by amd on May 17, 2009

  • PrettyPrinter.de is really handy for quickly tidying up code (I’ve been using it a lot for CSS lately) #
  • Morning folks. Reverting to web interface while I try to get Tweetdeck working under Windows 7. #
  • @martharotter @iaindodsworth Cannot restore Tweetdeck on Windows 7: http://amdsoft.com/tweetdeck-on-win7/ in reply to martharotter #
  • @martharotter I’m liking Windows 7 so far. Vastly improved perceived performance compared to Vista. Love the native dual screen support. in reply to martharotter #
  • @arrington You should add a bit of context there Michael, 140 chars + irony == a lot of people going to misinterpret what you’re saying in reply to arrington #
  • @EvertB @swhelband Cheers guys. I’m thinking it might be dualscreen issues. @martharotter that didn’t work, but something else did… in reply to EvertB #
  • @iaindodsworth @martharotter Updated blog post Tweetdeck on Win7 with accidental solution: http://amdsoft.com/tweetdeck-on-win7 #
  • @martharotter I couldn’t test your solution (see post). 1 issue, I don’t see triangle on TaskBar by time (I’m showing all System Icons). in reply to martharotter #
  • Booked my flight to Swiss for Neuchatel Sevens at the end of the month. Always fun for us front row trying to play 7s rugby… #
  • Blair handed Lions call-up http://is.gd/yPWT #rugby #lions #
  • Leinster Season Ticket Holders should have got an email at this stage to say if you got a ticket for the final or not #leinster #rugby #HEC #
  • @amylong Unfortunately scrum-half is not my strongest position and I think they were looking for someone on the lighter side of 17 stone ;) in reply to amylong #
  • @willcarling What do you think of D’arcy’s chances of getting a call up for Shanklin’s spot? #
  • @TheRealAmz feck that. in reply to TheRealAmz #
  • @yenwodt Lol, I forgot about that! @willcarling Don’t tip D’arcy, Will, please don’t! in reply to yenwodt #
  • @fantomaster Particularly when we’re measuring in Celsius in reply to fantomaster #
  • Interesting experimentation from Shaun RT@Hobo_Web:Google Will Use Any H1,H2,H3,H4,H5 & H6 Headers As Titles Snippets http://bit.ly/13BwuV #
  • @boagworld Typical busy Monday, nose to the grindstone, eh? in reply to boagworld #
  • Trying to cut down the number of jQuery includes down to at least single figures… #
  • Regular expressions are fun… .htaccess moreso :) #
  • WordPress sometimes does an automatical 301 redirect after a permalink format change, anyone know when it does & when it doesn’t do this? #
  • Custom sidebar should not close the UL, tut tut tut #
  • Woohoo, down to only 8 errors on validation, all 3rd party plugins. I don’t care too much about validation but it’s great for finding errors #
  • Some of my “WTF was I thinking” domains are expiring, why am I tempted to renew? #
  • @forbairt Well,I certainly thought so at the time. I need to get the Gmail Drunk Filter put on my registrar :) in reply to forbairt #
  • @WillKnott Don’t want to list them publically :) I had 1 about arctic mining, 20 variations on a guidebook theme, some self-help, some seo in reply to WillKnott #
  • My mail is delayed. Someone sent me an email in 1966 about Genuine Rolex Watches, I only got it now. Missed opportunity. #
  • @WillKnott one of my more silly domains was reallyexpensivesoftware.com – I used to point it at one of the large software vendors for fun :) in reply to WillKnott #
  • Question for CSS gurus: how do I define a style that applies to A HREF= but not A NAME= ? #
  • @ann_donnelly I don’t like the non-semantic solution but it’s a good hack. @akohli [link] means unvisited link only? An A NAME isn’t a link? #
  • Screw it, I’ll use classes like @ann_donnelly suggests. So, is this a bug in the CSS spec? #
  • I really dislike support ticketing systems that force a new email thread on every reply #
  • Mozilla Brings Webapps to the Desktop, Challenges AIR, Silverlight http://is.gd/yWWn << I like! #
  • I’m really liking http://prism.mozilla.com — got my Google Apps running in a separate process now, sandboxes nicely from browser #
  • @cksolutions send you DM re: QT 404s in reply to cksolutions #
  • @PerfectBlogger I might try Chrome again. I think I’m a *too early* adopter – when I try stuff that sucks I don’t go back to it for ages in reply to PerfectBlogger #
  • Lol. This may not be work safe if you’re extremely prudish http://imgur.com/K4VS.jpg #
  • @duggan @JoannaSchaff @Shiminay You guys should do the internet a favour by installing http://ie6update.com/ in reply to duggan #
  • @regi Dude, I’m serious, definitely do it! boards could get away with that, business sites can’t in reply to regi #
  • Tweetdeck is playing hide and seek on Windows 7 again #
  • How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free http://is.gd/z6fj <away from ID issue, are bloggers contributing to war on expertise? #
  • @boagworld Twitter have removed your ability to see @replies from people you follow to people you don’t follow #fixreplies #

  • @ayat Twitter’s really groaning under stress – a lot of missing followers and messages lately. Usually rights itself but they’re on the edge in reply to ayat #
  • Jaysus, I managed to avoid knowing the Eurovision was on til now. Head in the sand sometimes. Cmon West Indies! #

  • I’m editing the most unacccessible, SEO unfriendly site evar. Dreamweaver template/JS menus/table layout/img buttons/more JS/duplicate code #
  • Even the guy “credited” with writing this mm_menu crap is disclaiming it, says it was Garry working on Netscape4. Hmmm http://is.gd/AnYm #
  • “The menus are huge, slow, inaccessible, un-crawlable…” His instructions to fix are good: Acquire one (1) shotgun, one (1) shovel… #
