Recently I”ve been looking for a solution for a client. They need to integrate a schedule for their fitness studio, so the visitors of their website can quickly and easily find out, what time is what class. Well, its easy, I thought. I”ll sing them up for a Google account and integrate Google calendar into their web site. Happy with this solution I started integrating the calendar, everything ok, untill I needed to do one simple thing. Change color of an event on a single calendar. After spending a couple of moments trying to do that, i decided to search the web for a hint. One of the first search results was a forum, Google forum , I couldn”t believe my eyes. Dozens of users requesting a simple feature form months, not being able to get it. It even looks like Google can”t be bothered to post a reply to all those requests. One thought comes to your mind immediately as you start thinking of it. Well what can you do, its for free, you can”t really say anything. You can”t complain, you”re not paying a penny for it. Second thought is, what free apps I”m using from Google? Gmail, Calendar ( both web and mobile ), Documents, Photos, Analytics and many many more…. And it well maybe, next time there is another problem or request with a free Google app, and no one’’s gonna care. What you gonna do? Isn”t it scary? I think it is. It’s just something to think of, that being dependent on free apps from one single company might not be the greatest idea.’

I was just gonna write a very long post about Radek Hulan, who blacklisted me on his blog, very likely for writing a very polite comment on one of his stupid posts on everything connected to apple, I reckon even a thought about an apfelstrudel makes this guy vomit… luckily very soon I realized what a waste of time would it be, to spend even couple of seconds on this Microsoft social media marketing guy number one in our country so I’m not gonna do it. Thanks god there is democracy everywhere else on the web except for Radek Hulan’s blog and Chinese web!!!

This is why I like the web. I like online tools on the web which can save you time, energy or money. Jsbin is definitely one of them. Sometimes I just need to try out or debugg little parts of javascript code and maybe ask a friend for help with that. All there is needed is to point my browser to jsbin website and start working. It has a very simple interface, just with three tabs, Javascript, HTML, Output. Just include the javascript library you prefer from the drop down menu and off you go. Maybe you want to send the code to someone else to ask for help, opinion, whatever, just hit the button share to public url and send that link to anyone. Combine this with the power of firebug and you got a very handy javascript online debugging tool.

Oh my lord, when I log in to my website using FTP there are just no files, directories at all! Though I’m writing this blog post using wordpress admin and my website is displaying correctly, I’ve got no data on the website at all Something very weird is going on here.

On this day twenty years ago Tim Berners-Lee proposed a document called ” Information Management: a proposal ”. This document became the blueprint for the World Wide Web and was called ” vague, but exciting ” at that time by Tim’’s supervisor. I would say, its pretty much exciting twenty years later. Happy Birthday WWW!!!
