As you know, I have made Lobby – The localhost OS. I am in the process of adding more and more apps to it. This post explains how I created the Anagram game and the algorithm used for it.

You can download the app from here or search for “Anagram” in the Lobby Store.

The full source code is available on GitHub.

How It Works ?

There is a dictionary file containing many english words. When a user requests for a new puzzle, these happens :

After the release of logSys in May 2014, many have been asking for an admin panel of logSys. It’s finally here. I’m extremely happy to release logSys Admin as an app of Lobby.

You can find the app here on Lobby.

Installation

1. Download & Install Lobby.
2. Open Lobby
3. Open **Lobby Store **and search for “logSys Admin”.
4. Click Install button.

Usage

1. Open App from the Lobby Dashboard and click “Go To Admin” button.
2. Click “Setup logSys Admin” button.

The dashboard page has some quick facts about your users :

Lobby is a new project of mine which was under development for more than a year. I’m proud to release it today with the first version 0.2. Lobby is a localhost Operating System like Android, iOS etc.

What It Is

I’ll explain it to you. There are many OSs in this world. From Ubuntu to Windows to Mac to Android to iOS and so on… Developing an application is tough as you have to port it to different OSs. And the language to develop is also different :

I had to write this post, because I have experienced this a lot.

When something doesn’t work especially with code, the asker won’t say the details. He/she just says it doesn’t work. Then it is the duty of mine to find what doesn’t work.

To simplify things, when you ask please explain :

1. Contents

   • 1 What doesn’t work ?
   • 2 Any Errors ?
   • 3 Code Samples
   • 4 Explain Clearly

</div>

### What doesn&#8217;t work ?

Expected Result vs Actual Result comparison</li> 

  * ### Any Errors ?
    
    Does the compiler or interpreter (as in case of PHP) output any errors. For seeing the errors, you must first enable Error Logging. A sample of the log file would greatly help.</li> 
    
      * ### Code Samples
        
        Have you made any changes to the code which would result in the error ? If so, please post the code using <a href="http://pastebin.com" target="_blank">Pastebin</a> or <a href="http://paste.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Ubuntu Paste</a></li> 
        
          * ### Explain Clearly
            
            The most important thing is to explain clearly about your problem. If you don&#8217;t know English well, say in your own language and translate it using <a href="http://translate.google.com" target="_blank">Google</a> to English.</li> </ol> 
            
            This post will be used as reference when queries are asked that are not able to be understood by me.

It’s been a while since I have written on the blog and there are many reasons for it. I’m writing now because I’m on a vacation for 10 days because of Onam, a festival in Kerala.

Reasons

1. School
2. Bored Life (These days, I’m feeling a repulsion)
3. Busy

I’ll explain :

1. Since I have passed the 10th grade and is in higher secondary education, the stuff to learn increased. Even the though the subjects to learn have reduced to 6, the size of the books increased.

Though I love all the subject that I learn now (Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Maths, English, Malayalam), there is something that prevents me these days to study (Teenage shit ?).

2. Yes, life has become boring. The fire I had 4 years ago (2011) has decreased gradually. Why ? I think it’s because of the tough 10th grade. Also, some teenage problem. There is something that controls me these days, a power which I don’t know. Perhaps this is experienced by everyone of my age (or do they ?).Back in 2011, if I had planned to do something, I had this fire in my mind to do it until I reach it. But, now sometimes I feel that fire, but after some time the repulsion force brings me down. I hope this repulsion force will go soon.
3. I’m so busy these days. School, work and code. GOD ! It’s frustrating.

Plans

I have new plans to achieve and I hope I can do it. I’m going to get back the fire I once had. I will.

Time Zones are important if you’re creating a social app which will include chat, social network and others which is interacted with the society.

There are many time zones and you have to choose one to set in your server. I would totally recommend using UTC instead of your time zone in server.

Web Server and Database server are different and they each have their own configuration. This includes the time zone too. In this short post, I’m going to show how you can set the same time zone in both of these servers.

User ratings are important for your site if you provide downloads of files or run an E-Commerce shop. It is the ratings of other users that tempt your site’s users to buy/download something. So, it is necessary for a site like this to have a Rating System. If you haven’t implemented it yet or want to replace your existing system with a clean one, you’re at the right place.

I give to you, Francium Star : a new member in our Francium Project series. This PHP & JS combined package will provide your site a complete Rating System and it’s very easy to implement.

WebSocket is one of the awesomest part of the HTML5 and we developers should experiment with it as it will be the future of client to server communication.

In a recent post, I made a tutorial of live chat with WebSockets and PHP. It was the basic step into websockets. But, I have created another chat which is more advanced that has the capability to upload images as well as record audio from microphone of the user. It’s somewhat like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.

Hey, all.. it’s been a while since I wrote anything on my blog. Sorry guys, but I was working on a project which will be released soon. 🙂

WYSIWYG editors are used by us all on the web and if we are going to create a site, it’s better if the editor on it is WYSIWYG. There are many text editors, but there are none with a Notebook Paper design. Well, in this post I will guide you in creating a notebook paper with CSS3 and making that paper design into a text editor.

If you are creating a web app and there is conversation to the user without audio and just text, animations and effect will make the app better.

In this short post, I’m introducing a simple text effect without any trouble at all. All it does is animate the text’s font size. But, the effect is like the text is popping up.

Here’s the code. It’s wrapped in a function and you can easily customize it :
