Weekend mode for Twitter Clients
I tend to agree with Shawn Blanc’s comment that this mode would be more of a during-the-work-day than during the weekend mode for me.
What I'd love to have is a "weekend mode" in my client. (Or it could even be a separate client.) The weekend mode would show me only mentions, direct messages, and items with links. However, the items-with-links would not include yfrog and similar links: if it’s just a picture of someone's sushi or their wacky goldfish, I can skip it.
A piece with a lot of screenshots about the close tab behaviour in Google Chrome
To out-polish Apple, you have to get up pretty early. That such a high level of attention is paid to a detail like browser tabs is why Google’s applications are so invisible. Apart from Google Wave, of course, whose UI is pretty much a steamroller running you over in the getting-out-of-the-way stakes.
Tabs, tabs, tabs. The specialist subject of UI experts everywhere. Should tabs just rearrange horizontally or also detach? How much vertical scroll buffer should a tab have before it detaches? Under what circumstances should it detach? What about reattaching?
I often advise people to do nothing for a time; I believe it gives the brain time to organise its thoughts.
We are part of an industry that is addicted to enthusiasm, to getting things done, and discovering the new, but sometimes the right move is stopping and putting this world on hold. You need to learn how to build quiet moments of nothing as a measure of balance.
If you have an error which looks like the following:

Make sure to do this with the right versioned easy_install for your Plone install.
New microsyntax for Twitter: three pointers and the slasher
Like text messages, the constraints inherent in the tweet medium inspire creativity. Chris Messina, who documented the hashtag syntax, comes up with a new character-saving idea: the slasher or slashtags. A slash followed by a compact vocabulary to help metadata. The first three “words” in this vocabulary are via, cc and by.
First, I’ve decided to migrate from encapsulating my metadata in parentheses to using a slash delimiter (”/”), which, for shits and giggles, we’ll call “the slasher”. This saves you ONE character, but hey, those singletons add up!
