JasperReports jQuery plugin

Well, I just found an experimental plugin I was working on a few weeks ago. It’s a jQuery plugin that aims to draw any JasperReports file in Canvas. It’s on a very early stage, but you can play around with it. Fork on Github!

jQuery Clock plugin

Hi there! Long time no see :)

Today I published a small jQuery plugin inspired in the QLOCKTWO. You can check out the demo over here or just get the code on Github.

I’m now thinking in building a real one with my Arduino and some RGB LEDs I have laying around! :)

Invictus

“Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”

William Ernest Henley

Make a decision

It doesn’t have to be a wise decision or a perfect one. Just make one.

In fact, make several. Make more decisions could be your three word mantra.

No decision is a decision as well, the decision not to decide. Not deciding is usually the wrong decision. If you are the go-to person, the one who can decide, you’ll make more of a difference. It doesn’t matter so much that you’re right, it matters that you decided.

Of course it’s risky and painful. That’s why it’s a rare and valuable skill.

Crisis

“No pretendamos que las cosas cambien si siempre hacemos lo mismo. 
La crisis es la mejor bendición que puede sucederle a personas y países, porque las crisis traen progresos.

La creatividad nace de la angustia como el día nace de la noche oscura. Es en la crisis que nace la inventiva, los descubrimientos y las grandes estrategias. Quien supera la crisis, se supera a sí mismo sin quedar superado.

En tiempo de crisis la imaginación es más efectiva que el intelecto.” 

Albert Einstein
