#INGENUITYHALLOWEENPARTY2014

Our office is full of highly creative, awesome people with a great sense of humor and with an unquenchable love for all things nerdy. And when we do stuff, we go all out, and not half-baked (especially when there are sick prizes to win!). What a better milieu to see these traits first hand than during our annual Halloween Party!


We played Trivia: The Revenge of the Nerds Halloween version and Team Kevin Go's Bitchez ended up as the big winners. Nipping at their heels are the other groups Team Hentai Pharaoh, Team Ass, and Team Saklay.

We had a quick snack of pizza and soda and a lot of selfies and picture-taking. The photo with the most number of likes on social media with the hashtag #INGENUITYHALLOWEENPARTY2014 also wins a special prize.

Games commenced with Halloween Pictionary. Team Two beat Team One by a landslide, 9 points to 4. And another round of Trivia saw Team Bitchez victorious! Congratulations to all the winners! You are all so bright and perfect!! LOL


We ended the night with a late dinner at a downtown restaurant and on the way there, Pat (who was still in his Spidey costume) was walking around gamely posing with bystanders who wanted to have their photos taken with him. Even queuing up at a local McDonald's for shizt and giggles.

Center an ImageView inside a parent View in Titanium

As I was beginning my journey with Titanium, one of the hurdles I faced was centering an image. I wanted something that is similar to background-size: cover; in CSS where the image will be maxed out in the parent container while still retaining the image's aspect ratio. Since I can't find a built-in solution, I created one myself.

The centerImageView function stretches the image's smaller side to fit the parent container, and recalculates the height and width so that it will retain it's aspect ratio.

As the saying goes, if there is a wall, we'll break it. If there isn't a path, we'll make one with our hands! I'll be sharing some more snippets here. They will mostly be basic, but I hope they can still be useful to you.

Until next time! :D
