Salim Amin begins his talk with a video of refugees and starving children in Ethiopia, very much the sorts of images that have been the subject of critique this week at the conference. In the background of many of the shots is a photographer - Salim’s father, photojournalist Mohamed Amin.
TED and the sponsors behind the conference made an amazing commitment to including innovative young African leaders, thinkers and entrepreneurs into the TED Global conference. Of the 450 attendees at the conference, 100 are “fellows”, here through the generosity of GE, Google and AMD.
Between some of the most preposterously neo-liberal economic laws anywhere in the world and attempts to give oil companies some of the most generous formulas for production sharing, Iraq has suffered plenty at the hands of US-led efforts to remodel its economy. Now it’s the Maliki government that’s threatening to come down “with an iron fist” on striking oil workers:
ImageMagick, as many would know, is a software suite for image manipulation and display, supporting a wide variety of formats. But, what is less widely known is the many facets it has, and the wide array of things that can be done with it. This book gives you more than a hint of all that’s possible.
Remember Netscape - the very web browser which once enjoyed a major browser market share and which was nearly killed by Microsoft's anti-competitive practices by its release of Internet Explorer ? The very Netscape navigator whose code base was then released as open source and which lead to the eventual development of the stable and increasingly popular Mozilla and then Firefox? Guess what, it
CCK Slideshow is a simple module which takes several existing pieces of Drupal modules and makes a slideshow from any existing imagefield defined in CCK.
Dependencies:
- CCK
- Imagefield
- Imagecache
The heart of CCK Slideshow is a content formatter. Formatters provide various ways of displaying field information in CCK. These formatters are used in two places in particular: the CCK display settings and in a view (provided by the views.module).
I’ve read very little about Unicode before but today I had the questionable pleasure of delving a bit deeper into it. Mind you, it still feels like I’ve just dipped a foot in the water, but before today I had only dipped a single toe.
Especially I was interested in the URI encoding (”percentage encoding”) and Unicode. According to RFC 3986:
نشرت مذكرات فتاه يهوديه كتبت في عام 1943 بواسطة فتاه يهوديه تبلغ من العمر 14 عاما و تعيش في خضم أحداث اضطهاد النازيه لليهود
تصف المذكرات العذاب الذي تعرض له اليهود على يد النازيين و كيف قتل طفل صغير بأيدي الجنود المجرده أمام أمه
و كيف أنه ما يزيد عن 6 مليون يهودي قتلوا على يد النازيه خلال الحرب العالميه الثانيه
StumbleUpon was last week bought over by eBay, for a cool $75 million. Taking this as an opportunity to stumble around on company time, James Archibald collects some of the more interesting finds.
This Drupal module attempts to provide context for content items by displaying a block with links to other similar content. Similarity is based on the taxonomy terms assigned to content. Blocks are available based on similarity within each of the defined vocabularies for a site as well as a block for similarity within all vocabularies.
What does this really mean? How should you use this module?

Novelist Chris Abani is a deceptive and funny man. He tells us that he’s been at TED for three days, “watching slideshows, listening to scientists… feeling a bit like a gansta rapper at a bar mitzvah.” Much of the conference, he observes, have been about narrative in Africa. “But we’re really talking about news narratives.
