The design of a physical space can and should take advantage of information architecture (IA) deliverables, in particular when designing an integrated model of IA across environments. The user must be able to easily consult technology-dependent environments such as digital media or printed paper catalogs in line with the information flow carried through the website. Conveying the relevance of information to the user/consumer by means of applying IA principles with a view to designing a crisscross-connecting model of human-information interaction is the focus of these studies.

You use more computers and operating systems to get your work done today than ever before. But how do you keep your files synchronized between them? Plenty of OS-specific tools can mirror folders, but you need something cross-platform and highly customizable. You need the 10-year-old command line file mirroring utility called rsync.

scraplab — The Scruffying of Print
by karlcow
So you design things with high tolerances and gentle failure modes which still look OK when everything isn’t quite as expected.
This is something that print is going to have to get used to. Slightly messier, with a few more bad line breaks and unbalanced columns.

You can accomplish all of this via JavaScript.Scripts include metadata that provide details about the script, including target sites and sites that should never apply. The following metadata elements may be used: * Name: The name assigned to the script. It is displayed when the script is installed, as well as within the Manage Scripts window. * Namespace: The namespace used to distinguish scripts when more than one has the same name. (This is the same approach as used in programming languages like Java and C#.) * Description: A brief description of the script’s purpose. * Include: A list of URLs associated with the script (i.e., the URLs for running the script). The URLs may include wildcard characters (*). Multiple URLs appear on their own line. * Exclude: A list of URLs for which the scripts will never run. Multiple entries appear on their own line.

Creating Offline Web Applications With Dojo Offline
by Brad Neuberg (SitePen), September 23rd, 2007
This tutorial steps you through creating offline web applications using Dojo Offline.
What is Dojo Offline?
Dojo Offline is an open-source toolkit that makes it easy to create sophisticated, offline web applications. It sits on top of Google Gears, a plugin from Google that helps extend web browsers with new functionality. Dojo Offline makes working with Google Gears easier; extends it with important functionality; creates a higher-level API than Google Gears provides; and exposes developer productivity features. In particular, Dojo Offline provides the following functionality:
An offline widget that you can easily embed in your web page with just a few lines of code, automatically providing the user with network feedback, sync messages, offline instructions, and more
A sync framework to help you store actions done while offline and sync them with a server once back on the network
Automatic network and application-availability detection to determine when your application is on- or off-line so that you can take appropriate action
A slurp() method that automatically scans the page and figures out all the resources that you need offline, including images, stylesheets, scripts, etc.; this is much easier than having to manually maintain which resources should be available offline, especially during development.
Dojo Storage, an easy to use hashtable abstraction for storing offline data for when you don't need the heaviness of Google Gear's SQL abstraction; under the covers Dojo Storage saves its data into Google Gears
Dojo SQL, an easy to use SQL layer that executes SQL statements and returns them as ordinary JavaScript objects
New ENCRYPT() and DECRYPT() SQL keywords that you can mix in when using Dojo SQL, to get transparent cryptography for columns of data. Cryptography is done on a Google Worker Pool thread, so that the browser UI is responsive.
Integration with the rest of Dojo, such as the Dojo Event system
Free est parvenu à délivrer grâce aux technologies DSL un débit maximum de 174 Mbit/s en réception et 18 Mbit/s en émission
by rvuong
Les équipements DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexeur) de Free sont d’ores et déjà compatibles avec la technologie "F-ADSL", sans aucune modification. Cette technologie permet d’atteindre ces débits sans aucun nouvel investissement réseau. Les Freebox actuelles ne permettent pas l'accès à ces débits. Free n'envisage pas de lancement commercial pour le moment.

CSS Tools: Reset CSS
by mozkart
& 1 other
(via)
The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on. The general reasoning behind this was discussed in a May 2007 post, if you're interested. Reset styles quite often appear in CSS frameworks, and the original "meyerweb reset" found its way into Blueprint, among others.
The reset styles given here are intentionally very generic. There isn't any default color or background set for the body element, for example. I don't particularly recommend that you just use this in its unaltered state in your own projects. It should be tweaked, edited, extended, and otherwise tuned to match your specific reset baseline. Fill in your preferred colors for the page, links, and so on.
In other words, this is a starting point, not a self-contained black box of no-touchiness.

Surfraw - Shell Users' Revolutionary Front Rage Against the Web
by ycc2106
Surfraw provides a fast unix command line interface to a variety of popular WWW search engines and other artifacts of power. It reclaims google, altavista, babelfish, dejanews, freshmeat, research index, slashdot and many others from the false-prophet, pox-infested heathen lands of html-forms, placing these wonders where they belong, deep in unix heartland, as god loving extensions to the shell. Surfraw abstracts the browser away from input. Doing so lets it get on with what it's good at. Browsing. Interpretation of linguistic forms is handed back to the shell, which is what it, and human beings are good at. Combined with netscape-remote or incremental text browsers, such as lynx, links or w3m, along with screen a Surfraw liberateur is capable of navigating speeds that leave GUI tainted idolaters agape with fear and wonder.

Flickr: Discussing Fluidr - an easy to use web alternative to Flickr in Flickr API
by decembre
A web-based Flickr viewer called Fluidr: www.fluidr.com it's in alpha at the moment but is quite stable. Fluidr is unique in a few ways. It offers a continuous pagination (infinite scroll) interface like Darckr and Flickriver but seamlessly turns into a slideshow with the press of a key (try hitting SPACEBAR). It also allows for adding faves and comments in the same interface (scroll or slideshow) rather than having to switch to a more cluttered one. Fluidr's interface is very simple, but allows you to view Flickr content in many ways. You can do the usual Explore/User/User Set/User Tag/Global Tag/Group Pool views, but you can also chose to explore a specific date using a calendar picker, view interesting videos from today or a date range (or an arbitrary date) and filter many of the previously mentioned views by photos only and videos only. Despite these options, it uses a common two line header that (I hope at least) isn't too confusing.
