I really like Google Maps but one thing that has been bothering me for a while was the inability to select an area on the map to zoom into.
Great addition - intuitive and simple, just the way I like my UIs. Only problem for me is the letter press sets off my firefox search. Perhaps a non-letter combination (or maybe a middle or right click). Also, it would be nice if someone (google!?) would add the ability to scroll the mouse wheel to zoom like msn’s map.
Once on Google Maps type in “Constitution ave., Washington, D.C.” Zoom in twice then drag the map so that the “A” Marker is on the bottom two thirds of the page. Click on satellite and you\’ll see that the white house is at the southern tip of an upside down pentagram.
Now go find all the pentagrams in London and Paris. I’ll bet you find a few squares and rectangles too.
This is a satirical essay on how one guarantee one’s job security by writing completely unmaintainable code.
Contains a lot of object lessons on exactly what NOT to do. Unless of course you want to put time and energy into something for a company just so they can fire you and say “It’s Theirs”. Do realize that the piece is satire and is supposed to stand as an actual helpful resource on things to avoid in your coding.
More codes in here… LOL!
Having a web community is a great way to increase sales, customer loyalty and word of mouth. In fact a web community itself, if large enough and targeting an affluent demographic, has the potential to bring in revenue. However building a popular forum is no easy task and requires patience and dedication.
No matter how hard you try and how nice everything works you still need TALENT!
Photoshop lover is the #1 stop photoshop tutorials and resource site. They have a huge collection of photoshop tutorials for photoshop users of all skill levels.
People who are adept in Photoshop can look at something and do it. Besides I’m getting quite fed up with all the “supreme artists” who have followed an OSX aqua pill tutorial and think they know it all. I suppose if I was starting out today I would have to use tutorials a lot to get up to speed with Photoshop. Looking at a tutorial and seeing how different people do different things, you can still pick up a thing or two.
The thing about PS is that there are many different ways of doing the same thing. But be warned, your skills do wain if you don’t use them all the time. Take some time off from it for like a year and then come back and see what I mean. So tutorials are great to get back up to speed and to learn something and then try it out for yourself. Then you can take what you need and discard the rest.
The better “tutorials” are really just someone showing how they made a piece and going through step-by-step on what they did and why. So you can look at it and say “wow, he did this instead of that…I would have done that but I can see why he did it this way now”.
Like I said before, there are so many different ways of getting the same result that it’s often advantagious to see the different ways. Cause one way of doing something is pretty limiting. But don’t be a slave to a tutorial or certain ways of doing things. To get skill out of Photoshop you need to really think on your feet quite a bit. Think outside the tutorials.
The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports,the Registered Ports, and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports.
While maybe not as “official” as the IANA list, there is a bit more exhaustive list (9213 as opposed to 8817 ports)
Watch this map pinpoint zipcode on a pinpoint map of the US. Start to type in the zipcode, and each digit defines an area and highlights it on this map. Interesting to play with. Make sure to use the zoom feature. This is awesome!
“Yesterday I was shooting some photos of One Bush St…when their security guard came out of his little glass jewelbox lobby hut to ask me to stop taking photos of the building.”
Boing Boing picked up this story and of course from there the traffic goes nuts. There is now a photo contest to shoot photos of the building and a meet up planned on Saturday at noon to shoot the building. I think the security guard is mistaken. For some reason it IS illegal to take photos of the bridges though. Believe it or not, some buildings are copyrighted by the architect.
Apparently the photog (and guard) doesn’t know the rights of a photographer. None of these things were illegal. For those of you who like to take pix, download a copy of The Photographer’s Right and keep a copy in your camera bag.
“It glided like no paper airplane I have ever seen before, it was acting like a REAL airplane. It gently curved into the slight breeze and began to rise vertically without moving forward. The craft then began to lower as if it were a helicopter and gently came to rest on the asphalt below. ”
Despite the authors painstaking explainations, I can’t get past step 18. Once again I am foiled in my quest for world domination! Well I must have done it wrong. It looks just like the one in the diagram but it flys like crap I guess I will have to try it again. Getting past step 18 is pretty hard, but his directions don’t help at all, way too many images to be helpfull. But once you get past that step it flies pretty goo once you trim it out.
