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.

Get User Name.

This is a small but useful code to get the user’s login name from the system.Whenever we make windows apps.It is always not good in addressing the user as guest,user etc.Try..for example this code and address them by the name of what they have logged on.
‘…………Declarations…………………………………………………..

Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib “Advapi32″ Alias “GetUserNameA” (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long

‘…………Function…………………………………………………..

Public Function GetLoginName() As Boolean
Dim s_LoginName as string
s_LoginName = String(20, Chr(0))
GetLoginName = GetUserName(s_LoginName, 20)
End Function

Hope this code will be of great use.
