[DESIGN / WEB] 10 Smart Javascript Techniques to Improve Your UI
For each function, there is a live demo and script download option. Neat. - Mona Nomura from Bookmarklet
This is cool. Thanks ;) - Alexandru Savu

Hey guys: Until I figure out FriendFeed's Search / Filtering System and how to efficiently tag - http://www.nsaa.org/nsaa...
Hey guys: Until I figure out FriendFeed's Search / Filtering System and how to efficiently tag
...only Admins Can Share (for now). Thanks for joining, everyone! And welcome!!!! - Mona Nomura from Bookmarklet
Hey - I'm still experimenting with tagging features so this room isn't a full blown chaotic mess. In a day or so, I'm going to change it, so everyone / anyone can share. But until we come up with a good organizational method (with input from everyone in the room), I'm leaving it as is. :) - Mona Nomura
always been the biggest challenge. - shaun mclane
I think I figured out a system (at least for this room), until FriendFeed sup-s up the search engine. ;) - Mona Nomura
I'm actually for having some rooms with admin posting, it's nice to have little/no noise - Majento
Aw. I had a few wallpaper site contributions, was wondering why this room didn't show up in the bookmarklet. Now I know. - Phil Glockner
How about adding a [TAG] prefix in post title, for example "[MAC] How to...", [WINXP] Blah", "[PHOTOSHOP] Blah", "[TWITTER] Blah" or [GMAIL] Blah" ? - LouCypher
Lou: That's a great idea. The strangest thing about search is, it doesn't pull up partial key words. For example, "icon" and "icons" pull up separately. Searching "Win" doesn't pull up "Windows" posts. "Window" and "Windows" come up separately. I automatically assumed Boolean Searching worked. LOL Perhaps if we came up uniform keywords and if everyone stuck to that format it would be somewhat organized (until FriendFeed improves the search and archiving). What do you think? - Mona Nomura
[MONA] Good point Mona, the idea is actually pretty good too! 8D (Yeah, posting back on FF yeeha! Have to get back at ya in an hour though... :( - Zu from AOD
Ack, was just wondering why I couldn't post. Thanks for the heads up - Mo Kargas
delicious has a pretty good tag matching/suggestion process. Not sure if that can be leveraged in some way here. - Amir Gharaat
Amir: Good idea, I'll check out delicio.us. I don't use it. LOL @Christopher: Do you prefer less posts? - Mona Nomura
Chris: Thank you, I hope everyone feels the same as well. :) - Mona Nomura
Awesome Room. Thanks for the invite! - Alexandru Savu
Mona, this has answered a few of my questions about the Goodies room but one thing it hasn't. Why doesn't this room appear on any of my friends lists? - Kol Tregaskes
It should, Kol. Will you take a screen shot so I can see what you're seeing? - Mona Nomura
Typical it's started to work now. All I did was unjoin and join, not sure what effect that would have. Thank you Mona, problem appears to be solved. - Kol Tregaskes
If I find something that might be a nice addition to the room how can I get it to you? - Michael Fidler
@Michael: send it to goodieroom@gmail.com - LouCypher
Mona Nomura
So EFin true haha
imagesword-20chart.gif
Hahahhahahah. - ※Fu※
Some of us are smart and use OpenOffice :) - Fred Grott
I hate Word LOL - Mona Nomura
so stop using it - Fred Grott
I use Google docs now. :) - Mona Nomura
I can't say how much I hate Word. And, to be honest, every time I've used OO, I feel like it's a clone, and just as clunky. Now I'll go back to writing Latex in Vim :) - Michael C. Harris
WIN - Mona Nomura
WIN FAIL, even - WoH: Minding her Steves
Wow, dead accurate - Rahsheen the Dream
LaTex - that takes me back - writing research papers and being sure what they'll look like until they come back from the print center. - Robert Hafer
make that "not being sure" geesh, it's like I'm still using LaTex on my VT100 - Robert Hafer
So True! - Ron
JDarkroom on a flash drive... or Q10, depending on my mood and need for wordcount/stats onscreen. Just words. No bullshit. Word properly set up, though, -can- rock hard for more complex documents, but at some point you gotta move on to, say, Framemaker.... - abacab
Google Docs? - Igor Poltavskiy
Hell. Yes. I'm pretty much a Notepad (or at worst Wordpad) user unless I need advanced features. And then I've turned off most of Word's auto formatting things I can find. - Jandy
What's wrong with Google Docs? @Jandy: Notepad LOL I TOTALLY still use that haha - Mona Nomura
I use GoogleDocs when I think about it; but it prints kinda funky, so I never used it for school, which was when I mostly used word processing anyway. LOVE Notepad. It doesn't frak up html. :) - Jandy
EPIC WIN. Candace's friend's chart would be awesome, too. That's another EPIC WIN: "Making the %)*%@#$ site work in IE". So I'm not the only one who uses Google Docs now? (OpenOffice isn't really necessary yet... Word 2003 and I have reached an understanding, but it's not my go-to program at all.) - dgw
That used to be true in the days of office 2003 and older. I don't have any problems with office 2007. - Alexandru Savu
True. - Holger Eilhard
Mona, so true and one reason why I now use Pages or G Docs, life is more efficient these days - Sally Church
I absolutely despise Word. Working on getting my entire company switched to Google Docs via Google Apps. I either use Google Docs or, when on my mac, Pages. - Robert DeBord
If have to use Word on a regular basis, it's worth reading up on the automatic formatting as there some commands that you *must not* use otherwise you'll start to descend into formatting hell. Come back Lotus Wordpro! All is forgiven! - Stuart Woodward
Lotus Wordpro...i was too stupid to even get that. I used to write all my term papers in Lotus 1-2-3. - Anika
Mona Nomura
+)) - Alireza

Oh nooooooooooooooooooo! - Josh Haley

My brother use to do that to me all the time. One time I needed surgery. - Blake N. Cooper
SURGERY?! :O OMG - Mona Nomura
oh goodness stagekid, surgery? that's not cool. - Anika
I guess I have to be the one to do it. Fence hop FAIL! Oh, wait, he wasn't hopping? - a runcible MiniMage
Ok, so the surgery comments just registered. Yeouch. That hurts just thinking about it. - a runcible MiniMage
Brenda++ The real question is, who just sat there and took a pic of it...whoever it was needs a hug, and maybe some Jesus....just sayin - Rahsheen the Dream
No, James. It's called "discipline" - Mona Nomura
no Mona, that's called having an older brother! ;-) - Bill Sanders
Or sister. ;) - Mona Nomura

No. Soylent Gummi is people. Those little bears are just delicious candy made from unicorn burps. - XDpaul
I'd have eaten them before the picture was taken. - TDavid
I eat gummi bears from the bottom up. I'd feel guilty if I bite off the head first. - Alan Le

Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Which OS do you use, and why?
OS X. because simple is best.... Digging around for .dll FTL - Mona Nomura
Mac OS X at home because I love Unix but got tired of trying to make my soundcard work correctly with Linux. (I've since come to love OS X in its own right: it's a very well designed, consistent OS. And I heart Objective-C/Cocoa). Windows XP at home. Because we're a Microsoft shop through and through. - James (@willia4)
Windows XP because it came with my laptop and I already had Linux desktop when I got it. I also do music, so I had Pro Tools on here at one point. - Rahsheen the Dream
Vista. 'coz Visual Studio rocks, and I can run pretty much every app on earth :D Digging for dlls ftl ('coz, in my 8 year stint with Windows, that has never happened) :D - Yuvi
Windows XP Pro fo sho. - Louie
Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. As long as I can run K-Meleon and Vim, I'm happy. - Morton Fox
Vista on my desktop computer, OS X on my laptop, and XP/Topologilinux dual-boot on my secondary desktop computer. - Vincent X
Yuvi: so when you uninstall programs.. you just... trust everything's removed??? - Mona Nomura
Linux. Because I believe in Free Open Source Software philosophy, and it's a great OS, sometimes I use windows in a VM for university stuff. - Hassan Ibraheem
right now at this desk... Vista, laziness - Cody Heitschmidt
Windows XP, because it does everything I need. - richrecruiter
OS X - Leslie Poston
@Mona - I do. Process Explorer ftw! Added: SysInternals ftw! - Yuvi
MacOS X .. i just converted.. why? because I don't need to think which OS i'm using.. i'm just doing my stuff and it's there - Naor Mark
o rly? I just drag and drop =D - Mona Nomura
@Mona - besides, I ain't rich :D (Edit - Stupid Argument. WTF was the author thinking?) - Yuvi
Windows XP at work, XP and Tiger at home. Building a box to run Ubuntu at home, too. - Ha3rvey (F please!)
I use the drag-to-the-trash method for uninstalling apps, but I'm sure there's stuff lingering in the Library. I just don't care much. - James (@willia4)
@Mona - besides, I don't think Drag and Drop does what it is supposed to do. *Tells himself to stfu 'bout Mac OS X 'coz he hasn't even seen it* - Yuvi
Laptop<XP), UMPC (Linux), DeskTop(XP), TigerBox(BSD/Unix) - Peter Dawson
Vista at home on desktop and tablet, Server 2008 configured to look and feel like Vista at work. Why? Because of what Yuvi said. Also, Server 2008 makes for an awesome workstation. - Jordan Hofker
Ubuntu.. For the flexibility, the community & the security - embee
OS X on personal laptop, WinXP on work laptop, WinXP/Vista dual-boot desktop at home when I need to do .NET dev. - ronin
I use Linux because I believe in open-source, and because I don't like digging for DLLs. Instead, I dig for RPMs! - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
@possible248: Digging for RPMs ftl :P Heard apt was good? (curious, I like the concept of centralized repositries, and love easy_install for python) - Yuvi
Various Linux distros with KDE. Linux is great for my relatively older machines, supports a wide variety of hardware that is no longer supported by other OSes, has much customizability, is great on RAM usage, the KDE desktop is much more usuable than any other I've tried (much more than Explorer), freedom, it has the applications that I love, and so on and so on. - Jake (aka Jawee)
Actually, I only really need to dig for RPMs on OpenSUSE. Fedora and Ubuntu have the repositories that I need. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
I only use DOS 6.1 cause I'm badass like that. - iTad
@possible248: OpenSUSE has the worst selection in the repositories. Ubuntu and Mandriva are both great (my main Linux distros atm). - Jake (aka Jawee)
Ubuntu because its simpler than Mona N :) - Fred Grott
@jawee: Go KDE! - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Vista Ultimate and XP because that I'm a Microsoft chick. But I want a Macbook Air for when you need a little internet machine. Can't afford it though. Buy me one? - Sarah Perez
Vista x64 at work, XP at home on the desktop, Leopard/XP on my MacBook at home. - Jonas, Leper of FF
Vista x64, eh? Are the driver issues gone? Is it safe? :D (I seriously want to know) - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
@chrisbaskind: Do the kids like Ubuntu? - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
@jawee: I think I'll go install Mandriva right now. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn - ::Kristen::
Vista came on the laptop. OpenSuSE on desktop. Thinking about KDE 4.1 - Victor Ryden 美久太阿
got KDE 4.1 running on Fedora 9 ... all I can say is wow! very very nice - John Blanton from twhirl
OS X at home and Vista at work. OS X is much better! :) - Peter
I use Mac OS X and Vista on the PC. OS X is much better - Scott
Ubuntu, because it works better on my old dinosaur of a computer than XP ever did. - Steven Perez
The basic idea behind KDE is choice. GNOME's philosophy is that the user cannot be trusted with decision. KDE still isn't that tough to use. I love it. :D - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
As a work at home freelance software developer and tech writer, I have to go where there is demand or else I go unemployed. So I use Win XP, Vista, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and SuSE), Solaris and Mac OS X. For my day to day personal use, I choose Mac OS X. - Dread Pirate PJ
I just don't get how Mac OSX users use the dock. A task bar just makes more sense (to me). - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
MacOS X, with a RedHat Enterprise system to ssh into. - DGentry
Vista & Ubuntu - Igor Poltavskiy
All of them :) Proudly platform agnostic. - TDavid
OS X. - Sally Church
@possible248: I'll ignore your flame bait and mention that on Linux, I prefer KDE over GNOME, for the same reason you mention. :-) I haven't tried 4.1 yet, probably will try to upgrade this weekend. - Dread Pirate PJ
Oh, and I don't use the dock, I use Quicksilver. - Dread Pirate PJ
OS X. Lazy...it's preinstalled on my Mac. - Mitchell Tsai
Mac OS X and Windows XP - Bwana ☠
Linux (Ubuntu) primarily, but also some OpenSolaris. I won't get into the GNOME/KDE debate -- those of us in what is sadly the OS minority need to unite for the greater good. :-) I have to use Windows for some of my DayJob tasks. - Joanmarie
XP, Vista, Ubuntu. Vista because it came with the laptop, XP by choice, Ubuntu for server or network play. - xero
OS X FTW why - because I love uncle Steve - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Hehe. Flamebait. I think Linus Torvalds backs up my point pretty well (http://mail.gnome.org/archive...). I find the responses of the Mac users interesting. I love the shiny look of Apple hardware, but haven't been able to bring myself to cough up the change for one. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Linuxes, Windows, OSX, as different needs arise. - John LeMasney
Ubuntu Linux (desktop) and Debian GNU/Linux (server) because I love apt-get. Windows XP inside of a VMWare-Player guest... does that count? lol - Czar
vista... work-related and it's great for gaming. - Alan Le
vista. - Alexandru Savu
Vista, seriously, I like it. XP at work, no suprise we just upgraded from W2K. - Eric - 100% Choice Cuts

Iphone Coffin: Be Buried In an iPhone, Vista or Boobies-Inspired Coffin
"A company called Creative Coffins offers a service where you can choose themed caskets designed however you like, leading the nerds at T3 to mock up some interesting with the concept. Would you want to be buried in an iPhone casket? A Vista casket? How about GTA4, Halo, or an SNES one with an eject button on the side?" - Victor Ryden 美久太阿 from Bookmarklet
HAHA - Mona Nomura
*shakes head* - Shey
Did you see the DIY coffins a posted a while back? CREEPY - Mona Nomura
Creepy stuff. - Alexandru Savu
boobies-inspired=not so bad, death=bad - Cee Bee
Wow, this is taking your geeky devotion right to the grave with ya...now that's deadly! - Susan Beebe
Bricked 4 life. :/ - Hao Chen
Do they take pre-orders? Or should I put it in a Will of some sort? - Yuvi
lol @ hao - Cee Bee
Yuvi, you're only like 18. Do you really want to be stuck with a G1 iPhone coffin? - Hao Chen
@Hao - hey, wills can be changed! And I'm not that old - I'm just 17? kthxbai - Yuvi

I <3 digital effects! - iTad
I would have to agree with the Digital Effects. It sure does trip you out the first time you see it. - LiquidLag
Haha if for a moment you pretend it's true you get one hell of a laughter. - Alexandru Savu
Holly Shit! I hope that was not for real! - Jeff P. Henderson
Mona Nomura
Confession: My chat status is always "Away" but most of the time I'm online. I just don't want to talk to you.
that's just rude :) - Justin Korn from fftogo
I just don't answer if I don't want to talk to you lol - Bwana ☠
No one IMs me anymore LOL - Mona Nomura
Same here. - Jordan Hofker
yuvipanda@gmail.com - if you want someone to IM 24x7 :P - Yuvi
@Bwana - me too! If they ask me later, I just say I was playing a game and didn't notice :P - Yuvi
I prefer going invisible. That way, I can IM you out of nowhere, like a Ninja of chat. - Dan Kaplan
Nobody IMs me :( - Rahsheen the Dream
I do that too. - Stellina
Another one: BRB....then never come back LOL - Mona Nomura
I prefer the "invisible" option. :) - Cyndy
I'm busy. My favorite message. 80% of time I'm not. - Alexandru Savu
For some reason Gtalk doesn't support invisible =\ I got caught a few times lol - Mona Nomura
IM?! What's that .. is that the thing that people used before twitter?! - Shivanand Velmurugan
FF has become my IM. IM is annoyingly distracting. Esp the godawful <BUZZ> feature. - Jericho
I do the same thing. My friends IM me anyway with "stop lying to everyone" or "who are you trying to avoid today?" - CJ
Corie, that's when you just ignore them! :-) - Jordan Hofker
The right people know to chat through it ;) - Michael W. May from twhirl
"I know you're there asshole" <---most common - Mona Nomura
I always enjoy talking to people. Maybe some of my friends are using these techniques against me. :D - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
Depends. For me, IM = New Voicemail + text. Mine are up 24-7 so most people leave messages. If I respond, they understand since.. well.. that's me ;) - Mona Nomura
If i'm online, I don't feel obliged to carry on long conversations, most of my contacts do though. So I'm away a lot. - Todd Jordan
My confession: I do pretty much the same but have a utility for Windows live messenger that tells me if u r really 'idle' or just pretending to be away. Still looking for one for Google talk so I can find my traitor friends on gtalk. - The Fat Oracle
I "Liked" this on FF cause Mona N wrote it, thats it ... thats the whole reason. - Cody Heitschmidt
Kamath: LOL!! @Cody..... you don't have to obligatory like ;) - Mona Nomura
I wont on everything... Just did on that one cause it felt right and I have made this rule that I am gonna explain all my likes so I had to have a reason and that was a good one - Cody Heitschmidt
I was the same way - sadly, my friends were smart enough to figure this out. So now I need to sign out... - George Smith
Yea, no one buys when I'm away anymore. Not even worth the effort. - Steve Spalding
My IMs are always set to "Away" as of recently 2 weeks ago or so. Same reasons as Mona stated before. - imabonehead
I don't do this, but I will confess to hardly ever actually initiating an IM. I don't mind if people IM me, though. - Phil Glockner
Used to talk/ytalk, but guess I'm too old to do much IM. Works well though the few times I've tried. - Mitchell Tsai

i highly doubt I had 1000 spammer followers and sincerley hope that they get this worked out soon
I have patience, but do you really believe that after all these hours there will be any other fixes? I am pretty sure their backup is couple of months old and atm that's all they can do. If it doesn't get completely fixed, I'm off Twitter forever. I don't have the time and energy to rebuild everything from scratch just to see it screwed in the end. - Alex Popescu from twhirl
@Alex: That's the major problem with the missing followers issue: many people claimed they stay on Twitter instead of moving anywhere for the sake of the community they have here and unwillingness to build it elsewhere. - Svetlana Gladkova from twhirl
This is getting a wee bit ridiculous, I agree. The only reason for staying on Twitter was the community and quality of the circle of friends built up over time. Now that is completely f**ked up and if they cant get this right, even with all the new engineers from the Summiza buyout, I really will start to lose my Mojo for Twitter and just not care anymore about community and just let if fade out of my consciousness. This Stockholm syndrome is bullshit!!! - Mario Olckers
I'm wondering how many screwups will it take to kill twitter. - Alexandru Savu
Alex Popescu

Welcome to Drobo 2.0 -- Two Times Faster and Now Offering Firewire Support - http://thomashawk.com/2008...
Ok, well there was supposed to be an 8:35 a.m. embargo on this news but since Engadget's already running the story here's my article on Drobo 2.0. This looks hot! - Thomas Hawk
Thomas, the Drobo 2.0 looks great, but did they mention when we might see a unit with integrated ethernet? That is really what is stopping them from getting my $$$. Nice post. - Jordan
Jordan haven't heard anything about ethernet. - Thomas Hawk
When on earth are they gonna add GigE on this and finally make it useful? NAS is far more useful than DAS. :( - Don MacAskill
the ethernet connection is named droboshare, but on version 1.0, does not have good reviews: http://tinyurl.com/67wq2p - hector juarez
Thanks for sharing Thomas! I was really hoping they were going to upgrade the DroboShare as well. Seems that the USB connection between the share and the Drobo itself would be a bottleneck (though I am speaking out of ignorance as I don't have one). - Justin Korn
Matt: Read this about RAID (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) - Justin Korn
Matt: No worries. I *think* Drobo does something similar to RAID 5, but not exactly since, with the Drobo, you are able to use different size drives. Technically, with RAID 5 you can only use the the same size drives or else the larger drives will not be used to their full capacity. - Justin Korn
Okay, i understand the need of backup and so I solved a small Math Problem. If one has two hard drives (in my personal case my MBPs hard drive and a WD MyBook, my backup) each with a Million Hours as the MTBF and 3% as the AFR (most claim 1% but CMU says 2 to 4%; so I'm taking 3). These figures give me - assuming a Gaussian Curve for the MTBF - insignificant probability that both the drives will fail simultaneously. Aren't 8 discs (in 2 Drobos) seriously Over-kill? The probability will never be zero anyways - Parth Awasthi
Parth, yes, it's probably pretty likely that 8 drives in 2 drobos won't fail. But don't forget about the probability of things like getting robbed or having your house burn down. By keeping one drobo at your home and another offsite somewhere you seriously diminish risk by theft, fire, natural disaster, etc. - Thomas Hawk
@ Parth: Thomas is a Photographer. Each one of those thousands of images are unique - will never happen again quite simply becuase we can't travel back in time. In a word, they are priceless. Is 8 drives overkill, probably. Piece of mind? Priceless. (with thanks to Mastercard for the phrasing :) ) - Roberto Bonini
Thomas: I Understand completely the reason for distributing them in two places. my point of over kill was 8 drives; probabilistically speaking, we are good with two drives over two physical locations. Again, just a thought; by no means questioning your backup suggestion. Roberto: Agreed, peace of mind over all else; I understand the value of each of those brilliant shots of his, totally agree that it is only natural to desire as many measures as possible for safety. - Parth Awasthi
I'm getting one also. - Alexandru Savu
Vaguely annoyed because I bought a Drobo the day before this came out. Annoyed that the sales rep hasn't managed to get back to me in two days, but I understand. Would be extremely annoyed if I couldn't return my still-unopened Drobo 1.0, since it was still in the mail when they came out with the new one. - Ryan Brenizer
Still no XP64 support - ThePicMan
RAID helps improve reliability but does not address recoverability should one entire Drobo fail. That's how I usually make the distinction to people. - jho
@Thomas, with you storing your photos in RAW, how full is your Drobo? How many are you going to need for a million images? - Bryan Clark
@Bryan Clark - Assuming each RAW is ~10MB, a million images should be around 10TB. - jho from twhirl

From now on, I'm taking a screenshot of my Friendfeed stats page every day. After 30 days, I'm going to put them in a slideshow format and watch my progression.
Hao == geek - Czar
Going to set the default Flickr privacy to Only Me on Jing Project, so I don't piss anyone off. :) - Hao Chen
Problem is my FF stats have NOT changed on FF in a LONG time?!! so not sure this will work, unless you have another tool to pull this data dynamically. - Susan Beebe
sounds like fun...I was thinking of doing something similar on a weekly or monthly basis...daily is bit extreme, but all the power to you (kind of agree with Czar :)) - Justin Korn
@Susan I don't have this problem. My likes might be small enough in quantity and diverse enough that my stats haven't 'leveled off' yet. Anyone else having that issue, especially the earlier users? - Hao Chen
great idea! - Marco(aureliusmaximus)
I totally want to do this - Shey
Good idea. I'd follow suit but I don't care enough to spend the energy ;) - xero
Hmmm, I'd probably join in on this if I I wasn't sure I'd forget after about day 3 and then be mad at myself for the rest of the month. - Jason Toney
Interesting ideea. I'm waiting for the ppt to see how much time you've wasted doing geek activies. - Alexandru Savu
hahaha - Hao Chen
take a look at my rescuetime :/ http://friendfeed.com/e... - Hao Chen
Perhaps we should create a group on Flickr. My plan is to take it every month, though - LouCypher
That would be a very interesting study. Better yet, the data should be integrated with Google Docs and spreadsheets. Use the pie graph gadget to demonstrate the changes. - Franklin Naval
Great Idea. I might start doing this. - The Kid
