Comment on DateJs - Little Ninja Date Library by Geoffrey McGill (Datejs)

Thanks for the post and feedback regarding the library.

The 99 vs 100 problem is a bug. We’re expecting to fix right away.

Same thing with the “The Day After Tomorrow” phrase. Actually, the phrase “Day After Tomorrow” works. We just need to add some ignore words, like “the”, and everything should be fine. Currently the parser *only* supports the hundreds of options as outlined in the Test Suite. See http://www.datejs.com/test/

Anywho, thanks again.

Apple is killing themselves if they allow Mac to run on PC ..

Look at the price for Leopard , its far more cheaper than Windows ..

And imagine Leopard is allowed to be install on a PC ..

Apple is going to lose big $

FYI: Apple earn their $ from their hardware =.=ll

Comment on Mozilla Prism: Save As Web Application by Simon 2.0

Simon 2.0 — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 11:47:27 +0000

Hmm… I don’t know if i should disagree your comment our not
Prism itself is pretty neat to keep a website running on its own process. In your situation, i don’t see how much better it is to have 20, 30 application opened than 20, 30 tabs opened besides the fact that you don’t loose the visit session. In fact, if FF crashes and you try to reopen the application (or closed un-intentionally), it does attempt to “Restore Session”. The “restore session” alone is something that I’m always thrilled about FF.

have found myself wanting such a thing for a long time: I want to think of Gmail, Facebook, and hopefully some day, if it ever gets a clue, my bank, as applications.

Absolutely agreed. That’s why Gmail released IMAP accessibility. With Adobe AIR, a lot of what you are hoping to have is already shaping up. For example, if you run google analytics campaigns, you can now use Google Analytics AIR Beata to manage as a stand alone desktop application. There’s also the neat Wordpress blog editor made in AIR. As long as the service itself provides good API access, creating a separated desktop application for it doesn’t become rocket science anymore.

I guess Prism does solve the problem of saving a website like a desktop application when the website itself does not offer any API or complete API access (which i can understand if it is a banking service), and that’s why it’s hard to disagree to your comment.
On the other hand, the trend of going from web service only in web browser to actually compete with desktop app is still in the early stage i believe. It’s gotta a long way to go both for AIR and Prism (i hate to mention the rocket sciences like pure C, Java, etc…).

Hey there,

Dig yer blog
I have to disagree with you here, though. I think Prism is going to be awesome. I have found myself wanting such a thing for a long time: I want to think of Gmail, Facebook, and hopefully some day, if it ever gets a clue, my bank, as applications. Tabs were a revelation when they appeared, but now I find myself dealign with 20, 30 tabs. And if I crash FF (as it will, unfortunately often, with that many tabs), everything that I was working on goes down with it.

The other thing is, I just can’t deny a certain thrill at the concept of being enabled to _really_ compete with desktop apps, just by knowing how to script and do web design stuff. All those C and Java folks can eat their hearts out

Hi,
Have you seen the sample application called Bee? It’s a photo blog editor written in HTML/Ajax and using WordPress and Flickr services.
Also, try AIRPress app - a Flex based application.
