Wonder if you could use event tracking to do this with a JS intercept . . . hmmm.

Aaron (who blocks all Disqus) says you are "being very boring" with that comment. And we miss you at MW.

The media=print stylesheet is often the overlooked piece of truly responsive design. :)

Neat - quite literally. As someone just trying to teach myself a bit of design for mobile I can definitely see the comparisons.

I've always wondered if it was possible to track how many people print pages. I guess you could look at your raw logs now for hits on that print css. Of course people might only have got as far as print preview (especially if they've read this piece) but it should give you some sort of indication.

You did it correctly. Hope you'll keep doing them!

Well I suppose I shan't know if I've done it correctly until you've built the robot to whom I'm offering these little sacrifices, then.

Hi Hans--

What service did you post the pic to and how did you write the tag? The integer and short-code versions of the object ID are interchangeable with "the magic of maths."

We are hoping to build a little app that searches both services for photos tagged with both the short-code and integer versions of the tag and pile them all together in a little viewable page... that's the missing piece of the puzzle right now... we'll post about it here once we get there...

I posted my first drawing for you this morning, is there a way to confirm that it worked? I'm concerned that the specified tag is case-sensitive, and doesn't match the integer version on the collection page.

Re: Building Design Week NYC with Ushahidi

Jacob Pang — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 01:19:09 -0000

I just recently browsed the NYC Events Page as I had a similar idea to use Ushahidi for a similar purpose and the big G led me here as well.

I am wondering if you have any notes/pointers on how you deployed Ushahidi for above.

Cheers

I'm struggling to imagine Josef Albers' reaction to reading this post.

ah very cool on the python tip... not sure what you might have been doing wrong, though I recall i had to look through the URL to find the key you need to use as the "pin"

Re: Curatorial Poetry

Thanks Micah, I tried your Gist and several otherw to get the OAuth token/secret with no luck. I ended up installing the Tumblr Ruby Client:

Super easy! Also worth mentioning that Tumblr also just released a Python API this week:

https://github.com/tumblr/pytu...

Re: Curatorial Poetry

Micah Walter — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:31:10 -0000

Jeff,

You first need to register your application with Tumblr via this link http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/.... This will get you a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.

Then, you run this Python script https://gist.github.com/micahw... and follow the steps. It will result in a URL which you paste into your browser, this causes the API to produce a Request Token and Secret.

In the script you'll see it just stores these values in memory and uses them to do a couple API calls at the end of the script, but you can save these values and use them in a command line app like the one I made for Curatorial Poetry permanently ( or at least until Tumblr invalidates them ). I hope this helps.

Micah

A super clean and useful example - thanks! I've been hacking away at a similar program using Python, but I can't figure out how to get the oauth_token and oauth_secret from Tumblr. Could you post some details on how that process works? Thanks!

sure, that makes sense.. :D

Re: “All your color are belong to Giv”

sebchan — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:11:06 -0000

That's because that object hasn't been allowed to be made public (yet).

hey guys, sorry this comment has nothing to do with the post, but I can't find another way to ask you.... why do I get a "Security Cat" if I search for "1994-64-1" in the collection database?

Aaron, this is a great idea, and like all the best ideas I think we may have to flatter you by imitation :)

love it, but the main page is buggy... colors on the beginning of the row open up on the next row down and you can't click on them.

Amazing Giv! You're a superstar!
