Pivot.js

Pivot.js allows you to summarise large data sets on the fly. Although my initial reaction is that if you could avoid doing that clientside then you’d probably want to, however that’s probably just my head stuck in the past a little.

Play with the demo, it looks pretty powerful.

Slow Feeds

The simple and smart feed reader that filters the slowly updated feeds from your feed subscriptions and keeps them from getting lost in the fast river of high volume blogs and news.

In my constant search for the perfect RSS reader I really like the idea of this. iPhone only at the moment, but might be one to keep an eye out for.

Andrew Dickey- Black Bike vol. 1

Probably not what most people typically think of when you talk about Mountain Biking. Very cool video (nice background track too - Attack Ships on Fire, Architect).

Noty–a jQuery notification plugin

If you get asked for “Facebook style notifications” you could do a lot worse than check out noty. It has lots of customisation options, looks pretty slick, and can be made to look as Facebook-like or as un-Facebook-like as you like, like. Like, valley girl accent option.

Playing SWTOR? Getting issues with “The launcher is being updated. Please wait…”

It might sound like a stupid fix, but it seems to work:

  • Open launcher
  • Click the small gear icon on the lower left
  • Change Language from English to any other language
  • It should start updating, give it a few minutes
  • When it starts updating, change the Language back to English.

Original link here.

Slidorion - a combination of an image slider and an accordion

Hey just what we need, another jQuery slider! However Slidorion does offer some alternative display methods over your typical jQuery slider. As they put it, “Slidorion displays beautiful images along with a variable length description”
