Solution: install the Fireworks CS4 upgrade from Adobe’s website.
Adobe – Fireworks Support Center : Downloads : Updaters
Then Fireworks will start crashing after quitting, but that’s not such a big problem :)
I don’t know why, but after transferring my account from my old Macbook to the new one, 3-finger and 4-finger multi-touch gestures stopped working (in Snow Leopard). To solve this, just reset the PMC. The following procedures is for Macbooks which have internal batteries.
After doing this the 3- and 4-finger gestures started working again.
Flickr has changed their buttons with flat ones instead of the thick-bordered ones they had before. I didn’t like the new ones very much because they lack the affordance of being “pushable”:
Here’s a crude version on how I’d make them more button-y
Also, I think UI-wise the buttons could lead the user to do the more desirable action for Flickr. In this case, they have placed a Preview button so users would read what they write and end up leaving smarter comments :) Why not highlight it a bit?
or then in the style that Facebook has introduced:
It’s good to provide users guidance in the form of defaults actions in forms and dialogs. A good example is Mac OS UI’s dialogs such as:
I found a great library that makes FBJS more similar to real javascript by adding functions like getElementsByClass and getElementsByName, while also borrowing some prototype/jQuery syntax and extending $(’..’).show() etc. syntax to objects. Map and collect as a bonus! :)
Turkcell’s web page for managing mobile phone subscriptions not only annoys customers with superfluous captcha and password aging, they do not provide a ‘back’ button in their error page as well!
They probably expect the customer to return to the previous page using the tab. However, it should ideally not be a link and should have the same content in every page, as they don’t have any secondary navigation.
Normally in views you would use $this->helper(); to use a helper, and inside other view helpers, you can simply use $this->view->helper(); to access other view helpers.
This has continued for the last few weeks. Interesting… I wonder if this has anything to do with me using the Offline version too.
After updating to 10.5.7 I started to get kernel panics and the system would not start.
To fix this, restart your Mac in safe mode by pressing shift. Then launch the command line and use this to uninstall the VPN client:
sudo /usr/local/bin/vpn_uninstall
This will remove the kernel extensions which prevent the system from booting up.
I wondered why Apple decided to let go of the address bar that would fill up as a page loads, as it was an elegant UI that communicated what was happening.
Apparently this change was made to prevent users’ delusion that they had to wait until the bar completely filled up:
The big blue progress bar led to users waiting for mostly-loaded and usable pages. Removing it makes browsing effectively faster.
This sounds like how users think keyboards interaction is much faster even though they performed equally as well with mice.
Application name in Swedish.
Timestamp in Finnish.
They are coming from the locale from the originator user. Strange.
