Screencast-O-Matic is the free and easy way to create a video recording of your screen (aka screencast) and upload
it for free hosting all from your browser with no install!
Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and
then send this information to filehippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.
These are then neatly displayed in your browser for you to download.
javascript.options.showInConsole = true. Logs errors in chrome files to the Error Console. nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache = true. Disables the XUL cache so that changes to windows and dialogs do not require a restart. This assumes you're using directories rather than JARs. Changes to XUL overlays will still require reloading of the document overlaid. browser.dom.window.dump.enabled = true. Enables the use of the dump() statement to print to the standard console. See window.dump
for more info. You can also use nsIConsoleService
from privileged script. javascript.options.strict = true. Enables strict JavaScript warnings in the Error Console. Note that since many people have this setting turned off when developing, you will see lots of warnings for problems with their code in addition to warnings for your own extension. You can filter those with Console2. extensions.logging.enabled = true. This will send more detailed information about installation and update problems to the Error Console.
design and build your application as a .NET client application, then assign the
portions of the application to run on the server and the client tiers late in
the development process. The compiler creates cross-browser JavaScript for the
client tier, web services for the server tier, and communication, serialization,
synchronization, security, and other boilerplate code to tie the tiers together.
Volta is to .Net what the Google Web Toolkit is to Java ... except it goes *way* further, because it lets you write a multi-tiered application as a rich-client app and then choose to have the client portion "compile" to HTML+Javascript ...
Amaya has been progressing nicely over the years and supports HTML, XHTML, MathML 2.0, SVG (even transparency and animation), and much of CSS 2 ... You can display and somewhat edit XML ... and there's some powerful tools for live editing...
coComment keeps track of all the online conversations you're following in one convenient place, and informs you whenever something is added to a conversation.
What disadvantage did he find with having choice? Fragmented community, inconsistent UI, difficulty integrating with 3rd party apps, something else?
5-9 clicks just to add a calendar item.
disjointed software updating -- which requires a Windows PC in older Nokia devices -- that leaves many North American users without fixes to serious issues for all but the most popular of handsets.
The web browser is a good example, on a pc it may make sense to ask a user to find, click, type, and browse the web or look for a service. In a mobile, converged product, you need to help the user be present with the service even or especially when they are driving or have the product in a pocket or handbag, and requiring them to constantly select 'yes' or to type in forms etc. are real headaches for a consumer.
We will not provide a store front, but will help the community create multiple online stores from which they can generate revenue for themselves and the developer.
At the other end of the spectrum, you see hoards of teenagers in the U.S., Europe and Asia happily texting one handed, using predictive text.
Focus on the whole experience, meaning you need to be inclusive of display sizes, input methods, and form factors when you design and develop your applications and services.
it analyzes the file system directly and generates a Flash file that you can load locally or remotely on any Flash-supporting web browser.
Torta uses Gordon, a library that provides flash generation functionality.
A very nice graphical front-end for 'du', in Common Lisp. I have tried it - it is trivial to use with SBCL. Version 0.3 works very well on the native Linux filesystem of my laptop, and on its VFAT (Windows) filesystem, provided I mount it with iocharset
Interesting clippings from the slides:
"What can we do with it?
* Write applications. Melodie uses lots of Smalltalk, first
pure-Smalltalk app committed to svn in January.
* Write scripts. Corner activation and gesture app uses
Smalltalk for scripting.
* Modify existing apps...
"
"We can inspect classes in a code browser, see method
names, and write replacements in any running application.
In a perfect Free Software system, any user can make any
changes. "
My comment above might imply that Smalltalk is not modern. The truth is far from it, as Smalltalk is still pushing the boundaries of technology and user interfaces, from Croquet and Qwaq, to Alice, Sophie, Scratch and Etoys.
(I fixed Friday's broken link to the PDF.) From what I read so far, this seems to be another attempt at a fully introspecitve integrated and customisable personal computer with a graphical desktop. In other words, it is Dynabook Smalltalk and Lisp workstations all over again, but quite likely with some interesting modern twists.
Problem: Various sizes, margins and padding attributes can display differently in Internet Explorer, this coded snippet can help you sort out these problems.
« So what exactly are Web Intents? The name and the purpose are both similar to the Intents system that's present in Google's Android platform. In short, Intents allow two separate applications to communicate with each other, without either of them having to actually know what the other one is. Instead, they offer and listen for generic hooks. »
