"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face in marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt
Okay I can really see myself replacing IE with Firebird for all my day-to-day browsing needs. It's just a superior browser. However what I can't live with is editing posts in a poxy textarea with
and friends. It just aint gonna happen. None of my searches for a solution yielded any results. Does anyone know what is the state of play for WYSIWYG editing in Firebird?
We've run into a problem implementing the MovableType client for k-collector:
Our approach has been to bootstrap development by reusing a lot of the Radio client code (moved onto the k-collector server) and having the MT client call that as far as possible. We made some good progress this way however we've hit a snag. When the server side code needs to send information back to MovableType we hit the 'ol Javascript same origin policy problem.
What we need is a way for the pages serverd by MovableType to allow the pages from k-collector access to some of their properties but without having to use signed pages (which appears to be a minefield). Since the one should be allowed to trust the other I am hoping there is a way. Is there?
I didn't get LinkedIn until today (can anyone tell me how to find the URL for my profile?) I was already a member of Ecademy (which I don't use much) and Ryze so why join another of these things? I basically joined because Marc Canter sent me an invite, looked around for a bit (it looked intimidatingly confusing) and then left. I don't think i've been back since.
Today I had a reason to go back and the experience has made me see LinkedIn in a new light. I've been trying to make contact with someone without much success. I was speaking to Ross about it and he suggested he could help, could I send a message via LinkedIn?
I found the person I wanted to make contact with, who is connected through Ross. I created a message and when I submitted it, I was shown the path from me, via Ross (intermediate steps hidden) to the target. I added a note for Ross and sent it off. He then has the opportunity to approve or reject it & add his own comments before passing it on.
Actually using this process I see a value that wasn't apparent to me when I simply thought about it after first joining. I shall definitely be looking into LinkedIn a bit more closely.
My thanks to Ross for pulling me in & holding my head under the water!
