Firediff - In Case of Stairs
"Firediff is a Firebug extension that tracks changes to a pages DOM and CSS." Firebug 1.4 bleeding edge, but very cool indeed!
Spreadtweet
Nice work Elliott..... very funny indeed :)
Bespin 0.2 version control system integration
"Bespin 0.2 adds support for access to remote version control system repositories. In this video, I show how the basic commands work. At the same time, I demonstrate using a method for working with the Bespin source code that allows you to push your changes up to a publicly accessible repository."
Deskzilla
It may look a bit like a 1990's desktop app, but there is some cool functionality to make Bugzilla more usable.
GitHub Issue Tracker! - GitHub
The hub now has an issue tracker, and it looks nice and simple. Best part: your commit message can close issues!
Firefox 3.5 for developers - MDC
"Firefox 3.5 introduces a number of new features, as well as additional and improved support for a wide variety of web standards. This article offers an extensive list, with links to articles covering the major improvements."
The JCP doesn't exist!
"Does the JCP really exist?
This sounds like a daft question!
But if you've been reading carefully you will have noticed that it really isn't.
Firstly, the PMO is named very carefully - its a "program" management office. Thats because the PMO is managing a program, not an organisation. The program is the JCP program of Sun.
Secondly, consider the name 'Java Community Process'. The clue is in the word "process". The JCP is just a process for defining standards. The JCP is not an organisation in its own right - it's a group within Sun.
Thirdly, consider the legal situation. All legal agreements (the JSPA) are signed between the member and Sun. There are no legal agreements between the member and the JCP, because the JCP is not a real organisation."
JSON Schema, part 2
Aaron is happy with JSON Schema so far: "I'm really happy with how this came out because it means that all our APIs will get great error messages for free; it's not something that we'll have to think about (and therefore get wrong) on a case-by-case basis."
Interactive CouchDB
"Interactive CouchDB is an emulator written in 100% JavaScript with tons of jQuery thrown in. It also implements the collation schemes as well as the map/reduce algorithms. While it doesn’t demonstrate replication, conflict management and a host of other capabilities in CouchDB, it does strive to illustrate concepts like schema-less JSON documents, map/reduce and how these things fit together."
Couches in Browsers at Toolness
"I decided to spend some time prototyping a JavaScript implementation of CouchDB, which I’ve dubbed BrowserCouch. It’s intended to work across all browsers, gracefully upgrading its functionality when support for features like Web Workers and DOM Storage are detected."
