A cloud based IDE - a temptation. No download of all the development tools which clog your local machine. OK there is cloud9, but  node.js is only a playground for me right now. 

There seems to ba a new kid on the block >> Koding. It supports Python, PHP, Perl, Ruby and also provides a development environment with MongoDB including web-based shell access. I've applied for beta access - let's see if I get one.

For me Node is difficult to start behause it takes time to assemble all the necessary modules, ... I always wanted a full stack framework. Ok, there is Geddy, but it feels not right for me. But looking at DerbyJS - fantastic. Finally Node and fun.

Quite the same approach but not so node-standard ist Metor.

For now I will give DerbyJS a try

To increase the speed of the page it helps to lazily load image resources. A standalone javascript library for this task can be found here.
Github fasterize/lazyload 

To use it just add the script and change the images to this format.

<img data-src="real/image/src.jpg" src=data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw== onload=lzld(this) />

Havoc Pennington created this one wich is used for Akka and Play.

https://github.com/typesafehub/config

>Searches for config files using the following logic:

• system properties
• application.conf (all resources on classpath with this name)
• application.json (all resources on classpath with this name)
• application.properties (all resources on classpath with this name)
• reference.conf (all resources on classpath with this name)

You can config using a JSON-like syntax with substitution and all the sugar ...

Nice one > UIKit. Might be an addition to my basic template of choice.

Some time ago this could only be done with Flash. Now it works if you have a decent browser installed (chrome, ff10, ...). Se it in action >> turnjs.

Finally found this one. It's a script which simply does the following:

  defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /usr/bin/loginfix.sh 

The loginfix-script has the following contents:

  #!/bin/bash
  rm /Users/*/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.loginwindow.*

To revert back to original behaviour:

  sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook

I really like Bootstrap from twitter. Also quite interesting is this one - maybe I will try it out for the mobile stuff >> HTML5Reset.

To display tabular data I rely on the DataTales jQuery Plugin. Really nice UI and easy backend integration. For a new mini project I wanted to style the UI of DataTables the same as Bootstrap. I was quite lucky because someone already did this for me.

There is a blog entry on the DataTables blog giving an overview of how to achive this.

Template bootstrap (already used, is perfect)
Backend implementation (already like this one)

Nifty notifictions using JQuery/JQueryUI.

Peter Hilton showed a nice example how to do play-based JQuery UI lookup dialogs to select data. This approach is really neat, I would have done more javascript client code and HTML stuff instead. See the original post.
