Living Room / Re: Five Reasons Why People Hate Apple

Wow, those 5 reasons sure are pathetic, apart from the last one and maybe the 3rd. WTF is up with the 4th one? Typical Apple bashing here.

Yeah, one of the fun things about linux is learning to install it yourself, so then you actually deserve to use it ;D
Linux aint the future for home pc users/average joes, at least for this decade ;)

Hehe yeah. Tabs changed the way I forever used a browser! Micromanagement is just not worth the overhead. (for me at least)  ;D

Nice idea/product.. but you are just wasting time learning this tool and using it. Learn to love the mess, don't waste your time organizing or "grouping." - Don't have so many tabs open! Things like this are meant to help with productivty and organization, speed, etc. but it's not really worth the overhead. It takes consistent use and repetition to learn a "tool" like this for it to be of any use. Get my drift.

Living Room / Re: Has SEO ruined the web?
« on: June 02, 2010, 09:21 PM »
I was speaking to a friend of mine.  He wrote a couple of websites for the sole purpose to rank high in search engines using SEO.  He wrote about online education.  He knows nothing about online education, but he wrote articles about it, just to have some content.  The articles contain advice.  But they were written strategically using the right words and strategies to rank high in search engines.  The point is, the articles are useless.  This is everywhere in the internet.  Software download sites, review sites, blogs,...90% of them are beyond useless, they are often nonsensical.

Nice use of your new word ;)

mitzevo, I agree with pretty much everything you said.  I like Miscelleneous, but because of the alphabet, it would appear in front, which is bad.  but I can write a function to sort backwards.  Or I can use 'Other".

Ha ha, there's another problem.. especially in your case, the order in which things a stored/seen ;) Obviously you want the more important subjects/categories to come first, and the least important last. This is a categoriztion/sorting/priority/importance/etc system in itself - the order in which items/things appear.
I guess 'Uncategorized' is best suited for you here :P

edit: Sorry, yes I missunderstood you, you can just modify the wp category listing function to put it last :P

Living Room / Re: Categories of life?
« on: May 25, 2010, 11:57 AM »
That's the problem with categorization (on computers, not so much our brains) ;) Categories can fit in and outside of each other, so that's why I said less is more. Always remember when categorizing, are you sorting for yourself or others, in other words, don't be too perfectionist on it, remember it's not perfect even after a lot of thought (think about different languages).

I was trying to think of a better 3rd category, because I had a feeling you wouldn't like 'Uncategorized' (maybe Miscellaneous or Misc.?), but decided that fits tightly, you can then just tag posts/pages with keywords/tags like "random, fun, etc." that you categorize as 'Uncategorized'

When you have just the 3, Personal, Pro, and Uncategorized/Misc, I think it's perfect. You don't want to get too caried away categorizing everything.

If that feels too minimal or "funless", don't worry, you can let loose with your tags/keywords, even posts/pages in different categories can have the same tags/keywords.

Developer's Corner / Re: Google Rankage, a FF GM script for adding numbers next to google search results
« on: March 05, 2009, 01:32 PM »
Just a side note, when I set out for the task of getting numbers next to the google search results, in the html, the results are actually inside an OL, which is suppose to order LI's by default.. but the google css overrides it with list-style-type: none, and list-style-position: outside, if you change these to values to some thing appropriate (such as
list-style-type: numerals and list-style-position: inside) the numbers will then show up :) So you could just set a class on the OL and set the LI styles to make the numbers appear (as they should).. etc. I decided to do it a diff/longer way ^.

  66.                 }
  67.         }
  68. })();

I know there are lot of search/seo tools (browser extensions, softwares, scripts, etc.) that already include the feature of adding numbers next to search listing, but I just wanted to make a small script just for my use - I thought I'd share it, and there it is in beta form :) It's not much, but it does have an option to specify to display ENGLISH or CHINESE numbers which I think is pretty cool considering I've never coded any thing with any type of language support :P and because it gave me a small task to achieve.

You can add this to GM by saving this code as a new file, probably google_rankage.user.js (must have the .user.js ending), and dropping the file into Firefox (assusming GM is indeed installed and enabled!)
