GDkit

Recently, when I was playing with Google Desktop SDK, an idea of a third party JavaScript library came in to my mind; which made myself to code a small JavaScript class with some reusable features.

That small JavaScript got wings and is hosted on Google Code. ;)

Checkout the newest project GDkit. It's a JavaScript library for Google Desktop Gadget developers. It's an easy way to add several cool features to your gadgets.

We released a BETA version (1.0) of the first GDkit library : Effects. The main goal is to create some wrapper classes where developers can wrap basic elements.

The example use of the 'Effects' library:

var ani = new Animation(elementX);
ani.setDuration(3000);
ani.fadeOut();

Will add fade out effect to the element named 'elementX'.

We are really looking forward to provide some other useful libraries as well. Whilst the 'Effects' library is getting improved GDkit developers are working on another new library called 'Widgets', which is to be released in near future.

Your comments & feedbacks always keep us alive !

Cheers!

A goal

Having goals in life is one of best things. IMHO people should have dreams and then, their dreams should improve as goals. I had lot of dreams in my life which I made success by giving them the status - "goal", and yes there are lot of failures, too. But sometimes chasing after things makes me really tired.

I still remember my childhood, I always thought people can have a restful life after their A/L s. hehe Yeah it sounds really funny, I know. After doing my grade V examination the next target was the O/L s, then Advanced Level made a real pressure on me and I though I was gonna be a Doctor, lol. But I'm really satisfied what I do currently.

I'm still chasing after goals.., After finishing the High School education the next thing was completing the higher studies...

I guess this is the nature of having goals, but I see no endpoint. Chasing after something, then we find another one. Chase again, and find something else.. I wonder when this is end.
