The Programming Aphorisms of Strunk and White - Coding the Wheel

by karlcow

Of course, "Strunk and White," as the book is commonly called, has nothing to do with software (it was written in 1935) and everything to do with writing: grammar, composition, and style for users of the English language. But in its 100 short pages this book has more to say about the craft of software than many books you'll find in the "Computing" section of your local bookstore.

MP3: Helicentrics Live in Paris | Stones Throw Records

by Neewok

After Madlib was forced to cancel a show in Paris late last year, Malcolm Catto came from London to Paris on a moment’s notice with fellow Heliocentrics Jake Ferguson (bass) and Adey Owasu (guitar) of The Heliocentrics, and stole the show in front of 650 rather frenzied Stones Throw fans. This less-than-ten-minute section of their one hour jam session doesn’t come close to capturing the vibe in the cramped quarters of La Bellevilloise that Saturday, 6th of December 2008.

Discuss: Getting to No

by karlcow

15 Questionnaire

It would be very interesting if you could share a mockup, template of your questionnaire. Or if specific to each projects you are creating, at least, the type of questions in the questionnaire.

On the side of the No No for projects, setting a deadline for delivery of the projects or even a step without having all the materials which guarantee the delivery date.

We have to be very careful when committing to dates, to also set the right expectations of the client. Too often, in a project, it is possible to say, let’s release this section at this date YYYY-MM-DD, the materials will be given to you in the next two weeks. Red flag. It is often better to say, once given this list of items (deliveryDate), we will be releasing this section at “deliveryDate 10 business days”.

In middle size agencies, there is also an issue of resources management. There is more than one project in parallel. Explaining to the client that if he/she misses a particular window, the project will be delayed.

Keep written records of every discussions you had, put down the RESOLUTION and the ACTION. After each meeting, send your meeting minutes to the project participants and the client. It is often better to have a scribe. If you get phone calls from the clients (which is fine), send a summary of the discussion just after.

If you are using a project management system (be mail, sharepoint, basecamp, etc. anything), if the client says “It is not the way I work”, rise a red flag again.

Be careful also of the “just this time” or “just for once” on a exceptional work issue, because if you authorize it once, the client will keep the foot in the door, to reuse it again.

Official Google Webmaster Central Blog: Using named anchors to identify sections on your pages

by srcmax

We generate these deep links completely algorithmically, based on page structure, so they could be displayed for any site (and of course money isn't involved in any way, so you can't pay to get these links). There are a few things you can do to increase the chances that they might appear on your pages. First, ensure that long, multi-topic pages on your site are well-structured and broken into distinct logical sections. Second, ensure that each section has an associated anchor with a descriptive name (i.e., not just "Section 2.1"), and that your page includes a "table of contents" which links to the individual anchors. The new in-snippet links only appear for relevant queries, so you won't see it on the results all the time — only when we think that a link to a section would be highly useful for a particular query.

Prefixes, not that complicated. | Garbage Collection

by karlcow

We were able to come up with rules that make using prefixes in almost any context simpler. Note, these are for the most part AUTHORING guidelines, not requirements when reading:

1. Reusing the same prefix in the same document with different meanings is horribly confusing (”If you did that, I’d break your figures.”). Possible to figure out, but not really desirable. Seems like a reasonable place for a warning.

2. Defining all the prefixes in one place makes it simpler to keep track of them. But understood when it would be simpler to define a new prefix for a section of content.

3. “Couldn’t you have a simple tool that just shows you what prefixes are defined at any point in the document?” How such a tool has failed to exist in the XML world… may write this.

Matsu Gallery - Japanese Woodblock Prints

by Takwann
The gallery specialises in fine Japanese prints and paintings from the 1700's to the present day. Please feel free to browse through our stock of Prints and Paintings. We have included a section on Printmaking for those interested in the process, or for those less familiar with woodblock prints.

UserScript Writing 101 – Manuel of Things to learn - Userscripts.org

by decembre
The Order of Things to Learn Look to the "Resources" section for places to learn about these. 1. HTML. Hypertext Markup Language. Not the same "language" as JavaScript. This is a markup language, meaning it's a bunch of text that is meant to represent some type of structure, in this case, a web page. 2. XML. Extensible Markup Language. In case you didn't realize, HTML itself is a type of "XML". Learning XML is important because many popular websites (YouTube, Facebook, Last.fm) use XML to interact with data. Since you already know HTML by this point, understanding XML should be cake. 3. CSS. Cascading Style Sheets. This is the way HTML (should be) stylized. You'll want to learn this. 4. JavaScript. Learn all the basics: data types, functions, JavaScript's native functions like prompt, alert, etc. 5. The Greasemonkey Extras. Like I said, Greasmonkey == JavaScript, with a lot of extras. A specific page listing the API's can be found here.

Character encoding detection for external scripts

by karlcow

This is (EF BB BF) C3 B6 3D 22 21 22 loaded into browsers under various labels. That happens to be properly formed ECMAScript code for all the encodings used. The bogus results for Opera9 can easily be reproduced in context of the testing script, but probably not individually from a clean cache; what's going on there is unknown. I also noted in running these tests that Opera claims "Opera supports the entire ECMA-262 2nd and 3rd standards with no exceptions" while in fact their implementation does not, the parser rejects code that follows the IdentifierStart :: UnicodeEscapeSequence production of ECMA-262 section 7.6. Instead it implements Opera-only extensions, like comma-free arrays ala [ 1 2 3 ]. Other fun facts include: IE does not implement onload for iframes and cannot modify the innerHTML or tr elements; Firefox ignores "tags" when setting the innerHTML of dynamically created tr elements with no ownerElement... Oh and Opera again needs /th "tags" so it won't nest adjacent th elements when setting innerHTML.

Short URL Auto-Discovery ‎(wiki)‎

by Spone
Short URL auto-discovery is a simple way to link a long URL with a short URL. The following code should be placed in the head section of the HTML page. link rel="shorturl" href="http://short.com/1234" or add the following to the HTTP Headers of the page Link: http://short.com/1234; rel=shorturl In most real-world situations, the short URL then redirects with an HTTP code 301 to the long URL, but that behavior is not covered by this RFC. That's it! :) try it at: http://relshorturl.appspot.com/

Inside Out

by Sarcomical
this one's a very new discovery for me, and i like to look through the blog section especially. their description says it best: "Part literary publication, part therapeutic expression, our aim is to promote creativity for self-development through the publication of a diverse mix of artistic work, all with a focus on self-awareness and self-help. Why? Because we believe that sometimes simply owning something on the page is all it takes to move past it and move on, for both reader and creator."

Free Music Archive

by garret & 1 other
Not to be confused with the Live Music Archive (see the MP3 Hub section, above), the Free Music Archive is a new (in 2009) resource of free and legal MP3s that was launched by the venerable NYC-area public radio station, WFMU (which is, you should know, the longest-running free-form radio station in the US). The Free Music Archive describes itself as "a social music website built around a curated library of free, legal audio." Featuring downloadable songs placed online by WFMU, KEXP, and a handful of other interesting musical organizations, the Free Music Archive can be browsed by curator or genre, but you have to thumb through a lot--there are no easy indexes to get a broad look at the offerings. And while the site claims to have more than 5,000 MP3s available, what's here is decidedly idiosyncratic. Still, as a large repository of free and legal MP3s, it's worth a visit every now and then.
