Browser Built-in Editing Platforms

By Jonathan + August 23rd, 2005

A lot of people must have been holding out on me, because this is the first I’ve heard of editing platforms built into Internet Explorer (MSHTML Editing Platform) and Mozilla (Midas). Look, I may have slept with your sister, but there was no need to hold something like this from me

Here’s a [...]

Javascript In-Page Search Engine

By Jonathan + August 23rd, 2005

I needed a search engine implemented really fast at work today so I whipped up this little Javascript search engine. All it does is iterate through the HTML DOM of a list (document.getElementById(…)), looking for list-items (.getElementsByTagName("li")) that match a regular expression. It then displays (.style.display="block") those items, while hiding the rest (.style.display="none"). A [...]

Kari Byron on MythBusters

By Jonathan + August 22nd, 2005

Is it just me, or are you just watching MythBusters to see her at this point?  F*ck the myths, I’d watch her talk about enemas for an hour.  There’s something about redheads…

gVisit

By Jonathan + August 22nd, 2005

I need another javascript on my blog like I need a 5kb hole in my head, but this is a pseudo-neat way of displaying where your site’s visitors are coming from. (via Ajaxian Blog)
Does anyone know a free service to geo-locate IP addresses?

Wikiwyg

By Jonathan + August 22nd, 2005

This project is in its really early 0.10 release, but I love the idea of double-clicking any DIV on a page and it opening up into a WYSIWYG wiki. Most wikis I have seen are very obtrusive, with history and stats all over the interface. It would be great to see a wiki that [...]

P2P Network for Bikes

By Jonathan + August 22nd, 2005

I love this type of thing as a way to promote the use of green technology in city cores. With GPS you could totally apply the same idea to scooters, Segways, or (let’s scare the insurance companies) cars. I won’t rest until I can take a horse for a gallop around town though! [...]

Generate Thumbnail Images of PDF Documents

By Jonathan + August 22nd, 2005

The Code Project always impresses me with how technically advanced their projects are. Thumbnails of PDFs?! That’s awesome! Now if I could only get it running under *nix…

The Code Project - Generate Thumbnail Images from PDF Documents - .NET
This article presents VB.NET code to create thumbnail images from a directory of [...]

FeedBurner

By Jonathan + August 21st, 2005

I caught FlickrLicio.us using this service today and I had to try it out for myself.  Basically, they take your syndication feed (RSS or Atom), manipulate it for you, and serve it up for your visitors.  For example, they can make it pretty when someone visits it in a web-browser, insert Google AdSense, splice in [...]

Shuttle Discovery Rides A 747

By Jonathan + August 19th, 2005

I swear I’ll have nightmares about planes get’n
it on; just like that time I saw those monkeys at the zoo.  Those
dirty, dirty monkeys.

Brilliant Button Maker

By Jonathan + August 19th, 2005

These 80×15 buttons are everywhere!  I swear, I heard this guy on the street bragging about how great his custom 80×15 was.  I was like "Yah, YAH!  Well…well…I bet I could make one too" but, alas, I was too lazy to open Photoshop.  That’s why this "Brilliant Button Maker" is a really good option for [...]

Fixing Connect360 on the New Xbox Experience

When I fired up the New Xbox Experience tonight, the first thing I checked was whether Connect360 worked. I think I would probably use my Xbox for a[...] Read the rest »
