Timeline JS - Beautifully crafted timelines that are easy, and intuitive to use. Because there are so many details to the styling, this is not exactly simple, but, if you have some technical capacity, you can override TimelineJS's CSS rules and have complete control over the look of the timeline. For details, see Using the TimelineJS CSS selectors. You will need to be able to instantiate the Timeline in javascript on your own page. (There is no way to override the CSS using the iframe embed.) Then, either in <style> tags in that page, or in an external stylesheet, you can specify CSS rules changing some or all of TimelineJS's default presentation.
Beautiful web-based timeline software Shell Scripting Primer: Introduction Shell scripts are a fundamental part of the OS X programming environment. As a ubiquitous feature of UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems, they represent a way of writing certain types of command-line tools in a way that works on a fairly broad spectrum of computing platforms. Because shell scripts are written in an interpreted language whose power comes from executing external programs to perform processing tasks, their performance can be somewhat limited. However, because they can execute without any additional effort on nearly any modern operating system, they represent a powerful tool for bootstrapping other technologies. For example, the autoconf tool, used for configuring software prior to compilation, is a series of shell scripts. You should read this document if you are interested in learning the basics of shell scripting. This document is not intended to be a complete reference for shell scripting, as such a subject could fill entire libraries. Happy scripting!
Cartographies of Time: A Visual History of the Timeline I was recently asked to select my all-time favorite books for the lovely Ideal Bookshelf project by The Paris Review’s Thessaly la Force and artist Jane Mount. Despite the near-impossible task of shrinking my boundless bibliophilia to a modest list of dozen or so titles, I was eventually able to do it, and the selection included Cartographies of Time: A History of the Timeline (public library | IndieBound) by Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton — among both my 7 favorite books on maps and my 7 favorite books on time, this lavish collection of illustrated timelines traces the history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present, featuring everything from medieval manuscripts to websites to a chronological board game developed by Mark Twain. The first chapter, Time in Print, begins with a context for these images: * Cue in Visual Storytelling and graphic designer Francesco Franchi on representation vs. interpretation.
Silvermac OSX Mavericks GM is out. Here’s how you can make a bootable installation USB. | Danny Povolotski The golden master for OSX Mavericks is out! For all you guys who wanna try it out, but need to install it via a USB, here’s a super simple way to do so. To make a bootable USB of the GM, use this method (proposed by tywebb13 from macrumors): Your 8 GB USB drive should be called Untitled and formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Run this in terminal and wait about 20 minutes: sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction You should see something like this: Erasing Disk: 0%... 10%... 20%... 100%... You can then boot up from the USB by holding down the option key, then install the GM from the USB. This is probably going to be the same for the public release. Note that this will also install a recovery partition (which osxdaily’s method doesn’t do).
