Remote control Millennium Falcon.

I really want to mount a balloon popping laser with some sort of remote control inside of this thing and then ~~go to the park and wreck some small child’s afternoon.~~ pop some balloons.

p-danielle: Oh man. People asking ME for computer IT advice?...

Oh man. People asking ME for computer IT advice? Here goes:

If you have one of those appley computers, all hi-tech and fancy, there’s a way to screen capture. Not really sure since I’m not cool enough to own one.

But I do own an iPhone, which is how I do. If you hold the power button and press the home button quickly, it’ll screen capture on the phone and send it to your photos. Then I recommend getting the free Photoshop app so you can crop it down to size, then the free tumblr app to upload!

And if you are also like me, and don’t charge you phone often, and have a desktop PC, there’s a button on the keyboard called print screen. You use that to screen capture and put into whatever photo editing software you have. I’ve been known to use word in a pinch. I am not ashamed.

Hope this helps!

on the appley thing it is: apple+shift+4 (bonus: pressing space bar after the combo allows for individual window shooting) (double bonus: apple+shift+3 puts an entire screen shot picture on your desktop.

opening a new bag of potato chips only to discover it is already half empty

Since Tumblr won't let me reblog your question...I'm just wondering what you think about the idea. I originally wanted to improve CSS syntax. For example, no more body{background-color: #fff}. You'd say 'body background white'.

It has now evolved into a web editor on the cloud, which automatically complies your text into css and shows the results instantly in a adjacent window.

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:22:04 -0500

ohhh… well that sounds like a great idea.

have you looked at the html5 standards?

if I am understanding this idea correctly you will be able to input natural language and it will out put the necessary css to make what you want happen?

what are you plans for handling semantics? as in if someone says backcolor opposed to background… to us it seems crazy to refer to it as anything other than a background but none the less. which leads me to my next question, have you considered if it will support only english or multiple languages? Google has a nice API for translations.

Also, who is your target market for this product?

I tried email support@blogofastudent.com, but my msg got rejected. I just wanted to get your opinion on a HTML/CSS natural language compiler. You can read more about it here: http://senthilnambi.tumblr.com/post/390566886/html-css-natural-language-compiler

I'd really appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks.

yeah i let the domain lapse for like a day and the google apps stuff got screwed up… I don’t wanna talk about it. but anyways… while I am flattered that you seek my opinion I’m not sure I fully understand the question. Could you elaborate more on what type of feedback you are looking for?

brit:

Finally, Heinz reinvents the ketchup packet! Now you can dip - OR - squeeze. And it holds 3x the ketchup - so less handfuls of ketchup packets.

Genius.

“Heinz, which sells more than 11 million ketchup packets a year, will continue to sell its traditional foil packets as well, ABC News reported. The new packaging is getting a road test in the Midwest and Southwest this summer and is expected to be available in fast-food restaurants this fall.

In addition to updating the ketchup packet, Heinz is reducing the sodium content of its core line of ketchup products by 15 percent. It’s also launching Simply Heinz Tomato Ketchup, which uses sugar in place of high-fructose corn sweetener.”

- Slashfood

I saw this on the news yesterday… heres my issue: If you open the “traditional foil packets” along the long side it is just as easy to dip items… so besides holding 3x more ketchup how is this more useful?
