Boxes and Arrows: About Boxes and Arrows

Boxes and Arrows: About Boxes and Arrows

Boxes and Arrows is the definitive source for the complex task of bringing architecture and design to the digital landscape. There are various titles and professions associated with this undertaking—information architecture, information design, interaction design, interface design—but when we looked at the work that we were actually doing, we found a “community of practice” with similarities in outlook and approach that far outweighed our differences.

Boxes and Arrows is a peer-written journal dedicated to discussing, improving and promoting the work of this community, through the sharing of exemplary technique, innovation and informed opinion.

Boxes and Arrows strives to provoke thinking among our peers, to push the limits of the accepted boundaries of these practices and to challenge the status quo by teaching new or better techniques that translate into results for our companies, our clients and our comrades.

Edgewall Software: Python Sidebar

Edgewall Software: Python Sidebar: "A Python Sidebar for Mozilla"

When programming Python, I tend to visit the most current reference documentation quite often.

To get faster and more convenient access to the documentation, inspired by Mark Hammond’s sidebar, I wrote an updated sidebar for the Mozilla family of web browser.

The sidebar also offers simple searching of related python websites and mailing lists.

It might be semi-useful in other browsers as well, but the main target here is Mozilla.

There was a saying attributed to Pope Paul VI...

He said that he always asked the most important tasks to his busiests assistants.

According to him, busy people always manage to find time to do *more* stuff.

And by definition, people who are not busy *never* manage to eb able to do anything else :-)

Staying out of TRouBLe with CSS

Staying out of TRouBLe with CSS: "Trick to Remembering Shorthand Orders for margin, padding, and border

Many CSS properties define the top right bottom and left sides of an element. In order to use the shorthand versions of these properties (for example: margin instead of margin-top, padding instead of padding-left), you need to have your numbers in a very specific order.

That order is:
top
right
bottom
left

An easy way to remember this is to think 'TRouBLe'. If you don't use this order you'll get in 'TRouBLe'."

Python Packages Index: shibazuke 0.1

Python Packages Index: shibazuke 0.1: "The shibazuke module serialize and deserialize standard Python objects. Unlike pickle module, shibazuke only supports following built in types : None, bool, int, long, str, unicode, tuple, list, dict. You can serialize nested objects (e.g. [0, (1, {2:3})] ), but circular reference is not supported. Max depth of nested objects are limited by sys.getrecursionlimit(). Objects are serialized into `shibazuke format' binary string. Shibazuke strings are platform independed, and hopefully, loading maliciously crafted data does not harm."

It also has the possibility of streaming audio over the network, but haven't managed to get this working yet. (I am relatively new to all this, and do not consider myself an expert, by any means, so if you know how to get it working please write about your success here.)

paramiko: ssh2 protocol for python

paramiko: ssh2 protocol for python: "paramiko is a module for python 2.3 (though python 2.2 is also supported) that implements the SSH2 protocol for secure (encrypted and authenticated) connections to remote machines. unlike SSL (aka TLS), SSH2 protocol does not require heirarchical certificates signed by a powerful central authority. you may know SSH2 as the protocol that replaced telnet and rsh for secure access to remote shells, but the protocol also includes the ability to open arbitrary channels to remote services across the encrypted tunnel (this is how sftp works, for example).

the module works by taking a socket-like object that you pass in, negotiating with the remote server, authenticating (using a password or a given private key), and opening flow-controled 'channels' to the server, which are returned as socket-like objects. you are responsible for verifying that the server's host key is the one you expected to see, and you have control over which kinds of encryption or hashing you prefer (if you care), but all of the heavy lifting is done by the paramiko module.

it is written entirely in python (no C or platform-dependent code) and is released under the GNU LGPL (lesser GPL)."

Python Notes

And lot's of other fine stuff can be found on:
Python Notes: "
I'm now trying to do some tests with the concept, using the upcoming CherryPy2 framework. I've already adapted the object publisher to look for classes, and to instantiate and dispatch requests to them. It was a pretty minor change. It has one potential advantage, in that I can handle long-running persistent sessions using clever Javascript hacks such as the ones used by GMail. In these apps, each client connection has a long-running component, doing direct data requests to the server (using plain HTML, XML or SOAP) in the background. This component is hidden in the browser in a non-visible frame, and it does not have to be reloaded every time the page is refreshed. It's an interesting technique already used for highly interactive websites."

Please not this guy is working on cherrypy2 as well :)

SQLObject

SQLObject: "SQLObject supports most database schemas that you already have, and can also issue the CREATE statement for you. Postgres and SQLite are also supported (with Sybase and Firebird in the working), and SQLObject provides an abstraction layer that helps make your application much more portable between these databases."

IE Emu for Moz (WebFX)

IE Emu for Moz (WebFX): "When it comes to DHTML Mozilla might be less powerful than IE4 but when it comes to JavaScript it just kicks ass. The first time a saw a setter being used with a prototype of the built-in HTMLElement constructor I was just blown away. One of my first thought at that time was that this was exactly what I needed to start emulating the IE DHTML Object Model for Mozilla.

The goal of this article is to emulate a lot of IE behaviors to work in Mozilla, both to make old IE specific scripts work in Mozilla but also to make it easier to create new scripts that work in both IE5 and Mozilla. The article is actually going to be a series of smaller articles, each one concentrating on a small part of the emulation."
