GMail Drive shell extension March 16, 2005
Posted by Slobodan Kovacevic in : Resources and Links , add a commentWhen GMail appeared almost instantly there was a Linux program that enabled you to mount your GMail account as 1GB drive on your local system.
Today I stumbled upon same kind of program, but for Windows. If is called GMail Drive shell extension and it will make your GMail account act as ordinary storage medium. You can do all normal stuff, like drag&drop, copy, make folders…
Although this tool works perfectly author states that there are some limitations, as well that changes at GMail might either block use of this program or make it temporary “broken”.
Disable form submit on enter keypress March 13, 2005
Posted by Slobodan Kovacevic in : Programming , comments closedI needed a JavaScript function that disables form submission when enter key is pressed. I’ve looked around and all solutions worked only in IE and I needed it to work in FireFox as well.
Finally after some more reading I found a solution how it can be done. Here is the function that I created:
function disableEnterKey(e)
{
var key;
if(window.event)
key = window.event.keyCode; //IE
else
key = e.which; //firefox
if(key == 13)
return false;
else
return true;
}
</script>
All you need to do is to add onKeyPress event to, for example, text element and call this function. Something like this:
define: ArrayStudio August 3, 2004
Posted by Slobodan Kovacevic in : ArrayStudio News , add a commentWe often get asked why we are called ArrayStudio and what’s the semantic of our name. Maybe Google has the answer to this question.
With Google’s not-so-new service instead of making usual search you are able to ask Google to define any word. You can do it easily by typing following into Google search box:
If you trust Google regarding our name you could conclude that ArrayStudio is an orderly arrangement of workplaces where an art is practiced and taught or an orderly arrangement in a place where art is practiced.
ArrayStudio - an array of art practitioners. Obviously Google is right. 
The Golden Ratio Equals 1.61803399.. : Intro May 12, 2004
Posted by Predrag in : Web Design , 9 commentsHave you ever heard of the Golden ratio? If you were studying mathematics you heard of it as something like this:
Yeah, it is irrational number. Not cool at all, I know. Why on EARTH I mentioned it here?? Please read the following..
The Golden Mean or Phi and the Golden Ratio abound in nature and perhaps humanity has been genetically programmed to recognize the ratio as being pleasing.
Try to create an artwork by following the Golden Ratio rule and then create exactly the same thing, but in different ratio and ask your friends and other people which one they like best. You will be suprised.
Further in time, I will upload here some stuff and comments considering this issue.
More interesting stuff about the Golden Ratio you can find in Photography e-Book: The Golden Ratio.

BASIC celebrates 40th Birthday
Posted by Slobodan Kovacevic in : News , add a commentAt 4 a.m. on May 1, 1964 BASIC has been born and marked beginning of personal computing. Year before (1963) two Dartmouth’s College professors, Thomas Kurtz and John Kemeny, had an idea to create computer language that would be easy to use, but strong enough to make use of ‘63 computers - that idea produced BASIC.
Many of today’s computer languages have roots in BASIC most notable is Visual Basic (which obviously has similar name), but also some other languages such as Java use same principles like original BASIC.
You can read more about BASIC birthday in an article: BASIC Computer Language Turns 40. In addition, you might want to look at Wikipedia entry on BASIC.
PHP Sessions and security April 19, 2004
Posted by Slobodan Kovacevic in : PHP , add a commentChris Shiflett wrote an article on the topic of PHP sessions and ways to implement secure sessions or at least more secure then ordinary PHP session mechanism. Article is called “The Truth about Sessions” and has been published in PHP Magazine. It can be useful both for novice and experienced programmers because it starts with session and HTTP basics and ends up with discussion on session problems and possible solutions. If you are considering creating more secure site you will find this article useful.
Time Machine April 13, 2004
Posted by Slobodan Kovacevic in : ArrayStudio News , add a commentRecently we were going through some old backup CDs and, as you probably know, you can find some strange things there (especially after over 10 years of programming and web development). Anyway, we have stumbled on old versions of Array Studio site and that sparkled idea that we should make an Array Studio Time Machine. In Time Machine section of our site we would conserve all previous versions of our site.
Currently there are two old versions in Array Studio Time Machine one dating from 2002 and second from middle of 2003.
In addition to our Time Machine, you might find it interesting to see Array Studio site on Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
