Barcamp: Yahoo's Search Monkey App

if you've never been to yahoo's developer network, then it's my turn to say: where you been ma?

Today yahoo presented one of their cooler apps: the yahoo search monkey.

Search Monkey lets you define more information for your search results when searched in yahoo. In other words, customize your search results!

On the side of the coin, if you're a website owner, you can build apps that expose data from your site that other users can use to customize their search results... Case in point was linked in profile data for users to use to present their search results

Unfortunately, you need to know html (duh..) and php. Well i'm out! Still cool anyways. Check out Search Monkey here.

Barcamp: Flexible Rails? Sweeet....

I was watching this presentation on Flex... And I'm asking myself: dude, where've i been all this while?

Flex rocks! I'm gonna be looking at it once i'm done with learning the crazy prototype, jquery, and scriptaculous... Phew... Turns out that by itself is more than just a walk down the park... It's more (to me) like a swim in the rapids... With no pants! Ouch..

Anyways, back to flex...
Flex seems to be able to take your data and make useful graphical representations out of it...(mmm, i like...) . In my case, working with erp systems, we can actually present data in cool, interactive ways now...

Sweet...maybe i'll blog more on this later...

Barcamp is in town!

it's a fine saturday morning and i'm not in bed (What?). That's right L&G's! Barcamp's in town, and i'm warming up my cold ass on the tiny seats (truth is, my ass is huge) of the presentation rooms this fine day.

Cool stuff coming up today! We got yahoo dev network, we got presentations on flex n JRoR, and a kickass demo on making money in youtube!

Look's like it's gonna b a long, butt flattening, but exciting day for us malaysian geeks... Reminds me of chandler's party chant: 'Spring Break! Woohoo!' (Geez... how geekier can I get?)

more on this later!
