Re: Site redesign!

sahil — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:09:07 -0000

i just played around with your site and i noticed a few things. first off,
i' haven't used fancy zoom in forever so this is all speculation.
the images that don't seem to load aren't suffixed with ".jpg" or ".png".
as seen with:
http://markrapson.tumblr.com/photo/1280/1836333...

that's the only thing i can think of. oh and if it's happened for the other
ones that do have the correct image ending, then you probably aren't waiting
till the site completely loads (since it's javascript driven, it only works
if the entire page is done loading the DOM).

hope this helps!

My site is back up (sorry about that). The files are pretty old now. Don't know if they fix still applies.

you just got me thinking... i retract what i said before, because if boner party is fight club, then ned is tyler durden.
bonerparty is my fucking horoscope; I smile a bit because it's so strikingly pertinent to my life, but i'm not sure... it doesn't seem right that something can be so fitting.
for all those ex-gf's that were wifable, but lost, we should pour our drinks and chant:

HER NAME WAS ZOOEY DESCHANEL

...her name was zooey deschanel *sigh*

Man this is exactly what I thought! Next: I need to find all the episodes and start watching the show (I wish it was on Hulu)

oh yeh! I've come across that too i think. But yeh, you could just have both bookmarklets available for users to choose, that is all I ask. Always obliged to help out.

Don't get me wrong, i love the new look, and how *all* the advanced controls are there now. The main reason is so that I don't have to keep switching between the bookmarklet pop-up and the page i'm writing about.

The posterous bookmarklet stays fixed so that even while I'm scrolling around my focus and text entry etc are still in view.

Something else neat would be that while you are in the "tumble" mode, with the bookmarklet activated, you could allow for users to click on an image on the page and automatically use that as the photo post, as opposed to having to search the tiny thumbnails for the image you are looking for; this is excruciating when the page has a ton of images :P

I'm not a fan of Posterous, so I shall continue to use tumblr obviously, cos it's awesome, but I was really hoping for this in the upgrade :\

Thanks!

Looks cool. Thanks.

Thanks for the fixes. I actually did run this before posting it so they must have changed the interface... as for the missing semicolon, perhaps a bad paste?

Are these accounts automagically linked up to your disqus profiles? I ask because this comment of yours seems to not show any info from your disqus profile...

haha its wayy ahead of tweetie. extras include:

- marks
- easier access to filters
- view conversations on one screen (u hav to click thru conversations backwards in tweetie atm)

and more i'm sure. I'm a huge Tweetie supporter but this is great that there's now a solid competitor.

Unfortunately I can't get enough days off from work, so I won't be able to attend either :\

I'll be there to meet up with people for the parties though :P

Ah you win this round. I got nothing. oh wait i do!

It also becomes the brake pedal when you press it with both feet :P

Re: Motivism

sahil — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:54:47 -0000

Done! :-P

Also dude, in posting this comment, i realized while I was using my app to see the comment, that I need to add the option to reply to specific posts :) - I'm trying to keep it as lean as possible at the moment. And perhaps release a standalone Disqus app later on, that implements the entire Disqus API...

My goal here was simply moderation and to play around with the API.

If you really, truly want to understand how evolution works take a course in Microbiology. Most people brush off Evolution as "just a theory" because they take the Macro view on it - "Oh so monkeys became other monkeys and then we came along".... If you look at that way, it sounds very silly indeed. However, think of this way (I'm going to try not to go into too much hardcore biology :P):

I'll address your qualm with "mutations" first. So you are partially right that that mutations for the most part are a bad thing. I'd have to correct you in that it's not a "loss" of genetic information but rather a change of it. And this goes wayyyy down into the DNA level, not "obama" change we can believe in macro type shit. Essentially DNA fails to copy accurately. There are two types that I know of from my limited biology classes i took in college:

1. Most of the mutations that scientists agree really matter to evolution are “naturally-occurring.” For example, when a cell divides, it makes a copy of its DNa and sometimes the copy is not quite perfect. That small difference from the original DNA sequence is a mutation.

2. However there are those mutations that are caused by chemicals and radiation. So in this case, if a cell does get, say, radioactively mutated, it will try to repair whatever damage was caused to the DNA... And because radiation=really bad and hard to reverse, the DNA ends up different that before... and VOILA a mutation.

So 2 types of mutation, Spider-man chemical mutations and X-men natural mutations (as a result of imperfect cell duplication).

Convinced yet? =)

AND

Becca: Fucking fantastic post. I definitely know which side I'll be standing on... How about the US Govmnt wage a war on disease, fuck terror, drugs and whatever else they like to wage "wars" against. Stem Cells FTW!

The coolest thing is that it's pretty damn accurate. "... turning on your home computer to read the daily news paper." She's explaining blogs. And now its more like everyone has their own computer... not just the "home" computer. The irony is that the research was coming from newspapers which it turns out have almost completely been killed by the Internet.

Been playing since 13 I think... Golf is pretty much my sport, i played for my high school but don't have any clubs at the moment, I left them back home. Sometime later this year i might buy a new set, we'll see.

Where were you playing?

Haha if that is indeed what he meant then I completely missed the bus :P

I took it as a reference to Fightclub (considering what his AIM screenname is).

The first rule of Fightclub is...

Sucks they couldn't have done something better. Phil was so excited about it's potential too. I bet he's disappointed.

boo! This is exactly why I don't play games. People just make fun of me for being a mac user. Truth is I don't play games (or know how to) because of the very fact that I've always been a mac user... Whoa weird dual causal relationship there... :S

[not playing games] <=> [being a mac user]
