The Weblog Tools Collections made a list of people in the Wordpress community that it recommends you follow on Twitter. I haven’t seen this anywhere else, so I thought I’d compile a list of jQuery-centric people that you should follow on Twitter in no particular order…

…and of course, the official jQuery and jQuery UI Twitter feeds…

…finally, you can follow me on Twitter too.

If I’ve forgotten any, please let me know in the comments. The jQuery community is growing leaps and bounds every day, and it is hard to keep up on all of them.

I can only assume that religious bigotry and prejudice is driving their activity, as there is no altruistic value in posting our copyrighted scriptures, despite Wikileaks’ self-serving statements to the contrary. -[Source] Emphasis is mine

Copyrighting your scriptures as a means to suppress speaks volumes about an organization, especially a religious one. Poor Guttenberg would have been an unknown.

ImageMagick is versatile enough to use from a multitude of languages. Back in January of 2006, I used it in Visual Foxpro 7 to create thumbs and mid size images for an image gallery that ended up not being used. Here is the source to do that.


loMagickImage = Createobject("ImageMagickObject.MagickImage")
lcSourceFile = "C:\uploads\"+Alltrim(gFileList.FILENAME)
lcThumbnailFile = "C:\uploads\thumb_"+Alltrim(gFileList.FILENAME)
lcMidFile = "C:\uploads\mid_"+Alltrim(gFileList.FILENAME)
loMagickImage.Convert("-resize", "x128", lcSourceFile, lcThumbnailFile)
loMagickImage.Convert("-resize", "x512", lcSourceFile, lcMidFile)
loMagickImage = .Null.

Make sure that you check the option labeled “Install ImageMagickObject OLE Control for VBscript, Visual Basic, and WSH” during the install or else you won’t be able to call it from VFP or any other language.

A lawsuit is under way by a group of lenders against Prosper. Surprised it took this long.

Update: Prosper the P2P lending company, not this company.

My wife has started posting again over at SKFoxy.com. Today she posted some pictures of her attempts at taming the girls hair.

I’ve played with a lot of jQuery demos lately and the stuff that people are coming out with is just awesome.

Check these two out:

Toaster


Slider


Don’t forget that jQuery UI 1.5 is out now with themes support and that the latest jQuery (1.2.6) is getting rave reviews for speed and stability.
