I like this site https://raymii.org/

From http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Undoing-Things:<br/>
"One of the common undos takes place when you commit too early and possibly forget to add some files, or you mess up your commit message. If you want to try that commit again, you can run commit with the --amend option:"
<pre>
$ git commit --amend
</pre>

Went to a squiz presentation (with free breakfast). Interesting talk on "YOU GET WHAT YOU DESIGN: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF USER EXPERIENCE"
</p>

Things learnt:
<ul>
  <li>Attention as an element of UX design - questions like
  "am I able to direct my attention to a particular aspect of the site",
  "can I isolate what I'm looking for", (some other aspect which I can't recall.. paying attention??)

   </li>
   <li>Recognition is far better then recall - asking people to recall things is harder. Sites need to place little domands on memory.</li>

   <li>
     UX elements need to support the content/message rather then distract from it. Large impressive backgrounds or parralax bagrounds were given as an example that are good
     when they support, but are bad when they make it difficult to find the call to action etc.
   </li>

   <li>
     links that turn pupple when clicked are good UI because it helps the user know where they have been
   </li>

   <li>
     People come to a site to "find what they are looking for" or "compleate some task"
   </li>

</ul>

Getting a stack trace from your zope instances which have lock-up can be done by sending SIGUSR1 to the zope process.
A stack trace for all threads will be printed to stdout. This is documented by reading the code :( but retrospectivly
I also googled it and found it in the Change log. It is now here for everyone to know.
</p>

<p>probably worth knowing some background on signals http://docs.python.org/2/library/signal.html</p>

The most profitable form of communication (possible even an aspect of the goal/joy of relationships)

        <p>opinion: Your email provider should not be giving your email for free</p>

        <p>
          For something so so important, you should at least have the a relationship with your email provider
          for which you are a customor and they are responsible to you, otherwise running your own email service
          is a good options too.

A graphical diff viewer - I highly rate http://meldmerge.org/ (available also in apt on ubuntu) Not only views but
lets you perform a merge accepting/rejecting chunks, directory compare and three way chunk merging is awesome :)

Interesting that google is offering free online webaccessibility course... https://webaccessibility.withgoogle.com/preview
</p>
<p>
  I suspect that because better internet expirense is better business for them, it makes sense for it to be free.

<!-- notes start here, use <h1/> to seperate -->

Mail systems need good monitoring - of their errors which they produce.

I notice, there is no concept of "home page" on mobile browsers.

I really love this email testing utility: http://www.brandonchecketts.com/emailtest.php
</p>

<p>Includes testing for:</p>

<ul>
  <li>DomainKeys</li>
  <li>DKIM</li>
  <li>SPF Records</li>
  <li>Spam Assassin</li>
</ul>

        <p>OTRS - search to find tickets open for multiple clients:</p>
<p>clientA OR clientB OR clientC</p>

<hr/>

<p>A developer work flow - rather quick rant but better then nothing.</p>

<ul>
<li>Who are the poeple I need to communicate with?</li>
<li>What is the documentation and tests for the project?</li>
<li>What is being required?</li>
<li>Get access to verious envs - authenticate etc....</li>
<li>Set-up dev environment - check and test that you have the right code and it works properly</li>
<li>Do development check in stuff or document stuff or talk to people or learn stuff</li>
<li>Sep-up prod deployment environment and pull work from you dev environment</li>
<li>Think</li>
<li>Deploy</li>
<li>Email people close tickets</li>
</ul><hr><p>Words</p>

<ul>
<li>150 - from Dictionary browsing</li>
<li>150 - from English to Vietnamese of selected topics</li>

</ul><p>Nikola is recommended to me because it supports image galleries. Will need to restructure my repos because Nikola outputs to a sub directory and github pages doesn't seem to support having a separate root dir.</p>

<p>Initial thoughts on structuring this site is to just have only one story/page like it is now - but no content images just text.</p>

<hr><p>--Marker-- 2013-03-28</p>

<hr><p>Another idea - A <strong>desktop windowing system</strong> where the windows do not reorder but rather - clicking on a window underneath lifts the windows above it off the screen.</p>

<hr><p><strong>An advanced search engine</strong> I would really like (I would love to write it): Were indexes in the search engine are exposed as well as a defined query language API which can be used - I would pay for it.. I want a search engine with technical ability and is not pretending to be too smart and read my mind.</p>

<hr><p>This is page is probably the enemy of search engines. and aggregates. sorry, it is only really for my own use. It is kind of like my <strong>bookmarks</strong> but for thoughts as well as urls.</p>

<hr><p><a href="http://todoist.com/">http://todoist.com/</a> slick looking web app. Looks quite functional but I'm not sure about a karma rating. New-age blah!</p>

<hr><p><strong>Six Hats</strong> thinking for discussion and thinking - seems quite useful for through exploration. My first comment is that the framework is issue focused and finding the best resolution to an issue - good for lots of situations but may not be loving when the issue less important to the people in the issue.

<hr><p>UI Interaction in Plone - The publication state is more significant for a content items permissions then the sharing tab. Meaning that a user might click on the sharing tab for a published item - uncheck the "inherit permissions" tick box and then click "View" for the group that they are intending to restrict permissions not realising that their intention to restrict is trumped by the publication state of the item. The sharing tab should not allow or at least give warning when you try to grant permissions to a group or user who already has that permission. Or the publication state should be more clearly assosiated with the permissions model... perhaps even making the sharing tab labeled - "publication and sharing" and displaying the publication implications to the permissions in the tab.</p>
