It seems as though my blog has become the target of spam. Almost daily now, I get a few comments that consist of nothing but spam. Someone should tell these spammers that no one reads this blog or visits it for that matter, so they’re just wasting their own time!
I made a small change to the IMapper library today. It should now play nicely with other JavaScript libraries.
The alteration will ensure that “$” is referencing jQuery, at least within the scope of the library. This symbol is used by a variety of JavaScript libraries, most notably Prototype.
Obviously, the ready() method used to initialize IMapper will be slightly different depending upon your setup. I would highly recommend reading up using jQuery with other libraries before you actually attempt too.
I haven’t extensively tested the update. If you are using IMapper (with jQuery) and another JavaScript library that uses the “$” symbol please let me know if there are any name conflicts or bugs.
A long time ago I wrote a GreaseMonkey script dubbed “FB_PIC” for Facebook. The script has one simple function: when you mouse over profile links, it’ll show the full-sized profile picture for that given user. Today I noticed Facebook altered their interface so I decided to make some updates to FB_PIC.
Please note that due to how the Facebook UI works, FB_PIC has trouble keeping up with page changes. I am still working on an efficient work around to coupe with Facebook’s very unique UI. In the mean time if you notice that FB_PIC isn’t working as exepected just refresh the page. This will re-bind all of the nessecary events to the apporiate elements.
For more details exactly what FB_PIC is and how to get it, head on over the FB_PIC page and check it out.
Happy Thanksgiving to whomever may read this. Enjoy the holiday and of course, the turkey!
I promise within the next few days I will start to post more on my blog. I have just been so busy with term projects and my internship, it’s difficult to find a free moment. So stay tuned everyone…
Well after much delay I finally finished up my layout and theme. It is partially based on the Elegance theme designed by ‘PowerTheme’. So a lot of credit belongs to PowerTheme. By no means did I take any shortcuts though, my theme is designed from scratch, just some of the images and styles are from the Elegance theme.
All in all, I am extremely happy with how everything came out. I hope my readers (do I have any yet?) enjoy my blog and all my rants. Check back frequently because I do have a lot to say!
