any asshole can open up a museum
Twittermap is probably one of the neatest things I’ve seen in a while. You can associate a location with each of your tweets by adding “L:” followed by a Google Maps-recognized location. Maybe a little bit creepy, but whatever.
The implementation also leaves a little bit to be desired…
Yes, less than a week after the initial release, I’m posting version 2 of my Crown of Daisies style for K2. I really have added some worthwhile features in the past 4 days, though. I went through and cleaned up all the CSS, including some stuff that simply no longer existed in Wordpress 2.1 or K2 0.9. The menu at the top of the header is now the same class as the menu at the bottom, with the ID of menu-top responsible for positioning it at the top. I also added styling to make all posts in the category Quick appear in a smaller font and with a layout generally more fitting to short posts. (This styling doesn’t apply on their individual pages.) The post immediately before this one is a quick post, if you look at the front page.
A similar update to Kyoto Sunset is likely to follow shortly.
This is to test out the new CSS that I wrote for short posts. Hopefully I’ll post more often now.
A new K2 style is out. You can grab it from here if you like what you see in front of you. I also updated Kyoto Sunset to use Internet Explorer’s alpha filter for transparency in the header.
I’ve also been working on a new frontpage for Uni. You can check it out here. Inspired by Brown University’s website, it uses some of Yahoo’s nice UI libraries for fancy sliding efects. It’s also where I picked up the IE transparency trick.
I’ll probably put up some updates to my design site over the next week, seeing as I have spring break in Maryland and not a whole lot else to do.
I downloaded this a few days ago thanks to a reference from Daring Fireball’s Linked List, but I didn’t look at the front page until now. This is probably one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.
.Mac announced a fancy AJAX-based webmail interface “coming soon” this week. This is pretty cool in its own right, but take a look at that screenshot: the column header isn’t Aqua styled. Instead, it (kind of) matches the new iTunes 7 interface. The scrollbars are still Aqua, not iTunes-y, but I assume that’s the result of the fact that it’s running under Safari rather than using custom UI controls. I wonder just how much of the Aqua interface will be overhauled in Leopard. I can’t see Apple being a big fan of inconsistent GUI elements all over.
Preview of the new .Mac webmail interface:
Itunes 7 interface:
Mail 2 interface (Aqua), for reference:
Like my current blog theme? Well, it’s up for download now under a Creative Commons license. Requires Wordpress 2 or greater with pretty much any version of K2 that supports WP2.
I might release some more themes and add some more technical info.
My newly tricked-out résumé is now online. (Leave the accents off of the URL for your health.) It features some fun XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript, along with a boring PDF. Check it out if you’re into that sort of thing.
As a side note, accents are easy to add on the Mac. Just type Option+e and then the letter that you want to accent. I wonder how it works in Windows.
And now time for homework and perhaps some of that good college application fun.
Big update to iTunes, but it’s some pretty ugly stuff. What are the scrollbars doing? They don’t fit in to Windows or OS X themes at all. The highlighted option in the source panel is also pretty ugly. However, the improved video playback, the new device manager (also pretty unattractive) and, most importantly gapless playback make this worthwhile.
The new icon is also uglier.
