Twitter Weekly Updates for 2010-08-22

• Can someone tell everyone at #vbulletin that #ipb *does* have DB topic marking. I see daily people assume we don't. Markers ARE in DB. #
• Sorry about that. It drives me potty when the internet is wrong. Especially about my product. #
• Drag and drop SVN clients are awesome until you accidentally drag and drop a folder into another. Oops. #
• This made me LOL #xenforo @bbsmiley – http://bit.ly/c0mk0X #
• Brain full of fog today. Two coffees did little to disperse. Going to be fun wrestling with Flash and JS today. #
• Working on the #ipb Gallery today. New upload screen coming. Going to be very fancy. Progress bar, multiple uploads, etc. #
• Dear Twitter: Family member after "cheap" #iPhone – worth looking at 3G? How do they run with iOS 4. Advice welcome. Thanks! #
• Conversely, if anyone is looking to sell a 3GS, let me know. Doesn't matter if it's got a few knocks. UK only, obviously. #
• Starting to lose it. Pretty sure I just saw "image_notes TEXT NOT LOL" in a schematic. #
• Hello! Currently enjoying the tedium of trying to tame PHP, HTML mark-up, JS and ajax requests. Modern web is a bit messy really. #
• Takes far longer to develop software these days. Thank God for existing JS frameworks. Mitigates the pain somewhat. #
• Gallery uploader coming on in leaps and bounds. Maybe a sneaky screen shot later? Although it won't show off multiple uploads. #
• More ajaxy work: Have to write PHP layer (classes, front func), JS layer (call data) and mark-up / CSS to display it. Thrice the work. #
• As much as I whine about writing JS/Ajaxian stuff. Watching it in motion is quite magical when it's done. #
• Took 40 mins to figure out what was wrong with this: $(wrapper).update( template.evalute( $H( t.responseJSON ) ) ); – Can you spot it? #
• Congrats, @getnraged @rikkitissier @debugging – I was missing the "a" in evaluate. You all win the Gallery code to fnish [sic] #
• Worth noting, JS console showed no errors. I tested template, JSON – all good. Just didn't work. Doh! #
• Could be worse. I remember having to load a greasemonkey ext. to Firefox to debug ajax traffic a few years back. *shudder* #
• Two things that save me from leaping majestically from a tall building "Inspect Element" and "Debug.write()" #
• Sneaky peaky at what I've been working on: http://bit.ly/cml2Jd (Not finished by any means, delay in upload was Time Machine backup) #
• The iPhone. The culmination of years of development. Cutting edge. Debbie is currently using hers to pull faces at her sister via FaceTime. #
• RT @timdorr Justin Bieber slowed down 800% sounds like Sigur Rós. Creepy. http://bit.ly/d6XkEA #
• My Twifficiency score is 158%. What's yours? (I made this up completely). #
• This is how I'd describe the 'modern web': http://bit.ly/9hgvRU #
• Our neighbour is listening to "There Goes The Fear" by "Doves". This is both really annoying and completely awesome. #
• Any cool or quirky iPhone apps you recommend? Interested to hear what you use and enjoy. #
• Haven't switched on my bb for about a week. May as well sell it. Local family have switched to iPhone too. We use "whatsapp" messenger. #
• Lessons from "social web": be visual; photos & images are important. Be simple; automate not confuse. Be decisive; user settings compromise #
• Early noughties it was all about "user prefs" but now people want decisive software and not pages of settings. #
• In many ways IP.Gallery is leading this march at IPS. Will be interesting to see how it's received. #ipb 3.2 will rock. #
• Facebook and Twitter have almost no user configurable elements apart from account settings and privacy. This is a good thing. #
• Real challenge for IPS is to remove settings a minority use. People get vocal when you take stuff away. A must to progress though. #
• Time to sleep. Want to wrap up gallery uploading tomorrow. Incredibly excited about the changes. It's almost a new app! #
• If you have an interest in retro computing, check out @andytuk's flickr – http://bit.ly/djfJ4d – Brings back memories. #
• Best find of the day: Forum post; brilliant idea for book rental system: http://bit.ly/cnOzDU #
• Something to celebrate: http://bit.ly/ar2SJf #
• “@AzhriaLilu: Admin Extra – http://adminextra.com – is back online!” using #ipb #
• Morning all! I have my iTunes library on shuffle. It's like Russian Roulette! The Balamory theme tune is now playing. #
• Admin Extra: What's New! – Congrats on the conversion from #vBulletin to #ipb http://bit.ly/8Zp8We #
• Love this song: http://bit.ly/dzvtbt Spotify: Tom Waits – Take It With Me #
• Not much changes: (Left, IP.Board 3.1.2 (2010), Right, Ikonboard 3.0.0 (2001)) http://bit.ly/9WoMcu #
• There's nothing quite like a recursive script gone mad to slow down your computer. #
• Debbie appeared in the office with this. Aaawww http://twitpic.com/2gif4g #
• Naked Friday at IPS is a huge success! http://twitpic.com/2gikl9 #
• New business idea: iPhone assist. We log in and farm your 'ville. Feed your virtual fish and clean your virtual beach. Saves you time. #
• A pretty #rainbow http://twitpic.com/2gw554 #
• Currently stuffing my face. http://twitpic.com/2gwd09 #
• I love how middle class @dailyburn community is. Almost all M&S food is listed. #
• Ah The X Factor. It's not about the music or Cowell. It's viscoiusly critiquing a non stop parade of strangers from your arm chair. #
• Also good to see Cowell has upped his "110%" catchphrase to "a million percent". Next year he'll add "no returns". #
• Networs(e)? Blackberry? Freudian perhaps. http://twitpic.com/2gwtbz #
• Wish they wouldn't freeze frame and turn to grayscale on the breaks for #xfactor Always expect a "sadly she got crushed by a speaker". #
• Reading "Under The Dome" by Stephen King. Can't shake the nagging feeling that The Simpsons Movie did it better. #
• Name that theme song! http://j.mp/dlwqT1 #
