Recently, I came across Alex Girón‘s experiment with CSS3 and @font-face. It really captivated my mind and intrigued myself with the possibility of creating good banners with just some html code and css attributes. So I quickly fixed up my own experiment to satisfy my curiosity.

The idea was to spread a list of square boxes behind a random quote. So I decided to use an ul list and style each li to random width boxes and spread even more sparsely. Then I used a function to color them with varying intensity and creamed on it more transparency using the opacity attribute. Some -*-transform and a good font substitution was in line until I was almost there.

View it here. Make sure to refresh it until you say, “Its cool!”. :)

Download from an imageboard using LF

This is an exclusive preview of an LF project.

LF, Liquid Fusion was a concept introduced late last year.  It has gone 3 years of rigorous development and is now the state-of-the-art programming platform that can revolutionize your programming concepts.

I had introduced LF briefly in my blog earlier but this time i have got an actual project to show you. One of the countless number of features of LF is the data manipulation from a web browser. Take for example, an imageboard. Simply stating, an imageboard is a forum that concentrates on images. What about it? You may ask. Often people  may need a software to download all the  images from a forum, a blog or even Flickr. What do you do? Hacking is not a friendly option. But  we sure can manipulate their data through the browser. LF add this feature where you can download the entire images from  an imageboard within seconds.

The interface is pretty primitive, but it was made in 5 minutes. It was used to download 350 images from different categories automatically. The concept is simple. Take the image from the browser cache. The LF program on the other hand ran into 4 lines. Woah! Pretty cool right? That interface you see is an HTML page in the LF browser. Amazing!
