BumpTop 3D Desktop Prototype

I agree with clamboni for long-term file organisation, but personally I tend to keep my desktop almost empty most of the time, and just use it as a dumping ground for stuff I'm working on or using in the short term. Having it visible when I show the desktop means I won't forget about it. For that sorta temprorary / ad-hoc usage I can see this system being pretty useful.

Scare me ! (Guys scaring people gently while they are focus on something : bowling, pool...)

People will be yelling this for a month. Enjoy it while you can.

RSS Feeds (Sift Talk Post)

gfxmonk says...

Well I'm using XMLHttpRequest to get the feed (via the bloglines API). request.responseXML should be provided, but for videosift it often is not. Unfortunately no error message is provided when the XML doesn't parse, it just returns an empty XML object. I looked at the responseText and it appears to be decent XML, so my guess is that it's a character entity escaping issue.

I just tried to reproduce the problem, but it worked fine just now (so either something changed, or it's dependent on feed content - which also suggests an entity escaping issue).

Oh and since it's bloglines, the redirection thing should not be an issue. I subscribe to other feedburner sites and these work fine.

I don't know if it's just me, but lately the RSS has not been parsing correctly. I'm using firefox's xml parser (because I'm doing funky things with javascript). It used to work
