LA, LV, NYC and Grand Canyon!
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on September 24th, 2009
Я тут непреднамеренно съездил на другой конец планеты, равным образом решил поделиться своими впечатлениями да фото.
Америка!
Как-в таком случае так:
- Все очень большое (порции еды, проспекты, люди, ущелье, американские горки)
- В чайниках невыгодный нашел накипи
- Хорошие брюки могут стоить 10 долларов
- Европа современнее
- В Нью-Йорке в метро в среднем 5% европеоидов
- Красивых девушек едва нет. Вся Надежа на латинскую америку равно азиаток
Большая часть фото кликается, если что.
LA
Огромные широкие улицы. Жизнь немыслима безо машины. Большие пустые пляжи, (а) также нет жилых домов выше 3х этажей. Улицы Лос Анджелеса повседневно пусты.
Сразу после заката в Санта Монике
Они без пяти минут не некрасивые! Для Америки это огого!
Очень спортивная язык. Манхэттен Бич
LV
Очень дешевые отели, казино в которых до такой степени и хочется все понести ущерб, классные буфеты и крутое фонтанное понятие.
Ах! Отличный в Bellagio буфетик
Пожалуй, лучшее место в Вегасе
Те самые фонтаны
NYC
Удивительный Манхэттен, своя непередаваемая атмосфера, (а) также самая ужасная странная в мире из тех что я знаю передвижение в метро.
Несколько случайных фото:
Задираешь голову равным образом почти всегда вот хоть
Ночной Манхэттен
И ранний 
Прощай здоровая еда! Здравствуй Нью-Йорк!
Суббота всё-таки
А начальство все то же
На кондиционеры по всем видимостям
Обычная улица, вообще не велика важность примечательного нет, кроме того, что она в Нью-Йорке
Grand Canyon
Во Какой Каньон красивый.
Там идеже стояла наша палатка, паслись дикие олени. И это своим порядком!
Настоящий олень
Немалый Каньон на рассвете
Слева внизу славная речка Колорадо
Закаты популярны
На закате очень красно
Каньон
Мдалеко не, разумеется, понравилось. Вернусь. =)
P.S.: А вона на этих горках (невыгодный бойтесь, вы забудете что видели это видео после первых 30 секунд аттракциона) я просто безлюдный (=малолюдный) смог не кричать (ми казалось что только это может меня спасти):
Вото эти парни сейчас начнут приходиться головой вниз. Понимаете?
Блог на HTML5
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on September 24th, 2009
Этак было так просто, что я маловыгодный удержался. Новые таги такие миленькие!
Доктайп (а) также новые таги
На самом деле пуще ничего и не изменилось. Ну, кроме, соответствующих изменений в CSS блога.
Доктайп маловыгодный может не радовать, тем что его впервые в жизни можно постигнуть наизусть (невалидные не предлагать, я благопристойный верстальщик):
- <!DOCTYPE html>
Класс, да? =)
В HTML5 ввели несколько структурных тагов, собственно, они — едва единственное, что можно занимать из нового стандарта прямо сейчас. Потому я просто мало(сть) переписал HTML для блога, с тем чтобы он стал более понятным.
Самые приятные новые таги будут: <header>,<footer>,<nav>,<article> — говорят сами за себя.
<aside> — вторичный контент, в таком случае, что обычно в сайдбаре.
<section> — какой-никакой-то смысловой раздел документа.
Собственно переход
Все очень просто, если у меня в коде было:
- <!‐‐ BEGIN .hentry ‐‐>
- <div class=’hentry’>
- capacity
- </div>
- <!‐‐ END .hentry ‐‐>
То таким образом:
- <article class=’hentry’>
- content
- </article>
И комментарии вобщем излишни. Я (а) также класс-то оставляю только ради микроформатов, но после-хорошему они должны будут понимать равным образом сам таг article.
Таким но образом боковая колонка:
- <!‐‐ BEGIN .subsidiary ‐‐>
- <div class=’supportive’>
- боковая колонка
- </div>
- <!‐‐ END .minor ‐‐>
превращается в:
- <aside>
- боковая колонка
- </aside>
И если все показать по самое некуда:
Новые таги
Их а можно увидеть если сработать View Source на этой страничке сейчас.
Есть в этом какая-так красота 
.
На самом деле оставшиеся классы равным образом айди почти полностью был в состоянии бы заменить суперсемантичный свойство role, но атрибутивные селекторы поколе не всем доступны. А было бы красиво:
- <section capacity=”maincontent”>
А в CSS:
- section[character=maincontent] {
- bla:bla;
- }
Код с читается.
Оговорки в использовании
IE в области умолчанию не будет допускать возможности стилизовать новые таги. Однако, со помощью джаваскрипта его можно заставить (возможно кто-в таком случае помнит, как это было из <acronym>):
- <!‐‐[if IE]>
- <calligraphy>
- document.createElement(’header’);
- chronicle.createElement(’footer’);
- particularize.createElement(’section’);
- particularize.createElement(’aside’);
- verify.createElement(’nav’);
- report.createElement(’article’);
- </book>
- <![endif]‐‐>
Этак все новые таги, которые я использовал пользу кого блога.
Вторым нюансом является в таком случае, что эти элементы кайфовый всех браузерах по умолчанию будут инлайновыми. То жрать вам придется написать в CSS что-ведь вроде:
- header, nav, article, footer,section {
- display:deterrent;
- }
С этим можно добывать средства к жизни.
Третий и заключительный нюанс. Некоторые браузеры (Camino, Firefox2) будут некорректно образовывать DOM c новыми тагами. Чтобы порешать этот вопрос, по доброжелательный иронии, вам придется отсылать вашу HTML5 страничку из контент-тайпом application/xhtml+xml. Но я голосую за колебание: «Наплевать».
Сладкое
В HTML5 добавили таги <video> равно <audio>:
- <video src=’xxx.yyy’ autoplay controls>
- <a href=”xxx.yyy”>Download this video (али другой альтернативный контент, если видео держи загрузится)</a>
- </video>
Вото так выглядят сейчас дефолтовые проигрыватели видео в браузерах:
В Сафари, неважный (=маловажный) очень красивые дефолтовые контролы
В Firefox 3.5b
Opera решила пленить только одну версию своего браузера поддерживающую <video>. Потому с тем чтобы увидеть видео в действии вас понадобится даунгрейдиться до 9.52. Спасибо @pepelsbey из Оперы за разъяснения
Однако, видишь так выглядит там репетирование видео:
В Opera 9.52, получи и распишись иконку «Пауза» я навел курсор.
Во всех браузерах контролы исчезают когда-когда курсор не на видео.
Оценивать красоту часа) бессмысленно, мы все просто играем начиная с. Ant. до новым понятием. Но я решил что бросьте интересно посмотреть, как это выглядит сейчас. В любом случае от помощью несложного javascript можно сложить свои собственные элементы управления, любого внешнего вида. В этом, собственно, (а) также преимущество того, что видео доверили браузерам.
О часть как использовать HTML5-видео сейчас сейчас читайте дальше.
Ссылки
Не стоит тревожиться что HTML5 еще никак не стандарт, и получит положение «Proposed recommendation» лишь в 2022 году. Он ранее частично поддерживается браузерами, (а) также большие компании начинают вместе с ним играться. Поиграйтесь да вы.
На самом деле войдет в общежитие гораздо раньше, не стоит пугаться 22го года.

И, да, это все доколь лишь эксперименты. Не ради серьезного использования, конечно.
Но, вместе с HTML5 снова стало славно расставлять таги. Всё как в первый раз.
Копировать в буфер
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on September 24th, 2009
Не самая критичная фича, но смертельно специфическая в реализации.
Чв таком случае это и зачем
Обычно эту кнопку помещают при всяких «кодов в (видах вставки» видео, иначе картинок. Чтобы людям было элементарнее копировать. Как-в таком случае так:
Копирование ссылки нате одном из укоротителей ссылок
Копирование заключение на dni.ru
Как это делают
Скопировать в жопа в IE можно обычным джаваскриптом:
- window.clipboardData.setData(’Text’,’Текст некоторый будет в буфере’);
У всех остальных браузеров настройки безопасности по части дефолту не позволят это засандалить. Потому обычно этот вопрос решали не без; помощью Flash. Динамически создавался флэш ролик, равным образом в его параметры добавляли текст, кто нужно было поместить в бампер. А сам флэш сделано имеет доступ к буферу в любой системе-браузере, хоть бы так:
- flash = '<embed src="copy.swf" FlashVars="clipboard='+encodeURIComponent(t)+'" width="0" apex="0" group="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>';
- fundamental.innerHTML = flash;
Ролик запрограммирован в) такой степени, что при создании безотложно копирует свой параметр clipboard пользователю в бампер.
Так это всегда да работало. Но.
Проблема
Однако, по осени 2008 в флэше нашелся эксплойт, по причине которому злоумышленники могли как нужно использовать буфер обмена пользователя сверх его ведома (собственно, метод изложенный выше и был эксплойтом). Поэтому в Flash 10 было введено ограничение
With Flash Player 10, the System.setClipboard() method may be successfully called only through ActionScript that originates from drug interaction.
Потому, получи самом деле, вся та штабель плагинов для jquery, возьмите хоть, которые вы нагуглите до запросу «jquery copy to clipboard» простой не работает в 10м Flash плеере.
При этом, они отлично работают в 8 (а) также 9 версиях (что внесло кучу путаницы в разбирательство вместе с ситуацией). Но учитывая что 10й имеет долю большею частью 50% нет никакого смысла его и бровью не вести. Копирование в гидробуфер старым способом больше где там считать надежным.
Решение
Так как ми в одном из проектов ни на полушку обязательно надо было реализовать эту фичу. Пришлось потреблять единственный на данный подожди вариант. Его я нашел реиспользуемым в своих а интересах.
Способ прост: если не рука скопировать без клика в флэше, значит будем вопить на флэш.
Genn помог не без; самой простой и гибкой реализацией этой идеи.
Мы создали флэш-кнопку в качестве параметров которой передаются:
clipboard— текст каковой нужно скопировать в задницаnormal— картинка к для дефолтового состояния кнопкиaround— картинка для mouseover состояния кнопкиpressed— картинка во (избежание нажатого состояния кнопки
linger и pressed можно неважный (=маловажный) задавать, тогда кнопка просто неважный (=маловажный) будет изменяться при клике равным образом наведении курсора. Текст из переменной clipboard копируется в задница при клике на кнопку.
Пользу Кого примера взял две такие картинки:
Зеленая дефолтовая, синяя во (избежание нажатого состояния. Потому что зеленый выгодно отличается.
И самый простой пример иллюстрирующий приспосабливание, там же и другие примеры. Фактически начиная с. Ant. до помощью одного этого ролика можно забахать почти любую нужную кнопку. Исполнение) чего я, собственно, это все равным образом затеял =)

- Thanx in support of not killing the Flash clipboard
- Примеры кнопок (скачать файлы)

- Способ начиная с. Ant. до джаваскриптом подставляющим поверх кнопок светлый флэш-ролик (Спасибо Иван!)

Собственно пост я написал затем) чтоб(ы) никто не пытался реализовать декалькирование в буфер с через старого джаваскрипта. И затем чтоб никогда больше не тревожиться. Ant. находиться в состоянии покоя об этой проблеме самому. =)
Update: Как оказалось этот флэш-метод безвыгодный работает на Ubuntu c Gnash/swfdec. Однако получи и распишись этих эмуляторах не работают да никакие другие методы. Спасибо Владимиру за указание бери проблему!
Business Applications Of Social Media Inside Organizations: An Overview
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on September 24th, 2009
Is social media good in search business? How do organizations use social media to recover their marketing effectiveness and in addition their sales?
Photo credit: Stephen VanHorn
Social media is making able inroads in the concern world, but understanding how to leverage social media nicely remains one of the greatest marketing challenges to overcome.
While there is no secret formulary with which your function can benefit from social media, there are a troop of facts that do point clearly at the increasing relevance of using social media to refurbish their business opportunities:
- The use of social media is growing rapidly. eMarketer predicts that in just four years more than 50% of Internet users are going to be regular social media visitors.
- Traditional marketing channels have become tricky venues to promote your product. Consumers are questionable of marketing and relationships created ad hoc to shop-girl a product do not work anymore.
- Social media is focused on engagement, community and authority. Your marketing approach in the notice economy, should be to create a community of unswerving visitors and “evangelists” fitting for your brand, willingly spreading the solemn word of honour about what you do.
- Social media is emerging as a reliable indicator of online advertising performances.
“OK” – you may say now – “I am starting to show compassion for the value of social media benefit of my business, but what order of social media should my company use?”
Linkedin and Facebook seem now the preferred venues due to the fact that businessmen, while blogs are the most popular form of social media that organizations are starting to use.
How do I be acquainted with all this?
Josh Gordon, marketing adviser and president of Selling 2.0, has prearranged an extremely useful social media story providing interesting insight about the use and adoption of social media inside the enterprise and corporate world.
Part one of this document provides an overview on how much organizations are familiar with social media and why their management is predicted to grow exponentially in the next not many years.
Here all the details:
The Coming Change In Social Media Partnership Applications:
Separating The Biz From The Buzz
around Josh Gordon
Introduction
A shift is coming in how organizations use social media
Companies have been using social media primarily as a general communications tool – mostly through despite public relations and marketing. That is about to change, as businesses invent its value as an quintessential tool for customer engagement – providing fool generation, immediate customer contact, and customer interaction.
Four factors are driving this rage.
- First, due to the speedy rise in the favour of social media, the few of potential customers employed on social media sites was previously underestimated before many organizations.
- Second, in the widespread economic downturn, where there are fewer customers in general, finding them and pleasing them are much higher priorities.
- Third, there is now a “Main Street” acceptance of social media as a formidable persuasive tool. Regardless of political affiliation, managers everywhere recently noticed that the largest and most successful social media campaign in history helped chosen Barack Obama President of the Collective States.
- Finally, there has been a failure in traditional lead-generation programs. With more customer contact operating online, it is easier than in any case for a client to ignore messages from imminent suppliers. Social media can expropriate break the ice.
Why This About?
Social media is getting a lot of media coverage, but all the notice does not necessarily make it easier to be aware of which functions are in fact useful in business. This weigh was designed to provide managers with guidance in that area past measuring which social media tools are being tolerant of right now, and nearby whom.
A look at what other businesses are doing can come forward perspective, as well as a benchmark on managers to compare their own organizations’ progress and opportunities.
In order exchange for a benchmark to be useful, it must be exact and detailed. To that end, I have divided this survey into three parts.
- Part I is an overview of both reported and future intended company use of social media.
- Part II focuses on the responsibility use of Twitter.
- Part III examines the matter use of social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn, with a withdrawn focus on the four general work functions that social media serves: sales, marketing, public relations, and internal communications.
Overview
Unequalled Business Uses of Social Media
Most popular occupation uses of social media
Marketing and PR are currently the unsurpassed business uses of social media; sales and collaborative work away behind.
Social media is being Euphemistic pre-owned in business most often as a marketing and public relations tool, while uses in sales support and collaborative work poke along behind.
Almost three quarters of respondents said their organizations use social media conducive to branding, and two thirds use it someone is concerned public relations. Only 38% are using it to support collaborative work, and only about one in four use it to support sales efforts.
In Generation
Most frequently desired role functions in social media
Looking to the future, “live generation” is the greatest business function for which organizations most fancy to use social media.
Organizations have shifted priority.
With the economic downturn, “take the lead generation” has moved to the best spot as the dealing function organizations are “most bearing in mind” for the future.
The two currently most frequently against functions, branding and public relations, follow behind. This is a highly significant shift, and is reinforced nigh other findings in this survey.
Customer Competition
Problem social media use object of external communications
When competing as a replacement for customers, smaller organizations use social media more frequently.
The smaller the company, the more frequently social media is acclimated to to improve external communications.
As we look like social media usage at smaller companies with one to 10 employees to organizations with on 1,000, there is a regular decrease in the percentage of practice.
Companies with 10 or fewer employees are about 30% more likely to use social media over the extent of public relations, branding, and understanding customers than companies with through 1,000 employees, and twice as likely to use it representing lead generation.
Internal Communications
Responsibility social media use on internal communications
Larger organizations use social media more frequently fitted internal communications.
Organizations with over 1,000 employees are twice as likely to use social media for the purpose internal communications as companies with one to 10 employees, and roughly 18% more likely to use social media in the service of collaborative work.
Larger organizations have more complex and geographically dispersed communications challenges. In addition, they often have more experienced IT support. They be in want of the communications services more, and they have the technical support to take advantage of them.
Where larger organizations have more resources to touch their customers, such as corporate advertising, social media may not be as big a priority.
However, with less mazuma for outreach programs, smaller companies can make big inroads next to focusing more on social media.
Encouraging Social Media
Occupation social media policies most reach-me-down inside organizations
More organizations encourage the use of social media than suppress It.
It was not long ago that many organizations discouraged employees from visiting social media sites, with many of them blocking access to sites starkly.
But today, 41.2% of businesses have employees whose job function includes spending ever on social media sites, while only 9% announce blocking internal access for the sake of employees.
Whereas 41.9% of organizations check up on that they have no corporate strategy of any kind regarding social media, 21.8% despatch having a formal strategy for employees who hanker after to blog.
Finally, about one in four organizations sponsors a aggregation on a social network on account of personal announcements and social events.
Foremost Social Media For Establishment
Most used social media technologies and tools because business organizations
LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging pilot social media services and activities representing business
Four services dominate the use of social media networks and tools:
- LinkedIn (79.3% of respondents now using),
- Facebook (77.2% now using),
- Twitter (75.3% now using).
- Use of blogs follows closely behind, with 68% of businesses currently using them.
- Only 17.2% of organizations use MySpace to go to business.
Blogs As Preferred Social Media
Social media tools organizations are turning to most
As organizations look to the future, the social media form they are “most taking into consideration” using is blogs.
While Twitter and Facebook get the headlines, the social media form organizations are turning to most as they look to the future is blogging.
Some regard blogging “old” social media, but it has proven itself an effective communication tool.
The talents to reach a mass audience with a individual point of view and invite comments is greatly powerful.

Untangling The Web
Networks serve as a useful model to trace electricity grids, business vigour, the internet, spread of diseases, and plane obesity.
Caution is warranted, however, in across emphasizing networks.
In themselves, networks reveal a organize and mode of organizing. They can serve as both a foundation on which to construct societal structures (such as education) and as a gateway to action.
Network analysis reveals the flow of dope in an organization.
As important as the form itself is the why and how of connection forming.
- Why do two people share dirt with each other?
- What impact does a connection (social or conceptual) have on a novice’s level of understanding a under the control of b dependent on?
Mindhacks links to some reports addressing network structures underlying exhilaration and health.
Microsoft and Google
Through Despite most of the late 80’s and into early 2000, innovation on the desktop seemed slow or requite non-existent.
Microsoft dominated the insulting computer experience. That has changed.
Between Apple, Google, and open source software, innovation abounds.
- Fresh devices (iPhone),
- views of software (cloud computing) and
- applications (Google Docs)
have generated a reborn spirit of progress around knowledge and communication technologies.
Microsoft recognizes the threat and is responding nigh developing an online rendition of its Office suite. Techcrunch has a (mostly) positive overview of the service, expected benefit of public release next year.
Indistinguishability, Memory, Death and The Internet
Dave Cormier offers an insightful (and touching) assign on how identity and remembrance are preserved online. He compares the passing of a confrere (last year) and his kinsman (20 years ago) and how they are remembered today.
The congruence people create online today is, in a sense, a strong point to their children and future generations. I differentiate my grandparents through a scarcely any black and white pictures. As Cormier notes, his children / grandchildren will recollect him through rich media. Memories preserved in plenary colour.
Too often, when discussing personality, the focus rests on “do not advertise this online, you will mournfulness it in the future when you are [running representing office, interviewing for a green job, etc.]“. The flip side of this argument is aptly expressed in Dave’s put.
Taming Digital Distractions
Forget multitasking.
The real challenge many people face in work productivity is coping with distractions. I find it rather easy to ignore activities I ought to be doing with sites like
at my finger tips.
It is always been easy to find distractions (going after coffee with a fellow-worker, chats around the water cooler), but in spite of that then, a bit of effort was required. I literally had to leave my office.
Now, distractions are much more accessible. But there are ways of coping with, of course, more technology.
The Future of Work
Britannica is getting dirty with their blog postings. Most posts – settle accounts ones I disagree with – are usually objectively well though-tout.
Then, they locate this: The Future World of Work: Flexible and Decentralized. The circulate is poorly presented and mostly speculative. Most obvious is the generational argument.
Work in organizations is changing. That has nothing to do with generational differences. Technological advances in communication and collaboration tools are producing a distributed workforce. What does that have to do with age?
The idea that work is changing is advantage exploring. The concept that it is generational is fool.
Thoughts On New Learning
With CCK09 now underway, I am having a bit of trouble keeping up with posts and reflections of learners.
We encourage individuals to set up blogs (or use Moodle, SecondLife, whatever else)… and reading blog posts takes more effort than reading analysis forums.
- Discussion forum posts are generally shorter and the context is often established close to the original post.
- Blogs also manifest to be a better environment in favour of a deeper level of analysis. I am not true why – perhaps it is well-earned to the sense of slighting space or identity.
“… Humans have an innate motivation to participate in shared knowlege and that it is this motivation that makes literature for “real” audiences more rewarding to students than writing on account of an individual “teacher”… is connective learning actually self-reinforcing?
Is the building of community a means to an end (learning), an end in and of itself, or both?
Put another way, would you sustain writing your blog of you knew zero was reading it?“
Immediacy
Location and immediacy are two big trends developing in part to mobile devices – constant connectivity enables us to receive word in context – i.e. location… and microblogging produces a constant flow of gen. The implications of immediacy is especially interesting.
What used to be an slow the record comment can now be broadcast immediately.
Mull Over Obama’s experience this week. In Place Of celebrities and leaders, the concept of a “safe zone” or an “off the mark period” simply do not endure.
I wonder how many higher education faculty are blissfully insensible that their statements / give a speech habits / clothing choice are the topic of lively dialogue and commentary on Facebook / Twitter / Friendfeed?
Why Studies About Multitasking Are Missing The Point
Multitasking has gotten crabby publicity recently.
I personally do not think I multitask – I reprimand switch. Some people can assignment switch rapidly. Others prefer to focus on one detail at a time. However, this article – why studies about multitasking Are missing the point – takes a different stance.
The originator states:
“If you arbitrate a juggler by how many times the balls hit the crush and contrast that with someone throwing and catching one ball at a habits, the juggler will always lose. But the juggler is doing something different“.
This is a valid point, but it also misses the differences in the archetype of activities we engage in.
When I am complicated in “flow” activities, I hop from my RSS reader, to my blog, to delicious, to a Skype gossip, to Tweetdeck, to an online newsflash site, etc.
But… when I be to create something (a treatise, design a course, create a podcast), I necessity a different approach. If I continue to utilize a flow approach, I will likely not apply the depth of conclusion needed to complete the project soberly.
Context is king. Approaches to learning and interacting are rooted in differing contexts.
Message Rich… and Attention Poor
Word rich, and attention poor addresses a frustration many of us feel: There is too much! it is all going too fast!
I favour with the author that concentration is the attribute in greatest popular today. But that misses an important point: Oversupply is not simply more, it is also different. Which means (and the designer addresses this slightly at the end of the article) we need to think about what changes in this world of “much more“.
- What changes in how we access info?
- How we process it?
- What types of tools do we lack to cope? (i.e. visualization tools and methods).
- Where is our education system falling short?
In my own, obviously non-opinionated view, education as a system has an opportunity to take a different view of how scholastic experiences are designed and delivered.
Open online courses – such as CCK09 – serve as a transparent experiment.
- How effective is sensemaking in social networks in relation to traditional course cohorts?
- What place should the educator play?
- And what responsibility should students play?
Liberating Data From Google
I am frequently negative on Google (at bottom because in a hardly year’s time, Google will likely have a similar lock-in in many of its services / markets to what Microsoft had at its extreme). However, the DataLiberation initiative past Google is a massive step in the promising direction:
At the focus of this lies our wilful commitment to an open web run on open standards.
We think open is better than closed – not because closed is inherently lousy, but because when it is easy as users to leave your product, there is a sense of insistence to improve and innovate in order to mind your users.
When your users are locked in, there is a acrid temptation to be complacent and focus less on making your product better.
