HTML Formatting for Custom Menus | Digging into WordPress
by mozkart
For some projects, it’s nice to output clean, well-formatted markup. Using theme template files enables great control over most of your (X)HTML formatting, but not so much for automated functionality involving stuff like widgets and custom menus. One of my current projects requires clean, semantic HTML markup for all web pages, but also takes advantage of WordPress’ custom-menu functionality to make things easy. In this DiW article, we’ll see how to enjoy both: WordPress custom menus and clean, well-formatted HTML markup.

Cargo
by mozkart
Cargo offers its members free standing personal websites with their own URL*,
a wide variety of templates, and simple but sophisticated tools to control the way their content is displayed.
A personal network of their own creation allows members to follow and comment on the work of others, making themselves known by their artistic engagement with the community.
To maintain the highest possible degree of quality, every site we initiate is by invite only. However, we frequently award memberships to unaffiliated talents who share a sample of their work (contact us). Setting up a Cargo site can be done in just a few steps:
1 Choose a base design
2 Add content
3 Customize the look & feel
4 Point a URL
5 Link with other sites
*Note: Cargo offers a Free Basic Service, which does not include certain features like a personal URL, but otherwise allows for full membership privileges. To access additional functionality we offer Upgraded membership. More info.
Cargo websites have a front- and a back-side. The front is a member’s public website, the back is their Personal Network, connecting them to the people they follow on Cargo.

HTML Parsing with JavaScript - davidflanagan.com
working on in Mozilla's research group is dom.js: an implementation of the browser DOM in JavaScript. I've gotten much of the core DOM 4 document tree functionality implemented, and have started on DOM features defined by the HTML spec.

by cascamorto

VirtuaWin peut créer des bureaux virtuels (jusqu'à 9 bureaux) sur lesquels vous pourrez travailler sur plusieurs projets en même temps sans surcharger votre barre des tâches. En effet, chaque bureau virtuel possède sa propre barre des tâches et vous pouvez y ouvrir des fenêtres différentes. Notez que vous pouvez sélectionner certaines fenêtres afin qu'elles apparaissent sur tous les bureaux (pratique pour conserver la fenêtre de votre logiciel de messagerie par exemple). L'application est entièrement configurable et vous permet d'assigner des raccourcis clavier à chaque bureau ou pour passer d'un bureau à l'autre. Facile d'accès, elle s'installe dans la barre des tâches à côté de l'heure, et si son icône ne vous plaît pas vous pouvez en télécharger une autre ! Notez que des modules supplémentaires sont disponibles sur le site de l'auteur afin d'améliorer VirtuaWin (raccourcis pour envoyer une fenêtre d'un bureau à un autre, possibilité de donner des noms aux divers bureaux, lancement automatique d'applications, etc.)

HTML5 Cross Browser Polyfills - GitHub
by srcmax & 2 others
So here we're collecting all the shims, fallbacks, and polyfills in order to implant html5 functionality in browsers that don't natively support them.
The general idea is that: we, as developers, should be able to develop with the HTML5 apis, and scripts can create the methods and objects that should exist. Developing in this future-proof way means as users upgrade, your code doesn't have to change but users will move to the better, native experience cleanly.

Apprise - The attractive alert alternative for jQuery
by Spone & 3 others
Sexy. An alert alternative for jQuery that looks good. Apprise is a very simple, fast, attractive, and unobtrusive way to communicate with your users. Also, this gives you complete control over style, content, position, and functionality. Apprise is, more or less, for the developer who wants an attractive alert or dialog box without having to download a massive UI framework.

I know I am not alone in my love/hate relationship for Google’s apps, the functionality is brilliant but the UI is ugly. Google Calendar is most definitely not the exception to the rule, it hurts my eyes.

HTML5 Rocks - "Mobifying" Your HTML5 Site
by oseres
reating a mobile-friendly html5rocks.com
As an exercise I thought it would be interesting to take html5rocks (an existing HTML5 site) and augment it with a mobile-friendly version. I was mainly concerned with the minimum amount of work required to target smart phones. The goal of my exercise was not to create an entirely new mobile site and maintain two codebases. That would have taken forever and have been a huge waste of time. We had already defined the site's structure (markup). We had a look and feel (CSS). The core functionality (JS) was there. Point is, many sites are in this same boat.

SARDU - How to Combine Rescue Disks to Create the Ultimate Windows Repair Disk - How-To Geek
by decembre
Why limit yourself to just one? Here’s how to combine your favorite repair disks together to create the ultimate repair toolkit for broken Windows systems—all on a single flash drive. If you need to clean up an infected system, we’d absolutely recommend the BitDefender CD, since it’s auto-updating. Best bet? Create your ultimate boot disk with as many of the different utilities as your flash drive can hold. To create the rescue disk, a USB flash drive with a decent amount of space—for our purposes, 2 GB is the minimum size, but you’d be better off with something a little bigger if you want to put a lot of repair disks on it, especially the larger ones. To create the custom drive, we’ll use a small piece of software called SARDU, which combines a bunch of functionality into a single package—you can use it to download the ISO images, write everything to the USB drive, or create an ISO image that you could burn to an optical disc—though obviously you’re space-limited in that case.
soapUI eclipse-plugin
by Nicolas Lescure
The soapUI eclipse plugin provides full soapUI functionality from within eclipse. Apart from "standard" soapUI 2.5 functionality, the eclipse plugin contains a soapUI project nature and also adds a new soapUI perspective which mimics the layout of the standalone soapUI version.The plugin makes use of the SWT_AWT bridge which greatly eases our development effort but may result in graphical glitches with dialogs and some window updates...

Stack Overflow Search — Now 81% Less Crappy - Blog – Stack Overflow
by night.kame & 1 other
Although our de-crapifying efforts have been noble and heroic (well, in my mind, anyway), we’ve clearly begun to exceed the scope and scale of what SQL Server search can do for us.
That’s why I’m pleased to announce that as of today, we have switched all of our search functionality network wide from SQL Server to Lucene, or more specifically, the Lucene.NET flavor.
