CultureInfo is a class that provides information on cultures and in particular the property InvariantCulture or CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, is the provider of culture information that does not vary by localization, see the mathematical punctuation symbols. The CultureInfo class is in the System.Globalization namespace, leaving the path as: System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.

Some research online, I found XP-Dev, a hosting service only offers hosting for SVN, GIT and Mercurial. The service offers a free version for which we use for 2 projects private and public all you want, with a maximum disk space 200 MB. The free service limits us some access features such as SSL, in addition, other features are not missing anything, because it has a complete system with which to manage projects, manage tasks, manage bugs, wikis, etc. all easily configurable. From 4 € per month, $ 5, we have access to basic account, which will give us access to full service as SSL access, you can create as many projects as you like opensource or private.

Maybe someone will think that the best and simplest is to fit a SVN server at home, but the reality is that sometimes it’s more comfortable, use a cloud service and not worry about losing the sources of our projects or access to them whenever we want and it is best XP-Dev.

You can find a price list and a list of features on the website of XP-Dev.

The truth is that this browser is very good looking and I think it will become my secondary browser and work as well at a glance I can see the twitter. It looks pretty good, the only problem is still not in Spanish translation, but everything will come.

Here some screenshots browser.

Seeing that this was something they were doing a change from Google, I decided to fix it. The solution has been rather more simple than I imagined, as always, a cleaning program is best, and therefore we’re going to Settings> Applications> Manage Applications and once here, we should look for applications that call “Gmail”, “Gmail Storage”, “Google Talk” and “Saving Google Talk”. In each of the chips must erase the system data and to do so by pressing the “Clear” and ready, but that if, in the 2, program and storage and if you’re like me you not function or GMail or GTalk They have to do it in 4. Once done, we can open new applications and GMail will receive mailings, but will have to sync and if you take a lot of time, but the GTalk works on the first run.

I hope you have served this small fix GMail for Android or GTalk for Android when not working.

DotNet exists a class Char, which is the method Char.IsLetterOrDigit(boolean) which indicates a char or character, and this will return true or false if a number or letter and false if not. Ride a function to go character by character text field is alphanumeric checking whether or not the idea of erasing non-alphanumeric characters. Once mounted the role, I try a few times and everything works great. When we’re going to have to get into production … surprise, the last test failed (but impossible), we slipped the finger and put a “1″, put a “º”. When we investigate (ha try boars), we realize that this function requires that the characters “º” and “ª” are alphanumeric, we are lyrics, I suppose the “o” and “a”.

We control it and go, but if someone is in the same situation and knows that if some function to work properly comment on it. And if anyone looking for internet is blocked and is found in this post, you can breathe easy, because there is a malfunction, it does not work quite right. Yes, I know that for some “º” and “ª” are letters, but they are really special characters.

I recently discovered a new text editor for Mac called OmmWriter, at first seemed a bit simple and rare, since it is a very zen background (simple as they come) with a little music relaxing. I thought it was a notebook, but more pulling to roll zen. When I turn off the television, music and started writing, I discovered that is true of what supposedly is the editor, and its aim is to concentrate all attention on what is being written.

When you remove all distractions, where the only sound you hear is the music zen and keystrokes, which besides their own, OmmWriter has a special little sounds for the beats, gives a relaxing feel very good, plus it has an entire screen with a very relaxing background where you write and the only thing that appears is the text you type, no menus or anything that may distract. There are no words to explain how to write from the text editor, you just have to try.

Among other options such as opening and saving documents (logically had to come), we can change the font and size, as well as keyboard sounds, background zen music and background among several preset options, always including a very soothing tone, like music of nature with animal sounds, rivers, sea, etc.

Only one problem I see with this app is that when you move the mouse to select menu options and pass the mouse over an option, in fact we need a title indicates that it is each option, except that I think that the purpose of this app fulfills to perfection.

Finally say that whoever is lucky enough to have a Mac and want to try this great text editor for Mac OS X, you can do from the homepage of the project OmmWriter.

And understanding that it is serving a namespace to declare it in javascript, what we should do is use arrays to generate. Thanks to the weakness and dynamism of the variables in javascript, we can assign to a variable array of positions by name and access these through a punctuation mark “.” and not their common key array ["key"], so here comes the trick. Basically what we do by declaring a namespace in javascript is assigned to a variable array with the positions of the namespace and then and within these positions, log in as if from .Net or Java in question. With an example is simpler.

var Indalcasa = { Tools : {} };

Indalcasa.Tools.MyClass = function() {
  this.variable = "value";

  this.myMethod = function(parameters) {
    return this.variable + " " + parameters;
  }
};

var iClass = new Indalcasa.Tools.MyClass();
iClass.variable = "new value";
alert(iClass.myMethod("test"));

The above example shows an alert window with a message such that “new value test”, as we have instantiated the namespace class, we changed the value to the class attribute and the class method, concatenate the value of class attribute to the parameters that we have passed. This is a small and simple example of what can be done with javascript, namespaces and classes.

This is a long-term and very ambitious to go far and I hope to use it to build several websites that I have in mind. According to a calculation made according to the COCOMO system, currently the project with almost 1500 lines of code, would have a private cost of 6,000 €. For those who want to take a look and even collaborate with the development, documentation or providing issues, you can do on the web puntoengine project.

The practice of auto is very helpful whenever we have repetitive forms such as registration forms are similarly always call and they always ask the same data, avoid rewrite all our data over and over again.

There are cases where you might not want that the browser will autocomplete the text, may be the case that we have an online store that paying by credit card and we do not want that credit card we autocomplete. To avoid this, there is an attribute that is used by the vast majority of browsers is the attribute autocomplete=”on|off”, if the value is cleared off, tells the browser not autocomplete the field.

Although in many cases it is good practice to use the autocomplete attribute, the W3C has recognized this attribute as an attribute of the input tag with which to try to validate and meet with the autocomplete attribute, we give a validation error. To resolve the validation error that will be using javascript to add this attribute, the functionality is still there, but we will not have validation issues.

The only thing we do is add the following code at the bottom of the page, or at least, just after declaring the input

In this way we will ensure that when entering text in a input autocomplete not by the browser and if we can do for you autocomplete javascript.

A good and beautiful example of autocomplete fields is the use for muchoviaje in the areas of origin and destination.
