As I’ve found some bugs in it, and I didn’t consider files uploading enough comfortable, I’ve decided to update this little thingy. New version is creating less mess on FTP (js & style folders were moved into system), few bugs are fixed, few functionality clearance, but most important thing is new file uploader. I’ve implemented the GREAT jQuery Uploadify plugin, which is creating THE most comfortable file uploading experience EVAR! :)

Thumbnail generation functions in PHP Posted in: PHP, Tutorials Comments (1)
First, lets take a look on what problem will this tutorial solve, so you can decide if you want to read more :)
We will write 2 functions for creating thumbnails from random image (png, jpg, gif). First function will take thumbnail width and height set by you, and cut the “most important” part from the image (I’m assuming, that you are creating thumbnails of websites, so center top is the area I’m talking about) according to thumbnail ratio, and resize it into your thumbnail in exact size that you’ve set. Second function will take max thumbnail width and height set by you, and resize the image so it will fit your max values, but with preserving its original resolution ratio.

New free web template: Dark Lineage Posted in: Freebies, Games, Templates, Webdesign Comments (1)
As I’ve mentioned in the last article, I’ve found two old PSD files, which could be used as freebies for you. The first one was already released MMO icons, and second one is the “Dark Lineage” web template. I really hope, that this one is my last work around Lineage 2 theme. I’m kinda sick of it by now :)

Free MMORPG games icons Posted in: Freebies, Games Comments (0)
Recently, I’ve found two a bit older PSD files, that can be used on free stuff for you guys :) The first one is pack of MMO games icons in resolution of 132 x 132 pixels. I’ll be glad, if you’ll find it useful, but remember: MMO games are killers of real life, which is way better than any virtual reality ;) Don’t waste too much time in there, all right? :)

After starting up a blog, I’ve decided to cancel site news, as this is where I’ll be informing about big updates on the main website. Therefore, a slight mainpage change was needed. Recent works were transformed into slideshow, new CMS function, which you couldn’t care less :) But the biggest new thing is the new Templates policy, which is – Everything is for FREE!

Simple animated toggle with jQuery Posted in: Tutorials, Webdesign, jQuery Comments (1)
We all know about jQuery. Powerful and very popular JavaScript framework with many useful and great plugins. But the variety of plugins has created one bad behavior among webdevelopers. When they need to create some effect, or function, they are often looking for solution in plugins, instead of trying to do that on their own. This simple search for simplified coding is creating mess in code, and forcing you to compromises in your layout, styling, or even website design. In this tutorial, we will create few lines of code, that can replace very popular plugin called Animated Collapsible DIV, or most of the plugins creating tabs.

Hello world! Posted in: Darsain network Comments (0)
As I often caught myself in need to express some thoughts of mine, I’ve felt the lack of place, where it could be done. Joining an Internet discussion is nor very wise. In fact, it is pretty insane idea :) Therefore, the creation of my own blog become the logical next step on my way to immortality (joking). Posting an articles with power of moderating their discussion,… yes, I would like it :)
