Sprite animation in CSS3
http://www.splashnology.com/article/sprite-animation-in-css3/1485/
Sprite animation – is one of those things that, for all its primitiveness is still working successfully and are being applied in computer graphics and games for more than a quarter century. Even 3D games have sprites – for example, billboard explosions. Sprite animation is used in many browser-and flash-games, because it is very simple and does not require high performance – all you need is to change the frames and that’s it! And with the advent of animation in CSS3 it has become possible to use sprites on your pages without javascript.

New Dropbox TOS lets you boss access your whole dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/updated_terms/
Accompanying email:

We’re working to make it easier for your Dropbox for Teams administrators to
manage all the stuff you and your teammates have in your Teams account. Soon,
we’ll be releasing new features for admins to manage the security of your
team’s stuff and make it easier for them to help when things go wrong.

In some cases, your admin may need the flexibility to take some actions on
your Teams account, such as helping to manage shared folders or restoring
access if you get locked out of your account. In order to clarify that admins
may have access to team member accounts when managing the team, we're updating
our Dropbox for Teams Agreement and Privacy Policy.

You might have some personal files in your Teams account that you’d like to
move to a personal account. For example, if you want to keep vacation pictures
in a different account from your latest Excel spreadsheet, you can use this
online guide to move your files:

View the new agreement and get started here

Keep in mind that you can only link one Dropbox account to a computer at a time.
If you need to access your other account, you can log in to the Dropbox website.
Tokenfield for Bootstrap - elegant jQuery tagging plugin
http://sliptree.github.io/bootstrap-tokenfield/
I couldn't find a tagging plugin that would support copy-paste and keyboard properly, so I built one. I was actually inspired by Gmail's and Sparrow's To-field :P

It's still a very early release, so it probably has bugs, will eat your cat, etc... but I hope to get some good feedback.

It will soon also have autocomplete support and allow you to edit existing tags, plus a few other things.

Personal Communication demands to be based on Self-Similarity
http://blog.youtego.com/2010/02/15/personal-communication-based-on-self-similarity/
Any person has his own personal life path. A person believes that it is truly unique. However we may find a number of identical things that actually makes us all similar.
There is actually a structure of certain characteristics that describe us. In studying people researchers find that they hold the same structures with only difference – there is a unique image of inside particles.

Show HN: Zen Mode – Hide Everything. Mute Everything
https://zen-mode.carrd.co
My Macbook is a complete mess, and I’m often in strange situations when somone approaches my desk or during a meeting, because my desktop is unorganized with icons , there are constantly several windows open, and I was frequently chatting in the conference while on mute.

I needed a solution where I could tidy up the desktop icons by concealing them, or hide all windows except the one I was presently working on, or turn on or off the microphone with a single click without having to seek for it.

I've been searching through different tools to see if there's anything that could fix this problem. While I've found a few, many of them are pricey, so I figured why not build one myself.

Here is where Zen mode comes in, with a single click you can hide desktop icons, hide inactive windows, mute mic or speakers.

You can watch a quick intro to the tool here: https://youtu.be/wT2PdPg-RZo

You can download the mac app here: https://zen-mode.carrd.co/

Any feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Simply scale with Nginx, Memcached, PHP-FPM and APC
http://www.jblotus.com/2013/02/01/simply-scale-with-nginx-memcached-php-fpm-and-apc/
When I started programming in PHP, my hosting setup involved a cPanel installation with Apache and MySQL. This has been the de facto standard for many PHP developers and for the most part I don’t think any of that needs to change. I simply never had to deal with websites that got more than 10,000 visits a day. This all changed when I started work at my current job a few years ago. We sell an educational product that serves a predictable 15,000 requests per minute for 10+ hours/day, every day. Instead of Apache, we use nginx with PHP-FPM to handle this traffic. This is becoming a very popular setup for many companies with non-trivial traffic, but I have also found success with it in my small 256MB Ram VPS. For various reasons, nginx does a better job with memory and concurrent connection handling than Apache. In this post, I want to talk about some of the reasons you might want to go with this setup.

Billing using NetFlow. Thoughtful Ain't it?
http://blogs.manageengine.com/netflowanalyzer/2008/07/16/billing-using-netflow-thoughtful-aint-it/
Have you been in this situation:

Say, you are the network administrator/manager in your organization. You have been asked to find out exactly how much IT expense each department(ex: finance, HR..) incurs, in your organization. And you do not have much to spend.

Or you are a service provider and everyday you come across customers asking you for a different bill plan. A customized bill plan! You also want to save time by automating the periodic bill generation as per the schedule. All this with no additional infrastructural cost. It can be done!

Yes. Manageengine NetFlow Analyzer has a solution for you. With no additional infrastructure cost, it helps you to charge-back based on the bandwidth utilized. All this is done using the NetFlow data exported from the router to the NetFlow Analyzer. Usage based billing is a very useful feature for service providers and enterprises. The value this adds to the traffic analysis and network forensics is tremendous. With the ever increasing need to curb IT expense, the popularity of this feature is on the rise.

Thoughtful! Ain’t it?

Ask HN: Help, What agile project mgmt tools work for you?
I recently went from working at a great company to freelancing on my own. I'm about to start two projects where I will be acting more as a PM than the sole developer. I really want to follow a solid process and I'm trying to figure out the best set of tools to use and am pulling my hair out.

Things I would like: (1) An elegant, usable, hosted app (2) manage user stories (3) manage dev tickets features/bugs (3) track time against tickets (4) manage overall milestones and project status, feedback look w/ client

I feel like I've signed up for every trial out there and nothing really satisfies everything. The right solution feels like it should be some mashup of Basecamp + Harvest + Pivotal Tracker

What tool or combo of tools are you guys successfully using and can recommend with conviction?

Chrome nearly replaced Firefox in Ubuntu, Mark Shuttleworth says
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/061311-mark-shuttleworth.html
Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth is a big fan of Google Chrome, and says the browser could replace the standard Firefox in future versions of Ubuntu Linux. "We looked at it closely in the last cycle and the decision was to stick with Firefox," he says. But the work that Google is doing with Chrome OS — essentially the Chrome browser on top of Linux — is potentially leading to a future in which "Chrome on Ubuntu and Chrome on Linux is a better experience than Chrome on any other platform [i.e. Windows and Mac]." In a wide-ranging interview, Shuttleworth also discussed why he spent $20 million to become a space tourist but doesn't own a smartphone, controversies over Linux and Unity, the future of Ubuntu tablets, and says the move toward putting personal data in the cloud is "a little scary."

Romanian software and hardware developers, challenged at Raspberry Hack
http://www.hackathon.ro/en 
Hackathon.ro, a community which gathers the Romanian programmers through regular hackathons held in Bucharest, announces a new event dedicated to technology enthusiasts. They are invited to compete at Raspberry Hack, a 24-hour marathon of hardware and software development on the smallest computer in the world, Raspberry Pi. The competition will take place on April 20-21 in Bucharest and will include prizes totalising 3,500 Euros.
Participants will develop hardware and software projects, within whatever theme they choose. The only condition is to use a Raspberry Pi for developing their project.
Raspberry Hack is the third competition in a series of events organised by Hackathon.ro to stimulate and support the activity of the main communities of programmers and hardware developers in Romania. The first hackathon took place in June 2012 and was dedicated to all open source fans. In October 2012, a new event took place. Over 200 programmers competed at Hackover, the second edition, in order to develop Mobile, Cloud Computing, Web Dev aplications. The value of the prizes awarded within these competitions has amounted to over 5,500 Euro until now.
The Hackathon.ro community was set up aiming to bring together the programmer communities in Romania, to stimulate the communication and cooperation between them and to encourage programmers to make the most of their creativity and skills. Software competition will be organised by Hackathon.ro at least two times a year.
Besides hackathons, the community intends to run other activities dedicated to programming and technology enthusiasts, such as workshops and trainings or start ups for great ideas.
