Op-Art - Smells of New York City - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com
by karlcow
New York secretes its fullest range of smells in the summer; disgusting or enticing, delicate or overpowering, they are liberated by the heat. So one sweltering weekend, I set out to navigate the city by nose. As my nostrils led me from Manhattan’s northernmost end to its southern tip, some prosaic scents recurred (cigarette butts; suntan lotion; fried foods); some were singular and sublime (a delicate trail of flowers mingling with Indian curry around 34th Street); while others proved revoltingly unique (the garbage outside a nail salon). Some smells reminded me of other places, and some will forever remind me of New York.

Quick Tip – Resizing Images Based On Browser Window Size | Build Internet!
by mozkart
In fluid layouts it is easy to format the text to adjust nicely when the window is resized, but the images are not as fluid-friendly. This Quick Tip shows you how to swap between two image sizes based on the current size of the browser, div, or whatever you decide to make the deciding factor. For those looking for a real life example, Last.fm uses this technique on their artist pages.
The technique that will be used can be expanded to cause additional changes upon resize as well, beyond simply image swapping (ie captions, navigation).

The Real iPhone 1.0 | Monday Note
by night.kame
That is why I call the latest release 1.0, the complete one, with a tip of the hat to the engineers who, in less than two years, moved the OS from a painfully trimmed down port of OS X to a tiny ARM platform, creating a polished new user interface in the process. And giving birth to a new applications ecosystem, an unforeseen outgrowth of the iTunes platform.
Et encore, il manque la possibilité aux applications tierces de s'exécuter en tâche de fond. Même EPOC proposait le mutlitâche.

Comment mettre à jour plusieurs Wordpress en une seule fois | Korben
by camel
(via)
Si vous avez un serveur sur lequel vous gérez une floppé de Wordpress, voici un petit script crée par les amis Billyboylindien et Xorax qui va vous permettre de mettre à jour tous ces wordpress en un seul coup… Alors bien sûr les plus sournois d’entre vous vont me dire : “Ouiii mais euuuh, y’a wordpress MU j’te ferai dire d’abord que j’te signale !”
Effectivement, Wordpress MU est une version particulière de Wordpress qui permet via une seule install de Wordpress d’avoir x blogs… Très bien mais toujours mis à jour en décalé par rapport à Wordpress standard et tout le monde n’a pas forcement installé un Wordpress MU dès le départ (genre : moi !)
Du coup, ce script de mise à jour est vraiment le bienvenu. Une fois que vous l’avez paramètré et rendu exéutable, il se chargera automatiquement de téléchager la dernière version de Wordpress, fera un backup de vos fichiers et de votre base de donnée, et mettra en place les nouveaux fichiers de Wordpress sans bousiller toute votre install (donc sans toucher à wp-content).
Tip top quoi !

ShareTool
by rmaltete
(via)
Access your Bonjour Services from anywhere, securely.
Scenario: You've just purchased a brand new iMac and MacBook and are simply loving it. You've set up your home or office network exactly the way you want it. You have file sharing between the two machines and can transfer your documents easily between them; you can listen to your iMac's iTunes Library from the MacBook and view your MacBook's iPhoto Library from your iMac. Everything on your network works exactly as you want it to and life is beautiful.
What happens when you have to leave (i.e. work or travel) the comfort of your new custom configured network? Wouldn't it be nice to know that with one mouse click you will be able to access almost everything you've just setup from anywhere in the world securely? Before ShareTool, this was simply not possible without an extremely (if at all possible) complicated setup even for those in the know. Not anymore! With ShareTool, that complex procedure is reduced to a simple mouse click and as a result, yes, you can be at two places at the same time!
ShareTool lets you access all of the Bonjour services on your home network from anywhere in the world. This includes iTunes Music Sharing, Screen Sharing, File Sharing, printing, and more.
With ShareTool, you can listen to your entire iTunes music library at work, control the screen of any of your home computers, or grab that important file you forgot to bring with you. And this is simply the tip of the iceberg. With ShareTool, it's as if you've never left your own network!
Some of the new features of ShareTool include the following:
Simple Setup: ShareTool automatically configures routers supporting NAT-PMP or UPnP.
Easy Access: Remote services automatically appear in Finder, iTunes, and other applications.
Compatibility: ShareTool enables remote access for any application or service that advertises itself using Bonjour and runs over TCP/IP.
Security: All network traffic is strongly encrypted. Access to your services requires your Mac OS X username and password.
Dynamic domain name support
On the fly compression: Transfer large files quickly.
Secure web browsing: surf the internet using your own browser securely.
and much more!
