Creating a Slick Auto-Playing Featured Content Slider with jQuery

I love the Coda Slider plugin for jQuery. I’ve used it recently to build a couple of tabbed “widgets”. One here on CSS-Tricks in the sidebar to show Script & Style links, Featured Posts, and Popular Posts. Just kind of a fun way to show lots of content in a small area. I also used it on an article for NETTUTS for a similar purpose.

Both of these examples use the Coda Slider pretty much “out of the box”. Sure the design was heavily altered to fit the job, but the actual functionality wasn’t altered in any way. I recently had the calling to build a “featured content area”. The Coda Slider fit the bill almost perfectly, but it needed a little functionality surgery to do what I wanted it to do. Special thanks to Benjamin Sterling for helping me out and figuring out some quirks for me.

JQuery - Featured Content Glider

This script lets you painlessly showcase new or featured contents on your page, by turning ordinary pieces of HTML content into an interactive, "glide in" slideshow. For the ultimate in the ability to customize its look, the pagination links are also ordinary links that you define on the page, but with special CSS class names inserted when it should perform a certain task (ie: "toc" class if it's a pagination link). This means the pagination links can be styled and arranged any way you like. The script enlists the help of the jQuery library for its engine. Lets see a rundown of the script's features now:

• Both the contents to show as part of the glider plus the pagination links used to toggle them are created from ordinary HTML content on the page. The pagination links can be styled, arranged, even selectively removed anyway you like.
• The gliding contents can be retrieved from an external file on your server via Ajax, instead of defining them inline on the page. new
• Pagination interface is gently faded into view.
• Supports two different display modes- "manual" and "slideshow." In slideshow mode, the glider automatically rotates the contents until the user explicitly clicks on one of the pagination links to view a particular content.
• With slideshow mode, specify optional number of cycles glider should go through in slideshow mode before it stops.
• Ability to configure the "glide in" duration (in milliseconds), plus glide direction..
• Optional persistence feature to remember and recall the last content viewed by the user when they return to the page within the same browser session (session only cookies).
• Multiple Featured Content Sliders per page supported.

Armin Van Buuren - Unforgivable

You use to light up the dark
With your unrelenting spark
It always put a fire in me
You use to say I'm the one
The only ray of sun you could touch without the fear of burning

Well you use to try to please me
Yeah you use to try to please me

Never said this would be easy
Never said this would be easy

Well now, you tell her now
While you hold her in your arms
Are you pretending shes me?

Just alone I go
Before you realize shes the one that you're going to lose anyway
You just got there now you're leaving
You just got there now you're leaving

Your sweet notes are deceiving
Your sweet notes are deceiving

Well it ain't over till its over and my world shuts down
But this comes close I'll have you know
Its just a matter of time
But it ain't over till its over but I won't be made a fool
'Cause leaving me the way you did was just so
Unforgivable [x6]

Use Google Calendar as Your SMS TEXT Reminder Service

Originally published at Ruhani Rabin | Technology Evangelist LifeBlog. You can comment here or there.

Google calendar is now available for your phone. It's easy to keep track of your events in Google calendar. Have you tried it yet? You can keep multiple layers of calendars. Add your friends birthdays, anniversaries, events and get notified at your phone. The reminders will be send to you as a SMS TEXT messages. I personally found it more meaninful because e-mail reminders can't remind you because most of us doesn't use e-mail 24/7. Setting it up is fairly simple. Of course you will need to have a google account to use the popular services like gmail, picasa, gtalk, google documents and so on. Once you login to your Google calendar account just goto settings and setup your mobile phone number. It requires you to verify your number by inserting a verification code. Look at the images below.

So you can have free SMS Text reminders for all your events. 

Stay young in a simple way

Originally published at Ruhani Rabin | Technology Evangelist LifeBlog. You can comment here or there.

Sometimes staying young in body and mind is not possible by doing diet or whatsoever. It can be achieved by having a great time and enjoy the moments of the life. Maybe these 10 points can help to you to stay young in body and soul. In order to stay young it requires both mental and physical health. Remember a body can't live without a mind.

1. Get rid of non essential numbers which includes age, blood pressure levels, sugar levels, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, astronomy, history or whatsoever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

4. Enjoy the simple things in life.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
   Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family,  friends, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
