Sometimes, i seriously need a break from writing code, surfing in internet, dealing with the work staff or the relationship staff. And when i feel like drawning in a bag like a cat (there was a suser who uses this nick i suppose) i visit these sites and i check these comics, they make me laugh and reminds me that everything will be ok someday… I just wanted to share all these here, so when you feel bad or just miss someone that you know you won’t be able to see again, these will be distractions…

Typing Maniac – A typing game (very addicted and my final level is 22 with 464.236 points).

Photo Bomb One of the funniest web site i’ve ever visited. They publish funny pictures all over the world. The bomb, the photos! Check titles with the images, they became more and more funny.

Chat Roulette If you haven’t visited them already, you should do it right now.

Oddly SpesificFunny Signs all over the world. I can’t believe what people put as a sign! Check titles with the images, they became more and more funny.

And this is the comic which i wrote above…

Have you ever heard about chatroulette? It’s a web page that you can chat with different people on the planet on webcam. It became so popular in these months. So you can always find someone online.
You can see it one of the latest episodes of south park with a great quote:
“This is the way the world works: if you want to find some quality friends, you have to wade through all the dicks first.”

Anyway, there is a new page for the weird chat quotes and the screenshots from chatroulette: http://chatroulette.tumblr.com/ i strongly advice you to visit this place.

(It contains nudity but also it’s so funny too).

There are some links provided by Irfan Uygur. Irfan is a brilliant web programmer with great collector skills. He collects and saves links, pdf’s, articles and anythink he likes on web. And he saves them on his hard drive with the program treePad with good descriptions. When i need something, before googling it, i ask him. This is why he gets angry usually but when i think overall, it’s a fair price for such great information

Here are great gallery links made with jquery (i asked İrfan about vertical carousel)

jParallax – jParallax turns a selected element into a ‘window.’ Through this window you can see a number of absolutely positioned layers. The layers move in response to the mouse, giving a parallax effect. The parallax effect was utilized on the popular Silverback application website last year.

Illuminated letters – This plugin lets you add a decorative drop cap to your text. The drop caps are images provided in a zip file with the plugin. I imagine it would be reasonably straightforward to replace the provided images with your own letter images if you wanted to use a different style. – http://www.openstudio.fr/Des-enluminures-avec-jQuery.html?lang=en
