Living Room / Our own "private" social network

« Last post by joiwind on December 03, 2011, 12:40 PM »

With some friends, I am thinking about setting up a social network site (thus weaning people away from FB etc.) and for the moment am looking at Elgg. It seems to be the most promising, has many plugins and a thriving community, also it's open source and doesn't seem too complicated (I do have quite some experience with Drupal - would you believe).

But I' d like to hear from DC'ers with other ideas and suggestions.

Thanks.

N.A.N.Y. 2012 / Re: NANY 2012 - Pledge & Release: Stick A Note

« Last post by joiwind on December 02, 2011, 04:35 AM »

@joiwind, thank you for checking SAN. I have noted the "note move around option" and will try to implement it, but editing will be in separate window. The reason is, SAN is not a general sticky note, but more related to program/process for which user is writing notes. There will be info. for the program window, along with option to search in earlier notes. All these will be difficult to put in a small note area.
Regards,

Anand

OK I understand - thanks Anand.

Anand - I'm testing now and SaN seems to be working fine, at least I haven't come across any bugs yet.

Will there be the possibility of moving the notes around - or is there no point to that ? And, for me anyway, it would be ideal to be able to type directly in the note, if that's not possible then perhaps clicking anywhere on the note should bring up the editor.

Thanks.

PS : what do you use as a to-do lister ? (Curious)
-joiwind (November 28, 2011, 11:55 AM)

My Life Organized Pro. Not optimal for this task (e.g. can't include screenshots of bugs or link a particular idea under multiple headings), but quick and easy, and I already have it. I can't stand the internet-based bug-trackers, and for a single home developer they don't really make sense. MLO does a good thing with prioritizing tasks - one click and I see all the most urgent tasks on top.

Thanks - I'm still looking for my ideal to-do ...

Thanks for the new version tranglos. May I add a suggestion (this may exist but I haven't found it) :

a hot key to connect/disconnect to clipboard
-joiwind (November 28, 2011, 09:33 AM)

It doesn't exist, but it's on my to-do list with a big question mark icon next to it:
(see attachment in previous post)
The reason for the question mark is that, knowing my own fat fingers, I could press the hotkey unintentionally. When that happens, Echo will disconnect and I'll only find out about it when I need to paste something in. For that reason not only is there no hotkey, but not even a keyboard shortcut inside Echo.

I guess I should add the hotkey along with an option to disable it.

-tranglos (November 28, 2011, 10:01 AM)

Yes, good - I agree that there should be the option to disable it or not AND a significant change in the tray icon to reflect its state.

I don't know why mouser is using google analytics here if there is piwik alternative that he can install on server. I have blocked analytics already with ghostery and ABP but still why use it.

StatCounter is better than piwik IMHO.

I think it is (still on the way...).

Living Room / "Save the internet"

« Last post by joiwind on November 16, 2011, 05:47 AM »

Don't know if anyone here is interested (i.e. not too jaded or blasé) but there's a petition running currently on Avaaz :

Spoiler

Right now, the US Congress is debating a law that would give them the power to censor the world's internet -- creating a blacklist that could target Youtube, WikiLeaks and even groups like Avaaz!

Under the new law, the US could force internet providers to block any website on suspicion of violating copyright or trademark legislation, or even failing to sufficiently police their users' activities. And, because so much of the internet's hosts and hardware are located in the US, their blacklist would clamp down on the free web for all of us.

The vote could be in days but we can help stop this -- champions in Congress want to preserve free speech and tell us that an international outcry would strengthen their hand. Let’s urgently raise our voices from every corner of the world and build an unprecedented global petition calling on US decision makers to reject the bill and stop internet censorship. Sign the petition and then forward as widely as possible - our message will be delivered directly to key members of the US Congress ahead of the crucial vote.

The petition is here.

Curt, have a look at Shape Collage - with a bit of fiddling about it could perhaps do what you want ?

wow another excellent solution that does not come easily with simple google search, which makes this forum invaluable

EDIT: oh one drawback: it's not portable. but anyways..
-kalos (October 29, 2011, 10:21 AM)

Yes it is portable - you have the choice during the installation process to choose portable or not.
