Based off discussion in Bug 2560: indicate when on SSL page, it looks like one of the easy ways to prevent confusion is to replace the "nouserpic.png" icon with a padlock.

Anyone interested in throwing something together? Let me know if so!

Hello my lovelies!

We've got a code push coming up (tomorrow, in fact). These means it would be fantastic if the code tour happened at some point in the next few days to a week.

We've got a handy wiki guide to how to do a code tour, if you'd like to give it a go and it would be your first time (or you've done it before but would like a reminder); it's a reasonable-length tour of somewhere under 25 bugs. The outline for you to fill in is in the textarea below (I've helpfully pruned out duplicates from the previous code tour!) -- and please comment to let us know if you've decided you want to drive the tour bus this time! :-)

okay, this time the fact the code tour has 117 bugs is not because i left it for too long, it's because we were super fucking productive :P a lot of these are older bugs that were patched ages ago but weren't resolved in bugzilla, so if things look awfully familiar, that's why! (i went on a massive bugzilla cleanup run.)

here are bugs in batches of 30 for the tour -- call off which batch you want. no super urgency here, i'm mostly just trying to get ahead of things.

EDIT: all taken! thanks folks <3

I belatedly noticed today that there is no community dedicated to punning (*gasp*) so I created one, appropriately named [community profile] punning.

What have you guys been up to?

73 bugs in the code tour -- usually i'd do something that long myself, but i'm on doctor-mandated typing restrictions. anybody willing to grab it? you can split it up among a team, we just need one person to coordinate & post.

It's that time of year again, when a person's mind turns to obsessively making icons! I did this a few times before, but it's been a while, soooo here we go!

I'm making variations on this icon:


It says "Dreamwidth" at the top, with a dreamsheep at the other end of the bubble. Next to the sheep, there is a sign that has a heart on it. Slightly above the heart, in red, is a name, and below the sheep, also in red, it has the person's title.

I've done a fair number of volunteers already (check under the cut to see if yours got done already). I'll apologize ahead of time, but I did not put the user's name in plaintext. If you're using screenreader tech, let me know, and I'll find yours.

sheeeeeepies! )

Ugh. If I keep leaving this this long, please please please kick me and remind me to get someone to do the damn code tour already.

Driver wanted, 55 bugs, ideally by Friday night.

Things I learned today:

- Dot-matrix printers are still in use.
- Among other things, they're used to print prices on laptop bag tags.
- Printer ribbons and ink are no longer available, however, which is why said prices are faded out and hard to read.(*)

So what have you guys been up to?

(*) That's why, right? I mean, they wouldn't make the prices hard to read deliberately, would they?

I stumbled on the following quote today:
Ye knowe eek, that in forme of speche is chaunge
With-inne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho
That hadden prys, now wonder nyce and straunge
Us thinketh hem; and yet they spake hem so,
And spedde as wel in love as men now do;
Eek for to winne love in sondry ages,
In sondry londes, sondry been usages.
I like it, because (to a Modern English speaker) it exhibits the same exact feature it discusses.

Rendering in mostly Modern English, with some archaic or awkward wording to stick closer to the original text. No attempt to make it rhyme or scan. )

So what have y'all been up to?

So, I'm interested in hearing how jQuery Mobile works out on a variety of devices. The mobile code I have is pretty rudimentary and has serious bugs (viewing locked pages with the URL even if you should not be able to!) BUT I think enough is there so that you should be able to load up the basics and tell me if they look at all like this reading page or this entry page--and if they don't, how gracefully it degrades.

WARNING! This is not even a beta site yet. This is closer to a prototype. Many links do not work. There is no error handling. Many annoyances need to be sanded out. The way things appear and are laid out is subject to change. You can report on those things when I get closer to having a beta ready--right now I am still obsessively tweaking things and implementing them. Also, my hack server is going to be slow and creaky.

But I want to test the library's functionality--all I need to know now is whether or not the pages load and look anything close to the screenshots. If you're using the complete way, also knowing that going between pages works, on your device(s)!

The Quick Way

These are static pages whose links won't work, but they'll render.

The Complete Way

This part is best done on a computer:

manage_circle add_read amy
manage_circle add_read hummingbird
manage_circle add_read buzz
manage_circle add_read foxfirefey
manage_circle add_read feylets
manage_circle add_read gir
manage_circle add_read mittens

Then, log into http://memewidth.homeip.net/ the hard way on your mobile device. Then you can go to:

http://www.memewidth.homeip.net/mobile2

The Reading Page link on that list works, as does clicking on an entry.

I just got home from con.txt (a fannish convention that happens every two years nearby me) and I have to share: during the con I had like, two dozen people, no lie, come up to me and say "thank you for Dreamwidth, it is awesome, I am enjoying it so much, please thank everyone who works on it for me!"

So, I am passing this along :)

Merriam-Webster informs me that epicene rhymes with Aberdeen, crepe de chine, Ghibelline, haute cuisine, lethal gene, M16, navy bean, Pleistocene, schizophrene, Tridentine, and wintergreen, but I'm not sure what deeper meaning there is to this, if any.

So what have you guys been up to?

I was recently reminded that after misplacing my Tagalog copy of Beauty and the Beast and fearing it lost for good I found it in my fridge. (And after I found it I thought about it and couldn't think of ever opening my fridge with it in hand.)

So what have you been up to lately?
