend it, or sulk face in one corner of the room for not knowing how to open the 2007 file.

    Let’s make a list here of few ways to open .docx, .pptx, and .xlsx files in a computer without Microsoft Office 2007. 🙂
