Interesting. Adobe is making made a GUI for Webkit, (maybe) jQuery and HTML5. In one sense, it’s déjà vu (It’s "Flash-weaver"!) and in another it may be the future (a jQuery IDE?!). They don’t mention jQuery directly, but the method call in this screenshot sure looks familiar as did some of the easing animations. It would suck to end up with yet another $ conflict if they are not using jQuery.

I am constantly laying out guides in Photoshop. It’s a major time suck when I’m making something like an icon map. I’ve tried everything I could think of to automate the process. I’ve made elaborate actions. I’ve tried using the View->New Guide… dialog over and over. I finally decided to try my hand at scripting the process. Well, Andrew Ingram beat me to it and did a fine job at that with GridMaker. It’ll create a new file placing the guides at any height and width interval you want with a gutter and stop at any total hight and width you specify. Perfect.
I stumbled across this page which has some classic engineer humor from "back in the day". Here’s an example:
A surgeon, a civil engineer, and a software engineer were arguing about whose was the oldest profession.
The surgeon remarked, "Well, in the Bible it says that God created Eve from a rib taken from Adam. This clearly required surgery so I can rightly claim that mine is the oldest of our professions."
The civil engineer interrupted and said "But even earlier in the book of Genesis, it states that God created the order out of the heavens and the earth from out of the chaos. This was the first and certainly the most spectacular application of civil engineering. Therefore, you are wrong. Mine is the oldest profession."
The software engineer leaned back in his chair, smiled, and said confidently, "Ah, but who do you think created the chaos?"
You may have noticed the links at the bottom of every page here disguised as `scp` commands. I’ll explain what each is and what they will direct you to. Read More »
Lots of people use Subversion and WebDAV (i.e. “https://url.to.repo/trunk/”) to get to a Subversion server. It’s usually done so the checkout is portable to Windows machines running Tortoise. I used to be one of these people myself. Sadly, WebDAV is slow compared to checkouts using svn+ssh – especially if you’re over a VPN or overseas. Read More »
