I have been trying to organize my GMail accounts lately and using the techniques outlined here. Thought it would be a good addition to my Amplog for safekeeping.
I suggest building the filters in a good code/text editor like <a href="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/">Notepad++</a> and then pasting it the textbox. Keep a copy of the filter in your favorite note-keeping app (mine is <a href="http://evernote.com">Evernote</a>) formatted the way you want because it will loose it's formatting once you save it as the filter and be harder to edit later.
I <a href="http://blog.persistent.info/2006/04/expanding-gmail-filter-input.html#comment-8036531651497733911">found a bookmarklet</a> to expand the box in GMail but I had to modify it a little bit to work right. Here is my version:
<code>
javascript:var s=document.createElement('script'); s.setAttribute('src','http://jquery.com/src/jquery-latest.js'); s.onload=function(){ var f = $('#canvas_frame').contents().find('input[type="text"]:eq(4)'); var h = f.parent(':first').html().toString(); h = h.replace(/^<input /,'<textarea ') + '</textarea>'; e = $(h).css({'height':'600px','width':'300px'}); f.after(e).remove(); }; document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(s); void(s);
</code>
Just create a new bookmark in your browser, edit it, paste that line of code in for the url and you're good.
You could also use <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/gmail-tips/expand-filter-input-get-serious-about-your-filters-272834.php">this method</a> if you use Mozilla browsers.
I needed some social media icons for a website I was working on the other day. These were too large but I liked the look of them: clean but also with the full name of the service in the icon. And you can't beat free...
This is a cool place to see what you can do with HTML5 today on Safari (including Mobile Safari, which means iPad, iPhone, iPod too). As a developer I welcome the freedom from Flash to do awesome stuff with the web. Too bad it won't be standard till the next gen or two of browsers. The spec isn't even finally approved by the W3C yet. But it is exciting anyway. And doing Apple device development is a great excuse to play with it all today.

The time lapse video of grafitti artist ROA putting some birds up on the walls is very cool to watch. I wish I could do stuff like that.

This is cool... I definitely hope they come out with one for the iPad, though I am not sure if I can give up the angle support of the Apple case. It makes such difference...

I am surprised there aren't already more "GDrive" clients taking advantage of the Google Docs file storage functionality and APIs by now. This seems like an interesting option, especially if it let's you run files natively from their OS explorer shells.

A sandbox for building and styling HTML. Good for prototyping or playing with a technique.

One of my old friend/coworker's online resume/portfolio for her consulting company. Nice clean, pretty design.
"This Javascript library facilitates the easy construction and deconstruction of URL strings by breaking the URL into it’s various components. This library is capable or taking a URL as a string or using the current window.location and parsing it into a URL object. Any of the components of the URL can then easily be manipulated as required and the modified URL string can be retrieved. The manipulation of query string arguments is facilitated by the addArg and removeArg methods."
How to set up remote desktop to span multiple screens with Vista. Includes instructions on how to create an RDP profile so you can open the spanning session easily.
A collection of tools, some free, some not, to enable collaboration. Some are wikis and others are real-time collaborative drawing, spreadsheet or document creation applications as well as a few light CMS type apps.
A collection of jQuery plugins that might come in handy, such as one to equalize the heights of columned divs.
A good collection of jQuery plugins for form skinning, data manipulation and visualization and a few other niceties.
"jQuery File Tree is a configurable, AJAX file browser plugin for jQuery. You can create a customized, fully-interactive file tree with as little as one line of JavaScript code.
Currently, server-side connector scripts are available for PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, and Lasso. If you’re a developer, you can easily make your own connector to work with your language of choice. "
"jScrollPane is a jquery plugin which allows you to replace the browsers default vertical scrollbars on any block level element with an overflow:auto style. You can easily control the apperance of the custom scrollbars using simple CSS."
jScrollPane is crossbrowser, working on all browsers that support jquery and it also degrades gracefully. If a user's browser doesn't support jQuery or has JavaScript turned off then they will see the browsers default scrollbars. If the mouse wheel plugin is included in the page then the scroll panes will respond to mouse wheel events as well.
"Embed QuickTime is a jQuery plugin that helps you embed QuickTime movies to play directly on your webpage, instead of redirecting your video to a separate page or forcing you to embed a video using Flash. It changes regular image links to the embedded QuickTime video when they are clicked.
Optionally, Embed QuickTime creates a "share" link giving each viewer copy & paste code to post on their own websites.
It works with QuickTime (mov, mp4, m4v, 3gp), audio (mp3, wav, aiff, m4a) and Windows Media (avi, wmv, mpg).
The plugin is released under the MIT License. Modify and use as you please."
"Instead of creating images or using flash just to show your site's graphic text in the font you want, you can use typeface.js and write in plain HTML and CSS, just as if your visitors had the font installed locally. This is a work in progress, but functional enough at least to render the the graphic text on this site."
XRegExp is a JavaScript library that provides an augmented, cross-browser implementation of regular expressions, including support for additional modifiers and syntax. Several convenience methods and a powerful recursive-construct parser are also included.
"We wrote a script to "equalize" the heights of boxes within the same container and create a tidy grid — with little overhead.
Creating the visual effect of equal-height columns or content boxes has been a challenge ever since we abandoned table-based layouts. When developing complex web applications or site designs we've found that it often makes the most sense from a usability and performance standpoint to use a simple JavaScript workaround: our equalHeights() function determines the heights of all sibling elements in a container, and then sets each element's minimum height to that of the tallest element. When JavaScript is disabled, the boxes or columns appear with varying heights, but the content remains legible and the page is still completely usable."
