Your 43 Folders wish list?

Thanks again to everyone for their patience with our little team getting the site up. Thanks for everything. BUT! Enough of this self-congratulation.

We got us a hot-rod new CMS and some hard, pipe-hittin’ new members to help make things fun and interesting. So you tell me:

What new features and functionality do you want to see on 43f? If you’re a Drupal fan already, what modules, Views, or general tweaks do you think we’re missing? What would make your visits more enjoyable, useful, and productive?

TOPICS: Mac OS X

It seems the front page has gone back in time

Meaning: I'm sure I saw quite a few new articles yesterday, but now we're back at Improving Academic Presentation Style.

Currently using IE 7 on an XP-machine.

Replacements for Sciral Consistency

I really like the concept and implementation of Sciral Consistency, but I'm not about to pay $25 for a piece of software that hasn't been updated since 2005. Heck, its still a PowerPC-only binary. It seems to me like it's a dead app, and I'm concerned that I'll never see any updates.

So what do people suggest as an alternative? I've been hacking away at a Ruby on Rails clone of it, but I haven't made as much progress as I'd like to.

Whitelist for Adium?

In his recent IDEO video, I thought I heard Merlin say that Adium has an easy way for you to filter who sees you online. I think I inserted wishful thinking into what I heard because I can't find what I'm looking for. Maybe you can point me in the right direction.

Forum Topic Feed Item Title Links

Wow, that subject line reads like a paranoid schizophrenic wrote it. I'm not - no matter what you may hear around the intertubes.

What I'm getting at is this: When I view a new forum item via RSS and then I click on the title, I'm taken to the forum topic listing rather than to the particular forum topic with its comments and such.

Hope that makes sense.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
