Jeff Schewe recently released Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS3 and put up a post detailing out his visit to the press. If you’ve ever wondered what a high volume book press looks like, definitely check it out. Found via Michael Reichmann’s Real World Camera Raw with CS3 review, which is also worth checking out.
On Wednesday, we released the Bloglines Top 1000, a ranking of what feeds are most popular with Blogliners. It’s a bit of a narrow ranking, as it only takes into account people who use Bloglines, but it’s a fun thing nonetheless.
One dirty little secret is that the ranking actually extends far past the top 1K. For instance, I’m ranked #53278, just ahead of Ray Ozzie (as of right now).
If you want to figure out where your feed is ranked, here’s a little trick, assuming you are logged into the beta and are subscribed to your own feed. First, open up the Bloglines console by hitting the ~ key, then paste in the following command:
window.location.href="/b/preview?siteid=" + bl.app.User.feeds.find("your feed name")[0].siteId;
“your feed name” is case sensitive and corresponds to the name you see in the feed tree. That command will take you to the preview page for your feed where you can see your feed’s ranking. After that, getting to the correct page on the top1K is pretty simple. Just take your ranking, divide it by 100, truncate the remainder, and add 1. So for me and my stellar 53278: 53278 / 100 = 532.78, drop the .78 to 532 and + 1 = 533. Yay for simple paging math.
So go check it out. See where you’re ranked. :)
Saw this on Drawn! and had to share it. If only I had a hi-res version for the wall. :) Originally posted on Animation Backgrounds.
Last night, Dojo 1.0 was tagged and released into the wild for all to play with. Massive congratulations to the entire team on this phenomenal piece of work. As has been documented before, it’s the underpinning of the new Bloglines front-end and has served as a excellent foundation upon which to build.
More in the future about how we’re using Dojo, why we chose it and how we interact with it internally.
For those only seeing this in feed readers, blowery.org is sporting a new look today. Out with the dark, in with the light. Come check it out. :)
