3 Reasons why CSS frameworks are awesome

I’ve posted about Bootstrap sometime before but have I told you that it’s not just Bootstrap? There are a bunch more and it’s really great that these have been made because it has made coding more faster than ever.

Gone are the days we’d like to code from scratch (sure, that’s great too but when you’re in a hurry – it isn’t advisable!) And here are more reasons why usage of CSS frameworks would make your life happier.

1. Some also have included jquery libraries and effects – In Bootstrap you can already have a set of javascript and jquery to use for menus, navigations or pop-ups. You can also customize them as you like.

2. You’ll code 50% faster especially once you’ve got the hang of it – classes and ids of different sizes are already prepared for you, all you’d need to do then is to add your classes or div ids with your own styles, you can always overwrite the existing ones as well.

3.  Most CSS frameworks are responsive – Everyday, there’s a new smartphone gadget owner – more are depending on their mobile phones for browsing websites which makes it a must to have a responsive website, so if you don’t want to spend too much time on working hard to create a responsive template, css frameworks make that easier for you with a bit of tweaks you might know :)

There are many more reasons to love css frameworks but always remember that when you know and use these css frameworks, you shouldn’t forget about the fundamentals of html and css you know because in the end they are still the most important!

BBM coming to Android and iOS

BlackBerry Messenger is known for its security and exclusivity. However, BlackBerry has finally decided to launch it on other smartphone OS – do you think that’s good or bad?

Personally, I think it’s awesome! Then again, had I known I would not buy a BlackBerry. I own a BlackBerry but the only reason I actually like it is because of the image quality, the led light and BBM (and I don’t really like using BBM as I used to only use it for contacting my boyfriend)

It’s a good news for others who haven’t experienced BBM though, and I’m looking forward what else BlackBerry will offer!

Gadget pests!

Believe it or not, some insects can harm your gadgets and even animals. Naturally we know we should look after our pets at home but did you know that animals from the rodent family have a liking with copper wires?

Not only rodents but ants. I’ve experienced this once and I thought I’ve already lost hope on my iPod connector. I don’t know how in the world they found my iPod’s connector tasty or what but it’s an alert because usually we just place wires of our gadgets here and there.

Fortunately, suspend sc is there and others that can repel away these pests somehow. Or maybe you can install an application that makes a high frequency sound that apparently also repels pests so you can protect your gadget wires!

WeChat, you chat!

Sorry for the lame title. Anyway, most of you guys have probably signed up for this other message/chat service called WeChat. Before I only saw this as ad on most of the applications I have on my Android phone, to the point that I found it already annoying – but lately, it’s become the “trend” as they released a commercial locally here in Philippines.

Like Viber, Kakaotalk, Kik, Skype, Yahoo messenger, BBM and many more - WeChat is an application that helps you communicate with your friends and family through your wifi or mobile internet as if you were just sending SMS to each other. There are also some perks, voice talk, stickers and the likes.

You can also get it for free and it’s available at Playstore – most of all it’s cross platform! Blackberry, iOS and Windows can also run this application. And that’s why WeChat is awesome.

However, if you’re into cutesy things and KPOP I still prefer Kakaotalk.

iPod upgrade!

It’s probably late. But I’ve decided to upgrade my iPod to the latest version and disregard jailbreak for now. I want to try how to live without it for once although it’ll probably tough because I’ve been used to the tweaks and fun stuff Cydia offers. I didn’t make a list either as there were some I didn’t want to be installed again, usually, I install too much lol. I wish Cydia would make a ‘paid’ section for you to find out tweaks you’ve bought so far (I can’t remember if there’s any anymore as I haven’t touched my iPod that much either)

I also wanted to upgrade so I can finally sync songs because I need music in my life! I haven’t been listening to music making me be tensed most of the times, lack of relaxation or so. It’s the best alternative while I cannot get guitar kits from musicians friend and can’t play the guitar, oh my poor guitar!
