Un reloj hecho con scroll (las cosas esas para navegar por las paginas o ventanas), en este reloj te va demostrando la hora… (eso Buffete!) pero lo “chida” es que en los numeros le puedes mover los scrolls, la verdad no tiene mucho de divertido, lo malo es que tampoco lo puedes bajar para ponerlo de salvapantallas o algo por el estilo. Este reloj fue creado por TOKI WOKI, que al parecer nomas parece ser un proyecto de ellos o algo para demostrar lo que pueden hacer.

[Scroll clock]

The default “view” in both Nautilus and Thunar file managers is the “Icon“ or thumbnail view, which you can of course change if ever you want via the View menu. If you’re happy with thumbnails, but they’re too big for your liking, or you actually want to make them larger, like in your ~/Pictures folder, hold the Ctrl button while you zoom in or out with your mouse scroll wheel.

In Nautilus (the default file manager in Ubuntu), you can make the thumbnails of pics rather huge, like only 2 fitting in each row, and the icons for any folders in there won’t be too large. On top of that, the change will only be recorded in the folder you’re in, so you can have most of your folders displaying thumbnails at the default size, have a few where the thumbnails are quite small, and then have huge thumbnails for folders like ~/Pictures.

In Thunar (Xubuntu’s default file manager), you can only go so big, and in your ~/Pictures folder the icons for any folders in there might actually look bigger than the thumbnails for pics; also, do that to one folder, and it is a global change (ie: it happens to the rest).

Due to the rather unique collection in our library and our location, we depend pretty heavily on electronic journals and ebooks. I am dealing with a lot of problems with pdf ebooks for research at the moment, and I also read a lot of fiction (Mobipocket and an old Palm T|X at the moment) in ebook format, and I’m struck at the differences.

We are at a transition period in how we consume information, and it appears that we have simply carried forward the information access issues that existed at the turn of the last millenium.

I’m talking, of course, about the scroll and the codex.

A scroll is a single long sheet with words printed from top to bottom. A codex is a book as we would recognize one. I’m dealing with both in interfaces optimized for the scroll.

PDF ebooks have been particularly difficult to deal with. To have the text at a readable level, you have to zoom in significantly. This puts the top and bottom of the page outside of the viewing window of most modern computer screens, especially with the standard 17 inch screens at most workplaces. AJAXy interfaces like Library Press Display make even less sense on small screens. This is because our standard screens work best with an internet-pages, which imitate a scroll.

The small screen on my palm T|X suffers from the same problem, however using the Mobipocket reader converts everything into a scroll.

The scroll is fine for end-to-end reading. It has it’s own built in bookmarking feature. However, it is useless for reference purposes.

The codex is great for reference purposes. It bookmarks well, but not as good as the scroll. It’s more portable and durable than a scroll.

Why are we forcing something so revolutionary and different, viz the electronic book, into these two formats? Using PDF files, which force a codex form on a scroll, or plain text/mobipocket/EPUB files which roll out like a scroll, but suffer from a serious lack of precision in layout and destroy the benefits of the codex.

So, what’s the solution? I’m just a librarian, not a software engineer. Stick with the format that fits. Scroll-type ebooks are great for novels.Forced-codex PDF files are good for making sure that the text and pictures look good when they’re printed out (and very little else). Paper books still have a pretty good advantage over both despite the weight  and size problems. We still don’t have a format for printed words out there that takes the advantage away from the evolutionary, revolutionary, incredible paper book.

Todo el mundo está de acuerdo en que la usabilidad y la navegabilidad son aspectos clave del diseño Web. Tanto en un sitio web corporativo, en una tienda on line o en una aplicación web, es fundamental hacer que las páginas sean agradables, fáciles y sencillas de usar para los visitantes. Se han realizado muchos estudios en los últimos años sobre diversos aspectos de la apariencia de las webs y el diseño de interfaces.  A continuación se describen 10 pautas  y consejos útiles, extraídas de este tipo de trabajos, que pueden ayudar a mejorar la experiencia del usuario en su sitio web.

1. La calidad en el diseño es un indicador de credibilidad

De diferentes estudios realizados para averiguar las claves en la percepción de la credibilidad sobre los sitios web, (enlaces a los estudios en nota al pie de esta entrada), se desprende un hallazgo interesante: los usuarios realmente juzgan el libro por su cubierta … o más bien, un sitio por su diseño web. Elementos como el diseño, la coherencia, la tipografía, el color y el estilo afectan la manera en la que los usuarios perciben su sitio web y qué tipo de imagen proyecta. Su sitio web no sólo debe proyectar una buena imagen, sino también la adecuada para su audiencia.

Otros factores que influyen en la credibilidad son: la calidad del contenido del sitio web, la cantidad de errores, la cantidad de actualizaciones, facilidad de uso y fiabilidad de los autores.

Fuente: http://feedafever.com/

No sabemos si la aplicación Fever es buena, pero la elegante interfaz para usuarios y el sitio web, dan una excelente primera impresión.

2. La mayoría de los usuarios no hacen scroll

Un estudio de Jakob Nielsen sobre la cantidad de usuarios que se desplazan verticalmente con el scroll (en Prioritizing Web Usability en el 2006) reveló que sólo el 23% de los visitantes se desplazan en la página en su primera visita. Esto significa que el 77% de los visitantes no hace scroll, sólo verán el contenido que aparece a primera vista (es decir, el área de la página que está visible en la pantalla sin tener que desplazarse hacia abajo). Es más, el porcentaje de usuarios que se desplazan verticalmente disminuye en visitas posteriores, con sólo el 16% de desplazamiento en su segunda visita. Este dato resalta la importancia de colocar el contenido clave en un lugar destacado, especialmente en las páginas de destino.

Esto no significa que debe meterse todo en el área superior de la página, sino que debe hacerse el mejor uso posible de esa zona. Saturándola con contenido sólo hará que el mismo sea inaccesible, cuando el usuario ve demasiada información, no sabe por dónde empezar a buscar.

Fuente: http://www.basecamphq.com/

Basecamp hace un gran uso del espacio. En la parte superior (768 píxeles de alto), muestra una pantalla grande, el rotulo, propuestas de valor (los beneficios que los usuarios obtendrán al usar el servicio anunciado por la página web), llamados a la acción, lista de clientes, videos y una breve lista con imágenes.

Esto es muy importante para la página de inicio, donde la mayoría de los visitantes nuevos llegarán. Así que establezca los básicos ahí:

1. Nombre de la página web

2. Propuesta de valor de la página web (es decir, los beneficios que los usuarios obtendrán por utilizarla)

3. Navegación hacia las principales secciones de la página web que son relevantes para el usuario.

Sin embargo, los hábitos de los usuarios han cambiado significativamente desde el momento del citado estudio (año 2006). Observaciones más recientes indican que los usuarios están más a gusto con el desplazamiento y en algunas ocasiones que están dispuestos a desplazarse hasta la parte inferior de la página (posiblemente debido a la influencia del formato blog). Muchos usuarios se sienten más cómodos con el desplazamiento que con una paginación (número determinado de páginas ordenadas consecutivamente).

3. Los usuarios se concentran en las caras

La gente instintivamente reconoce a otra persona cuando hacen contacto visual. En las páginas web, tendemos a concentrarnos en los rostros y ojos de las personas, lo que provee de una buena técnica a los mercadólogos para atraer la atención. Sin embargo, nuestra atracción por las caras y los ojos de las personas sólo es el comienzo, resulta que en realidad dirigimos la vista hacia donde la persona en la imagen está mirando.

Y ahora el bebé está mirando el contenido. Observe el aumento de las personas que observan el título y el texto.

A contuniación se presenta un estudio del seguimiento ocular que lo demuestra. Estamos instintivamente atraídos a los rostros, pero si ese rostro está mirando hacia un lugar distinto a nosotros, también miraremos en esa dirección. Saque provecho de este fenómeno llamando la atención de sus usuarios hacia las partes más importantes de su página o anuncio.

4. Los espacios en blanco mejoran la comprensión

La mayoría de los diseñadores saben el valor de los espacios en blanco, que son los espacios vacíos entre los párrafos, imágenes, botones y otros artículos en la página. El espacio en blanco secciona una página dando a los elementos espacio para respirar. También podemos agrupar los elementos, disminuyendo el espacio entre ellos y aumentando el espacio entre ellos y otros artículos en la página. Esto es importante para mostrar las relaciones entre los elementos y la creación de una jerarquía de elementos de la página.

Fuente: http://thenetsetter.com/blog/

Observe el contenido del margen, el relleno y el espacio entre párrafos en The Netsetter. Todo el espacio hace que el contenido sea fácil y cómodo para leer.

El espacio en blanco también hace que el contenido sea más legible. Un estudio (Lin, 2004) encontró que un buen uso de los espacios en blanco entre párrafos y en los márgenes de la izquierda y la derecha aumenta la comprensión en casi un 20%. Los lectores prestan más atención y procesan mejor los contenidos con amplios espacios entre si.

De hecho, según Chaperro, Shaikh y Baker, el diseño de una página Web (incluyendo espacios en blanco, los encabezados, la sangría y figuras) puede no influir en el rendimiento, pero influyen en la satisfacción del usuario y la experiencia.

5. Para destacar un producto, cree una buena página de descripción

Nadie compra en Internet sin ver antes una buena página de descripción del producto. Pero muchas páginas de productos, carecen de información suficiente, incluso para los visitantes que hacen una revisión rápida. Este es un problema grave, porque la información del producto ayuda a tomar decisiones de compra. La investigación muestra que la información pobre sobre los productos representa cerca del 8% de los problemas de utilidad e incluso el 10% del fracaso de usuario (es decir, el usuario se da por vencido y deja el sitio web) (Dar prioridad a la utilidad del Web).

Fuente:http://www.barrabes.com/barrabes/product.asppf_id=26198&idvariedad=102381&opt=d&dept_id=1919

Proporcione información detallada sobre sus productos, pero no caiga en la trampa de bombardear a los usuarios con demasiado texto. Haga que la información sea fácil de digerir. Haga la página sencilla visualmente dividiendo el texto en segmentos más pequeños y utilice sub-títulos. Añada suficientes imágenes de sus productos, y utilice un lenguaje correcto: no utilice un lenguaje que sus visitantes no podrían entender.

I made this from two different tutorials for a person on Experts Exchange. Just a very quick merging of the two into one.

Basically there was a tutorial with a horizontal scrolling gallery and one of a vertical version. The vertical version was a little more advanced with a tool-tip showing for each image in the gallery. Personally this is not the way I would code the tool-tip but meh it’s ok. The guy wanted a horizontal scrolling gallery with the tool-tips from the vertical scrolling gallery. Took me about an hour to recode all the scrolling functions and tool-tip placement functions.

Here is the script of anyone would like to use it. It is a little buggy (not my fault) but for anyone who knows a little of JQuery and wants something like this then here ya go:

James Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942^[1] – September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is often considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music by other musicians and commentators in the industry,^[2][3][4] and one of the most important and influential musicians of his era across a range of genres.^[5][6][7] After initial success in Europe, he achieved fame in the United States following his 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. Later, Hendrix headlined the iconic 1969 Woodstock Festival and the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. Hendrix often favored raw overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped develop the previously undesirable technique of guitar amplifier feedback.^[8] Hendrix was one of the musicians who popularized the wah-wah pedal in mainstream rock which he often used to deliver an exaggerated pitch in his solos, particularly with high bends and use of legato based around the pentatonic scale. He was influenced by blues artists such as B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Albert King, and Elmore James,^{[9][10][11][12]} rhythm and blues and soul guitarists Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, as well as by some modern jazz.^[13] In 1966, Hendrix, who played and recorded with Little Richard’s band from 1964 to 1965, was quoted as saying, “I want to do with my guitar what Little Richard does with his voice.”^[14]

Carlos Santana has suggested that Hendrix’s music may have been influenced by his partly Native American heritage.^[15] As a record producer, Hendrix also broke new ground in using the recording studio as an extension of his musical ideas. He was one of the first to experiment with stereophonic and phasing effects for rock recording.

Hendrix won many of the most prestigious rock music awards in his lifetime, and has been posthumously awarded many more, including being inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005. An English Heritage blue plaque was erected in his name on his former residence at Brook Street, London, in September 1997. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (at 6627 Hollywood Blvd.) was dedicated in 1994. In 2006, his debut US album, Are You Experienced, was inducted into the United States National Recording Registry, and Rolling Stone named Hendrix the top guitarist on its list of the 100 greatest guitarists of all-time in 2003.^[16] He was also the first person inducted into the Native American Music Hall of Fame.

It is divided into four chambers: the two upper chambers are called the left and right atria and two lower chambers are called the right and left ventricles. Normally the right ventricle pumps the same blood amount into the lungs with each bit that the left ventricle pumps out. Physicians commonly refer to the right atrium and right ventricle together as the right heart and to the left atrium and ventricle as the left heart.^[1]

The electric energy that stimulates the heart occurs in the sinoatrial node, which produces a definite potential and then discharges, sending an impulse across the atria. The Purkinje fibers transmit the electric charge to the myocardium while the cells of the atrial walls transmit it from cell to cell, making the atrial syncytium.

The human heart and its disorders (cardiopathies) are studied primarily by cardiology.

Swine influenza is endemic in pigs

Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, pig flu and sometimes, the swine) is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus. Swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs.^[2] As of 2009, the known SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.

Swine influenza virus is common throughout pig populations worldwide. Transmission of the virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always lead to human influenza, often resulting only in the production of antibodies in the blood. If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People with regular exposure to pigs are at increased risk of swine flu infection. The meat of an infected animal poses no risk of infection when properly cooked.

During the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes became possible, allowing accurate diagnosis of transmission to humans. Since then, only 50 such transmissions have been confirmed. These strains of swine flu rarely pass from human to human. Symptoms of zoonotic swine flu in humans are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort.

Torah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sefer Torah at old Glockengasse synagogue, Cologne

The term “Torah” (Hebrew: תּוֹרָה, “teaching” or “instruction”, sometimes translated as “law”^[1]), refers either to the Five Books of Moses (or Pentateuch) or to the entirety of Judaism’s founding legal and ethical religious texts.^[2][3] A “Sefer Torah” (סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה, “book of Torah”) or Torah scroll, is a copy of the Torah written on parchment in a formal, traditional manner by a specially trained scribe under very strict requirements.

The Torah is the most holy of the sacred writings in Judaism.^[4] It is the first of three sections in the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), the founding religious document of Judaism,^[5] and is divided into five books, whose names in English are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, in reference to their themes (Their Hebrew names, Bereshit, בראשית, Shemot שמות, Vayikra ויקרא, Bemidbar במדבר, and Devarim דברים, are derived from the wording of their initial verses). The Torah contains a variety of literary genres, including allegories, historical narrative, poetry, genealogy, and the exposition of various types of law. According to rabbinic tradition, the Torah contains the 613 mitzvot (מצוות, “commandments”), which are divided into 365 negative restrictions and 248 positive commands.^[6] In rabbinic literature, the word “Torah” denotes both the written text, “Torah Shebichtav” (תורה שבכתב, “Torah that is written”), as well as an oral tradition, “Torah Shebe’al Peh” (תורה שבעל פה, “Torah that is oral”). The oral portion consists of the “traditional interpretations and amplifications handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation,” now embodied in the Talmud and Midrash.^[7]

Jewish religious tradition ascribes authorship of the Torah to Moses through a process of divine inspiration. This view of Mosaic authorship is first found explicitly expressed in the Talmud, dating from the 3rd to the 6th centuries CE, and is based on textual analysis of passages in the Torah and the subsequent books of the Hebrew Bible. The Zohar, the most significant text in Jewish mysticism, states that the Torah was created prior to the creation of the world, and that it was used as the blueprint for Creation.^[8] According to dating of the text by Orthodox rabbis the revelation of the Torah to Moses occurred in 1380 BCE at Mount Sinai.^{[citation needed]} Contemporary secular biblical scholars date the completion of the Torah, as well as the prophets and the historical books, no earlier than the Persian period (539 to 334 BCE).^[9] Scholarly discussion for much of the 20th century was principally couched in terms of the documentary hypothesis, according to which the Torah is a synthesis of documents from a small number of originally independent sources.^[10]

Outside of its central significance in Judaism, the Torah is accepted by Christianity as part of the Bible, comprising the first five books of the Old Testament.^[4] The various denominations of Jews and Christians hold a diverse spectrum of views regarding the exactitude of scripture. The Torah has also been accepted to varying degrees by the Samaritans and others as the authentic revealed message of God to the Israelites and as a factual history of the early Israelites, in both cases as conveyed by Moses. In Islam, the Torah (along with the Christian Gospels) or Tawrat is seen as an authentic revelation from God corrupted with the additions and alterations of men.^[11] The faiths revering the Pentateuch consider many of their central tenets to be illustrated in the narratives of the Torah.

I’ve been stateside for the last week, and after spending hours in various airports listening to “Homeland Security Advisories”, dealing with airport security and watching American newscasts, I’m now more convinced than ever that the Fear Industry is very real.

For reasons that I can only speculate on, there seems to be a concerted global effort to create a culture of fear throughout the developed world.  In countries like Australia and Canada, this industry is more subtle, but in the UK and the USA, there seems to be little or no attempt to hide it. 

As I type this, I’m actually sitting in the airport and listening to the “Security Advisories” being announced.  Has anyone else noticed that since they started doing these threat level announcements 8 years ago, the level has never dropped below “Orange”?  Be vigilant, they say.  Watch for suspicious activity.  Inform the police or Transport Security officers of any perceived threats.  Oh and while you’re at it, why don’t you subject yourself to our overzealous and ineffective security screening process?  You don’t mind do you?  Sure it violates a couple of your rights, but it’s in the name of public safety in the “War on Terror”, so you really shouldn’t complain.

What really disturbs me though is the number of people who truly believe that by carrying 100mL bottles of shampoo, the world, or at least the airport, is a safer place.  They truly believe that by taking off their shoes, they are thwarting the next 9/11. 

“Most people want security in this world, not liberty” ~H.L. Mencken, Minority Report, 1956

Especially here in the United States, the people are constantly inundated with messages of violence and fear and possible terrorist attacks.  All of the major news networks flood their viewers with information.  There’s the news anchor with pictures and videos of some tragic story that they repeat ad nauseum for days on end.  There are the scrolling panels that are impossible to follow and leave the viewer feeling overwhelmed and anxious.  And my personal favourite, has been the gradual shift from reporting facts to intentionally eliciting a specific emotional response in the viewer.  “There was a motor vehicle accident on the highway this afternoon involving multiple vehicles that left one person dead and several others in hospital with minor injuries” has been replaced with “There was a horrific crash on the highway that took the life of an innocent young mother, left several others clinging to life in hospital, and left witnesses traumatized”.

The news writers carefully word the stories to guide the viewer to a precise emotional response, be it fear or grief or worry, etc. Whatever that emotion may be, it will very rarely be positive.  CNN hasn’t been dubbed “Constantly Negative News” for no reason.  This phenomenon is by no means limited to the US – it’s just far more blatant here than in other countries.

As I mentioned earlier, I could speculate endlessly on the reasons for this constant fear factor, but I think that would serve little purpose.  What’s more important, in my opinion, is being aware of what has been, and could be, done while people are in this state.  You see, when people are feeling afraid, or hopeless, or anxious, or overwhelmed, or stressed, they have a tendency to give up rational thought.  They’ll listen to anyone who claims to be able to make those uncomfortable feelings go away, and damn the consequences.

The consequences, however, are huge!  What I see happening on almost a daily basis is a gradual erosion of our rights and freedoms.  Every day we trade a little bit of freedom for the illusion of safety.  I’ll repeat that last bit: the illusion of safety.  All of the endless new laws and security screening procedures simply make us think we’re safer, while doing nothing to actually address the underlying issues. 

What many people fail to grasp, is that we live in a world of duality.  Light and dark, hot and cold, up and down, love and hate, good and evil.  You can’t have one without the other.  All the rules, regulations, laws and security procedures in the world will never, ever change that.  If someone is determined enough, they will always find a way. 

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t try to make the world a better place.  I’m saying that we need to carefully consider the wisdom of our current path.  Do we really want to live in a world where everyone is presumed guilty?  Do we really want to live in a world where people are punished because of what they might do?  Is legislating safety really making us safer, or just making us feel like we are?

Lastly and most importantly: what’s the point of fighting for freedom, if you’re going to use that freedom to create laws that take it away?

Teleportation Scroll (7 days)

One of my favorite items inside the game is the Teleportation Scroll. It is a usable item that enables your character to be transported to any map available, with the caves as the only exception. Though not really suggested to new gamers because they do not travel much (and because these items are a bit pricey), these tele scrolls are very useful at higher levels due to quests needing them to go to maps that are far away from each other (especially now that map loading screens continue to experience lag times).

The image above shows a 7-day teleport scroll, usually sold in Alker Harbor vend shops at around 1.3M-1.5M gold. ^___^
