Taking snaps, making them personalized and then giving unique touch is an interesting hobby among people today, as well as steady jobs for others. Digital photography is part of our day to day lives and we find them almost anywhere. And certainly is the most excellent way to remember the places and people you visit, however we now have an advanced technology called image stitching that let you merge multiple images with overlying of view into a sectioned panorama.

So if you are interested in creating your own panorama, you must check a superb image stitching software called PTGui. This is panoramic a powerful stitching software for Windows and Mac OSX operating system. Originally developed as a Graphical User Interface for Panorama Tools (hence the name), PTGui now is a full featured photo stitching application. The cool thing about this software is that you don’t really need to be a professional photographer in order to make panoramic images, just keep in mind few rules and you are done.

How it works?

As you enter the software piece you have project assistant to help you go ahead. You can add photos here for further workings and you will also find an option called “image calibration” that help you set up camera and lens parameters for achieving high quality photos. You are free to sort, correct and replace images with source images separately and more actions for lens settings like focal lens, lens type you would have to toggle the advanced button.

Creating beautiful panorama is just limited by your imagination, PTGui offers many default projection styles that can be made use of. Don’t forget to set up control points that are hugely important for the pictures that can save your time in reconstructing and reconfiguring the stuff you have in mind. Once you are done with the adjustment check out optimizations which is available in the same panel. For further advanced option click on Finder bar and anything you do on the project can be viewed in real-time Panorama Editor. Once you are sure of completing the project check the preview and proceed.

Important Features -

• PTGui can stitch multiple rows of images
• Create 360 degree cylindrical panoramas, ‘flat’ partial panoramas and even spherical 360×180 degree panoramas
• No need to keep the camera level: PTGui can stitch rotated and tilted images
• Virtually unlimited output size: create Gigapixel panoramas from hundreds of images!
• Create templates with frequently used settings.
• Support for OpenEXR (.exr) and HDR Radiance (.hdr) source images
• Batch Stitcher can generate control points and set up a panorama.
• Layered output allows full control over the final stitched result
• PTGui stitches most panoramas fully automatically, but at the same time provides full manual control over every single parameter. This enables stitching of ‘difficult’ scenes, where other programs fail.
• Full 16 bit workflow for best image quality

These are just handful of features I have mentioned and there are many more waiting for you to explore. However, you might have come across Photoshop stitching engine that does the job satisfactory, but you would certainly need PTGui when the project does not work find on Photoshop engine. PTGui offers quick and expert method of creating beautiful panoramas and can serve great for most of the passionate photographer. This piece can be a great choice when playing around with 180 or 360 degree VR.

The proliferation of mass information over the years has caused all people in general to become more aware of their surroundings and events happening all over the world. And because of the Internet’s capabilities to deliver the exact information whenever you want it, many people have decided to take advantage of this arrangement by creating their own blogs and becoming evangelists in the own right. But not all blogs or bloggers are alike.

With so many things going on, having just one niche or specialty can be a daunting task, especially if you’re the type of person who has a lot to say about anything. Having a wide understanding of different things may make you an interesting conversationalist in the real world, but on the internet, you might want to just concentrate on one thing if you want to be able to attract visitors to your site. Avoid information overflow in your blog by becoming an expert of one industry.

The only way that this can be achieved is by becoming focused on the subject that you’re good at and know like the back of your hand. So whether it’s about celebrities or golf, as long as you stick to one niche, your blog will surely attract the attention of your specific market and advertisers alike.

"As long as the centuries continue to unfold, the number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes." –Denis Diderot, "Encyclopédie" (1755)

How would you feel when you visit a website looking for information and it says – Loading – Please wait 10%, 50%…? Annoying? In fact nothing is more annoying for a website visitor than waiting for a 100K graphic to load when it actually has to be 10K. Huge flashy graphics and multimedia might make your website look nicer, but helps no way for a time savvy reader who comes to avail information on your site. In turn your visitor would click off immediately without looking at what you have to offer, although this is not your intention.

It is of course imperative to have a practically fast loading website so that your visitors are not left in a loop of waiting. Also remember that search engine algorithms do take your website loading time into consideration when pushing your ranking. Most likely, your visitors will come to your site for reading interesting and valuable content or to make a purchase, so why not make their visit enjoyable? Learn how to create a fast loading website with these 10 effective tips:

10 Effective Tips for a Fast-Loading Website

About Images and Graphics – We all know minimizing the usage of images can be a good deal for a fast-loading website, but what if it is not possible? Well, when designing templates, logos, buttons, and other necessary elements in Illustrator make sure they are created as vector images. As these images are big in size, turn them from CMYK to RGB and also ensure you decrease it to exact size that is required by your site. Remember resizing needs to be done only in Illustrator or Photoshop for quick loading. Make use of an excellent tool called GifBot that helps you shrinking your graphics right on a webpage quickly.

Make Most Out of CSS – CSS is a revolutionary tool for fast-loading website, actually many developers these days prefers designing the whole website using CSS. Just because it is a simple HTML code, it has an advantage of loading fast. However, working on CSS requires creativity, so make sure you try out different styles in CSS. Because CSS styles are in HTML, you would further save time and have the same unique effects you’re behind.

Avoid “So-Called” Creative Stuffs – How about adding as flash movie or a dancing object to the website to impress visitors? I’m sorry but it a bad idea, your readers would only feel assaulted with these so-called creative stuffs. Using plain Html is best as too many fancy things that impress you might bog down the loading time and will cause visual overload to your visitor. It is best to make minimal usage of such objects or even better to avoid it.

Respect Your Site Content – Placing content wherever possible will leave your reader confused and lost. Your content is valuable and the most important element of the site, so it is ok if you have more to share, but it is bad to stuff them all at one place. Basically, long content pages will take long time to load. Hence, break them into different relative sections so that the size is minimized for each page. Give some room for your reader to breathe and enjoy surfing.

Know Your Backgrounds and Buttons – Using background images will only say your website is “amateur”, because no professional site make use of background images that distract the reader. The main problem is it will take longer time to load than the usual. The same holds true in case the site has end-number of buttons. Best is to optimize your button and background in Photoshop, if the loading time really matters to you. Use appropriate web colors for background and roll over buttons to help saving loading time.

Turn Your Images Into Tables – These days’ tables can be an excellent alternative to graphics and images. It is a must to learn to make use of tables offered by the web design program as it will reduce the load time of site. You can definitely give an artistic feel just by making use of table with background color and cool text. Remember, the more you dig down HTML to create a website, the faster you will have your website load.

Chuck Down Animated Gifs – We have increasingly saw that a simple looking website gain more popularity than animated one. Why use Animated Gifs when we know that it can slow down the loading time? There might be lot of hype about animated gifs on site, but can give horrifying results when visitors come to you. You want your visitors to come and come again, so do it with simple and fast loading website. By all means attractive design and good content can drive traffic.

Useless and Repeated Pages – Do you need them? If not, then minimize your web pages with required information and make sure you don’t duplicate them. This is very important for saving time on site navigation. Point-to-Point information is always appreciated by people. We all love manageable sites, which helps easy navigation without getting bogged down. So ensure you take away all your useless and repeated pages.

Love HTML – If you looking to save time on loading then take care you design most of your site in HTML. There is always room for creativity and the best creativity is used when designing website with HTLM code. It will not only save time, but it is relatively easy to deal with. Make use of tables, colors, CSS styles, different fonts to create it. Also know that your website should be completely error free.

Keep Your Eye Open – So your site is ready, and the work is over? No, not really, you need to keep an eye open on your website and observe the pages often. Checking often will help you locate bugs (if any) and will improve it overall. Fix the error immediately if you come across any for over all good performance!

It seems that Yahoo does not want to give up about it’s non-existence on the social media sphere and desperately wants an entry into the most happening and talked about word on the internet. After unsuccessfully trying and then shutting down Yahoo 360 and another service for the Indians only, it’s trying out on an new concept which is a Twitter + Facebook = Meme.

I recently got an invite and decided to give the new application a try. Yes, a of now, it’s by invite only.

Yahoo Meme is by invite only

Well, if you are a person who wants reads the conclusion first, then my view is it is definitely worth a try. Let’s come to the detailed analysis of Meme.

First and foremost is that anyone can follow anyone, you don’t need permissions and do not necessarily follow back, just like twitter. People can see your tweets or mem’s or whatever it will be called, but only if they view your profile. Unlike twitter or facebook, a meme home page does not list what everyone tweets or shares. It shows only your own mem’s (I’ve decided to call it mem). It has a dashboard (add wordpress to the above equation) which is the page, where you can mem your text, image, audio or video. Yes, you read that right, you can share text, audio, video and pictures – that’s facebook minus the audio.

Yahoo Meme allows 4 things to be shared

What is good or rather best is that it also allows something between a 140 character tweet and a 300 word long blog post. No, there is no restriction on the character length, you can write as much or as little as you want. For me this was the best thing as it allows people to open up again and not try to bump everything in just 140 characters and on the other hand avoid writing long blog articles too.

The other thing good is that from the first day itself it’s supporting 3 languages, English, Espanol and Portugese unlike twitter which, till date (I think it’s been 3 years in existence now), has support for only 2 languages, English and Japanese. Well, the three languages may not be of much use to you as of now but this definitely shows that they will be having multiple language support very soon, signs that they don’t want to target just the English speaking audience, eyeing to cater a much larger base.

Yahoo meme supports 3 languages

Yahoo meme has another cool feature, which is that it allows you to view popular mem’s, something like the trending topics on twitter, but not exactly that. Well, still not very clear what popular will always show, but it definitely had pics and the number of times they were mem’d when I clicked Popular. You can view the result of that here.
And yes, you can REPOST (retweet in twitter lingo) that mem from anyone else.

Last but not the least, there’s something for the marketers as well – Search. Still not extensive as it lists out only profiles containing the search keyword but if they are to survive I guess they will have to work out on it. Of course when they go live, yeah they are still in alpha, there will be hundreds of third party applications that will be developed around it but in order to see a different fate from it’s previous social media experiments, Yahoo must have an inbuilt search engine, at least a comprehensive one if not extensive.

With the kind of features it has as of now, a little better search and a slightly changed home page might definitely put it ahead of twitter, unless twitter adds something new to it’s current features.

Well that’s what my observations are, I may have missed something, do drop in to discuss things or tell me features which I may have missed and more importantly let me hear your take on whether it will overtake twitter or not ?

It’s been quite a long time since we’ve been hearing those calls of the death of the internet’s most favorite browser, IE6 but it looks like they’ve never been heard. While most of the end users never understand the difference between an IE6 or IE7 or an opera or a firefox, the developer community has had am awful time supporting or making applications or write code that support IE6.

Youtube stops IE6 Support

Well, no doubt it was a very good browser, but the point is it WAS. As we develop new technology and embrace it gracefully, the love for old ones should die. Sometime ago we saw Ben Parr write something on Mashable regarding same and showed snapshots of facebook recommending to upgrade or switch to a different browser on an internal page, I guess it’s the first time a website as famous as YouTube has come up openly and stop the support to the, sorry to say but, Pathetic browser.
It’s high time now and probably the world should take a note of it and probably understand what the perils of using IE6 are. The developers around the world are seen writing new hacks every time they want to write some good piece of code and end up with doing an enormous amount of extra work just to support an old piece of software. Moreover it even has curbed the creativity of designers and developers around the world as more often than not customers ask for IE6 supported applications and design. How can we evolve in such a scenario.

Internet Explorer 6 - Must DIE

But if the trend that YouTube has set, continues, more and more people/websites/portals will/should stop supporting the still most widely used browser and in the end what we will have is better I-World. Hope we soon see this day. To support the “Death of IE6″, please add a twibbon to your twitter avatar.
And yes, if you still support that trash, you may join this.

I assumed that you know about one of the most brilliant Wordpress Plugin, WP Super Cache, used to enhance the website / blog performance by increasing its loading time. If you doesn’t hear about it then on a simple note its functionality can be described as

This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts.

The static html files will be served to the vast majority of your users, but because a user’s details are displayed in the comment form after they leave a comment those requests are handled by PHP. Static files are served to:

1. Users who are not logged in.
2. Users who have not left a comment on your blog.
3. Or users who have not viewed a password protected post.

Thanks to Donncha for creating this awesome plugin. Now the what’s the point of this blog post? This blog post aims toward the recent update in the WP Super Cache where it comes with new check list of Accepted Filenames & Rejected URIs. Initially we used to defined the manual file names with php extensions for the rejection of the caching but now it work even beyond that.

wp-.*\.php
index\.php

Now the check list comes with the options of Conditional Tags (Tags used to define the conditions of the contents in the templates). The main changes in the recent 0.9.6.1 updates are listed below:

1. Ability to move “not logged in” message init below check for POST.

2. Options to add is_admin() check so plugin definitely can’t cache the backend.

3. Options to add “do not cache” page type to admin page.

What is the benefits ?

Now the page which changes most like your home page , front page loads the recent updates and changes with any hassle of clearing the cache.
