Heh. So I went a little haywire after that last post and hacked in a rss feed generator for the todo lists (not that it was hard). I am not sure why, I just suddenly got this urge to write it. It wasn’t even that interesting :)
I am not sure if I want to include it or not.
Just wanted to post a quick messages about tlc. I have implemented drag and drop list reordering for list items. I am debating on adding the same for the list of lists. I don’t think it would take that long but I am not sure if it’s needed. What say you?
There is no new release as of yet…there are a few things I want to clean up, plus I want to decide on the list of lists thingy.
Though I would guess a minor point release is just around the corner.
A long time ago I set up a netflix account…and gave my girlfriend the password. I just looked…crap, looks like I am going to be watching brokeback mountain in the next few days as it has already shipped.
I asked in IRC how to display all the properties of a JS object, Eric clued me…and I don’t want to have to think about it anymore, so I am putting it here:
for ( key in obj ) { keys += key + "\n" } alert (keys);
It should be noted that this will result in one giant popup :)
So. I did a google for ‘Nathan Powell’. And what did I see?
So I did a ‘view source’ on the page. And what did I see?
That kids, is called search engine spamming, and should be groked by googles algorithm, but isn’t.
New release of TLC. Cleaned up code. More security. Slightly better look. I am trying to convice John to handle the graphical elements. He seems interested, but is also busy with his own life so we’ll see :)
It is important to note, if you are using an earlier version of TLC there is no current upgrade path, and the db schema has changed so just untarring this release into the dir won’t work. However you really should migrate to this release since I have basically not paid attention to security AT ALL till now.
I plan to concentrate on either getting John to do the interface look and feel, or striking out on my own with it, as I really think it needs some enhancements. There are also a couple other features I would like to add.
**EDIT: I should have said, If you are using an earlier version and really don’t want to start over with a new install, I would be happy to take the time to write an upgrade script for you. However my tracking stats show very little use of the app, so I am guessing most people at this point are cool to do the upgrade themselves.
The RoR mailing list is run by mailman. Funny. Mailman looks like a 1995 web app, but it works fine and there is no reason to use anything else…plus you are in the web app part about 30 seconds per list per lifetime…so it’s all good.
**UPDATE**
Yeah…unless you are super lonely don’t join that list. It’s nuts.
I added the catagory of ‘tlc’. This way only people wanting to get all info related to TLC can get it easily. I also retrofitted all the previous posts with the tag.
I am close to a new release of TLC. If you can, hold off on installing till I can get .6 out there. I have done a lot of security auditing in the last few days and fixed a bunch of things I didn’t like. The new changes will be transparent to the user, but I will feel better knowing this version is on your server :)
…this is how our elected officials pass the time.
