Daring Fireball Linked List: App Store WTF of the Week (App Store Link)

by night.kame

Ends up the App Store review team simply doesn’t deal with copyright and trademark verification (with the exception of enforcing Apple’s own trademarks, of course). Any beef Nintendo has ([...]) is between Nintendo and Mariolife’s developer. Makes sense.

A partir du moment où Apple touche un tiers du produit des ventes, ça en fait pas sens du tout qu'ils n'aient rien à faire de la propriété intellectuelle concernant les applications qu'ils choisissent de distribuer.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college.

moominstuff: Polaroid 110A covertomation. Convertomizing. Okay, just conversion.

by karlcow

I chose to use a 110A because I got a good deal on eBay. 110Bs are the most popular just because they have a couple minor improvements over the 110A. Some people convert the 'lesser' models as well. Here is my 150 next to my 110A. See the obvious difference in the lens quality.

Internet Evolution - The Big Report - Digital Licensing: Do It Yourself

by mbertier (via)
When someone wants to license your art, characters, photos, articles or music, how does it shake out? Chances are that these negotiations involve expensive lawyers on both sides of the deal. If you're running an enlightened company, you might have a Creative Commons license hanging out there for non-commercial, "fannish" uses. (Creative Commons publishes a suite of widely adopted licenses that allow rightsholders to release their work for sharing, remixing, etc.) But somewhere between Creative Commons and full-blown, lawyerly license negotiation is a rich, untapped source of income for creative people and firms with portfolios of iconic material. To cash in, you just need the courage to let go of a little control. Read on...

Open Source GIS

by balluche & 4 others
This effort represents an attempt to build a complete index of Open Source / Free GIS related software projects. The effort has some way to go, especially for projects in languages other than English. The definition of GIS has been kept loose to encompass a broad range of projects which deal with spatial data.

Time & Money Code Library

by jpcaruana
More abstraction and generalization is not always better. In the Java library, the separation of the Calendar class seems like a nice abstraction, but it was not implemented well. The result is that the great majority of applications that use conventional calendars have to deal with cumbersome constants because Calendar attempts to make no assumptions about the breakdown of time into years, months, days, and so forth, resulting in verbose, unreadable code.

RDFa and Web Directions North 2009 from Manu Sporny on 2009-02-09 (public-rdfa@w3.org from February 2009)

by karlcow

There was a great deal of buzz

around HTML5 and nobody that I spoke to mentioned that they were in the

least bit excited about XHTML2, even when asked directly. HTML5 was

mentioned in presentations and conversations throughout the week. The

general feeling was that HTML5 was far more exciting than XHTML2.

Interest Rate Cuts All Round?

by polyxena
Thursday will have a similar deal - the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England announce their interest rates. The ECB is forecast - only forecast - to keep things the same, resisting any pressure to cut - which the larger members of the EU, France, Germany, would prefer - but others, Portugal, for example are dead against it.

Opera web standards curriculum: JavaScript in town! - By Opera's Developer Relations Team

by karlcow & 1 other

JavaScript is such a huge subject area that I decided to deal with it in small chunks, therefore I decided to include just basic core skills in the core web standards curriculum.

How to PUT a file in Django | Refactor the Life

by karlcow

Once we decide to go for PUT instead of POST, we step out the comfort zone of django, there is no mapped form filed, no validation, we have to deal with the raw WSGI interface by ourselves.

Let's talk about Python 3.0

by karlcow

Of course, this is causing some people to ask whether it was a good idea; all other things being equal, it’s better to maintain compatibility than to break it, and if the break doesn’t seem to offer anything really major or impressive over the previous compatible version, then it’s natural to ask what, exactly, made this necessary. Jens Afke has rather notably posted some thoughts along those lines, and this post is an attempt to respond and explain, as clearly as I can, why I think Python 3.0 is and will be a good thing even though it’ll create a staggering amount of work for me, my co-workers and my friends and colleagues (since I deal with two large Python 2.x codebases on a daily basis, the migration is not going to be simple or short for me).

htmlwrapper - Google Code

by camel & 1 other (via)
Wrapper is a cross-browser compliant HTML/CSS rendering engine written in ActionScript that sits on top of your standards compliant HTML page. Wrapper eliminates cross-browser issues and makes integrating ActionScript and HTML/CSS projects possible without needing to compile. Wrappers strives to answer the most common problems web designers face without forcing them to learn too many new things. Most web sites can be created in HTML or CSS, then when you need to extend Wrapper's capabilities you can either use JSON to call functions within ActionScript or you can load compiled plug-ins. Wrapper also has built in methods within CSS to load custom fonts, display elements as any shape, and fill them with linear or radial gradient background colors. ActionScript's event model is also implemented within Wrapper's HTML. Wrapper's best features are the ones that you get for free because of how it is set up. It's like getting all the great features of the Flash Player without needing to deal with compiling and being able to create your content the same way any HTML page would be created. Wrapper is fully accessible to the search engines and integrates well with any back-end technology. Wrapper is currently released as a fully functional open source beta for Flash Player 9. Wrapper is set up as a pre-compiled plug-in but can easily be integrated into any Flex or AIR applications or even as an ActionScript framework for creation of compiled projects.

Create a Photo Admin Site Using PHP and jQuery - NETTUTS

by camel & 2 others (via)
I'm pleased to present you with part one of a two part series on creating a photo site using PHP, jQuery, and AJAX. Originally, I intended to fit the entire tutorial into one screencast, but that quickly became a pipe dream as I realized that there was simply too much to cover. Nevertheless, even if you only watch this first video, you should learn a great deal. We'll be retrieving images from a database, creating a simple login form with authentication, and will then allow for our database to be asynchronously updated. Sounds good? If so, let's get into it.

ShopComposition | Composition | Outfitting Designers Since 2003

by sbrothier
Composition started as my way to express and share a passion for design. It started a little over 5 years ago with a 450 square foot space in lower downtown Denver. It was a terrible retail location but I guess I was so optimistic and naive that I didn't know any better. I think my sheer exuberance for the products, vendors and the people I was meeting carried me through that first 15 months. Since then, I have learned a great deal about the retail business and its many challenges; grown the store to 2600 square feet in its current Belmar location and continued to feed and share my passion for design and the creative community that this store reaches. I have a lot more to say and share, but right now there is a website to launch.
