Pizza via command line. Could it be any better than that?
Hopefully Domino’s in my area will support online ordering sometime in the future.
On the technical side, it’s written in perl, so it should run on most Operating Systems. I’m curious if someone will hook up a UI to it.
Yummy command line. I command you order me a pizza. Now if only we can rm -r the calories we’d be all set.
Title says it all. Download Now. Super good release, and it’s only getting better from here.
Now if only the new branding would make it into the trunk…
And here’s a great example of that theory. Yea right. Voluntary Collective Licensing VCL is about as legitimate as the “Universal language” many Linguist experts have been working towards for generations. It’s a system that will never work because it’s fundamentally flawed. What makes it so moronic is that people know it’s flawed, and they market it as perfect. So they blame Apple, a who recently entered this disaster as a failure. Yet having that much penetration in such a large market, and against all odds is rather substantial. Especially considering iTunes was Mac only for quite some time. And it’s competing against something that has no charge.
This is hysterical:
The vast majority of file sharers are willing to pay a reasonable fee for the freedom to download whatever they like, using whatever software suits them. In addition to those who would opt to take a license if given the opportunity, many more will likely have their license fees paid by intermediaries, like ISPs, universities, and software vendors.
Yea, come on guys. I’m positive even the author doesn’t believe that one.
A much better idea would be to create one open sourced DRM based network that is legalized.
A must read article on all the bad software, and how to help users stay away from it.
I really hope it goes to the Feds, and we get a law about this. All websites with downloads must be labeled appropriately, and all downloads must warn before such actions take place. Even commercial software should note right on the box.
We have warnings on everything. I’ve seen markers that say “do not insert in anus”. Why not warnings to protect peoples property (computer), intellectual property (data), and protect the users themselves from fraud?
A well thought out solution to a problem that has pestered everyone. I think it’s a worthwhile thing to make law. This is perhaps one of the best plans presented in quite some time to combat a problem with technology.
Well, I did get stuff done today. Some project aquarius work (all HTML I might add, as much as “love” it). Tomorrow I think I can finish this front end stuff and get back to my beloved backend.
Also nearing the end of bug 217149. I think this last edit should do it.
Also many thanks to those who sent me an email/comment over yesterday’s post on securita. It will be a few days before I can give this some attention again, but I am slowly working towards something.
Looking for Free (prefer Open Source) software that can create flowcharts, in particular for use with designing user interfaces.
Also in search of project management software.
Any insight/suggestions welcome.
It’s out and available for download.
As expected, awesome work on behalf of Daniel Glazman. I decided once again to take it for a spin. I normally hand code all my pages, but sometimes, especially when working quick on web apps, I like to just draft quick temporary HTML pages for working, and make them good later. So an editor like NVU would still be useful to me.
Here are a few things I saw that prevent me from using it full time (remember it’s only 0.2, and already kicking butt, I expect it will be much more polished and powerful by the next release):
My dream list (most likely shared by most power users, and corporate users):
Ok, well that covers my quick little review. It’s worth a look, even if your not adopting quite yet. I’m not going to use it from day to day, but from what I see, that time will come soon enough. It’s already got some pretty cool new toys, and some polish since the Communicator days. Some cool new toys like templating, and that all to sweet color picker, which hopefully will be in Mozilla soon enough so I can use it in Thunderbird.
Daniel Glazman published is FOSDEM slides. A few things I wanted to touch upon real quick:
- new toolkit’s documentation is lighter than light. Sorry to say, but Mozilla.org sucks on documentation… Again. If we want embedder, we NEED documentation. Example: the autocomplete textbox
Well who can object to this one? As someone learning a bit on Mozilla’s source code. It’s lacking in documentation all around. I’m sure embedder related documentation is no better than anything else. Unfortunately I’m not able to participate, as I could personally use some good documentation myself.
- Firefox and Thunderbird people ping me when they need a review with an editor’s eye point of view but are almost unresponsive to my r/sr requests.
Hmm. I think this is a growing problem since the Mozilla Foundation started. It looks like there are two little people doing the reviews, or the people doing the reviews are taking on too much. I’d love to see some bugzilla stats on the average review times from now, and a year ago. I’d guess it’s taking a bit longer now. I’m not sure exactly how to remedy this. But I do think it’s an issue. Even with more people coding and contributing. And thanks to Firefox’s success in it’s recent 0.8 release, all the bugzilla bugs coming in… this may be a huge bottleneck.
Code getting in early, means more time in alpha, beta before release. That means more time for testing.
* Mozilla.org did not even announce Nvu’s 1st release on its web site 🙁 Even with a short news on the side column… Right, it’s not a Mozilla.org product, for the moment. So what? Does it help the spread of Mozilla or not?
I think it would be neat if Mozilla.org had a box on the page showing the current version of some Mozilla powered products it doesn’t do itself. Underneath put a link for embedding info.
Just my $0.02.
Over the years, I’ve written quite a few scripts, and other fun goodies. Some are used, some I’ve got in production for years, and literally forgot about. And some have never been used. I’m looking in my vault of code, and have quite a few of these little things hanging about.
I’m seriously considering publishing what I have for all who want to use (mostly under a typical Mozilla Tri-license scheme).
Biggest problem is that some need some cleanup, and a few could be written a bit better. So it is a time investment. Perhaps when I get some free time and feel like coding a bit, I’ll put them all together.
Also look for a new XHTML version of this site to come soon. I’ve been lazy, and never finished it after I started, but I do think I”m going to get to it sooner than later. A lot slimmer. And that’s what we all like. Not to mention I want to add some new alternative stylesheets.
Last night, I felt it was finally time to move to Mozilla Thunderbird. I decided to take a moment, and document the move, and show exactly where the strengths and weaknesses are.
Note, these are all my own personal opinions and thoughts. Everyone else’s millage I’m sure will vary. These are things that I noted and felt were worthy to note:
UI inconsistent for Address Book’s IM and Write Buttons (Bug 231218)
Account Wizard Focus Issue (Bug 231216)
Minimize to System Tray, just like AIM and Winamp can. It’s nice not having the clutter, since I have it open the all day long. (Bug 208923)
Ability to use my own PKCS#11 Module for securing the password manager (Bug 184947)
Lockout with master Password Authentication (Bug 23161)
UI is a bit more zippy. It’s also a bit more fluent. The menu bars are much more logical. The extensions are much nicer. The theme is yummy. Having it separate from the browser is a definite advantage. It just feels more appropriate than integrated.
I’m glad to be a bit more modern ;-). Firebird has been growing on my since the summer, so now I get to play with it more.
Temporary patch for AIM icons not showing status (and most likely never will). I’ll enhance that to squash a few bugs when I get to it.
