configuring svn on site5
By pavic | January 29, 2007
My main goal, when I started with this experiment, was to try setting up svn on my machine without using tortoise SVN for it, because it uses tsvn cache, and adds stuff to right mouse button, which interacts badly with operating system.
After few hours, I am finally getting close to a solution…
Whatever I try I am getting “connection closed unexpectedly” for usage with plink.
so I found a solution on net to try using some other ssh client, openssh for windows etc, and I found that openssh works, but only trough cygwin.

pure UL/LI css menu with submenus
By pavic | January 24, 2007
Hmm, this seems to be a problem on the net, and it’s kind’a problem to make browsers work with it. I had it done long time ago in some backend project, which were never used.
So here is it used again, public now!
If anyone want’s to figure out how does it work, feel free.
Css is pretty complicated, so if I need to clarify something, please leave a comment.
It’s a ZAMAK project which utilizes full power of my strawberry cms.

Analyzing various different implementations on internet. I found my implementation best at all criteria.
The most important criteria is you won’t get headache while implementing it.

Personal developement
By pavic | December 9, 2006
Past few months, more likely a year or so. I caught myself working very lately. Due to continuous repetition, this become habit.
A very bad habit if you ask me. On top of this habit I had some 8h difference clients, and working at night seemed like perfect solution.
But, after a while I noticed that, I become very unproductive. It was hard for me to wake up, hard to start doing anything I lived on a day to day basis. I was living in a dorm, in country where most people live on day to day basis, so I felt comfortable.
But what kept me alarmed is some common sense, of time passing by, no girlfriend around etc. I am sleeping 8+ hours, so I decided to change it…
Will I be successful? I have to!
Good thing is a keyword that I mis-used in my life.
I thought that motivation is a key to success, but on a http://www.stevepavlina.com/ I discovered a right keyword.
Discipline is a key to success in many things, including a habit of sleeping.

Adopting to web2
By pavic | December 4, 2006
Many people does not yet know what web2 is, or how to recognize what is web2 and what is not.
Well, by spending more and more time online, collaborating, and doing business online instead of walking 200 feets to do something, people are ending up, even more tired with same, littlebit more or less money than they used to earn.
For a person to adopt to web2 means,
- concentrating on core of your work
- setting things on computer as clean as possible
- spending 15-30 mins daily reading rss feeds
Now there is much new&beta services available. But in the future, the whole point is
- doing your business faster
ending up less tired

Linux based web operating system
By pavic | November 20, 2006
I’ve just talked to a colleague, about internet in the future. We talked that people will boot their computers directly from internet.
But then I realized, if everything is going to be internet based. OS will loose any sense even in this specific form.
Because OS will consist of drivers, etc, and browser… You just boot your OS, start browser, and there you go…
If somebody is interested in this project, we would like to participate

Serbian 3O’s (invented by me, or at last I think so :)
By pavic | November 19, 2006
After watching over 20 episodes of Robotech and South park today I feeled bad, and it’s not a first time that I am doing it.
I opened to see a documentary of our tragically murdered premiere “Zoran Đinđić” named “Ako Srbija stane” (if serbia stops).
The documentary has motivational speeches combined of our premier’s various public speeches.
After watching it for a while, I decided to become 3O’s:
- Odrastao - Grown up
- Odgovoran - Responsible
- Organizovan - Organized

LCD screens are bad for eyes
By pavic | November 18, 2006
My opinion is that today’s LCD computer screens are bad for eyes, due to big between pixel space. Not all of them, for example Dell Latitude’s D610 14″ screen has resolution of 1400×1050 pxels, making it’s between pixel space small, and pixels themselves small also.
After working on for example my SAMSUNG 730BF and taking look of the screen, I have small problems adjusting.
So, by this big pixels and distance is causing your eyes and brain to forcibly form image in your mind from “undetailed” picture, causeing them to forget to see the details which are natural for human eyes to see.
Update 25.11.2006 - here is a great link I have found. I agree with a guy who wrote this, and I think we should syndicate to make new researches, on topic, how exactly do LCD screens affect human eye and retina.

By pavic | November 14, 2006
Sometimes ul/li element won’t update it’s height properly. In browsers, this can be seen like, when deleting particular UL/LI element, gap shows between 2 li neighbor elements.
In order to fix this problem, after removing li element, put height to 100% for a parent ul tag.

Better way of fighting spam register bots
By pavic | November 11, 2006
Working on budgetzen app, and chatting with ingenious Brian Breslin from Infinimedia, I’ve felt on my mind an new idea how to fight spam register bots, since some of them can recognize captcha images.
Let them recognize em, was my idea, but let there be 2 antispam images, and input box, that requires sum of those 2 numbers.
No spam bot yet sums the numbers.
So here is it in action: www.budgetzen.com
For initial purpose I used jpgraph, but any set of images can be used trough ordinary php or gdlib.
