Bug: Today one of my friends sent me a screen shot of a major bug encountered while opening http://sprintask.vibgy.com in IE6. It’s a javascript error.
Cause: There is timer which removes the red label directing new users to help. When the timer times out, it calls a function. Inside this function, new object variable is created for the div container containing the anchor link image. Then it tries to remove the 2nd child node of the container. It succeeds in chrome and firefox, because while rendering both of them create 2 child nodes inside the div container. But IE creates only one child. So trying to remove the 2nd child fails.
Fix: Instead of trying to remove the child of the container, I created another object for the parent of the container. And then removed the container itself from its parent.
I also removed an ugly outline coming around the red label in Firefox and IE.

Sprintask Error Fixed
Bug: When the task details are added to the white area, the month was showing 1 for Feb, which should be 2.
Cause: In javascript getMonth() function returns a number representing the month starting from 0 to 11. But this is not how we understand month.
Fix: Put getMonth()+1 in the script

By now you probably would be familiar about iPad. Its a new product line introduced by Apple in Tablet PC industry. Simply put, its a jumbo version of iPhone. It won’t fit inside your shirt pocket, but you can carry it where ever you carry a diary/notepad/journal/planner. For a digital artist, how helpful this technological innovation can be? Let’s assess the possibilities:

It has been a long time since Sprintask has been released. Though it has been an hobbyist project, I’ve used it extensively for my own purpose and found it very effective in tracking time in different tasks.
After collecting many recommendations from the users (mostly my friends), I started to develop a new version of Sprintask. In few days I’m planning to release the beta version of it. So stay tuned for the all new Sprintask for you.
Sprintask has been launched with minimal features. One feature which I really wanted to do before uploading was the ability to login. I may need couple of weekends to finish it. I want to give a new verb name for what you do in sprintask.vibgy.com. How about you sprintask in sprintask.vibgy.com?
Sprintask Launch
Open the link http://sprintask.vibgy.com and click on the gray colored bar to start with. It turns yellow to show its editable now. Type in an activity/task you are doing and press enter. Now it turns green marking that you’ve started doing that particular activity. A new gray bar is added to add new tasks. After sometime when you want to stop the current activity, just click on the green bar. It turns red marking the sprintask has been stopped. Use the whitearea (which shows ‘current chunk time taken’, ‘total time taken’, ‘end time’, ‘start time’, ‘task description’) to take reports. Simply copy it and paste in a spreadsheet to get fancy charts. Play along by adding new sprintasks, starting and stopping them. Have fun and become more productive.
Post your comments and recommendations in this blog post to improve the tool. Happy sprintasking…
I was checking out various solutions for digital sketching/painting. The brand which caught my eye was the Wacom range of digital sketching products. Out of all their products, Cintiq interactive pen display seemed to be the premium tool for a digital artist. The price range is Rs.70,000 for a 12 inch pad and Rs.156,000 for a 21 inch pad.
