Wat is een Gepiepelde Hatsjkrumn ?


For the english readers: This is a Dutch explanation of a Peepeled Hatchkruml.

Een Gepiepelde Hatsjkrumn is een van kruimeltjes gemaakt luik in de grond, met als doel zodanig onstevig te zijn dat mensen er in vallen als ze eroverheen denken te kunnen lopen.

Adding a YouTube movie to a Post-It note with YouStickIt

YouStickIt has new features!


Back in 2005, I started with my first version of a “Sticky Notes Guestbook”. All the JavaScript mousehandlers where written by myself. I really hated making it cross browser compatible. Until I discovered Prototype and Scriptaculous! From then on I turned YouStickIt into a solid Web 2.0, Ajaxable, fully buzzwordable compatible web-app.

New features:

  • REST interface
  • Simple HTML in notes
  • Embed Youtube video’s
  • Maximize a single note
  • Realtime updates
  • See who is watching your board
