Dimensionizer







Dimensionizer

Dimensionizer 04/09/2004 04:08 PM

Dimensionizer is a nifty little Finder plugin which displays the dimensions of an image. It’s a contextual menu plugin so it appears when you control-click (or right-click) an image. And that’s about it really. Very useful for web designers looking to quickly retrieve an image’s size without having to open up Photoshop or Fireworks. { via hivelogic }

EXIF Plugin for MT


EXIF Plugin for MT 04/21/2004 11:48 PM

MT Plugin Directory: ImageInfo: Movable Type plugins just keep getting better and better. Camera geeks rejoice (and by "camera geeks," I mean "Rob").

Display image EXIF data along with image on weblog page. Especially useful with digital camera pictures, which often store a lot of EXIF data (time stamp, f/stop, shutter speed, ISO setting, white balance, etc.) inside each picture.

If you have no idea what EXIF is, here's a site for you.

EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. Most digital cameras now use the EXIF format.

Firesomething : Look, I know this is a stupid extension, but it just cracks me up. I have four browser windows open right now: Mozilla Weblizard, Superphoenix, Powerlemur, and Spaceoyster. It's tough to find a laugh like that at 7:31 a.m.

[This plugin] modifies the product name in the browser titlebar, Help menu, and About dialog titlebar....Generates random names using multiple name lists...Allows you to quickly modify the image in the About dialog.

Check our this preferences screenshot. I admire the enourmous amount of work that went into the creation of utter uselessness.

Here let me generate a new name really quick...Mozilla Webnarwhal! Ha! That my friends, is true humor.

AutoLink Again


AutoLink Again 03/14/2005 05:56 PM
After a day of severe blogospheric battering, I went and spent some quality time with the Google Toolbar beta. Summary: I went over the top, was too nasty, and shouldn’t have fulminated about legal action, and I’m sorry. But, I still believe this feature as positioned now is either evil or stupid or both. But, it could be fixed. But, it doesn’t matter that much because AutoLink is actually kind of useless and anyhow, the Google Toolbar is doomed...

Google Toolbar AutoLink


Google Toolbar AutoLink 03/14/2005 04:24 PM

I'm a bit wary about throwing myself in the middle of the whole Google Toolbar AutoLink business (Dan Gillmor has a good summary and lots of trackbacks to opinions, pro and con), but I'm sort of dumbfounded that so many people are so vehemently against it...at least for the reasons being given. The three main points I've heard articulated by those opposed to the feature are:

1. Browsers and toolbars should not modify the content or layout of Web pages...they should render them only as stored on the Web server.

2. Microsoft tried to do this with Smart Tags in Windows XP and everyone hated it so why are we willing to give Google a pass with a similar feature?

3. Google can unfairly use their growing clout to exploit AutoLink users.

I'll address the second point first because it's sort of beside the point and not an argument at all. One of the big reasons why people were so upset about Smart Tags is that Smart Tags were on by default in early preview releases of IE. The browser was automatically rewriting every single page you loaded, adding links here and there. I agree that this sucks (although users may become used to things like this in the future and not think it's such a big deal), but AutoLink is not on by default. It's optional...you have to specifically push a button to make something happen.

But the main reason people seem to be up in arms about AutoLink is that Google is modifying the content and display of other people's content and that browsers and toolbars should not be allowed to do that. Aside from the first part of that statement being factually incorrect (more on that below), browsers and toolbars already modify other people's content and no one really complains about it. In fact, people love it:

  • Firefox, Safari, Google Toolbar, IE, and several other browsers/toolbars all give end users the option to block JavaScript popups, which typically contain ads. This very much goes against the intention of the content provider and is a clear example of software that modifies a site from how it was intended to be displayed. But users love it so browser/toolbar makers include the feature.
  • Browsers allow users to use custom stylesheets when browsing sites, turn off JavaScript on pages, and browse without viewing images or other multimedia files.
  • There are tons of bookmarklets and browser extensions that let people modify the page they're viewing in interesting ways (this one inserts links to Feedster on NY Times and WaPo article pages).
  • Since the early days of the web right on up to the present, browsers have purposely misrendered badly written HTML so that people could view the pages instead of getting junk or a blank page.

All of these features break the supposedly cardinal sin of "thou shalt not modify the content providers content from the way it was intended by them to be viewed" and I don't hear anyone complaining about it. The fact is, once a user downloads a copy of a content provider's web page from their server, the page becomes just that, a copy. As a user, I should be able to use whatever software is available to me to manipulate, modify, or otherwise remix that copy which I've downloaded for my own personal use. If I can, for my own personal use, photocopy magazine articles, rip my CDs to mp3, make backup copies of my DVDs, and scribble in the margins of books, surely I can do the same with copies of web pages I've downloaded.

Now, if you're against AutoLink because you think Google is becoming too big, they're evil, they're abusing their power, or they bought another blog company instead of yours, then that's fine. Just be up front about why you're upset. It's a trust issue. Do you trust Google's software to do what it says its going to do and not take advantage of you? If the answer is no, don't use it. But if you're saying that Google should not provide this feature at all and that consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes can't choose to use the feature themselves, I don't think that's a good deal for the users. As content providers, let's not try and reach into our readers' computers and dictate what they can or can't do with the copies of our content that they've downloaded for their personal use...let's leave that sort of wishful thinking to the nutballs in Hollywood.


Autolink URLs in MT Entries


Autolink URLs in MT Entries 08/16/2004 05:58 PM

One of the things I really hate about reading newspaper Web sites is they often include URLs but don’t link them. So you have to copy and paste to open them (or just rightclick with the right Firefox extension).

I don’t want my site to look like a big, dumb newspaper. So I wrote a filter using Brad’ ;s regex plugin to autolink URLs in entries. It hasn’t been extensively tested but it has worked for a the half-dozen or so entries in the Project X blog.

Install the regex plugin and then add this to the top of your templates…

<MTAddRegex name="autolink">s![> ](http://[^<" ]+)!<a href="$1">$1</a> !g</MTAddRegex>

Then add the attribute regex="autolink" to your MTEntryBody and MTEntry more tags in your templates: <MTEntryBody regex="autolink">.

Google autolink debate frenzy


Google autolink debate frenzy 03/14/2005 05:45 PM
I'm too mired in book work to offer much besides pointers, but here are pointers galore on the important controversy over the Google toolbar Autolink feature -- in which Google offers to overlay its own links to certain types of information that it finds on everyone else's Web pages. In 2001 Microsoft proposed putting something similar right into its Internet Explorer browser, and Walt Mossberg and many others blew the whistle on it. Links should be considered part of the vocabulary of Web content; inserting links is tantamount to tampering with the content.

This time it's been Dave Winer who's been blowing the whistle insistently. Here's Dave's case against Autolink. The opposite point of view -- it's a tool, I should be able to use any tools I want once content lands on my screen! -- is smartly summarized by Cory Doctorow here and here. Paul Boutin in Slate, and Tim Bray, also offer good, careful perspectives.

Me, I think the issue is fundamentally political more than technical; Google is now powerful enough that it needs to learn to tread more lightly in areas like this. My hunch is the Google-ites, encapsulated in their "let's bring all the world's information to light!" mission, simply had no idea what an ethical morass they have plopped themselves into. If the past is any indication, they're nimble enough to step out.

I can't believe I'm joining this discussion, but everywhere I read about Google's AutoLink, I never see the essential detail that Google did right: links are only added after the user pressed the AutoLink button. It's not a toggle button, you have to press the button every time you visit a new page for the links to show up. ?
