harrisonpowers··on Show HN: Unioncy – Keep an automated record of your things
If you go this route, which will bring you more customers, you should provide instructions for the major email providers.

Created a small script to take care of this. Hopefully someone else finds it useful.

harrisonpowers··on CSS3 Animation Cheat Sheet
Spent some time yesterday converting jQuery fadeIn/fadeOuts to CSS3 animations and ran into an issue.

Changing the display style (display:none; to display:block;) disables CSS animations and transitions. There are workarounds - setting height to 0 and switching to auto, then animating the opacity - or moving the element off the screen.

Took me a while to figure out why my simple animations weren't working... I had gotten used to display:none; not sure how I feel about height:0;

Torrent streaming is nothing new, but this is a great implementation.
harrisonpowers··on A Dark Room - minimalist text-based game
Was getting undefined errors with that..

This works:

function pushGather(){if(!$("#gatherButton").hasClass('disabled')){$("#gatherButton").trigger('click');}}setInterval(pushGather, 1000);

function pushCheck(){if(!$("#trapsButton").hasClass('disabled')){$("#trapsButton").trigger('click');}}setInterval(pushCheck, 1000);

function pushStoke(){if(!$("#stokeButton").hasClass('disabled')){$("#stokeButton").trigger('click');}}setInterval(pushStoke, 60000);

harrisonpowers··on Releases – a workflow for shipping software to end users
What a great step for Github. I was impressed with Pages, and now they're providing what SourceForge granted the public with for so many years. Options for everyone. All without the sponsored hosting!
harrisonpowers··on Facebook is just fine
Signatures in email have merit, especially when correspondents use a client that strips the email addresses from quoted text in replies. The email address will sometimes be replaced with simply the contact name. While referencing such an email, the only way I can decipher which "Mark" or "Joe" sent reply in a thread is by his signature.

Outlook is, at times, guilty of this.

I'm sure this will help a lot of folks, but I'll keep using my filters and custom inboxes.

harrisonpowers··on Ranger - Finder clone for the terminal
You make a good point sir. TotalFinder allows me to love Finder yet again.

That said, ranger seems pretty slick for what it is.
