search results for javascript
I'm a pretty heavy feedreader, with about 164 subscriptions. Over the last 30 days, I've read 8,032 items, starred 9 items, shared 20 items, and emailed 2 items. Of course... I really enjoy a good number of things that I read - and I want to share these items with everyone.
Then there's the question about content-theft. Some bloggers like to take RSS feeds and republish them on their own site, earning revenue from the content, and there's a huge backlash from the original authors.
What I'd like to do is publish my shared items feed here on my blog, without changing anything in the original article. I'll have to play around with tagging and the like, and I'll have to decide on what plugin to use exactly. However, will I get any backlash from the authors? Is this appropriate?
(There's supposed to be a list of shared items here... but apparently it isn't working.)
Now, keep in mind that each of them would most likely get their own post, with all of the original links intact. I'd be pulling the RSS feed from my Google Reader account (if I could link to my profile, that'd be great - then people could even "Add Eric as a Friend" and subscribe to my shared items. Alas - Google doesn't make it that easy), and letting people read and see it here.
What do you think? Blog authors who I frequently share from, I'd really appreciate your opinion, or even suggestions on alternatives. Google Trends says my most shared items are from Lifehacker (a getting things done blog) - so YOUR comments would be especially helpful. ;) Let me know!

Something that wish would have caught on as Node did is RingoJS (
http://ringojs.org/), a CommonJS runtime that uses Rhino/JS and runs on the JVM.
Ringo IMHO could have sparked a Java renaissance and taken advantage of the maturity of the Java platform where they running joke is for any giving feature, you have at least 5 different libraries that can do it. That would solve what is a real problem in Node: the fact that libraries are sparse and either require coding yourself or finding a C library and writing a JS meta layer.
A RingoJS app doesn't need a special runtime environment or a hosting provider to enable it, if you can run Java, including Google App Engine. But alas, it wasn't to be, the same individuals who have no business touching a server yet are coding Node because it's
just JavaScript. They were the same ones who decried Java as a big slow mass because they couldn't understand the mechanics of not blocking the event handling thread.
The Rubyists eventually got over their hatred of Java, when will the JavaScripters?

Here's a fun little bookmarklet that I use from time to time. It selects every available element on a webpage and changes it to a random color at an interval.
Click it to see a sample, or click and drag it to your bookmarks bar for use on other sites.

Scratch and AppInventor are awesome and are truly the new Logo - When appinventor was hosted by Google, I taught a few intro sessions to managers at our (ostensibly) IT shop and local meetup groups to great success. Lots of opened eyes. The efforts that Treehouse and CodeAcademy are doing with javascript are also immediate and useful.

+James Williams The end of the article draws a line between node.js issues and php. It's the same kind of talk i hear about php: "this is a cancer, we must purge it, it has issues therefore its the worst thing ever and don't ever use it because you will code yourself into hades".
Most coders own a few cars. Javascript is my motorcycle, php is my compact car, and c# is my pickup truck. If I was less lazy I'd have more cars, but I do well with the ones I've got. If I could take the motorcycle onto the highway (server side) and get away with it, I'm sure I would.

If you notice, I currently display my Foursquare badges over in the right hand side. I'm not sure about how long I'll display them specifically, so here's a screenshot:
I recently received an email inquiring about how I accomplished this. Well, since I use Chyrp, here's how I did it:
- In includes/controller/Main.php, add the following, somewhere around line 715 (immediately after $this->context["sql_queries"] =& SQL::current()->queries;):
// BEGIN Foursquare Badges
$cURL = curl_init();
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_URL, "http://api.foursquare.com/v1/user.json?badges=1");
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

- In themes/your_theme_name/content/sidebar.twig, wherever you want to display your foursquare tags, simply add:
<div>
<h1>Foursquare Badges</h1>
$foursquare_badges
</div></code>
You can display this wherever you like, in any part of your Chyrp template.
Be aware that this requires PHP's CURL module. I encourage you to enable Chyrp's caching module as well, so every page load does not incur a single API request (I have a feeling that they probably won't appreciate it). The benefit of this is that your Foursquare badges will now be output by your server, so they are both indexable by search engines and degrade very gracefully when the client doesn't have Javascript enabled (NoScript users, particularly).
Enjoy!

In the spirit of PARTYMODE, here's a Harlem Shake bookmarklet.
HARLEM SHAKE!
Just like before, click it to see what it does, and click and drag it to your bookmarks bar to use it on other sites.

Following suit with the likes of Tim Bray and Eric Meyer, I figured I'd throw together my browser's letter sweep tonight.
- [A]dmin Site. Yeah, I guess I would be visiting the admin panel for this. Quite frequently.
- Mirascape's [B]log. An infrequent haunt of mine, but fairly obvious.
- [C]MON. Cluster Monitor for MySQL Cluster, something I almost always have open.
- Google [D]ocs. This one is painfully obvious, I use Google Docs extensively.
- [E]ricMartindale.com. Okay, that's a gimme. Does this make me egocentric?
- [F]acebook. I'm actually fairly ashamed of this one. Why can't I have a cool F site? sadface
- [G]mail. Three accounts linked using Google's Multiple Sign-in. Open [almost] all day.
- [H]ighcharts JS. A pretty kick-ass Javascript library for generating charts on the clientside.
- [I]nternal Discussion. A site for communication with my team. :)
- [J]Query Mobile Demo, 1.0 alpha 3. I've been spending a lot of time toying with jQuery Mobile, seeing where it's going compared to Sencha Touch.
- [K]r.github.com. Keith Rarick's GitHub redirect. Total ass-kicker.
- [L]inkedIn. Pretty straightforward, between hiring for our team at @Mirascape and the travel to and from various conferences and Meetups lately.
- [M]irascape. The augmented reality platform I'm responsible for.
- [N]oxBot. A nice PHP-powered IRC bot with various plugins. A bit out of date, but very powerful. Been using it for a couple things lately.
- [O]K, QR Me!. A QR Code-generating link shortener I built.
- [P]ostmark. Best Email delivery service I've used. Nice RESTful API, flat rate for emails sent.
- [Q]uora. These guys nail Q&A, and they're doing it pretty well. Check out all their buzz, too. But for some reason, I just don't stick.
- Google [R]eader. “From your 1,040 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 21,549 items, clicked 274 items, starred 853 items, shared 37 items, and emailed 8 items.” -- </stats>
- [S]erver Stats for Mirascape. Powered by Munin, it's how I keep track of the status and metrics of all my servers.
- [T]witter. Not surprising. I love their webapp for my personal use, but own and manage at least five accounts using SplitTweet.
- [U]serVoice. Pretty sweet tool I use for giving the communities I manage a good way to build a consensus on what they desire most. Examples I run: for RolePlayGateway, and EVE UserVoice for EVE Online.
- Google [V]oice. Allows me to use SMS from my computer, read (as opposed to listen to) voicemail. Great tool. If only it supported MMS.
- [W]achovia. One of the places I do banking.
- [X]DA Developers. An indisposable resource for getting rid of carrier-installed crap and running my own choice of software on the hardware I purchased!
- [Y]ouTube. Another big namer. No surprise.
- [Z]ecco. Where I trade most of my public stocks. :)
Surprisingly populist, and there's a lot of Google-owned properties in there. I'm also using Chromium, so I think it prefers the roots of the sites I visit instead of searching through my history for individual pages.
