I’ve been looking at using OpenSolaris to run the new server I ordered for ChapterBoard. The benefits of using ZFS are quite compelling, and I found this webinar to be really helpful introduction.
Happy halloween. I almost got hit by someone backing up their car and look at the mess he made.
One of the terms we coined there was a “seagull.” We used it to describe certain of our partners (e.g. the owners of Andersen Consulting). Seagulls were the partners who didn’t spend much actual time on your project. They were smart and accomplished. They knew enough about your project to have an opinion but not enough to help. They would swoop in for one day to “check in on things,” shit on you and then fly away. Seagulls.

Use JQuery to open external links in a new window
I spent some time searching the web for a solution and found a lot of out dated ones or ones that just weren’t what I wanted. Here is an easy to implement snippet for anyone interested:
$("a[href^=http]").each(function(){
if(this.href.indexOf(location.hostname) == -1) {
$(this).attr('target', '_blank');
}
});
This is an updated version of the code found here: http://www.drupalcoder.com/story/80-automatically-open-all-external-links-in-a-new-window-using-jquery. Notice the @ symbol which is now no longer supported in Jquery 1.3.x.
