Today when starting up XAMPP in Snow Leopard I ran across this problem where I was getting a HostnameError001 popup. So the first thing that I thought of was to cross check my hostname with my computer name. Turns out that for me this was the problem.

I’ve been working on a project and found the need for a carousel. After some searching I found a great script called jCarousel Lite. I found a bug with the implementation of jCarousel Lite v1.0.1 and how it uses selectors to get the number of li’s in a carousel. In my implementation I’m using list items within each carousel item. After looking at your code the following would result in jCarousel thinking that it has 3 items in the carousel when really there is only 1.

<div id="carousel"> <ul> <li class="carouselItem"> <ul> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> |
The current implementation of jCarousels use of $(‘li’, ul) in the constructor will return all nested li’s regardless of how deeply nested they are in the dom structure. To handle this issue I’ve modified a few lines of code in the constructor to fix this issue. Feel free to apply these changes if you see fit.

var div = $(this), ul = $("ul", div), tLi = $("li", ul), tl = tLi.size(), v = o.visible; if(o.circular) { ul.prepend(tLi.slice(tl-v-1+1).clone()) .append(tLi.slice(0,v).clone()); o.start += v; } var li = $("li", ul), itemLength = li.size(), curr = o.start; |

This is an update to the ejectAllVolumes Dashboard Widget.
This version Will give you a list of mounted volumes. You can deselect any volumes that are listed to exclude them from the unmount action.
Links after the break.
Today I’m releasing a Dashboard widget that will allow you to execute a bash script that will eject all mounted volumes with 1 button click.
To download the widget: Download ejectAllVolumes widget 1.0.1 (Zip file)
For more details check out the ejectAllVolumes project page.
I got some feedback after passing this out to a few friends. Here is what I’ve changed:
clear/dev/nullecho "complete"These changes remove any of the outputs to the display. The only time you will receive a message is if you have file that is currently open in an application and the script cannot unmount the volume.
For more details check out the ejectAllVolumes project page.
After some tooling around I’m finally releasing a little bash script called ejectAllVolumes. This script is named after it’s purpose. It will safely eject all mounted volumes from your Mac.
For more details check out the ejectAllVolumes project page.
Goosh (Google Shell) is a cool web-app written by Stefan Grothkopp. It’s not an official Google product but does tie into many of functions that Google does provide. All access is done through a command-line interface.
Here is a list of the commands that are available:

This is a very cool concept for online video manipulation: A Direct Manipulation Video Player
Here is the project site: DimP
Here is a quote that describes the concept.
DimP, a direct manipulation video player, lets users drag items on the video screen to move forward and back instead of just via a scroll bar on the bottom of the video. This is not only more fun, but it also allows users to scroll through video to where they want to be “at least two times faster,” In a paper presented by Pierre Dragicevic, Gonzalo Ramos, Jacobo Bibliowicz, Derek Nowrouzezahrai, Ravin Balakrishnan, Karan Singh from the University of Toronto, the authors present their method for browsing video by directly dragging content by “1) automatically extracting motion data from videos; and 2) a new technique called relative flow dragging that lets users control video playback by moving objects of interest along their visual trajectory.”
Check the video’s after the jump.
