But I've found it to be a little buggy recently (in Chrome). On a few sites (BBC, FF and others) when I hit the bookmarklet the screen scrolls to the bottom and I cannot scroll back up. I have to use the original FF bookmarklet instead. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
The pictures are a little out of order
- Mike Chelen
Mostly stick with the regular one, and use the movable bookmarklet when something is blocked
- Mike Chelen
Cool. I was always hoping for a new Bookmarklet. And even if it's buggy, it's a step in the right direction. Nice Job
- Michael Fidler
Michael: It seems like the only way to uncover parts of the screen. Thanks go to April's friend for writing the code http://friendfeed.com/friendf... hope these pics help to see how it works

Have you ever tried the Posterous Bookmarklet? I think it's one of the best around. It pulls everything off a page and allows you to choose what you want. It's similar to the FFeed one in a way, but I would like something like it, but combine it with the ability to pull in more than three pictures in at a time. Don't get me wrong, I love the FFeed one too, but there's something elegant about the way the Posterous one works.

Michael: How well does Posterous stuff import to Friendfeed? If it were possible to import more than 3 pictures, that would be nice.
- Mike Chelen
Mike. Posterous imports well using the Custom RSS/atom feed , but I recall seeing a message from Gary, one of their founders, mentioning that he would like to have better integration with friendfeed. Before I enter the feed, I first run it through fflow, which gives me a MediaRSS feed which tends to display larger pictures. I use it on all my feeds. Love it. Here's the URL: http://www.fflow.net/...
- Michael Fidler
Michael: cool, fflow looks similar to feed buster http://feed-buster.appspot.com/ which i use heavily for multimedia import to friendfeed. will have to try them side by side and see if there are any differences. thanks for the tip!
- Mike Chelen
Whoa, fflow is new to me. Anyone know how long it's been around and who the developer is?

"When I tell people that, they often scoff and offer replies like “so you’re not a programmer then?” and “let me guess, you’re a coding deity or something?” Well let me say, I am a programmer and I am not Codethulu, but in the same manner that Al Gore can fly around the world in a private jet without polluting, I have negated my bad code footprint through the purchase of Bad Code Offsets."

"In John Singleton Copley's painting Watson and the Shark, a tiger shark – to judge from its teeth – is attacking a pale and terrified youth while his friends try desperately to hold it back with a boat hook while they rescue him. The rescue, in the harbour of Havana in 1749, was a success: although he lost a leg, Watson survived to become a prosperous London merchant, and probably commissioned the painting himself."

"People who illegally download music from the internet also spend more money on music than anyone else, according to a new study. The survey, published today, found that those who admit illegally downloading music spent an average of £77 a year on music – £33 more than those who claim that they never download music dishonestly. The findings suggest that plans by the Secretary of State for Business, Peter Mandelson, to crack down on illegal downloaders by threatening to cut their internet connections with a "three strikes and you're out" rule could harm the music industry by punishing its core customers."

This is the second study I've heard about with the same result. It supports the "try before you buy" M.O. of today's music lover.

While this news won't come as a surprise to anyone here, the fact that policy makers are seemingly blind to the facts highlights the growing disconnect between Government and the people they supposedly represent... On the plus side, more reporting like this could help motivate people to engage more rigorously with their elected representatives... I live in hope!

I've been using this for a few days now and it's working quite well. Sometimes, the email addresses appear a beat funky to the recipients, but so far everybody's been getting their emails. How's it been for you?

I haven't tried the Groups app, though it's been mentioned a few times. I'll check it out now to see exactly how they deal with this issue. One thing, though, my solution is free ;-)
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
Checked out Groups and it can't do photos yet. The Camera application allows you to email up to 3 photos per message - however you can't interface the Camera app with the Groups app. There's another app called MultiPhoto that allows you to send multiple photos but not to multiple recipients.

UPDATED: Now works with most email services and eliminates the Invalid Address dialog box.

"COPENHAGEN.- After becoming free from Spanish control, Haarlem grew in the 1580s into one of the leading artistic centers in the young Republic of the Netherlands. Central to this blossoming prosperity were artists such as Karel van Mander, Cornelis Cornelisz van Haarlem, and, not least of all, Hendrick Goltzius. Together they formed a study circle devoted to Haarlem Mannerism, as it became known. Their particular pictorial language was characterized by a strong awareness of style and cultivated elegance, not to mention a pursuit of an expression that prioritized artful ingenuity over naturalism. Their work depicted exaggeratedly brawny musclemen, violent drama, wild fantasy, and a rare richness of detail."

"Hey Jeff -- good idea. It'll be up to the theme designer to allow color changes. Unfortunately it is way too easy to myspace-ify blogs if you allow total and complete control of all colors. We believe that the theme designer should have final control over what is customizable, and its not possible to provide total color control to end users. Background images are coming soon -- it'll be a special feature that theme designers can take advantage of. Header images will usually be 500px across, and up to 500px high. Again, this is up to the theme designer. Hope that helps! -Garry"

I love the little people in the foreground in the first one. They're so tiny! In the third one there is a boy fallen through the ice and other people are skating just a few feet away as if nothing is wrong.

The answer for GMail is pretty weak. Allowing POP/IMAP for realtime access is totally different then allowing backups. Anyone who's tried to setup GMail backup via POP knows what I'm talking about. It ain't easy, especially given the way they limit POP access.

Steve, I actually thought the backup was quite nice: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog... . That said, I would love if there was a way to click a button and download your email in a tarball or zip easily. Or maybe pay $5 and get a DVD with your email snail-mailed to you. :)

"My old Palm worked extremely well for this, but you can use your ingenuity to come up with other ideas if you don’t have a Palm. Basically the result you’re going for is a bright screen that’s completely white. I accomplished this by making a perfectly white image file in Photoshop, sending it to the Palm, and viewing the white image in fullscreen at full brightness. I have heard of...

"The rest is just a matter of alignment and timing. The general idea is to get the negative on the scanner glass, and pin it down using the light source. You may have to place a book or something on top of the light source if it doesn’t weigh enough to press the negative flat against the glass. Line everything up as well as you can, but don’t obsess, because you can always straighten...

"Are you a hip-hop fan who can’t tell assonance from alliteration? An English major who doesn’t know Biggie from Tupac? Adam Bradley’s “Book of Rhymes” is the crash course for you. The book — essentially English 101 meets Hip-Hop Studies 101 — is an analysis of what Bradley calls “the most widely disseminated poetry in the history of the world”: rap, which he rightly says “is poetry, but its popularity relies in part on people not recognizing it as such.”"
