Scrolling

In most of the 37 signals apps, like campfire, and most of the google apps, like gmail, reader, etc, scrolling is almost inside the div.  I like this for web app, I think it’s silly for content sites, but makes lots of sense for apps.  It’s nice to never have to scroll to reach your controls, always have the controls reachable.  That really helps make it more app like.

Debian SSL Problems

So we all know of debian’s SSL woes.

Here is the command that I used on boxes to fix it.

rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
apt-get install openssl openssh-server
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

Next Move

There are a few things that I want to do in the next few months.  I want to make a site/app based mostly on an api.  In general I just want to use an api extensively, like twistori, which is based on twitter, mostly.  Google gadget, igoogle, would like to make one of those.  Speaking of google, would not mind trying out google friend connect too.  JQuery is something I would like to try, to see how it compares to Prototype/Scriptaculous.

Thats about it for now.
