ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CEO Janis Volbergs gave a well received presentation at a UI/UX meetup event to talk about the array of progressive ZoomCharts features available today and the great things the team is coming up with for the near future.
Check out this overview of Volbergsâ presentation to discover why ZoomCharts is a world leader in interactive data visualization software:
The name of our product is ZoomCharts, and what we are producing is ZoomCharts SDK, which is the worldâs most interactive data software. We are a new startup established in Latvia just last year. The product, since March of this year, is available for purchase and has been purchased by many different customers from all over the world. The actual product is entirely new data visualization software development GIT, which puts in the center not the technology, but the person sitting behind the device that every one of us has in the pockets; users of mobile phones, users of iPads.
We wanted to make such a development toolkit that would allow developers to create interfaces that make it easy to access data, to analyze data, to interact with data. We are not a library that lets you create a chart, we are a library that lets you create an interface that then engages the user into an immersive, interactive data exploration venture.
To give you an idea of what sort of visualizations you can achieve using our development kit, we have products like the network chart. The network chart lets you visualize different networks of data, whether they are social networks, whether they are Internet of things networks. All of that you can visualize on any device you have, basically, whether itâs an iPhone, iPad, notebook, or touch TV. The interactive time chart lets you access big data with time and explore what happens within specific areas of that data without using any other interface component. We have also reinvented the pie chart and the facet chart.
What makes our SDK unique? First of all, itâs built to make data navigation engaging, so it wonât be just a boring chart or boring interface. It will be interesting for people to actually use your software that would include a ZoomCharts application. We also know that most of you like the performance of the application, so we put a lot of effort in creating this development kit such that it will be super nice looking and super fast on most contemporary devices. We have also added different aspects of how you can visualize different data in a compelling way. And for those of you who already have some applications or products, ZoomCharts helps you sell your product because when we show our products to actual consumers, when they see the interface built with ZoomCharts, they love it, and they can immediately see how they can use it for other purposes. So basically, what we are doing with ZoomCharts is accelerating the emergence of new ideas that couldnât have been done yesterday because there wasnât such development yet available.
I could talk a lot about it, but itâs better to show you some real life examples of how we have applied ZoomCharts to tackle some of the issues in the real world. With a product called myinstabank, the Internet account statements show a long boring list, and when you need to see the big picture, you just canât. All you get is just a list. Normally you would just use the export option to make some Excel charts. We found that we could use our interface to give all this information another meaning in the hands of users. We applied our charts to the already existing data within the Internet banks.
What we have here is a time chart. It shows you data aggregated by timestamps. So if you have any data that has timestamps, you can use the time chart. The picture is where most of the chart libraries end; it is the end product of their libraries. In our case, the chart is just the beginning of your venture because now letâs imagine you wanted to see what happened in the year 2012. What do you have to do? One click. You just click on it, and immediately the chart communicates with the banking database, retrieves more data for that period, and immediately aggregates data. No more dropdowns where you have to pick specific dates or unintuitive actions. The rest of the interface then responds to the time period you have selected. The list is there, but now itâs filtered for that one year you just selected. If you need some other information, just one click, and the interface is communicating back to the server and fetching data. Speaking about the pie charts, they immediately show you where your money is coming from, and how you spent your money. All our charts are interactive, so you can click on any slice to filter out the time chart. I said before that we have reinvented certain aspects of the pie chart and one of the key aspects that we have reinvented is, normally if you have a pie chart, you have a grey area that says âothersâ and you never know whatâs inside there. Well, we have fixed that problem. Just one click and it automatically expands. So now, using one pie chart, you can explore all the data.
All of this is interactive, so on iPad, you can use gestures to swipe in, swipe out, do all sorts of things. All charts come bundled with extensive API, which means that you can combine these charts with other JavaScript components that exist within your application to create an interface and an experience to your user that you are looking forward to. The time chart is big data ready because it comes with a very smart data cache and if you attach it to the data sources that handle a lot of data, whenever you do some navigation, it automatically reflects only data for that particular period of time, so there is no unnecessary data being fetched from your servers. Thus, you keep the loads small, the interface fluid, and the overall experience very nice.
One of the very unique products that we have within ZoomCharts is the network chart component. The network chart component lets you visualize different social, financial and other network structures directly within your device. In this particular example, what we did is fetch a subset of the IMDb database to show you how you can use the network chart to visualize information that is already there but in a totally different way. So imagine you get home and you would like to see a new movie but you are not really sure what you want to look for. You know that you like Al Pacino, so what you do is type in âAl Pacinoâ and immediately you see the actor and the top movies of his. This is the point where your joy of data exploration begins. With a single tap, you can explore what other actors are involved in that particular movie. And you can continue this exploration until you find content that youâd be happy to consume. What is good here is this moment of trust because you started with Al Pacino, you trust that person, you love movies with him, and now you can see that there is Andy Garcia that is linked to him. So you think, âhmm, if I like Al Pacino, they are linked in this movie together, maybe thatâs something worth watching today.â With a right click, you can instantly access more information about the movie, and watch a trailer or buy the movie. So what Iâm saying here is, using ZoomCharts as a core component of visual interface, you can let people discover your content, find something they like, and also buy it or consume it. So itâs not just seeing the big picture, but itâs interacting and consuming. And all of this is happening within one interface.
In the next year, weâre also thinking about expanding the charts to let cross device communication, which would mean that you would go home, take your iPad, open up this software, and when you find a movie that you want to watch, you would click âbuyâ or âwatchâ, and it would start playing on your TV. So, devices would be cross linked through using the ZoomCharts interface.
This chart comes with extensive API so you can apply different filters to the data. For instance, in this particular example, we have applied this IMDb filter here, so if youâre really are not looking at anything below 9, you can click on 9 and see that there are not that many movies within this subset. If you are not that kind of person, you can put the star limit to something smaller, and movies appear.
Another interesting aspect is the time machine within which you can filter out movies that are very old, or on the other hand, you can focus on movies that are contemporary. All of that can be easily configured for your application, for your customers, for your product, as you need it. You can style any aspect of your charts with pictures line, arrows.
Many companies, among which is Hewlett-Packard from the United States have already found usage for their cloud solutions to visualize all sorts of different things.
If you go to our webpage you can see other examples of ways you can use our charts. Our charts can be cross combined in very interesting ways. What you see here is Juliaâs social network and who her friends are. You can play around with the network and expand and see what other people are there in real time, but when you click again on Julia, a pie chart pops up and says what social networks Julia is using most. So in this user interface, we are already combining a lot of data that is easily accessible with just a few taps. And it doesnât stop there. So, she loves Facebook. We can click on Facebook, and the second level of the pie chart comes up. There can be unlimited levels. The second level shows which tags she is using within that social network. So now we know that Julia loves Facebook, and within Facebook, she loves to talk about love. Another thing you can do is click on Love, and you get this interactive time chart that says when exactly she is talking about love on Facebook.
In the close future, in a year or two, we are looking forward to integrating support for a number of new human-machine interfaces that are emerging. We are also looking forward to integrating voice control into our charts so you can easily zoom in, zoom out or do other sorts of navigational things.
There are many new chart types coming up, such as the GeoChart, which will let you easily put those interactive pie charts on a map so you can display different statistics for people within one chart.
We are also looking forward to creating a bunch of cloud services that would enable cross chart communication on the one hand, and other things that Iâm not really allowed to tell you now, but there will be some big things that you will hear about.
What is good is availability. As I mentioned before, the software is already available to download on our webpage. You can easily get a 30 day free trial to just play around with it. We are giving away free licenses also for non commercial projects, for students, for charities. But if you have a commercial project you would still need to obtain a developer license.

By day I design software user interfaces. We were hired by Microsoft late last year to build a sample application that would show off their new development platform and tool set. Ultimately they cared most about the quality of our code, since this was for a developer audience, but we worked equally hard at coming up with a cool subject (genealogy/family history), and designing all of the visualizations and interactivity around it.
Anyway, we have a version ready and I thought I would share it here in case anybody was into genealogy/family history ( or would like to be). If you have a PC, you can download this app from our website and try it out. I'd love to hear what you think of it :-)

Membrane switches are simply a part of electronic equipment, and are often regarded as user interfaces or human-machine interfaces, making it easier for operators to input communications and commands to operate electronic equipment, making users more convenient. Membrane switch can also be called membrane panel. Membrane keypad or membrane keyboard is an electrical switch that can make the circuit turn on or off by changing the key pressure. Generally composed of Polyester, Lexan, Polycarbonate, adhesive, snap dome, connector, conductive inks, carbon ink or copper flex circuit.

What can Niceone-tech could do?
Niceone-tech customized membrane switches for different customers are widely used in various industries, empower exceptional product design for other man-machine interface solutions.
Membrane switch constantly updates and upgrades its technology, and its durability is gradually improved. Because of its superior performance and affordable price. As a reliable human-machine interface, it is increasingly favored by home, office and industrial applications.
Niceone-tech strictly customizes products in accordance with ISO9001-2015, and invests a lot of money every year to develop the technology of the membrane switch to improve the added value of products such as performance, life and function. Our membrane switches are exported in large quantities to European and American countries with stable quality and affordable prices. Niceone-tech understands the standards of European and American countries, so the products are always able to meet and exceed customer expectations.
What are the functions and advantages of membrane switches?
The reason why the membrane switch is widely used is because of some very superior performances. It can fulfill various requirements of users, from industrial equipment to medical equipment.
Moisture-proof performance: Because the membrane switch uses a good pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the stable performance of Polyester, Lexan, Polycarbonate one of the materials together. Membrane switch can be designed to meet NEMA 4 and IP 67, some products can even reach IP68.
Thin: First, it is not easy to be invaded by dust, and secondly, it reduces the space of the product.
Easy to clean: Membrane switches are easier to clean the surface than other mechanical keyboards.
Cost-effective: Compared with touch keyboard and silicone rubber keyboard, membrane switch cost will be more affordable.
Graphic interface: The topmost panel of the membrane switch can be the most conventional screen printing or digital printing. Niceone-tech can design the product to achieve the best visual effect. At the same time display the company logo and key functions on the panel
Protection by design- through the design of membrane switches can achieve antibacterial, anti-ultraviolet and other effects.
Why use the membrane keypad made by Niceone-tech?
Niceone-tech can customize products that are perfect and best suited to customer requirements according to customer needs. In order to let you know how the best and most suitable membrane switch is produced, we must talk about its structure:
1. Overlay-Polyester is usually the first choice for membrane switch panel materials, because its life will be a little longer than Polycarbonate. If it is simply a panel instead of a membrane switch, Lexan and Polyester are also good choices. Overlay is the most intuitive form of human-machine interface. Niceone-tech will screen print or digital print on the back of the material, and they can also be used in combination. Special requirements such as mirror silver effect are also feasible.
2. Overlay adhesive-As the first layer of adhesive paper under the panel, Acrylic adhesive is usually used, generally the thickness is between 0.125-0.225mm. If it is LGF membrane switch (to LGF membrane switch) structure, the thickness sometimes reaches 0.64mm.
3. Top Circuit Layer (Dome retainer): This layer usually has three functions: 1. As the Dome Retainer, it ensures that the Snap dome of the circuit layer will not form shrapnel movement due to triggering and closing, resulting in circuit failure and circuit wear. 2. Use 0.1-0.125mm Polyester printing conductive ink, carbon oil and UV ink as the upper line. This layer structure can also be convex to make tactile feedback better. 3. Can be used as ESD shielding layer.
4. Circuit Spacer (switch spacer): Both upper and lower lines are printed with conductive ink, usually thicker tape is used to separate the upper and lower lines to avoid direct conduction of the membrane switch. If the upper circuit is only used as a fixed layer, then the general thickness of Overlay adhesive + Top Circuit Layer + Lower Circuit Layer should be greater than 0.4mm, otherwise the panel will squeeze the shrapnel to make the feel worse. Unless the panel is convex, the four-layer structure is less than 0.4mm.
5. Lower Circuit Layer: The thickness of this layer circuit is usually 0.1-0.188mm. It can be printed with ink, carbon oil and UV ink. LEDs can also be installed. Some membrane switch panels will choose copper flex or Printing circuit Board as the circuit. Compared with Polyester, their performance will be more stable. More often applied to the medical and military industries. If it is copper flex or Printing circuit Board as a line, Niceone-tech can even install a variety of components on the line.
6. Rear Adhesive: There are many choices, but the most commonly used are 3M200MP series or 3M300LSE. According to the different products of membrane switch lamination, Niceone-tech will recommend 3M300LSE if it needs higher viscosity.
7. Rigid Support Layer: This layer structure is generally used as the last layer of the membrane switch, which can make the structure of the membrane switch component more complete. Usually the choice of materials are AL, FR4, PC or steel. If AL is selected, nuts or feet may sometimes be added to the back of the product.

Backlighting Membrane Switch with Side-LEDs
Many working environments and machines will be used in low light or dark conditions. At this time, the customer asked us if we could solve this problem. At this time we will recommend the use of membrane switches with internal lighting. Choose EL film as the light guide plate, Fiber Optics, and the newer Light guide film (LGF) structure. Niceone-tech recommends LGF, which uses side LEDs and light guide panels to make the product have lower loss and longer life relative to EL membrane switch. Also available in different colors.
The thickness of the LGF membrane switch provided by Niceone-tech can even be 0.8mm. The brightness of buttons and logos is not only uniform and long-lasting, but more importantly, we can also make them illuminate each button individually. Sometimes you can also use two-color or RGB three-color lights to enter
One step makes the product more beautiful.
*If the customer wants the product to be more novel and beautiful, then we can sometimes use Epoxy in combination with the keys. Makes it an Epoxy LGF membrane switch
If you are interested in Backlit Membrane Switch, please feel free to contact Niceone-tech, we will send samples as soon as possible.
There are three other types of illuminating membrane switches below.
Fiber Optics
Fiber optic membrane switches are also a good choice for backlighting. The optical fiber material is very thin and can be used as a fixed layer of the membrane switch. At the same time, tactile feedback is better without adding a touch point. Life expectancy is up to 50,000 to 100,000 hours. The main light source is from LEDs
Through the optical fiber transmission in the membrane switch needs to light up. And can be larger than the surface-mounted LED backlight area. Click Fiber Optics membrane switch for more information.
Electroluminescent (EL)
EL backlight is driven by high frequency and low power. EL is very thin, it is a substitute for traditional lighting technology, and is widely used in various electronic accessories. The life of EL backlight products mainly depends on the driving voltage, frequency, temperature and humidity. But most EL membrane switches can reach a life of 4000 hours or more. The brightness of the EL membrane switch will attenuate linearly from the initial power-on. This is also an unavoidable disadvantage relative to other backlight membrane switch panels.
The EL backlit membrane switch provided by Niceone-tech will not cause heat, electricity and EMI problems. Mainly EL is more often a "cold" lighting medium.
LEDs
A common Light Emitting Diodes membrane switch with relatively low cost. Since this technology membrane switch cannot meet the lighting of a large area, it is mostly used for indication purposes. It is a relatively old technology. But the service life is long and deep customers love it.
Common design：
*Graphic overlays digitally and/or screen printed on the backside. The effect can be customized according to your requirements including glass, metal, wood, and stone. If the panel is in a more severe environment, we can even use hardened glass and stainless steel as the panel material. It is very important to choose Overlay printing according to requirements.
*The window needs raw materials to be transparent, frosted, transparent or colored. The window of the membrane switch is different, and the choice of materials is also very different. When the window is large, and it is required to clearly see the bottom LCD or touch screen. EBG series is a good choice, the material is scratch resistant. If it is just a panel, then PC or Lexan overlay is also feasible
*Selective textures and UV hard-coat surface finishes
*Tactile or non tactile, snap dome or non snap dome.
*Pillow rim-embossed membrane switch panels
*Optically clear adhesive(OCA)，Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive，Air Gap
*EMI/RFI shielding
*Rigid support backers such as aluminum and FR4 with PEM mounting fasteners
*Standard connectors such as CJT, Nicomatic and molex, etc.
Niceone-tech's custom-designed membrane switches and membrane switch keypads. Membrane switches are used in many industries. Niceone-tech summarizes several best membrane switch industries:
1. Medical Equipment and laboratories are the major markets. Niceone-tech provides customized membrane switches with complex requirements for many European and American manufacturers. In the medical environment, based on the standard membrane keypad, the materials sometimes have antibacterial effects and easy cleaning characteristics. At the same time Niceone-tech applies backlit and glue technology to the membrane switch. It can even be produced using digital printing.
2. Industrial Controls Because industrial equipment is more demanding moisture resistance and UV resistance, so the product's waterproof requirements and UV resistance performance requirements are relatively high. The choice of materials can refer to the membrane switch design guide, I believe that the materials compiled by Niceone-tech can help you.
3. Health & Fitness Equipment Because it is often corroded by sweat, salt and moisture, the material must be resistant to corrosion. Membrane switches are often used in treadmills. Using membrane switches to optimize performance and control is very important for fitness personnel.

Something that would look more consistent with iTunes "workflow". As a preference, displaying Genre, or Playlist, or both, in the first column of the browser could make navigation way simpler in my opinion. You would have "Grouping" > Artists > Albums, and song in the main view (in grid view right now, but it should handle list view too).

ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CEO Janis Volbergs gave a well received presentation at a UI/UX meetup event to talk about the array of progressive ZoomCharts features available today and the great things the team is coming up with for the near future.
Check out this overview of Volbergsâ presentation to discover why ZoomCharts is a world leader in interactive data visualization software:
The name of our product is ZoomCharts, and what we are producing is ZoomCharts SDK, which is the worldâs most interactive data software. We are a new startup established in Latvia just last year. The product, since March of this year, is available for purchase and has been purchased by many different customers from all over the world. The actual product is entirely new data visualization software development GIT, which puts in the center not the technology, but the person sitting behind the device that every one of us has in the pockets; users of mobile phones, users of iPads.
We wanted to make such a development toolkit that would allow developers to create interfaces that make it easy to access data, to analyze data, to interact with data. We are not a library that lets you create a chart, we are a library that lets you create an interface that then engages the user into an immersive, interactive data exploration venture.
To give you an idea of what sort of visualizations you can achieve using our development kit, we have products like the network chart. The network chart lets you visualize different networks of data, whether they are social networks, whether they are Internet of things networks. All of that you can visualize on any device you have, basically, whether itâs an iPhone, iPad, notebook, or touch TV. The interactive time chart lets you access big data with time and explore what happens within specific areas of that data without using any other interface component. We have also reinvented the pie chart and the facet chart.
What makes our SDK unique? First of all, itâs built to make data navigation engaging, so it wonât be just a boring chart or boring interface. It will be interesting for people to actually use your software that would include a ZoomCharts application. We also know that most of you like the performance of the application, so we put a lot of effort in creating this development kit such that it will be super nice looking and super fast on most contemporary devices. We have also added different aspects of how you can visualize different data in a compelling way. And for those of you who already have some applications or products, ZoomCharts helps you sell your product because when we show our products to actual consumers, when they see the interface built with ZoomCharts, they love it, and they can immediately see how they can use it for other purposes. So basically, what we are doing with ZoomCharts is accelerating the emergence of new ideas that couldnât have been done yesterday because there wasnât such development yet available.
I could talk a lot about it, but itâs better to show you some real life examples of how we have applied ZoomCharts to tackle some of the issues in the real world. With a product called myinstabank, the Internet account statements show a long boring list, and when you need to see the big picture, you just canât. All you get is just a list. Normally you would just use the export option to make some Excel charts. We found that we could use our interface to give all this information another meaning in the hands of users. We applied our charts to the already existing data within the Internet banks.
What we have here is a time chart. It shows you data aggregated by timestamps. So if you have any data that has timestamps, you can use the time chart. The picture is where most of the chart libraries end; it is the end product of their libraries. In our case, the chart is just the beginning of your venture because now letâs imagine you wanted to see what happened in the year 2012. What do you have to do? One click. You just click on it, and immediately the chart communicates with the banking database, retrieves more data for that period, and immediately aggregates data. No more dropdowns where you have to pick specific dates or unintuitive actions. The rest of the interface then responds to the time period you have selected. The list is there, but now itâs filtered for that one year you just selected. If you need some other information, just one click, and the interface is communicating back to the server and fetching data. Speaking about the pie charts, they immediately show you where your money is coming from, and how you spent your money. All our charts are interactive, so you can click on any slice to filter out the time chart. I said before that we have reinvented certain aspects of the pie chart and one of the key aspects that we have reinvented is, normally if you have a pie chart, you have a grey area that says âothersâ and you never know whatâs inside there. Well, we have fixed that problem. Just one click and it automatically expands. So now, using one pie chart, you can explore all the data.
All of this is interactive, so on iPad, you can use gestures to swipe in, swipe out, do all sorts of things. All charts come bundled with extensive API, which means that you can combine these charts with other JavaScript components that exist within your application to create an interface and an experience to your user that you are looking forward to. The time chart is big data ready because it comes with a very smart data cache and if you attach it to the data sources that handle a lot of data, whenever you do some navigation, it automatically reflects only data for that particular period of time, so there is no unnecessary data being fetched from your servers. Thus, you keep the loads small, the interface fluid, and the overall experience very nice.
One of the very unique products that we have within ZoomCharts is the network chart component. The network chart component lets you visualize different social, financial and other network structures directly within your device. In this particular example, what we did is fetch a subset of the IMDb database to show you how you can use the network chart to visualize information that is already there but in a totally different way. So imagine you get home and you would like to see a new movie but you are not really sure what you want to look for. You know that you like Al Pacino, so what you do is type in âAl Pacinoâ and immediately you see the actor and the top movies of his. This is the point where your joy of data exploration begins. With a single tap, you can explore what other actors are involved in that particular movie. And you can continue this exploration until you find content that youâd be happy to consume. What is good here is this moment of trust because you started with Al Pacino, you trust that person, you love movies with him, and now you can see that there is Andy Garcia that is linked to him. So you think, âhmm, if I like Al Pacino, they are linked in this movie together, maybe thatâs something worth watching today.â With a right click, you can instantly access more information about the movie, and watch a trailer or buy the movie. So what Iâm saying here is, using ZoomCharts as a core component of visual interface, you can let people discover your content, find something they like, and also buy it or consume it. So itâs not just seeing the big picture, but itâs interacting and consuming. And all of this is happening within one interface.
In the next year, weâre also thinking about expanding the charts to let cross device communication, which would mean that you would go home, take your iPad, open up this software, and when you find a movie that you want to watch, you would click âbuyâ or âwatchâ, and it would start playing on your TV. So, devices would be cross linked through using the ZoomCharts interface.
This chart comes with extensive API so you can apply different filters to the data. For instance, in this particular example, we have applied this IMDb filter here, so if youâre really are not looking at anything below 9, you can click on 9 and see that there are not that many movies within this subset. If you are not that kind of person, you can put the star limit to something smaller, and movies appear.
Another interesting aspect is the time machine within which you can filter out movies that are very old, or on the other hand, you can focus on movies that are contemporary. All of that can be easily configured for your application, for your customers, for your product, as you need it. You can style any aspect of your charts with pictures line, arrows.
Many companies, among which is Hewlett-Packard from the United States have already found usage for their cloud solutions to visualize all sorts of different things.
If you go to our webpage you can see other examples of ways you can use our charts. Our charts can be cross combined in very interesting ways. What you see here is Juliaâs social network and who her friends are. You can play around with the network and expand and see what other people are there in real time, but when you click again on Julia, a pie chart pops up and says what social networks Julia is using most. So in this user interface, we are already combining a lot of data that is easily accessible with just a few taps. And it doesnât stop there. So, she loves Facebook. We can click on Facebook, and the second level of the pie chart comes up. There can be unlimited levels. The second level shows which tags she is using within that social network. So now we know that Julia loves Facebook, and within Facebook, she loves to talk about love. Another thing you can do is click on Love, and you get this interactive time chart that says when exactly she is talking about love on Facebook.
In the close future, in a year or two, we are looking forward to integrating support for a number of new human-machine interfaces that are emerging. We are also looking forward to integrating voice control into our charts so you can easily zoom in, zoom out or do other sorts of navigational things.
There are many new chart types coming up, such as the GeoChart, which will let you easily put those interactive pie charts on a map so you can display different statistics for people within one chart.
We are also looking forward to creating a bunch of cloud services that would enable cross chart communication on the one hand, and other things that Iâm not really allowed to tell you now, but there will be some big things that you will hear about.
What is good is availability. As I mentioned before, the software is already available to download on our webpage. You can easily get a 30 day free trial to just play around with it. We are giving away free licenses also for non commercial projects, for students, for charities. But if you have a commercial project you would still need to obtain a developer license.

I realize online seat request isn't a new thing but I still find it really cool. Those are some seat requests for flights I have (with lufthansa/singapore airlines and air new zealand). I like the air new zealand site much better, it's got a slick modern UI (btw, looking at the source code, both sites use a mixture of jsp and asp.net).
Anyway dear friends, this is the last photo I'm going to upload until February. Tomorrow I'm leaving for a month in New Zealand (with two days in Singapore) and I've no intentions of getting online during that period.
A good happy new year to all of you!
(and if you're in the u.s or Europe - try not to freeze until I get back).
