Picking Time (39)

John Resig (2) permalink
It's not often that new user interface conventions are born - or popularized. Even less so within the realm of web development. I'd argue that Sparklines and Lightbox are two of the best examples of UI conventions that were popularized on the web. Recently Maxime Haineault announced a simple jQuery plugin for inputting a new time of day called jQuery.timepickr.js. Its principles are very similar to jQuery itself: Get users to input the time as ...Shared by Adam (0) aemkei (3) Andrew Walkingshaw (0) Brian Landau (0) Carlos Villela (2) Christopher Bennage (0) Delano Mandelbaum (0) DIAMOND-TIN (1) Hao Chen (0) Jeff (1) Jesper Lind (17) jfiorato (0) Jonathan (0) Jonathan Snook (0) Jonny (0) Lance Fisher (0) LouCypher (3) Michael (1) Miguel Benevides (1) Mikhail (0) olky (0) Onar Vikingstad (0) past (0) pereticnr1 (2) Pickles (1) rickmans (0) Ron (0) Ryan Wong (0) Seth Chandler (0) siva (0) sryo (0) Stefan Gehrig (3) talboito (2) tiffanywantstogosomewhere (2) timmfin (0) Toby (0) Troy Forster (1) Voyagerfan5761 (0) Yakov (0)Contribute comment - Oriental Carpet Creations : Mousepads (1)

Eric Holscher: Announcing Django Crawler and django-test-utils (15)
on
The Django community aggregator (3) permalink
Today I'm going to be releasing a new project, called django-test-utils. It's rather empty at the moment, but it does have one cool feature. That is my Django Crawler. I have some big plans for this little guy, but for the moment it has enough functionality to make it pretty useful. Usage The crawler at the moment has 4 options implemented on it. I will outline them below and show example of the output.

Red writes like Ruby and runs like JavaScript That is the tagline for Red, and they mean it: The all-new Red is a Ruby-to-JavaScript transliterator backed by a custom ruby.js library designed to let your code run in the browser exactly* the way Ruby would run on your machine. The JavaScript output is optimized to contain only the fraction of the ruby.js source library needed to run your code.

Using AdWords to assess demand for your new online service, step-by-step (33)

Lessons Learned (1) permalink
If you want to build an online service, and you don't test it with a fake AdWords campaign ahead of time, you're crazy. That's the conclusion I've come to after watching tons of online products fail for a complete lack of customers. So I thought I would walk you through exactly how to run a "fake landing page" test using cheap tools that require no technical skills whatsoever.Our goal is to find out whether customers ...Shared by andrew (0) Atul Arora (71) Benoit Chesneau (0) Billy Bicket (0) Brian (0) Brian Evans (0) Dan (0) Dan Haubert (1) david koblas (0) Fred Schechter (9) Ganius Tanuel (0) Ghosthead (34) John (1) JonathanJoseph (0) Mark Interrante (0) Mattie (1) Mike Fruchter (55) palmamod (0) Parker (1) Ramit Sethi (0) Russell (0) Sara (0) Sav Khetan (2) Seth (1) Seth Chandler (0) Sho Tabata (3) stefan (0) Stefano (0) stephen (0) tedr (0) tommy payne (0) Vincent van Wylick (4) Wulf Gar (0)- Sav Khetan said: Great step by step guide to a litmus test for any online idea you might have.

Deploying Django with Fabric (22)
on
Irrational Exuberance (0) permalink
Yesterday I wrote briefly about my development to deployment pipeline, and I very briefly mentioned Fabric, which is a Capistrano-like tool written in Python that helps remove mindless repetition from deployment. For a long time I was content with the SSH into the server and do stuff approach to deployment (I'm not managing any large deployments, and am usually dealing with small projects without the resources for staging servers and such), but I've been intoxicated ...Shared by Bela Babik (0) Clint (11) Daniel Lindsley (0) dingyi (1) Fabien (0) fakechris (0) Greg Newman (0) Hiroshi Funai (0) j.c.

Gems of Python (54)
on
unofficial planet python (2) permalink
I've been using Python for a few years now, and continue to love it. But the language is large enough that it seems every project that I look at uses a different subset of the language's features. The nice thing is that by reading different people's code, you can find out about some real gems in the Python programming language. Some of these tips are extremely obvious, and some are more obscure.

I was probably in 4th or 5th grade when I saw it for the first time, and I would probably watch it every week or two for several years. Seriously.I am a total nerd.

The dumbification of Spore (7)

Pharyngula (2) permalink
As anyone who has followed computer games at all lately knows, Spore is the recently released computer game from Maxis that was initially touted as a kind of partial simulation of evolution. Unfortunately, It wasn't a very good simulation of much of anything, and as a game it has only been a partial success, with some parts being quite entertaining and others deserving a resounding "meh".
