It should work for viewing large images on product and post pages.

For more little tweaks to websites like that, you might also like Greasemonkey. It loads little scripts that can expand thumbnails and many other hacks.

That is my awesome rug.

Yeah! That’s one of my favorite internet reality music video musicals.

Bum-diddy-bumbum not gonna do it diddy-bum-bum. That guy is so ridiculous.

At the last few elections I’ve been registered as a mail voter and I went to the polling place anyway. They give you a provisional ballot and you still get a sticker.

You really need to get past the GUI thing. Not having a graphical interface with, what, three or four buttons is part of what makes this great. You could, e.g. write a script that checks an email account that you will be sending your blogs to, writes new mail to files which are processed by Webby, and then Webby deploys everything to your site. Just one example.

...

For me, writing in Textile keeps me focused on content first, semantics second, and display a distant third. You start with a WYSIWYG and you start worrying about display first. Not to mention bloat/complexity, limited portability (no Dreamweaver/GoLive/Frontpage on Linux), and lack of scriptabilty.

Unfortunately, the curse remains in San Diego. Just kidding / happy birthday!

This is in the works. We originally decided against allowing images/embeds in responses because we wanted the discussion to be about the original post, much like Flickr or YouTube. We’re here to please though, and we’re going to at least allow adding images to responses.

I was just wondering a couple days ago what you guys were up to. More action!

Natural chunky for sure, with chunky being the most important attribute.

Also take a look at some of the other nut butters like almond butter. They can be kind of expensive though.

It’s not about searching or stumbling
Re: How do you find stuff on the internet?

You’ve established that that site is not for Internet Professionals. Take it one step further. More people than we would like actually search for, e.g. “youtube” when they want to go to youtube.com, and then click on the result from the search page. This site is just about everything that one of those folks would be searching for by the site’s name already. When you find the real purpose, it makes sense that they were filling a void in the market.

It’s not saying less, it’s taking less words to say it. It’s efficiency. It’s not being so pompous to think that people want to read your two-page wandering discussion when it could be edited to a quarter of that.

And it’s not about the five sentences, it’s about a fundamental change in one’s writing philosophy, making it not better to pretend you’re Oscar Wilde and exchanging archive-worthy essays with someone, and instead coming up with the most efficient way to communicate your point.

If you have some friends who enjoy longer correspondence, then by all means go for it with them. But it’s almost rude to force that elsewhere. The five sentence rule obviously isn’t going to apply to epic conversations; it’s all about being functional.

There weren’t always dimmers in there, right? I know you hate the brightness, so maybe some better shaded fixtures would work. The fluorescents could even have semi-opaque covers over them without starting a fire.

Coincidence? Nofollow only appeared yesterday afternoon. Did we even get crawled since then?

I don’t want to start some nofollow epidemic.

 
Jason Scragz

Lets see how this nofollow thing works out (it’s live now).

And, speaking of an empty inbox, here’s some of the articles at Lifehacker that got me started on that path:

And here’s one on RTM:

 
Jason Scragz

With the extension, it’s in the sidebar of gmail. When you want an email to become a task, you just “star” it or give it a particular label. Going the star route, you would just hit ’s’ to star it, ‘e’ to archive it, then you would have a new RTM task referencing that email that you could further edit.

Press ’?’ for more shortcuts, BTW.

 
Jason Scragz

.. not being able to simply stow email away either for later use or archival purposes is going to be a big change

Their slogan is “archive, don’t delete”; just they encourage even more stowing by not going with the “put everything into the perfect folder hierarchy” way of going about finding them again, and just relying on search.

I haven’t found the easy task manager yet, but we’ll see.

I’ve been using Remember The Milk with lots of success. They have a GMail integration extension for Firefox.

@milo: It’s open now so you don’t need invites.

So funny. Because you’ve only been using about $75 worth of Photoshop.

Here’s part 6

Aw, we missed you guys; we’re going tomorrow.

Don't confuse open source with free
Re: Open Source Stock Photography: The list

I mean, there’s no source code in a photo. Good list though ^^
