Is it cool if a random NY tumblr swings by for a bit?

Re: Tumblr Custom Domain Question

No, not directly. You can't route a sub-directory via DNS. The closeset you'd be able to do is either a small app that redirects or frames it. You could also use the api to roll your own viewer. All in all not worth it at all.

lets face it Yzerman and Sakic are mirror images of eachother. Yzerman has a few more points because of the time he played but both of them played hard and had nothing to give anyone to criticize. They even had the same number.

Oh, I'm definitely using WYSIWYG. That's how Firefox renders by default.

What's strange about it?

I didn't realize there was another way of viewing reblogs when using markdown.

Or are you using WYSIWYG

My favorite part is when he's talking to Sakic. Partially because it means he's coming back next year.

Re: Bush did not steal Florida

I don't think there was a conspiracy but I do think that the entire event was horribly handled. And I agree that winning hte popular vote means nothing.

But it doesn't change the fact that some bush supporters did dramatically influence the election and the Supreme Court made one of the most insane rulings I've ever heard of.

Yeah, a few people suggested the <!-- tags and it worked (as you can see).

Thanks!

It's embarrassing that I don't know for sure but I think that doing display:none would work.

Doing HTML commenting would also work

http://talatlas.com has all of my contact and resume info as well as a link to my tumblr.

I'm not sure if my linkedin is in there, I don't use it as much as I probably should. It's here: http://www.linkedin.com/in/talatlas

I'm currently living in Colorado but have plans to move to NYC or DC in the next month or two.

Thanks so much for the offer. (and sorry for the delay been at work all day)

I'm hoping to join a tech company as a programmer or user experience designer, a small startup would be ideal.

My degrees are more research oriented but I found I don't have the patience for long term projects. I don't see myself enjoying working at companies like Raytheon or Lockeed Martin (which I could probably get a job without much difficulty).

I remember that feeling.

What are you looking to do ?

Looking for my first job out of college it sure doesn't feel that way for me right now.

What don't you like about it? I love it. I'd love if it was embedded in plex/boxee

That may be the case, but I know I'm not alone on this. I know a couple other people who have continued to put up with crashes and slow performance in favor of the jailbreak. There's a lot of info in forums about jailbreak issues as well. It's just too bad features like this aren't currently available from Apple. Definitely much better ways to use the home screen.

Re: Trapped In Time

Swimming_Bird — Thu, 28 May 2009 19:54:28 -0000

I've never had any performance issues with jailbreaking. I've generally found it easier to run my iPhone all together having a lot more control.

I want to make a tumblr verb that can take selected videos/photos/quotes to make a quick post.

Re: heart in a cage

skooks777 — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:10:14 -0000

Awesome. Right now I use it to post to Twitter, look up a word, do
occasional math...

Let me know if you figure out anything cool/useful.

I love ubiquity, I just don't have it hugely integrated into my workflow yet because it's still a little too alpha for me. There are a few things I'm trying to see if I can do with it though. I've just got a bunch of things on top of it in my priority list right now.

Re: heart in a cage

skooks777 — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 22:08:13 -0000

Hmmm, thanks for the clarification. My impressed had been that ubiquity's
features would be implemented into Firefox's defaults capabilities, making
the native browser even more powerful. I didn't realize Taskfox would be
dumbed down and separate from Ubiquity.

Do you use Ubiquity? I don't use all the commands, but I find it invaluable
nonetheless.

Re: heart in a cage

Swimming_Bird — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:44:49 -0000

Taskfox, as of now, is planning on being a separate entity from ubiquity. As in taskfox will be a dumbed down ubiquity with an easier UI but ubiquity will remain on its own as a poweruser tool
