Tags do work (for me, at least)
2009-01-18 00:29:34
For the “too long; didn’t read” crowd: I’ve been using a lot of tags on Delicious over a relatively long time, so they seem very useful to me. Delicious encourages the use of tags through UI convention and tool usage patterns, whereas Flickr presents no particular bias toward collecting tags from users. Since title and description attract more [...]

Enter the LizardFeeder
2009-01-05 18:01:54
Behind Firefox is Mozilla, and behind Mozilla is a community. And the Mozilla community acts a lot like an ecosystem, which can be visualized as a kind of living tree—not to confused with the mozilla-central tree. Oh yeah, and Mozilla is the name of both a Foundation and a Corporation. Confused yet? If [...]


Resolutions
2009-01-05 13:10:22
So, after all that, I suppose the thing to do for a new year is to figure out what’s next, maybe compose some disposable resolutions for the coming months. Well, here are some off the top of my head: Spend time with my lovely wife. Eat less, move more. Write more. Be a valuable contributor at Mozilla. Make a few [...]

Three Years in Review
2009-01-05 13:09:22
It’s been a busy 3 years or so. Yes, this promises to be one of those posts I seem to keep writing. It’s not quite LiveJournal material, but it’ll be completely devoid of code or any notable geekery—so feel free to move along. In late 2005 to early 2006, after a busy and stressful [...]

The Concise Guide to Dojo is a real book!
2008-12-19 21:35:16
This year has been a doozy. A full account of it would fill a book, so it’s telling that I’ve neglected to raise much of a fuss about the fact that I actually have been working on a new book. Not only that, but part of that book has been spun off into [...]

An unnecessary Template Attribute Language
2008-11-01 15:23:23
A funny thing happened on the way to building a delayed real-time feed display: I got temporarily obsessed with implementing a template language in JavaScript that, as it turned out later, I didn’t need. About the feed project itself, I hope to write more soon—but for now I want to get this extra [...]

Jelly Stains and Web Masons
2008-10-29 10:42:23
From Mark Bernstein’s entry on Practical Prototype and script.aculo.us: When chemists consult a volume about professional chemical technique, or when surgeons reach for the latest update on neuroanatomy, they can usually find a book that isn’t couched in terms of silly examples and jokes. So can poets, mathematicians, and geologists. For some reason, though, [...]

Upgrades versus Antiques
2008-10-19 12:07:19
From Greenmonk: The Blog - Cherish The AIR? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should: …the core idea that should be upheld by companies like Apple should be about making things better and less often. Making things that will be able to evolve, be upgraded, be adaptable, hackable and more fun to use [...]

Improving my Delicious command for Ubiquity
2008-09-07 01:20:20
After writing up my first stab at a Delicious command for Ubiquity, I planned to continue revising it based on feedback and to work on exploring more of what Ubiquity enables. I started looking into writing my own nouns for tag suggestions, as well as playing with page load and browser startup hooks. [...]


The more things change…
2008-09-02 00:46:46
So, in anticipation of hopefully carving out time to write more article-length entries like my last one on Ubiquity, I’ve revamped the design on this blog and updated the colophon. I’m also hoping to post more short entries as well, and get this place revived again in general. Let me know what you [...]

Writing a Delicious command for Ubiquity
2008-09-01 00:37:03
In my last post, I got all fluffy about how cool Ubiquity is but didn’t share any code to prove the point. As it happens, I have come up with at least one useful command that I’m starting to use habitually in posting bookmarks to Delicious . You can subscribe to my command or [...]


Moz08: Rockslides and Blackouts and Bears - Oh My!
2008-08-04 16:15:23
Since the beginning, I’ve been a Mozilla fanboy. But, up until very recently, I’ve only shown that as a user and a verbal supporter, with a shallow understanding or participation in what’s really done in the Mozilla community. Sure, I’ve checked out source code from time to time going back to the first [...]

Delicious 2.0 is more than a pretty new face
2008-08-04 13:21:55
I’m no longer at Yahoo! and I no longer work on Delicious , but I’m still a huge supporter. And, since I’m pretty sure everyone over there is either burnt out or still insanely busy at the moment, it might be awhile before anyone tells the full story of what this relaunch offers. As [...]


delicious 2.0 legacy bookmarklet fix
2008-08-02 18:34:28
As you’ve probably seen by now, Delicious 2.0 has launched. It’s an all new design and the whole thing has been rewritten from the ground up. Most of the gripes I’ve seem like general dislike of change—which actually attests to the gargantuan effort put forth to reimplement the original from scratch in a [...]
