Introducing Aunt Tillie to RSS

Introducing Aunt Tillie to RSS 04/09/2004 03:56 PM

This morning a story on RSS newsreaders appeared in the Personal Tech section of my local paper. The title was A simple program to 'refresh' the news; the byline was The Washington Post. I'm keenly interested in how the story of RSS is being told to Aunt Tillie, so I deconstructed this one with some care. ...

Aunt Tillie's OS X adventure


Aunt Tillie's OS X adventure 03/06/2004 01:57 AM
In a pair of recent essays< /a>, Eric Raymond tears into the open source community -- rightly so -- for its failure to deliver software that Aunt Tillie can use. He's spot on. One of his comments got me wondering, though:
If the designers were half-smart about UI issues (like, say, Windows programmers) they'd probe the local network neighborhood and omit the impossible entries. If they were really smart (like, say, Mac programmers) they'd leave the impossible choices in but gray them out, signifying that if your system were configured a bit differently you really could print on a Windows machine, assuming you were unfortunate enough to own one. [Eric Raymond: An Open-Source Horror Story]
As it happens, I'd never tried printing to a Windows XP queue on my home network from my Mac, and I wondered how well those Mac programmers Eric talks about handled that case. So here, for your Flash viewing pleasure, is Aunt Tillie's OS X Adventure. ...

Introducing UseModWiki 04/04/2005 10:55 AM
Wiki software implements the simple idea that Web pages should be easy, even trivial, to create, and that anyone reading the page should be able to correct, improve, revise and add to the page. Wikis (the word means "quick" in Hawaiian) have become popular on the World Wide Web. With simple formatting rules to make it easy to build well-organized hyperlinked pages, a wiki becomes an efficient means of creating a Web site. One worthwhile wiki for business collaboration is Clifford Adam's UseModWiki.

Introducing the Canvas


Introducing the Canvas 07/05/2004 02:29 PM

Another extension we made to HTML is a new element called the canvas. This element is essentially an image element that supports programmatic drawing. The way it works is that you can invoke a method called getContext on the canvas and then you have access to a whole range of 2d drawing calls. This element is how the hands of the Dashboard clock are drawn in HTML. The canvas fully participates in CSS styling too, so you can give it borders or background images while still painting the foreground content programmatically.

In addition to the canvas element, we've also introduced a new attribute onto the img element. The composite attribute allows you to control how an image gets composited. The default is source-over, which is how images are normally composited on the Web, but now we've introduced other values for more complex compositing operations. Especially in the Dashboard with its transparent windows, these other compositing operations become useful, since you can use this feature to "punch holes" to the desktop, allowing for all sorts of wild irregular shapes.
