Dynamic Google Plus Circles using jQuery and CSS

by Ivan Femia in

In the last days I spent some time playing with jQuery and CSS. One of my task was to create a Google Circle effect using as much as possible the jQuery library and make it flexible.

First of all we need to create a simple effect using CSS and jQuery, I don’t want to reinvent the wheel because I found this great example by Marc von Brockdorff; have  look to his tutorial here.

This is a great starting point but it is not enough, I want to have this effect as a jQuery plugin that can be easily added in every project.

In the jQuery official documentation there is a chapter that describes how to extend the jQuery library by creating your own plugin (Plugins/Authoring), so I tried to combine the two ideas in order to create my own plugin.

Reduce winsxs directory size in Windows 7

One of the biggest directory in a Windows 7 (and not only) operation system is the winsxs.

What is it?

Winsxs, which stands for ‘Windows Side By Side’, is Windows native assembly cache. Libraries which are being by multiple applications are stored there. This feature was first introduced, in Windows ME and was considered as Microsoft’s solution to the so-called ‘dll hell’ issues that plagued Windows 9x. [1]

In this post I will share a solution in order to reduce its size

Dear community, it was in the far July 2011 that I gave you updates on the abap2xlsx project with the reporting of my adventures at SAP Inside Track in Chicago (blog). In the last weeks, I had the idea to write a blog and few days ago a great present by SAP Mentor Gregor Wolf to the project (I will give you more detail below, keep reading) gave me the final sprint to be there on time for the New Year celebration.

Abap2xlsx is still the most popular project on Code Exchange with more than 3,500 downloads and close to 300 members. There is a great interest for this project, discussion board on Code Exchange is very hot, many people are asking and helping and many members are contributing (thanks you all) to improve this project adding new features and fixing some bugs ( yes, we had some :) ).

Set GMail as default mail program in Chrome

I don’t know way but in the last 2 days I could not use GMail as default program for mailto addresses, looking around I found this post in the Google support.

The solution below was exactly what I needed.

I report the solution if any of you may need it  :mrgreen:

1. Enable javascript handling in Chrome. You may be able to do this through the options menu, but I did it manually.

a. Close Chrome
b. In a text editor, open C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State
c. Find the protocol handler section:
"protocol_handler": {
  "excluded_schemes": {
    "afp": true,
    "data": true,
    "disk": true,
    "disks": true,
    "file": true,
    "hcp": true,
    "javascript": true,
    "mailto": false,
    "ms-help": true,
d. Find “javascript”: true, and change it to false: “javascript”: false,
e. Save the file

2. Launch Chrome
3. Open GMail and login
4. In the address bar type or copy and paste
javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler(“mailto”,”https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s”,”GMail”) or if you have multi account
javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler(“mailto”,”https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s”,”GMail”)
and press Enter or hit Go.
5. You’re done.
6. To cleanup, close Chrome, change the javascript setting back to true in Local State.
