3.5 inch poster set on the Behance Network
This poster set is about our old friends, 3.5 inch floppy disks.Higher density drives are built to read, write and even format lower density media without problems, provided the correct media are used for the density selected. This Posters shows, how many floppies are enough for current softwares.
Absolutely agree on what this guy is saying:
The apps which make me want to do something out of character start with a splash screen before segueing directly into a modal “loading” dialog. It’s like they’re spitting directly into my face. Why? Why do you hate me so much? I just want to use your app, I don’t deserve this kind of hostility. No one does.
I have always been fond of small utilities that do one thing, probably one deadly simple thing, and by that save you from lots of boring routine on a day-by-day basis.
Say, you’ve got a Ruby on Rails project. Say, you keep a dozen files in your config/locales folder. Say, you periodically need to sync all of them to the original en.yml file and send to your translators for an update. It’s usually very boring and the chance of missing a string or another is high.
So, here comes a nifty gem to help you with that.
What it does is as follows:
After that you grab the resulting files from config/locales.out and send them over to your translators. When the translation is made, you simply overwrite your original files in config/locales. That’s it. Nothing else.
Give it a try:
sudo gem install rabelyoda
cd your-rails-project-folder
rabelyoda
Or browse the code at GitHub.
La-lal-la-la-la-la-la. :)
Можно сказать, послание самому себе:
- Keep It Simple!
- Перфекционизм - зло! Дизайн кода ничего не стоит, если программа не работает.
- Работай над одним проектом/задачей в один момент времени
- Решай только существующие проблемы!
- Use right tool! Не стоит парсить огромные файлы на руби или писать…
Who, What, Where, When, Why (and How - it ends with a “w” cut me some slack). In school we were taught that these fundamental questions must be addressed in the process of creating a strong argument and delivering a legitimate story. In the world of User Experience, being able to accurately…
We were updating our app’s graphics for the gorgeous screen of iPhone 4 the other day and it was a pain to update all the 163 PNG files we had and not to miss a thing.
So, I’ve come up with a simple Ruby script that checks that for each @1x image you have a properly sized @2x image.
The output it gives is like:
FILES WITHOUT @1x VERSION ============================================ status-new@2x.png FILES WITHOUT @2x VERSION ============================================ Icon-Small.png logo.png message-bubble-left.png message-bubble-right.png no-photo-icon-boy-small.png no-photo-icon-girl-small.png nofriendsbg.png profile-gallery-super-star.png send-button.png share-on-network-bounds-rect.png INVALID IMAGE SIZES DETECTED FOR THE FOLLOWING FILES ================= dashboard-checkin-button-full@2x.png: SIZE IS 506 x 94, EXPECTED 596 x 94

Hopefully it will make life easier for some of you iPhone developers out there. :)
What would you do if you could travel back in time? Assassinate Marilyn Monroe? Go on a date with Hitler? Obviously. But here’s what I’d do after that: grab all the modern technology I could find, take it to the late 70’s, superficially redesign it all to blend in, start a consumer electronics company to unleash it upon the world, then sit back as I rake in billions, trillions, or even millions of dollars.
