I wrote a javascript file that does exactly what you mention, from Launchbar. You can take a screenshot, give it a file type, compression rate, etc and it auto gets the url and stores the image in a intelligent manner.

ie.

Key functionality: it uploads screenshot, files and stores them on ~/Dropbox/Public/screenshots/year/month/timestamp.jpg for screenshots and ~/Dropbox/Public/files/year/filename.ext for files.

However, what you propose seems interesting. I think I'll implement a variation of that for my script.

Cheers.


Any Dropbox alternatives? I use Dropbox with an automatic script to upload screenshots / files / you name it, on Mac.

I'll stop using Dropbox when they release this.


- The feature is not going away for existing users.

- I love Cloudapp for sharing files on Mac. Take a screenshot using Skitch, and drag it to the cloud icon -> URL goes to clipboard, very simple.

When I work with a company that it's on another timezone. I change my timezone myself to be awake and working when everyone else is working in the office. Even if it means I need to work from 10pm through 6 am.

I'm a remote worker that usually works with companies from the other side of the world and usually travels once or twice a year to do in-location jobs. But that's only when they pay is good enough / I'm interested in working with the people that hire me.


I don't know how I feel about this. To tell you the truth, I already did some small use test with 2 users (medium and advanced). And they both have a bit of trouble understanding what that sign was for.

It also didn't help the fact that the outline of the password was distracting: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/4651065/files/2012/3/Screen%20Sho...

The idea itself is interesting, though without previous explanation or knowledge it's just hard to guess what it is about.


Thanks for the blue outline report. Should be fixed now.

The idea is that the purpose of the indicator becomes obvious after some repeated use, and that it is not too intrusive or distracting on its own to be confusing to the new users.


CodeKit is "ok". But I prefer 100 times to use the command line for this kind of things.

Also LiveReload allows you to run it on another sevrer.


To me it seems that he wanted to go the CSS3 way rather than the Facebook way of doing things (multiple dom elements for single UI parts).


CSS3 won't affect the color of a border or gradient (most of which are wrong).


Happy Programmers' Day! On this day I'll do what I love the most: code!


I wrote a little post response to the OP article showing the problems and what you should do to avoid them.

Hope you find it interesting.


I just hope this doesn't inspire people to really shake the macbooks so hard to cause a disk problem or any other hardware issue.

I advise you add a disclaimer for this? ;)


That's actually why the sensor is in there in the first place: to let the hard disk shut off if it detects that the laptop is falling.


It actually makes the HD parks the heads out of the platters in a really mean way. It's better than having heads collide with the platters but it's a wear sensitive operation designed as an emergency countermeasure. Doing it repeatedly on purpose is certainly a bad idea.


I tried to work with PHPFog. Didn't come out as expected. I had trouble with their git workflow; you can't pull stuff from their servers. Interesting huh?

In any case the support was pretty good.


Push-only makes sense, git hosting as a service is a different business.
