Brainstorming and Voting Amazingly Easy. Free Online Tool | tricider RE: [flexcoders] Connection pools in the FlashPlayer and forcing a close The Player uses the browser's network layer so it's all about whether the browser will return control, and I believe it's up to the browser to decide whether it's a keep-alive or not. I'll see if I can find anything else out though.

Crash Course: Design for Startups I recently stumbled across screenshots of old websites of mine and was hurled into a state of reminiscent shock. I knew they were bad, but wow they were outstandingly horrible (redeemed only by their microformats support! I kid, I kid). Several years and a few Georgia Tech design and HCI courses have passed since those atrocities graced the web but I archived them in a sort of reverse portfolio as a personal reminder of how much my design sensibilities have matured. Only in the last year have I begun feeling slightly more confident about my design quality and process. I have yet to consider myself a real designer and there are quite a few things I would do differently with my most recent work on Notifo and Pic A Fight. I have been brainstorming for the past few days about how to scope this article. What I can do is share what has worked for me. Subtle is key! When I was a wee pixel pusher I would overuse whatever graphic effect I had just learned. Process Required Reading More Homework
PollSnack | Online survey software, web poll & questionnaire tool On Being an Illegible Person I’ve been drifting slowly through California for the past three weeks at about 100 miles/week, and several times I’ve been asked an apparently simple question that has become nearly impossible for me to answer: “What are you here for?” Unlike regular travelers, I am not here for anything. I am just here, like area residents. The only difference is that I’ll drift on out of the Bay Area in a week. The true answer is “I am nomadic for the time being. My temporary nomadic state is just one aspect of a broader fog of illegibility that is starting to descend on my social identity. Since my particular variety of nomadism has me couchsurfing through readers’ homes, they sometimes have to explain my visit to others. Nomadism is the sine qua non of this general phenomenon of individual illegibility. Nomad is a concept that rooted-living people think they understand but don’t. Now I’ve come to realize that’s not really it. This is not really as strangely backwards as it might seem. Vegas Vegas?
