Back to the Fox
I tried. I really did. But the Fox is just better in almost everything.
Squared Circle Color Finder
Nice:
Squared Circle Color Finder
This image finder retrieves thumbnails of aproximately 4000 images of circles from the squared circle group on Flickr. The images are not colorized, but are selected based on your color choice.
Resolution dependent layout
This is what CSS (with a touch of JavaScript) is all about. Achieving this effect with a table based layout would be nearly impossible.
Try the demo by changing the width of your browser to less than 800 pixels.
Perfect?
Anne van Kesteren has a nice description of the perfect weblog system:
The perfect weblog system
If I’m ever going to write a weblog, or someone else is going to write one I’m going to use, here is an outline of what it should (or must) have. Inspiration comes from an article of Henri Sivonen: Outlining the Ultimate Blogging Server and various people: Asbjørn Ulsberg, Mark Wubben and Robbert Broersma. I was going to use a definition list, but dropped that option in favor of the unordered list, since that seems to be used for this kind of things. I hope your screen is wide enough.
I liked this idea the most:
People who comment should be allowed to edit their comments one time within ten minutes, based on a cookie. Their original comment should be stored and a diff may be made available to the user (optional).
Deleting annoying url autocomplete items
Very nice Firefox Tip:
adot’s notblog*: tip of the day
If you’re like me and you don’t use bookmarks very often, instead relying on bookmark keywords and address autocompletion, this tip is for you. When you get bogus items in your address autocomplete list, you can easily delete them by just arrowing down to the bogus one and hitting shift delete on your keyboard. Cleaning up your address autocomplete for common sites every once in a while will make your browsing experience more pleasant.
PHP 5
I didn’t take it for a spin just yet but here’s an interesting read about it. I don’t know how I missed this article as it probably was in every development blog that deserves to be called a blog.
Dr.Lunch
For everyone that has problems deciding where to have lunch each and everyday:
Welcome to Dr.Lunch
Basically, this is how it works. First, you create a (totally free) account with Dr.Lunch, so the Doctor can keep up with what restaurants you do and don’t like. Once you’ve done that, you’ll either join a group you’ve been invited to, or you can start your own group and invite other people to join it. Heck, you can even do both if you want to. If you’re starting a new group, you probably want to add a handful of restaurants to kick things off. You can do this via a link on the main page once you’ve created an account. If you’re joining an existing group, there should be some restaurants already in place, but you can always add more. As other people join, they’ll add more restaurants, and give their own ratings to existing restaurants, making lunch better and better.
First IE URL spoof scam
Via Boing Boing comes the first scam (that I know of) using the recently discovered IE URL spoof vulnerability.
