ClickToFlash

This little gem has made my life happy again, in a lot of places.

Essentially it frames all places where Flash would be and won’t load it unless you specifically click on it.

The neat thing is that it is for WebKit, so almost all of the WebKit applications I use – OmniWeb, NetNewsWire, and Safari all get the same feature.

Now I know where my CPU is going if I want to see the videos (and not the ads).

I am amazed at how much gunk there is out there on some of the web pages that I visit.

PowerPoint Makes Us Stupid

“PowerPoint makes us stupid,” Gen. James N. Mattis of the Marine Corps, the Joint Forces commander, said this month at a military conference in North Carolina. (He spoke without PowerPoint.) Brig. Gen. H. R. McMaster, who banned PowerPoint presentations when he led the successful effort to secure the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar in 2005, followed up at the same conference by likening PowerPoint to an internal threat.

Whitespace

4/19/2010 in Fun by face | No comments

Most modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren’t there. We consider this to be a gross injustice to these perfectly friendly members of the character set. Should they be ignored, just because they are invisible? Whitespace is a language that seeks to redress the balance. Any non whitespace characters are ignored; only spaces, tabs and newlines are considered syntax.
