Hope you like it. Not much different from an rss feed as its basically doing the same thing. only different is it has a bit of colors thrown on it and its in the google gadget directory.

Gave ma daily check on events.in876.com to see what events were taking place today and tomorrow. Did it via the rss feed of course.. When i went there i notice.. a new thing on the index page.. A filter block below the calendar. Sadly it doesn’t seem to work as yet. But really pimptastic idea.. good stuff fromt he in876 guys.. Take a look at it your self

Events.in876.com - Them fellaz really go hard. Clearly they determined to be a cut above the rest in the internet promotion business when it comes to events.

They’ve added light box flyer browsing on the index page, they’ve made minor aesthetic chagnes to the calendar that help the current day stand out more and a really cool thing, when you hover over the plus sign in a particular day cell you get a little tip saying add event to [day’s date].. kinda cool.. it helps people that not clear on what to do along.

To see the flyer browser click on the small image icon under the event title and watch the magic unfold :p

It resizes the flyers for the users so the users’ dont gotta resize it them selves. If the user wants a really pretty flyer though they just need to make it less than 600 pixels wide and 600 pixelss high.

And to me one of the coolest things is the events.in876.com upcomming events rss feed (subscribe ). For the lazy. lol or those that just got too many sites to visit. The rss feed syndicates with the calendars upcomming events shows the title + date and a small description. Which takes you to the full description when you click the title link for the event.

The hover over popup for event description was always there but its still cool to this day.

Thats about it as far as i can see right now still. I really rate the calendar and I hope them continue to do what them do to the best of them ability.

4 G racing took it home yesterday at vernam. Winning the 12 second class race. Events.in876.com sponsored and endorsed. Evolution powered.

Today “techjamaica” had a little event. The turn out honestly was way less than I expected but a good turn out non the less I guess.  I saw a few people I knew all was well. I was really busy to be honest so I was in and out of the event on my own personal business.

The main highlight of the event was the owner’s / creator’s speech. Quite interesting. Most of what he said was for the most part accurate. I’ve learnt quite a few things at my current place of employment relative to internet users, When they complain listen. forget about how you see it working and try to adhere to there needs and wants. Your community is based on well… your community. Your worst user is  your best asset (worst being the one you are annoyed of because of his constant complaints, there is bound to be some just underlying reason for his concern and revolt) and, do not be afraid to utilize technology available to you, The ui for the “tech portal of jamaica” is extremely outdated looks played out and utilizes’s no up to date technology from a user experience perspective. Remember the users’s care less about what your running on the backend its all about how it feels when using the website.

moving on from that However theree were a few key things that I had to laugh at were.

I believe in specialization. Specialize in what you do and stick to it. A lot of people are getting into a lot of things that they need not necessarily get into. Not because it was successful for me it doesn’t mean that you can do it.

I thought about it, I thought about it and i thought about it. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt that they always mean others well before I say anything negative.

Now Who are you to say what others can and cannot, should and should not do. I understand the logic of running the risk or watering down or thinning away one’s talent / competence by venturing into territory they may not understand. What you should ask your self however before jumping to ridiculous conclusions is:

1. Do they see something I’m not seeing.

2. Could I be doing something better than I currently am.

3. Have I attempted other strategies that may be more democratically implemented

However the man clearly knows everything so anything else other than what he said is probably out of the question. Internet communism at its best.

He made a statement about “greed” and how people are just venturing into various projects with money at the core of the efforts. Speak not what you do not know and understand. You know nothing of what drives people. Many people are disgruntled with how things are handled within the techjamaican community. Similarly to how Jamaicans are disgruntled with what is taken place within the country politically. Based on your logic its wrong for another party to analyze the community, Create their own based on your weakness’s and strength and try  in the best possible way to give users what they need / ask for. So technically one party should reign forever in whatever the field it is they are in.

Your delusional and kind of closed minded. Wake up. I will not stop doing what I’m doing. I’m not trying to be rude to anyone but I just cant seem to fathom what right someone has to tell another to Stop based on the premise of I was doing this first.. if this was the case cable and wireless would still have Jamaica under technological oppression where communications are concerned. If I get banned from a site over this this further proves my point. This is my point of view and I have the FREEDOM to express it if i desire to.

This is Jamaica’s only tech portal it aint no joke, The others stop at being just a forum. The development behind tech.in876.com has been so much fun. The users are great they point out errors and bugs without being in your face rude. n we fix em as hastily as possible. :). I’ve learn a lot of css since starting this hobby project.

WORDPRESS!!!!! one of the best things since slice bread. simple yet effective.
