whynotonline.com for your web design, web development, print design, seo, ui development, needs
We are proud to present to you a new plugin for the silverstripe CMS developed by our resident silverstripe expert Nivanka. This is a very useful plugin for developing web sites that have a broader potential viewing public, which is achieved through the use of more than one language.
Unlike other multilingual plugins out there this one is very very easy to use, and build websites with. This plugin allows you to switch between any two languages you prefer. For example you could have a combination of a global language like english,spanish,etc. for the target global audience and a local language like polish, hindi,sinhalese,etc. to cater to a local audience.
We are extremely proud and confident of this plugin and you will soon see our developments using this plugin. We hope that you too will be aided in your online efforts by this plugin.
This plugin is also available at the official silverstripe site :

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to President elect Barack Obama on this momentous occasion of becoming the first african american to become the president of the United States of America.
Even though we are not citizens of the United States of America we have been inspired by President Barack Obama and his story. We too share his vision of singular stories of nations having a shared destiny, "a sense of common purpose" that drives us all, "the spirit of a people YES WE CAN", and most importantly "an unyielding hope" for change towards a better tomorrow for all.
This past Friday the 31st of October Nivanka and Dasun participated on behalf of whynotonline.com in an educational program for underprivileged students in a rural school. The program was conducted in the Vidulipura Maha Vidyalaya . The participating students were from the grades of 10 to 13 who are taking the subject of ICT for their O/L’s and A/L’s. The program was conducted in a highly practical oriented fashion where the students were encouraged to try out building web pages and adding simple functionalities such as hyperlinks. The program was organized by Miss Himali Education Consultant, and Mr. Roshan who is the ICT teacher for the school. Both Nivanka and Dasun were pleasantly surprised at the eagerness, and ability of the students to pick up knowledge quickly allowing the completing of the entire syllabus on html in one day. They also had high praise for Mr. Roshan who cared enough about his students to acknowledge his lack of knowledge in a specific area and then bring in outside help to allow his students the best knowledge; he also showed great humility in sitting with his pupils and learning with them, a true role model for any educator. Whynotonline.com will engage in other programs like this in the very near future with the goal of bringing the students of the rural areas the same opportunities students in the townships take for granted.

Lorem Ipsum I dont think that there are web designers who are not aware about that text. Almost every web designer use that text to make up their templates. I used that too but I didnt know the meaning of it until yesterday though, what I only new is that it is Latin. Yesterday while I was having a chat with my colleagues I asked about this and we searched on the internet. Until then I just thought that they are some words just nothing more than that.
If you are not still aware here is the lorem ipsum
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."
I read that this text has been used as a dummy text from 1500s, and one unknown printer has used it first and thereafter all sort of publishers, designers make use of it to add some text contents to there designs.
I found the meaning of the text too...
1914 translation by H. Rackham
"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
I got all these information from http://www.lipsum.com/. Better go there and have a read too...
