Obviously fun coding projects aren't the only indicator of a rock star, but they're a good way to filter out programmers that just do it for a paycheck.
don't forget that those kind of employee are demanding, they know how to have fun at working (if they do that in their spare time). Give them good food.
Sometimes you want to show your user the strength of their password and although there a quite a few jQuery “plugins” that do this there are none - that I’ve found - that let you set the class of an element so that you can do a graphical representation of the strength. What I have put together is some code that I have been using on a few projects and turned it into a rough plugin. I say a rough plugin because it is very basic and not entirely flexible; let’s just call it a proof-of-concept.
"The LastFM Open Mind Index (OMI) is an interesting way to understand your taste in music. The index is a calculation based on your last.fm top artists of the last 12 months. The quantity of your played songs, as well as the artist-tags are reflected in the calculation. A high OMI is an indicator for a high musical bandwidth and your openness for different kind of music."

This still allows the indicator to appear when focused by keyboard, but hides when mouse activated. It’s the best of both worlds…
Adds two columns to the list of mails. One shows an indicator wether a mail is incoming or outgoing, the other shows the sender or the recipient of the mail respectively. These columns are designed to replace the sender and recipient columns for people w
Vidmeter gathers data from across the web to provide an accurate representation of the most popular online videos. While it is impossible to tell the exact number of views a given video has received from every website and every download, Vidmeter gathers the reported view count from a large cross-section of web-based video sites, giving a very close indicator to the relative popularity of a video. Vidmeter gathers this data like so: First, Vidmeter's software automatically records the numbered of views and comments from the top listed videos on Addicting Clips, Atom Films, Break.com, Brightcove, Daily Motion, Google, Grouper, iFilm, Metacafe, Myspace, Revver, Veoh, vSocial, Yahoo, and Youtube once per hour. Second, Vidmeter editors "merge" similar videos on multiple websites. This allows Vidmeter to count the views of a video on all websites as a single video, giving a more accurate ranking of a video's popularity and not just a URL's popularity. Third, Vidmeter automatically ranks videos for the day by counting the difference between that day's view total and the previous day's view total. The most viewed videos are the most popular and ranked highest. For videos that are new (that do not have a previously recorded view count), the first view count is listed under "before" as we cannot necessarily tell on which day those views occurred. On some days videos will show a negative comment number, this is because some networks allow users to delete comments and thus lower the total comment count. Fourth, the latest view and comment counts are set as the "all time" counts for the videos and they are ranked accordingly. Vidmeter's resulting list of video provides a great tool for industry watchers to track trends in online videos, for marketers to see what's hot, for makers and advertisers to track their video's popularity, and for eager video watchers to get their fill of the most poplar entertainment online.
The IPKat has just been perusing a curious little case, the unsuccessful application of one Mr Kevin Scranage to register the words THERE AIN’T NO F IN JUSTICE as a UK trade mark for Tee shirts, sweat shirts, baseball caps (Class 25). The Kat assumed that this was going to be one of those rather tricky "immoral mark" cases, on the basis that the slogan, read out aloud and at speed, would appear to the listener as "There ain't no f***ing justice". but no, the Registry pulled a surprise and refused registration on the ground that the slogan was not distinctive, being a sign which was likely to be taken by the public as a personal statement by the wearer rather than acting as an indicator of trade origin.

The consumer confidence index measures consumer attitudes on present economic conditions and expectations of future conditions. It is a helpful indicator to understand the current state and direction of the economy as consumer spending makes up two-thirds of the economy.
It's been a while since I experimented with ajax and zope. My last ajax experiment was with mini, getting results from the server. However, the problem was that there's no visual indicator to tell the users that the contents have changed. Enters Scriptaculous. It's a great library that makes producing visual effects a cinch, well to someone with limited javascript experience like myself.
Technical Details One of Weebly's many exciting aspects is the technology behind it. Here are a couple features that we haven't seen implemented in many other places. Customizable strong AJAX use -- drag and drop, effects and animations, customizable to your personal preferences. Use the site with eye-pleasing animations, or turn them off for a snappier experience. Ubiquitous interface design -- Weebly's interface is uniform throughout, and uses ease-of-use friendly error reporting (no javascript pop-ups!) AJAX file upload -- Images and other files are uploaded with a progress bar. As large files uploaded over the web may take a long time, this progress bar is a useful indicator of how much time is left. Back/Forward button integration -- With a robust windowing system that allows a javascript-based application in one page, back/forward buttons are enabled to let a user navigate through the various on-screen windows. Powerful element design -- Weebly's AJAX-based editor allows complex elements to be dragged onto a page, such as a Google Maps element, or a Flickr feed. No HTML knowledge is required. To customize these elements, double click them and choose from a simple set of drop-down options. Data-driven elements -- all element definitions are powered by a database entry and may be defined in multiple different ways. Adding an element is as simple as performing a database insertion, which opens the door to community-driven elements. Media handling -- upload your images to Weebly, choose a size (Small, Medium or Large) and your images will automatically be resized for you. Weebly is a powerful interface for simplying the web creation process. Data-driven elements allow near-infinite customizability, and content created through Weebly can be published on any server. More Information Weebly was created using The Gimp and vim on Fedora Core 5 client machines. We used Fireworks occasionally, too. For additional information, please contact us (info@weebly.com).

Let's face it. Google pretty much owns the Internet landscape. Unless something truly unexpected happens within the web community, I see no real indicator that they'll lose their market share anytime soon. This also opens them up to other online opportunities should they decide to pursue them. One such opportunity is believed to be the much famed idea of a Google OS. The rumors have been floating around back and forth for awhile now and many people believe that it's simply a matter of time. Well I'm here to tell you that this is never going to happen; at least not in a form that we might expect to see, that is.
