Just recently, facebook has their new layout design which providing more usability design to user. Where it have better user experience on the web 2.0 layout. Try it out now www.new.facebook.com

Enhanced ASP.NET Tree View with JQuery
Jul 20th
Recently I come across to a project which required a tree view with some ASP.NET control to be attach with some tree view node. The default ASP.NET treeview doesn’t provide this feature and there is no way to extending the default tree view. Therefore, I decided to write a composite control from scratch.
The purpose of this control is to allow user to input control such as Button, Drop Down List, Radio Button List, Radio Button, List Box, Check Box List, Check Box and TextBox into each row of tree view. Additionally, I used JQuery assisting this tree view’s behavior of Collapse and Expand.
Result of this Extend Tree View as below:
Click here to see action in video:extend-tree-view
Example of the picture above showing the tree consisting 2 root with 1 level of sub-tree. Let’s see on “TICKET” root, there is a label with drop down list. This enabling user to check on “TICKET” and there is an input control allowing user to select which “TICKET” type (just an example scenario).
To begin with using the this tree, just drag and drop this tree view control from your sidebar or you can code as below:
Attached with this post the source code of this composite control with a demo web project: Download source code here

Hellboy II – The Golden Army
Jul 13th
I didn’t watch Hellboy first episode, so I not know what story running on Hellboy first episode. Me and my wife went to TGV One Utama for this movie. Actually I don’t like to watch movie with TGV instead of GSC due to its seat is very compact space to put my leg and the room kind of oldish.
Overview rating:
This red guy Hellboy is a very funny guy, he love to sing and showing off whenever he is on mission. With his super gun, he could defeat anyone especially when he is on fighting with “God of Forest”.
The graphic effect and animation is very nice as well especially on when he is fighting with “The Golden Army”.
You shouldn’t miss this good movie.
