Its an interesting experiment in structuring the information which is available out there. It doesn’t work by crawling the net, its a massive knowledge based system which has information input into it.

It doesn’t always know what to do with your question but its quite good at drawing pictures of equations.

In this case, the following article might help:

UrlRewriteFilter

it describes the core project UrlRewriteFilter Project

The problem was divs flowing outside their parents. I was reminded of some pages I used to have up which demonstrate various div layout issues and show some fixes. I have now added them back into this site and they are here.

They key point for quite a few of the solutions there and hopefully for Toms’ solution (except its not quite finished yet) was that sometimes if you have some floats knowing around, it can be useful to have another, empty div with a style set to clear:both; this forces the floating to stop and makes the parent div expand (or should do anyway).

Oh yeah, an important resource that helped me to solve these problems was Eric Meyer’s site.

This apache doc gives a good summary :

Which points you to :

Basically URL is a subset of URI which

… in addition to identifying a resource, provide a means of locating the resource by describing its primary access mechanism (e.g., its network “location”)

.

anyway after 1.5 hours trying various offerings i finally found this:

RapidoResizer

Which does exactly what you want. Simply drag a load of images on it and then resize them!!!!

It does however seem to reduce the quality a little, think i should have started out with png files rather than gifs.

Anyway i now have a way to put an entire presentation including effects on the web.

Simply view it and press COMMAND + SHIFT + 3 and OS X will save a picture to the desktop. Have to give it chance to catch up between shots.

Then can resize them with the above software and then rename them all – need a script for this but am to tired of software nonsense for one night!

So I will create a new category called thoughtblog and then just assign this to each post i want to include!

nice.

This could be interesting…

You can click the links in the header of this page and it will seamlessly go to the mind web!

which is also of course here

Now all I have to do is work out how to convert LaTeX to HTML properly and i can start putting some articles up here.

The other option of course would just be to make a nice CSS stylesheet for an xml format and write everything using that. I can simply print to a pdf then.

wait a minute! google docs somehow manages to show stuff as html ….

so you can just send yourself a pdf and then view as html and save the result!

it doesnt do pictures though unfortunately, but it wouldn be all that hard to put them back in for short articles….

So I also updated the pictures part – customising the gallery application which now looks cool to!

simple trick – have a stylesheet that is itself loaded by javascript in the on load method of the dom.

Then you can override a class which has say “display:block” in a base css file with “display:none” in the JS loaded one.

After that you simply do the normal toggling.

A nice adaptation is to change a class name you use :

    if (className.indexOf('js-hider') > -1) {
        document.getElementById('element-to-hide').className = className.replace('js-hider', 'js-shower');
        console.log(document.getElementById('element-to-hide').className);
        theLink.innerHTML="Hide thing";
    } else {
        document.getElementById('element-to-hide').className = className.replace('js-shower', 'js-hider');
        theLink.innerHTML = 'Show thing';
    }
