Our team has just released the newest version of the Personal Website Engine - 1.2.1. In this version we have replaced the TinyMCE editor with the AJAX Control Toolkit editor. This one is a bit of a downgrade because TinyMCE has more features. However the AJAX Control Toolkit editor has better integration with ASP.NET and seems to be a bit faster and more stable. What is more we can make use of more controls from the toolkit in the future.

    We have also refactored the admin interface that had a lot of duplicate code between the add and edit functionality. Now they share a common control.

    Here is the new look of the admin part:



    As always you can download the source code and contribute from the project page at Codeplex. Please report any bugs you may encouter although we are incapable of writing buggy code so this would mean someone has sabotaged us.

   Мрежовите карти на клъстъра от сървъри, на които се помещава този не-блог се пукат по буксите от наплива на многомилионната ми аудитория също както Бургас се пукаше по шевовете на 14ти Август неспособен да побере народните маси придошли за Spirit of Burgas. На око изглежда, че на първия ден на фестивала са дошли тройно повече хора отколкото бяха дошли миналата година по същото време. Това направи невъзможно намирането на квартира в града (да не сме в Каварна?), за което е виновна само моята простотия. Явно подцених колко големи са хеадлайнерите тази вечер. Проблеми има и на входа където е настанало голямо блъскане. Към 8 и нещо успявам да се вмъкна и тръгвам на контролна обиколка по сцените...

   Ever since I asked myself and tried to find out why people tend to hate JavaScript I have been loving the language. My research revealed that JavaScript has many cool features from the very beginning. The reason people are hating it are the sucky browsers. Every browser has its own implementation which causes problems. What is more JavaScript's main use is to deal with the dreaded DOM. Luckily in recent years people seem to discover the power of JavaScript and appreciate the fact that the language is very well suited for the untyped nature of the DOM. As you probably know I do not believe that the Web should be rich and made to resemble desktop applications. Unfortunately this means that I did not have a chance to write complicated JavaScript and use the language to its full potential. The stuff I did was really simple validation and calculations like adding two numbers. However our current project is more user-centric and requires rich UI so it seems like the time has come for me to write some elite JavaScript...

   Уж лято, пък студено. Дали заради това в неделя следобед пред зала Универсиада нямаше много народ. Защо ли пък да има, все пак момчетата от Brooklyn, New York едва ли са най-големите звезди. Много хора си нямат идея кой е този Biohazard и на какъв инструмент свири, защото жанърът hardcore punk няма много почитатели, но феновете му са най-верни от всички...

   In order to pass the last exam left and graduate from the University of Plovdiv I had to create a small program that draws some splines. I picked Bézier curves as they seemed to be one of the simplest kind of parametric curves...
