Cool Resignation Letter

Dear HR MANAGER NAME,

Please accept this letter as my formal notice of resignation from COMPANY NAME, effective DATE. The associations I’ve made during my employment here will truly be memorable for years to come.

The feeling is mixed as this the first company that provided me with a platform to help me find what I am, by giving me the right opportunity. Even though this should be a formal letter I cannot help to express my gratitude and feelings by a simple poem :

I love This Job
But I have to Go
Because I have Got Something
Which I cant Ignore

I Aimed for the Sky
I got the Stars
And I Saw the World Beyond
That I want to Explore

This isn’t for Money, this isn’t my Greed
This isn’t about People that make me Crib
But this is about the Dreams I have always had
A flick of Hope that makes me Mad

I am Upset, I feel Sad
To leave the World I created from Scratch
But now is the age to take more Risk
And this is the Opportunity I could not Miss


Separation will be Painful that’s what it Seems
For I would miss the Boss and the Entire Team
Our Relationship is Eternal and the world is small
And I would be in touch with One and All

I hope 2 weeks notice is sufficient for arranging new employee as my replacement. I can train the new employee during my notice period. Also I am available to tie up any loose ends if there is need of it.

Thank you very much for providing golden opportunity to be part of your organization.

Sincerely,

NAME,
DESIGNATION
COMPANY NAME

Blog posts in website

We can get blog posts of our  blogs into our websites. It easier than i thought. What you need is your blog id. You can get blog id by visiting your blog dashboard and add new posts, then look into the URL, you will get a blog-id.

The code is given below



<?php
function objectsIntoArray($arrObjData, $arrSkipIndices = array())
{
    $arrData = array();
   
    // if input is object, convert into array
    if (is_object($arrObjData)) {
        $arrObjData = get_object_vars($arrObjData);
    }
   
    if (is_array($arrObjData)) {
        foreach ($arrObjData as $index => $value) {
            if (is_object($value) || is_array($value)) {
                $value = objectsIntoArray($value, $arrSkipIndices); // recursive call
            }
            if (in_array($index, $arrSkipIndices)) {
                continue;
            }
            $arrData[$index] = $value;
        }
    }
    return $arrData;
}

$blogDetails = file_get_contents('http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7082666587974105933/posts/default');

Google Swiffy

Hi friends,

Yesterday Google introduced a new product in their labs(Google labs). It looks awesome. Swiffy will convert all the swf flash files to HTML5 equivalent, which support all the modern browsers. It may not support IE as of now ( I need to verify it).This version of Swiffy will not convert all the flash contents, but will be very useful in converting all the Flash advertisements in our websites.

Swiffy uses JSON for it's animation, which can be rendered using SVG, HTML5 and CSS3. All the actionscript are rendered as JSON objects and is interpreted as javascript in the browser.


Pieter Senster, is the brain behind this awesome product.

You can see some of the examples of Swiffy from here http://swiffy.googlelabs.com/gallery.html

Google Scribe

I would like to introduce you a new Google product for SEO purposes, called the Google Scribe. Why do we use scribe? Now google started to look at spelling and grammar of the content they index and Scribe is the best way to rectify  all the spelling and grammar mistakes.

The googe scribe is still at Google labs. You can try it and "Submit Product Ideas". Google Scribe uses wonderful auto suggestion. On the left side of the toolbar you will see an option to select multiple suggestions. There is an option to add automatic anchor text for a link. In the new Google Scribe, they will show some suggestions for us to select.

The most wonderful thing about the Google Scribe is that it can be used in our website and we can create content using it. To activate the Google Scribe in your web, you have to  use the Scribe Bookmarklet.
