Re: The next ten years of Instapaper

Thanks Brian and Rodion for creating an awesome product. It seems like a simple proposition on the surface (save some text from HTML, show it in an app). But the reality for me is that the frictionless operation of the app (and saving workflow) lead me to read a lot more interesting stuff over the the years, which would've otherwise been lost in a hundred tabs just waiting for the next browser crash to disappear :)

Re: Ben Nolan - Radar: Remaking Dopplr in an afternoon

chillu — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:10:05 -0000

Wow, in an afternoon. Freaking legend. Never really used Dopplr, but now I wish that I did! I think using Twitter for friends lists is great, since it encourages meeting folks in your "wider circle of interest", as opposed to close friends you'd invite to such a service. For example, having a coffee with a dev you only know through github because you happen to travel to the same city at the same time. Some Dopplr features strike me as a bit wanky, like showing off your "personal travel report". Although I love the "your carbon footprint measured in Hummers" idea :D http://blog.dopplr.com/2009...

Re: Ben Nolan - The Possibility of a Van

Why stop with a van? Do this! ;) http://www.upworthy.com/sic...

Seriously though, I'm already getting excited by the prospect of cruising around with you guys in the van of awesome.

Re: Ben Nolan - Be careful cycling

Had a near-miss on the bike as well yesterday, and vowed to take it slower. City biking sucks like that, hard to even break a sweat with all those damn traffic lights, and delivery vans parking on the bike paths. Ah well, still better infrastructure then Petone->Wellington pathway ;)

That's outdated info (I've just updated the docs). We've readded it through SSViewer_BasicIteratorSupport.

Can't wait - how about some Wolfenstein 3D characters? ;)

Getting better each day, man this looks very promising :) When you destroy the "dirt block" around 0:55 the shadows on the remaining block are a bit weird - is the block underneath on an angle, or is that a bug?

Re: Ben Nolan - Twitterplaces

chillu — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 20:21:15 -0000

"Tweets by neighbourhoods" on user profile is pretty damn cool :) You've showed some heatmaps (or whatever they're called) a while ago, is that still in the feature plan?

I think "recent tweets" streams are borderline irrelevant in bigger areas, unless you can filter down futher (by tags?) - there's just too many tweets - e.g. what informational value would you see people getting out of "Recent Tweets in San Francisco"?

On the other hand, for suburbs ("Wellington CBD" or even "Courtenay Place") this could be really cool. I see it as kinda ambient information that you'd have sitting in a sidebar on your desktop, rather than a website that I go to every couple of days. I guess making twitterplaces mobile friendly goes a long way to using it in "sidebar mode" already (with some form of auto refresh).

I'd encourage users more to check out their own username in a spatial view (if they're in a city that gets imported).

I typically don't care about the tweets around me (I already follow people directly who tend to be around me). Thats of course, unless there's a specific event that hasn't reached the news yet: For example, the waterpipe breaking on Manners Mall a couple of days ago.

(migrating some "ideas" from the wiki page to the comments, better place to keep them):
* SQL: We could extend the data model so that you didn't need to manually write SQL queries; however, this might be more trouble than its worth.
* SQL: Check any queries against the current MySQL database schema to ensure that we're not trying to insert the wrong data-type, for example, a string into an INT field.

Hello John, good comment, but in the wrong place - nobody will read it on the startpage of our documentation (which shouldn't have a comment feature actually). I'd suggest posting your thoughts to the dev mailinglist: http://groups.google.com/gr...

I've removed some comments from the wiki content, as we now have a commenting system :)

For thought: We should code in a way that we can enable php warnings without having ugly isset()s everywhere, which is mostly just initialising variables.

Shiny (Brenda)

i advocate those pear standards because:

1.
opensource devs already have these stored in memory
2.
there’s handy utilities that take php as input and tell you if they comply
3.
lotsa thought went into pear already, so why re-invent?
4.
libraries you might want for plugins will already follow these

Bryan, please use silverstripe.org/forums - this is not the right place to ask support questions. Looking forward to your input, we've generally got a pretty vibrant, friendly and active community on the forums :)

Thanks Manko10, should be fixed now.

@GrandSapin1673: We're redeveloping clientside validation to use the jQuery.validate plugin instead of the custom Validator.js, which will stabilize/simplify things, and has the added benefit of easier localization. Pending for 2.3, which is still a couple of months away.

good question - matt, do you want to have a stab at revising it? (basically generating the <ul> list in a template instead of a controller)

Re: modules:gis | Documentation Wiki

chillu — Thu, 15 May 2008 06:56:29 -0000

yes it does - at the moment we're only integrating the "Point" data type (and spatial indexes for it). i'm checking out MultiPolygon and MultiLine next week

Re: genericdataadmin | Documentation Wiki

chillu — Tue, 13 May 2008 07:47:09 -0000

hey zyko, we actually have something even cooler in the pipeline that will replace GenericDataAdmin ;)
have a look at http://open.silverstripe.co...

in its most basic form, you just need to specifiy which DataObjects you want to manage, everything else is scaffolded from sensible (and configurable) defaults. scheduled release is 2.3
