jQuery and Google Maps Tutorial: #1 Basics: jQuery, Google Maps
There are many times I want to leverage jQuery’s strengths to create a custom Google Maps mashup. In this tutorial, I will walk you through how to get started using jQuery inside the Google Maps environment. I will assume nothing, and explain each piece in detail. View Final Demo If you are already familiar with Google Maps API, skip to step #5, or so. Step #1: Get API key First, grab yourself an API key for Google Maps , you will need this in the next step. Step #2: Load Google Maps and jQuery We want to load up jQuery and Google Maps with the Google AJAX Libraries API. <script type="text/javascript"src=" Make sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your API key. Step #3: Create the Google Map To create our Google Map, we need to create a container div and use CSS to give it a width and a height. Use the GMap2 function to make a map instance. Here, I used Burnsville, MN’s latitude and longitude because it is where I live right now. Step #7 – Add a Custom Message

« Installation de Ruby on Rails sous Linux et Windows [Dandelion Mood] » Une semaine est passée, voilà donc le premier article de la série dont je fais mention dans ce précédent post. Aujourd’hui, nous allons commencer en installant Ruby On Rails sur votre PC sous une distribution GNU/Linux populaire, Ubuntu ou sous Windows. Ne possédant pas de Mac, je me limiterai à ces deux systèmes, mais j’imagine que la procédure est également très simple. Sous Linux / Ubuntu (le plus simple). Le serveur a bien démarré, tout est en ordre ! Effectivement, disposer d’un environnement Ruby on Rails complet sous Linux est l’affaire de quelques lignes de commandes bien placées. Ensuite, nous allons installer RubyGems, sorte de répertoire de paquets contenant des extensions pour le langage Ruby. Nous parlerons plus longuement des Gems dans un prochain article, mais en attendant, il nous faut maintenant passer à l’action. Et voilà, vous disposez maintenant de RubyGems ! Vous allez maintenant me dire : mais le serveur web ? Sous Windows, à l’aide de RubyStack. Utilisons MySQL

Hacked Roomba will google your house Swedish hackers have put together the GåågleBot: "a 'home crawler' consisting of a vacuum roomba with an on board webserver and camera. While the vacuum goes about its business, it extracts text from the images it takes. The text is later put in a database on the roomba and searchable through a web interface." The idea is that you release this thing and it crawls your house and indexes everything that has text on it. Later, you can google your house, asking the index to find you books, groceries, CDs -- anything with a label. Lots of people have written to me to tell me that this reminds them of the roommateware I wrote about in my novel Makers, and I can see what they mean. Gaaglebot (via /.)

Live map of London Underground trains Loading... Powered by Leaflet — Map tiles © Thunderforest, data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

OpenDMTP Create a Dark and Grungy Poster in Photoshop | My Ink Blog Overview of the Tutorial Today we’re going to be creating the dark and grungy poster you see below. You will also find links to the stock images we will be using in this tutorial. This tutorial focuses heavily on blending images together to achieve a desired effect. The Files Step 1 Open image 1 in photoshop. Now we’re going to apply a gaussian blur which will leave the overall color and feel of the image without any of the detail. Adjust the radius until you have exactly what you need. This gives us the base for our background image. Step 2 Now open image #2 (you’ll notice there are 5 textures in this pack, I used #103 but you can choose whichever you prefer) and paste it into a new layer. Grab the corner that extends beyond the image and drag it up to the corner of the image. Next we want to find a good way to blend the two layers allowing our texture to add some grungyness to our background. Step 3 Next we’re going to add some shadows to the edges to give the background some depth. Step 4
