Web Site Optimization: Speed Up Your Site website optimization w Color Output on Bash Scripts « Helpful Linux Tidbits Users who have been using Linux for awhile often learn that creating a basic script is a good way to run multiple, often-repeated commands. Adding a little color to scripts can additionally provide nice feedback. This can be done in a fairly straight-forward way by using the tput command. A common way of doing this is to define the colors that tput can produce by putting them at the beginning of the bash script: #! When writing new scripts using templates with these variables already defined can quicken the creation process and help keep scripts organized (my Bash Templates). If just needing to use tput colors for specific instances this script can display the tput definitions and their corresponding possibilities: #! To use additional colors see: Color Output on Bash Scripts (Advanced). Like this: Like Loading...
Yahoo needs a strong husband While the ongoing Yahoo-Microsoft nuptials play out (picture a lumbering brutish Steve Ballmer of Microsoft dragging Yahoo’s squealing Yang by the hair to the altar), those of us who actually consume their services are left wondering what the impact will be of the seemingly inevitable consummation. Up until today I was in the camp who thinks it would be a bad marriage from the start because of cultural and technological differences. As a web developer who does more and more work outside of the Microsoft ecosystem I’ve come to depend on the tools and expertise that Yahoo makes freely available to those developing against open standards. There is a veritable treasure trove of material available from the [Yahoo Developer Network] site, including invaluable guidance on development best practices for “exceptional performance”. Then I did a little test. In retrospect, it kind of makes sense.
Beginner’s Guide to OAuth – Part II : Protocol Workflow OAuth is best explained with real-life examples. The specification includes in Appendix A a similar example but focuses on the HTTP calls syntax. This walk-through demonstrates a typical OAuth session and includes the perspectives of the User, Consumer, and Service Provider. The websites and people mentioned are fictional. Jane is back from her Scotland vacation. Using OAuth terminology, Jane is the User and Faji the Service Provider. After sharing her photos with a few of her online friends, Jane wants to also share them with her grandmother. Using OAuth terminology, Beppa is the Consumer. Jane visits beppa.com and begins to order prints. When Beppa added support for Faji photo import, a Beppa developer known in OAuth as a Consumer Developer obtained a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret from Faji to be used with Faji’s OAuth-enabled API. After Jane clicks Continue, something important happens in the background between Beppa and Faji. Beppa successfully fetched Jane’s photo. Like this:
Who Are The Top Tech Bloggers? We’ve been analyzing historical TechMeme data to dig a little deeper than the leaderboard information on the site that shows top blogs over the trailing 30 days. Mark McGranaghan and I are slicing the data in a number of ways and will publish it shortly on CrunchBase. For now we thought we’d show a teaser – below are the top 100 tech bloggers/authors, based on the total number of headlines they have had on TechMeme from January 1, 2008 until today. The data isn’t 100% perfect as we’ve been grabbing it only once per hour, so a headline that was up for less than one hour may not be counted. Clarification: This list doesn’t take into consideration authors who write for multiple publications. Full list is below:

Twitter Tools, Tweaks and Theories: TypePad Hacks I have to preface this post with a confession: The first time I heard about blogging, my response was "That's the dumbest @$%#&%$ thing I've ever heard of. Why the hell would I want to do that?" I said the exact same thing about Twitter when I first heard about it. The exact same words. Of course, both times I was totally wrong… blogging and Twitter have become the two most important tools I use to make a living, socialize, and get things done. I bring this up at the beginning because I know there's a lot of people who still respond to Twitter in the way I first did and I want to put it the proper context. The thing about Twitter that makes it really powerful is it's simplicity… although it's often explained as a way of constantly updating people with what you're doing right this minute (having breakfast, yelling at the dog, stuck in traffic — yes, that's boring) it can be repurposed into so many other contexts. Some of my favorite uses for Twitter: My favorite Twitter Apps: Twitterific5.
Good UI Design: Make It Easy, Show Me You Care - ReadWriteWeb When researching FuseCal this morning, one of the things that made it so appealing to try was the fact that you could just enter in a URL and see the service in action right away. No sign-up forms, no logins. This got us thinking about UI design as it applies to today's web services. Lately, it seems that less and less services are using sign-up forms...at least, they aren't requiring you to sign up right away in order to try them out. Instead, the trend seems to be to let you jump right in and get to work. Trend #1: Try It Now! An excerpt from an upcoming book by Luke Wroblewski, "Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks," posted on A List Apart helps to point out the issue with sign-up forms on the web. Instead of forcing users through a dreadful sign-up process when really they just wanted to take a look, he promotes the idea of "gradual engagement." Geni's "Sign Up" Process Another example of gradual engagement came from TripIt, a service which lets you plan your trips. Conclusion
Project Management Templates Articles Books and PRINCE2 Training 50 Movies That All Guys Should See Before They Die - A Modern Gu Classic movies like Bullit, Easy Rider, The French Connection, amongst others, are guy movies, but our list is a modern guide (past 20 years). The movies in this list are pretty much everything that chick flicks are not: any or all of bad ass cars, ass-kickings, kick-ass girls, scary monsters, super creeps, outrageous or immature comedy, with the occasional bit of real emotional or intellectual depth. It’s not necessarily about an award-winning film, though we’ve included lots of those. It’s about the elements of a guy movie. Enjoy, and feel free to commend us or tell us how dumb we are for forgetting YOUR fave guy movie. Please also note that much of the content in these movies, and sometimes the video trailers, is intended for adults and might be occasionally be NSFW. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise that amongst our “50 guy movies” list, many of the same directors and actors show up multiple times. 50. 49. 48. 47. 46. 45. 44. 43. 42. 41. 40. 39. 38. 37. 36. 35. 34. 33. 32. 31. 9.
