CoverFlow – style control for blackberry
HelloWebApps CoverFlow is highly customizable CoverFlow-like component for Blackberry devices. It doesn’t require OpenGL capabilities for Blackberry device, so it works with Blackberry OS versions earlier, than 5.0. It has been tested to work properly on Blackberry OS 4.6.
This component released under open source MIT license, so everybody could use it for free and modify it for thier needs. Current status of the component is alpha-version (API could change in the future) and it is under active development now. This article demonstrates component’s main features. You can see sources of demo application that uses most of control’s features (CoverFlow-based ToDo manager).
Animating favicon with jQuery.favicon plugin
In my last post about Dynamic favicon generation I’ve described how to use jQuery.favicon, to dynamically draw favicon content.

Dynamic favicon generation with Javascript
In my recent post about Browser tab’s icons I’ve come across nice idea of Remy Sharp (@rem). He suggests to use HTML5 Canvas and draw current day on Google Calandar icon. It’s a great feature to have on board so I’ve added it to my jQuery.favicon plugin.

Browser tab’s icon as notification tool
In this world web browser became more then just a tool to view a web page. Now it’s like an operation system. We can see all this modern web applications like Gmail, Twitter, Facebook. We have them all opened in separate browser tabs. But what happen when we leave the tab? Web application is still working, but we can’t see what happens there. So web developers use sounds and window.title to notify user that something happend (new chat message, email, tweet, etc.). But the thing is that modern user has a lot of opened tabs in his browser and each tab became too narrow to see that title has changed. So user gets confused when checks all the tabs to find out “who made that sound”. So what can help our users?

Skype integration into CRM
While working on micro-blogging-based CRM system, we’ve got an idea to integrate Skype chats in it. How it will work:
- While chatting with client or business-partner you can activate chat logging on the server
- While chat-sync is activated special micro-blogging tags are recognized in chat-log, so you can create tasks, declare commitments directly in Skype.
- And off course you’ll be able to search in saved chats
During last hour I tried to find similar integration in other CRMs, but I didn’t.
