Password strength meter in Javascript
Apr 27th
Well, unlike the normal ones that gives you a strength meter that goes from green to red indicating your password strength. This one gives you the time it would take for a normal PC to crack your password. The password strength meter is called ChronoStrength
For example mine.
This comes as a standalone javascript or as a JQuery plugin, so it is very easy to use. You can download the source code here. This code is created by smallhadroncollider.
Twitter shutting down basic authentication
Apr 25th
On June 30 2010, the @twitterapi team will shut down their basic authentication API, making OAuth their primary way to connect to Twitter application.
Twitter also provides a count down here with a screenshot:
Basically, connecting using OAuth provides better security than giving away username and password to a third party. OAuth provides connectivity to the Twitter API without giving away sensitive information.
There will be a lot of noise in the next few weeks or so (it’s only around 9 weeks away till OAuthcalypse as they call it) as a LOT of developers will be switching to OAuth before their time runs out.

Yep, with just some web html/css/javascript knowledge you can create iPhone application. No joke! just trick.

I’m doing stuffs with it and I’d say I’m really impressed.
It can even store stuffs on your iPhone for offline viewing. Superb!
Note that I’ll be fiddling with this JQuery plugin in the next week or so, so you may expect some reviews and More >
Validate a simple form using JQuery
Apr 23rd
This is a way to validate a form using simple JQuery. Why re-invent the wheel when there’s so many type of wheels to choose from? and also, for sometimes, we are just lazy to find the best wheel possible for our project. What I’m trying to do here is not to spoon feed you the code, but to provide a simple and straight forward guide to very simple validation. I love simplicity
Let’s get straight to business! View it in action here.
