Find a picture of yourself looking straight at the camera and then go to YearbookYourself for a good laugh. The site morphs your picture into a classic looks from 1950 - 2000. A few of the ones that it created for me are in the image to the right (and the middle left one is my new Facebook profile image). It’s free and ad supported. Full disclosure, I had that hair in the bottom left ...

A number of people whose opinions I greatly respect have turned me on to Yelp over the last six months or so. Yelp is a community review site, and a great way to discover cool new places in whatever neighborhood you happen to be in. I've enjoyed using Yelp, and I wanted to participate by submitting my first review, so I created a new account there. As part of the account creation process, I was ...

One of the most frequent tasks on many intranets is finding people within the company. Providing an effective way to search people is thus a key goal in designing intranets. This goal becomes even more important for an organization like Emirates, a leading international airline, which has over 35,000 employees with over 140 nationalities and where more people are likely to use this feature more frequently.Our intranet provides many applications that have a people finder ...

We’re doing an iPhone-native WordPress client, check out the screencast here. It will work for both .com and .org, be available FREE from the App Store, and best of all it’s going to be completely Open Source, which as far as I know no current apps in the store are. Update: Good news, sounds like there will be at least a few OS apps in the store on opening days.

I constantly get the same question, “How do you manage a virtual team and actually get stuff done.” At Wildbit, each of the 10 team members work from home or a coworking environment. We’re spread out across four countries and many timezones. With such separation, we still manage to get a lot done and enjoy our work. Before writing this article, I had not given much thought to exactly how we work in a virtual ...

A core vision of Gears is that the same APIs are available on the desktop, and mobile versions. That being said, there are APIs that will potentially make more sense on one platform or another. One of those that has garnered excitement on the mobile platform is the Location API. Another is the newly proposed Camera API that “enables a script to trigger the camera viewfinder and allow a picture or video to be captured ...

17 Apr 2008 James Shore/Blog I haven't been this excited about a programming language since I tried to invent my own. Programming in Subtext Subtext is a programming language invented by Jonathan Edwards. It's based on schematic tables (see figure) which display logic and computation in two dimensions. In contrast, textual languages show just one dimension (a stream of characters), and it's usually computation. Introducing conditionals requires you to puzzle out control flow. Subtext makes ...

It's a stupid simple idea, but I think the execution and fun factor have won people over. I wrote Twubble in a couple nights of hacking in bed after the kid went to sleep. I used the latest Google Web Toolkit milestone which supports ...

The bottom line of this blog post is that Internet Explorer incorrectly increments a regex object's lastIndex property after a successful, zero-length match. However, for anyone who isn't sure what I'm talking about or is interested in how to work around the problem, I'll describe the issue with examples of iterating over each match in a string using the RegExp.prototype.exec method. That's where I've most frequently encountered the bug, and I think it will help ...
