You can now generate a visual tree style log, open your shell

# show me everything

"sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo"

Here’s a quick and I believe secure way to invoke a remote command via ssh which uses sudo without completely disabling requiretty
Note the following when running visudo

#
# Disable "ssh hostname sudo ", because it will show the password in clear.
#         You have to run "ssh -t hostname sudo ".
#
Defaults    requiretty

Adding -t allows the command to execute without requiring tty, according to the ssh doc -t…

[Forces] pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute arbitrary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can bevery useful, e.g. when implementing menu services. Multiple -t options force tty allocation, even if ssh has no local tty.

Here’s a sample SSH command…

# run an arbitrary command
$ ssh -i my.pem -t ec2-user@127.0.0.1 'sudo reboot'

or
# run my script which has some sudo function"
$ ssh -i my.pem -t ec2-user@127.0.0.1 '/path/to/script/doit'

Properties

The function will return a object which contain the properties

var obj = convertMilliseconds(3661000);
obj.hours         //–> 1 hour
obj.minuets    //–> 1 min
obj.seconds    //–> 1 sec
obj.clock        //–> “01:01:01″

Usage

Gist

Documentation:

To install the iframeFitContent plugin, download jquery-iframefitcontent.min.js and link to the script after installing jQuery 1.4.x. Then in a new script block call the .iframeFitContent(); method on a jQuerified object which contains a reference to iframes you’d like the plugin to resize.

To run the plugin on all iframes use the following code:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.yourserver.com/js/jquery.iframefitcontent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	$('iframe').iframeFitContent();
</script>

To add padding to the bottom of your iframe add the padding parameter as follows. Note the padding value must be set as an number.
Or apply the re-size to either height or width:

    $('iframe').iframeFitContent({ resize : 'height' });

Since DNS lookups are cached, keeping the number of domains to a minimum gives you a small performance boost.

“The Domain Name System (DNS) maps hostnames to IP addresses, just as phonebooks map people’s names to their phone numbers. When you type www.yahoo.com into your browser, a DNS resolver contacted by the browser returns that server’s IP address. DNS has a cost. It typically takes 20-120 milliseconds for DNS to lookup the IP address for a given hostname. The browser can’t download anything from this hostname until the DNS lookup is completed.”

Both spiffy corners and nifty corners are great solutions.  However, I needed to consider what might happen when user added alot of boxes to a page. How would these JavaScript heavy solutions perform? Also there is the issue of users who have disabled JavaScript in their browsers. I wanted a solution which could swing both ways. A solution which could be created using CSS only or be applied with JavaScript. Finally, I want rounded corners for a designer. I wanted a solution which could be custom themed one in which the corners could all be different, so of course this means using images for the borders and the corners.

A few notes…

First I’ll be updating this post soon with some graphics and instruction, but for now just go here
Custom Corners Demonstration.

Also, I ran across this post from 465 Berea St Transparent custom corners and borders, version 2

Anyhow, that technique seems very close to my own. I’ll update this post with the differences once I’ve had a chance to see how my technique differs from Roger’s.

During this conference I had the rare opportunity observe user testing first hand. As a designer, my experience with testing has typically meant, passively accepting that all those beautiful widgets I’ve spent weeks developing need to be tossed out or reinvented. There is a tendency for us, designers to see user testing as an opportunity for ridicule. More often than not we send out our best work and receive a litany of small complaints which seem designed to humiliate. Designers don’t see our user base struggling with the UI we design.

In art school when you get “constructive” criticism it’s delivered by of students who know they’ll have to face your criticism in turn. However, there is no compunction to temper criticism during testing. When you get it wrong it stings all the more because if it’s an honest test, your getting unbiased criticism.

So when I was offered the chance to view the testing first hand, I was hesitant to go, but curiosity won out.

The tests I attended were conducted over three days based on a script developed with a number of target questions. At the end of the test there was the opportunity for some free-form questions. Tests ran about an hour for each subject. I was allowed to observe and ask a few questions at the end of the test.

I would describe this whole process as humbling. It’s hard to watch a user struggle to find a link they can’t see. All those little details you thought you’d get around to later are waiting there and glaringly obvious during the test. Watching these users really gave me a sense of the importance of the details. Underlining links, keeping page region clearly delineated etc.

Designers like artists (and many of us are artist), tend to have a good deal of ego wrapped up in our designs. Objective criticism keeps us honest when the test are well constructed and fair.

When you get it right, you know you really nailed it, and that’s a great feeling.

My designs are clearly informed by my background in fine art – I spent most of my formal education sketching, painting, sculpting, and of course, doodling.  Upon occasion, I even did these things in Legitimate Art Classes (as opposed to, say, Geology or Psychology classes, where impromptu design – particularly large-scale sculpture – was woefully underappreciated).  In 1998 I started working as a freelance web designer in the emerging internet.  I’ve had the chance to work with some truly talented people and continue to enjoy the personal connections this career affords me – artists and programmers whose work and passion I respect, and the gifted managers of people and resources who make this work possible. In my varied career, I have appreciated the unique challenges of novelty, and have consequently worked in a broad range of settings and with a diverse client base, from my ground-up work as the number two man in a design-house start-up to large, established organizations catering to millions from all across the globe.

What do I do now?

I’m currently a salaried consultant with Comsys, presently deployed as the consulting Art Director for the American Chemical Society, Web Strategy and Operations department. This means I lead a team of exceptionally talented individuals with whom I collaborate, creating new and better websites to meet the needs of this large and diverse organization.

On a day-to-day basis I am responsible for overseeing the design and art direction of ACS.org websites, including the recently launched Member Network, a social networking site that now claims greater than 30,000 members.  Though projects of this size necessarily require me to delegate many tasks to my highly-skilled team of designers, I continue to maintain a hands-on role in the design and production of these and other projects.
