S P E L L   C H E C K E R

Yep, I checked the code in a little while ago ;-)

It's still rough around the edges, I'm hoping Dave or Matt will sand it for me. I did my best, but making things all shiny and glossy... well, they usually come out looking odd. Anyway, I'll try and get the code deployed to Brainopolis this weekend and set up a test user so ya'll can try it out. ( Nov 14 2002, 08:56:44 PM ) Roller Permalink

www.brainopolis.com is back

For those that didn't change their dials to brainopolis.dnsalias.com, brainopolis.com is back. I can see there were a few of you from my referrer logs ;-) The dnsalias url will continue to be good, so as not to punish those who continued to tune it.

More Nanning

Jon, sorry I missed that Nanning has runtime attributes. commons-attributes sounds cool, I haven't caught any posts on it or seen any code checked in, though. Waiting with baited breath. I have got to find some time to investigate Nanning, but the Roller users have spoken. ( Nov 13 2002, 10:21:47 PM ) Technology Permalink Comments [1]

Spike's GeekBlog:

I"VE GIVEN UP HERE this roller thing is interesting, feature rich but still lacking in onet hing i want. Comments. so i've packed up my blog and gone home. as cartman sez: Screw you guys, i'm a goin home. my new geek blog is here.

I guess he feels he is important enough to need comments. If he really cared about it he would pay attention to the Roller developers list and see that comments will be in the next release. Good riddance.[Anthony Eden]

The ironic thing is, I don't see anything worth commenting on. Oh, and Spike also whines that he cannot change the template. Well, he could do it manually, or he could wait for it. Oh, and Spell Checking is coming soon too. ( Nov 13 2002, 10:11:27 PM ) Roller Permalink [Link]

Spell Checker in progress

I'm still working on the spell checker, but I'm getting closer to done. I've added a "Spell Check" button to the weblog editor, which takes you to this screen. The questionable words are turned into select-lists for you to choose from. Or you can scroll down and edit the text directly after having seen what Jazzy flagged as suspicious.

Its still a bit awkward, and Jazzy's choices aren't the cleanest... But it's better than nothing, and leaves room for improvement ;-)

Runtime attributes and interceptors

Now I can add "@attributes readonly" to my methods (or to the class), and have several interceptors use that info to change their behaviour, or the framework can even bypass them entirely quite easily. Neat![Rickard Oberg]

I really wish I had the time to work on Nanning. With the XRAI stuff that Ara recently checked in it should be entirely possible to add Rickard's latest "innovation" to Nanning. ( Nov 13 2002, 09:05:31 AM ) Technology Permalink [Link]

What's a Snook? he asked
I dunno. Matt is playing with some new contact management software. It autogenerated an email which sounded fishy to me. I sent Matt an email asking if it was for real (sounds like some automated sucker bait in the email), or if it was a "snook". Whatever, it was the only word I could think of at the time, but I think it'll be a permanent addition to my vocabulary. It means "something questionable or unsure", or so I'm guessing. Snook is itself snook. ( Nov 12 2002, 04:01:54 PM ) Entertainment Permalink

Otaku, Cedric's weblog : I had the same experience as Lance when I tried to install NewsMonster.  My guess is that it's because I am using Mozilla 1.2 beta.
