Outlook’s broken—Let’s fix it

by srcmax
Microsoft has confirmed they plan on using the Word rendering engine to display HTML emails in Outlook 2010. This means for the next 5 years your email designs will need tables for layout, have no support for CSS like float and position, no background images and lots more. Want proof? Here’s the same email in Outlook 2000 & 2010.

Twitter Support :: Trouble uploading profile or background images

by night.kame

Twitter is currently tackling some problems with profile images. As of now, people are having trouble with adding new images (they don't upload) or removing images (they don't delete.) Others have seen a sudden shift from their current image to an old image used before.

Depuis deux mois, Twitter a du mal avec l'upload d'images. Une centaine de personnes ayant rencontré le bug se sont manifestées dans les commentaires. Visiblement, c'est difficile à corriger l'upload de fichier en Ruby on Rails.

Exposure Fusion: What is it? How does it Compare to HDR? How Do I Do It?

by mozkart (via)
Exposure Fusion Software At this stage Exposure Fusion is still in its infancy, so there’s only a handful of programs to choose from. Enfuse is the primary tool for Exposure Fusion at the moment, and although it is a command line utility, there are ‘‘droplets’‘ (batch files) available that you can drag and drop a series of images onto to create a fused image. Ingemar Bergmark has produced a GUI for it, not surprisingly called EnfuseGui, which can be a little easier if you aren’t too keen on command lines. If you’ve got Lightroom then one of the more convenient ways is to use the plugin. It still uses the command line utility in the background (you have to tell it where your enfuse.exe is), but the process looks more refined. However, the plugin is donation-ware so its limited to 500px final images until you donate to get the full version. There is currently no plugin for Photoshop. If you’re into photo stitching then PTgui and Hugin may be of interest to you. These programs utilise Exposure Fusion by stitching and fusing bracketed sequences together, with some pretty nice results.

Gearman C Server and Library in Launchpad

by greut

This is a rewrite (in C) of the Perl version found at http://danga.com/gearman/. It includes the both a client/worker library, as well as the server. The server acts as a bridge between workers (clients who can do work) and callers (clients who want work done). You should run several servers (at least two) for both load balancing and high availability.

Another nice background tasks tool.

jQuery.ifixpng - png transparency for windows ie versions below 6

by kobo & 7 others (via)
plugin designed to fix that problem by applying appropriate filters to user specified elements, while keeping all element tags intact. Plugin works well with both img elements within the DOM and css properties specified externally. • It is chainable. • Unlike some other png hack solutions, it does not replace/hide any of your html tags. • You can revert applied changes using .iunfixpng(). • Extremely easy to use! Known limitations (I don't have solutions for those listed below yet - CSS features that are lost when the fix applied) • Always defaults to "background-position:top left" and you cannot reposition it. • Unable to perform "background-repeat:repeat-y" or "background-repeat:repeat-x" on a target. • For the hack to work your item needs to be visible.

S is for Semantics: MIN and MAX in SPARQL

by karlcow

It is a bit embarassing when I teach SPARQL to someone with a background in SQL. Once they figure out how it works, they start to appreciate it as a powerful language for representing just what information you want from a graph. Then they start asking about some of the commonly used query operations from SQL - things like aggregators and grouping operations like COUNT, SUM, MAX, MIN and AVG.
