I posted an ad in Boston's Craigslist personals, i'm offering instruction for webdesign in the lessons section. I tried to post the same in Manhattan Craigslist (New York), and it wouldn't let me; rejected it as a duplicate.

Is there any way i can do this? I feel they are more than far enough apart geographically to be worthwhile to post in each.


Thanks for any replies.

You’re probably thinking, ”What the flock is FLOCK!?” Well, today you’re going to find out because we have a little surprise for you in the free issue of Qore today. Below are a couple of videos that show some of the quirky and original gameplay you’ll see in the game.

I want to introduce you to one of my co-workers, Robby Zinchak. Don’t let his young looks fool you. He’s an up-and-coming associate producer extraordinaire who’s ready to answer all your questions regarding this truly unique, downloadable game. Just don’t ask him to show you his ID. (Just kidding Robby.)
Hi! This is my first time posting here, so I figure I should introduce myself first My name is Robby, and I’m the Associate Producer on FLOCK! here at Capcom. As mentioned previously on this blog, the new episode of Qore (available today!) includes both a video feature on FLOCK! and a fully playable demo!
The premise of FLOCK! is simple: you’re a UFO (the ‘Flocker’) which seeks to abduct animals. Through the levels, you’ll abduct these cute animals by herding them into your Motherflocker (yes, really, we named the ship that :P). But it’s not a simple point A to point B operation – all sorts of peril and surprises lie between the animals and their destination. For instance, in one level you’ll play, there are crops between the sheep and the ship, so you’ll have to make crop circles with your UFO’s depressor beam to make a path for them to cross (finally we know the true purpose behind all those crop circles!). Through the game, you’ll have to contend with numerous challenges. Among these challenges, your flock will face pits, scarecrows, water, bridges, and even trampolines that’ll send them flying!
The full game also includes co-op gameplay, so you can bring a friend in to help you herd the animals. In co-op levels, you’ll have to work together to get your objectives met. For instance, one player may need to lift a gate while another player herds the animals through the gate. It’s a lot of fun, so look forward to it! One of our more unique features is the ability to create your own maps with our built in map-editor. We use the same tool to make the official levels, so you’ll have a lot of flexibility and power in the kind of maps you’re able to make. Plus, you can even upload your maps online where you’ll be able to share them with other players.
Each of the levels (over 50!) is replayable – there are bonuses to beating the map quickly and also beating the map perfectly by collecting all animals. As you beat levels, you’ll unlock new abilities to use and items to place in the editor. Sometimes you’ll need to unlock something later in the game that’ll help you beat a level earlier in the game perfectly. Between all the levels and modes included, we think you’ll be getting a lot of gameplay value out of this downloadable game!
So, hopefully that’s a good introduction to FLOCK!. Don’t forget to download the FLOCK! Winter Qore Demo — you’ll be among the first to ever play the game! It includes a full six levels, with three of the four animals unlocked to play with. We’ve even included the level editor to make your own levels! I’ll keep an eye out for comments here and reply where I’m able to. Keep your eyes out for more FLOCK! news in the coming weeks – we’ll have lots more information coming soon!

Young enlightened Egyptian bloggers write about their society's sex code, racism, bigotry, and lust after scandals - all in an attempt to make Egypt a better place to live in.

An Egyptian Citizen wonders where this country is heading:

بجد مش تهريج البلد دي رايحة على Ùين انا مش هتكلم عن سوزان تميم ولا عن مقتل ابنة ليلى غÙران انا هتكلم عن العن٠الي بقى موجود ÙÙŠ المجتمع اية دة Ùˆ كمان اخلاقيات الناس اتغيرت Ùˆ معدتش Ùية احترام لا لقناون ولا الانسان … الناس الي بتعلق ÙÙŠ المواقع الاخبارية بقى عندهم حقد طبقى ÙÙŠ المجتمع Ùˆ الÙقراء ÙÙŠ مصر بيجمعو كل الاغنياء على انهم حرامية Ùˆ انتهازين Ùˆ خونة Ùˆ بيحللو ان واحد يسرق. دة غير اية العن٠الي موجود ÙÙŠ المدارس اكتر من جريمة ÙÙŠ مدارس ÙÙŠ خلال شهر بين ضرب Ùˆ قتل هو احنا بقينا ÙÙŠ غابة ولا اية الواحد كمان مبقاش يمشي ÙÙŠ الشارع امن احسن يخا٠حد يطلع علية Ùˆ يسبتة بمطوة Ùˆ لما يروح يشتكي ÙÙŠ القسم مش بعيد الشرطة تلÙقلة تهمة ولا تعذبة دة غير ان الناس خلاص مش مستحملين بعض Ùˆ ماسكين على التاني كلمة او غلطة Ùˆ دة باين ÙÙŠ اشارة المرور اوي Ùˆ حتى الناس المتطرÙين ماسكين على اي واحد كلمة Ùˆ يقلبوها لطائÙية Ùˆ اعمال عن٠و يحللو اراقة الدم Ùˆ بيستغلو المظاهر Ùˆ بيحكمو على الناس بالمظهر الديني بجد الواحد مبقاش عار٠البلد دي رايحة على Ùين Ùˆ مين المسئول عن الكلام دة كلة اكيد مش الحكومة وحدها Ùˆ الشعب بردو مسئوول I am not joking; I am seriously asking where is this country heading? I will not talk about the murders of singer Suzan Tamim or daughter of singer Laila Ghofran. I will talk about the mushrooming aggression in our society. People's ethics have changed for now people respect neither law nor human beings … those who leave comments of news sites have revealed lifelong grudges against the more affluent segments of the society. The poor have unanimously agreed that the rich are thieves and they are worth mugging. Add to that, violence in schools in the previous month range from severe beatings to murder. Do we live in a jungle? One fears being held up in a street. One fears reporting an incident to the police for a bigger fear of being implicated in a crime one did not commit. Look at your neighbor in a traffic light and see how he is picking a fight .. we lost our tolerance. We no longer know where we are heading and who is responsible for this - definitely it is not the government single-handed … the people are equally responsible.

Lobna Khairy attempted to define the Egyptian Sex Code saying:

In almost every country there happens to be 2 taboos; politics and religion. But in Egypt and some Arabian countries, we couldn’t settle for less than 3; politics, religion and sex!

#1: The porn denial - Parents do not believe that their kids get their sexual education from porn

#2: Men - decent men who have no prior experience will not satisfy a woman

#3: Women - decent women who understand how babies are made are indecent

#4: Only a manly need - women do not need sex

#5: Milk him - to keep him

Denoting that sex is all that occupies their mind and hence if you want to keep your man, you better fulfill his physical appetite excessively or else he’ll be running down the streets searching for other women who can! How degrading is this for both males and females?

Mona Eltahawy reveals the Arab world's dirty secret when she tells a tale of racism:

I was on my way home on the Cairo Metro, lost in thought as I listened to music when I noticed a young Egyptian taunting a Sudanese girl. She reached out and tried to grab the girl’s nose and mouth and laughed when the girl tried to brush her hand away.

The Sudanese girl looked to be Dinka, from southern Sudan and not the northern Sudanese who “look like us”. She looked black African and was obviously in distress.

I removed my headphones and asked the Egyptian woman “Why are you treating her like that?”

She exploded into a tornado of yelling, demanding to know why it was my business. I told her it was my business because as an Egyptian and as a Muslim who was riding the Metro, her behaviour was wrong and I would not stay silent about it. I knew she was Muslim because she wore a scarf.

I told her that the way she was treating the Sudanese girl made the scarf on her head meaningless. Her mother asked me why I didn’t cover my hair and I replied that I didn’t want to be a hypocrite like her and her daughter.

As distressing as I found that young woman’s behaviour, I was even more distressed that the other women in the Metro car with us watched passively and said nothing. They made no attempt to defend the Sudanese girl nor to defend me when I confronted the Egyptian woman.

The racism I saw on the Cairo Metro has an echo in the Arab world at large where the suffering in Darfur goes ignored for two main reasons – firstly because its victims are black people and we don’t about those with dark skins and secondly because those who are creating the misery in Darfur are not Americans or Israelis and we only pay attention when America and Israel are behaving badly.

My argument on the Cairo Metro was a also a reminder of our double standards. We love to cry “Islamophobia” when we talk about the way Muslim minorities are treated in the West and yet we never stop to consider how we treat minorities and the most vulnerable among us.

For those of us who move between different worlds – where one day we are a majority as I am as a Sunni Muslim in Egypt and another we are a minority as I am as a Muslim in America – it is clear that to defend the rights of a Sudanese girl on the Cairo Metro means to defend my right on the New York Subway.

Insomniac wrote about bigotry hidden under thick layers of religious and liberal pretenses saying:

Coming from a religiously conservative family, I was brought up to take extra pride in my faith, even though I did not necessarily understand it enough to practice it properly. Almost everyone in my family (from both sides) has a meaningful name influenced by religion.

Until college, I used to go by my first name and my father’s middle name. That combination made my name sound perfectly neutral; people couldn’t guess my religion and accordingly treated me cautiously in fear of offending me.

Until I got veiled!

I was confronted by how cruel society can be, judging people by their looks. I realized that my neutral name and non-significant appearance shielded me from awkward moments. I realized it was a blessing having been treated with extra caution!

And no, it’s not the expected group of people who judged me, whatever that is. Against the general assumption, I travelled to the US the next summer, and I barely had any troubles because of my veil. Average Americans, aside from the “notorious” political agenda (which is not up to me to support or condemn), do not judge people based on their looks the way people do in Egypt (and perhaps the Middle East). We are such racists and bigots and the sad part is that we hide it under thick layers of fake religiousness and liberalism which we barely practice when unwatched.

Please meet those who judge me...

- Strictly religious Muslims who consider what I wear not hijab, and expect me to dress more modestly, and
- Pseudo-Liberals, either Christians or Muslims who seem to be very appalled by my veil!

Now I won’t go defending my choice or my religion because I don’t think those who judge me or my likes would either understand or appreciate what I have to say. All I can say is “SHAME ON YOU”, both parties.

I find both parties hypocrites, who miserably fail practicing what they preach and give their causes a horrible horrible names.

It used to hurt and offend me when I felt mistreated because of my veil, but then I realized something; it’s a unique way of blocking all the fakers and pretenders who can’t handle but judge me based on my appearance rather than my personality. To those people, I say it’s really your loss, touché!

Wanted for the highest bidder: A dishonest keyboard that would come in handy when offending friends, getting creative in making up scandalous stories, posting dirty innuendos, and leaving anonymous comments. It has to be compatible with a full-time blogger whose sole business is finding fault with what other people write. It has to support him in his fire-starting filth-throwing poison-spreading mission.
The keyboard that I currently own plays games with my mind and refuses to type dirty words and every time I attempt to write one of those words it shuts down or hangs up leaving me at a loss for words. I tried buying several keyboards but they all seem to be similarly flawed - guess they only sell honorable keyboards nowadays.
I tried to get it fixed in one of the maintenance shops … the technician glared at me with anger and said “work on your dirty skills and it will work like a clock; this is a user error!”

Last but not least, Fantasia's World wrote about the qualifications of a scandal in the Egyptian media:(...)

Now. Many, many, many, many, many people have been posting links to YouTube videos claiming that they have found a way to jailbreak the second-gen iPod touch. Here's what you need to know:

THERE IS NO WAY TO JAILBREAK THE SECOND-GENERATION IPOD TOUCH. NONE WHATSOEVER. NONE OF THOSE VIDEOS ARE REAL.

In fact, downloading the programs provided by the creator(s) of those YouTube videos will probably give your computer some sort of virus or trojan.

AT&T Inc. may defy the recession, posting faster subscriber growth this holiday season by tempting...

pEditors Note: We are posting this article from our July 1959 issue to offer an historical perspective on some of the issues being discussed at the United Nations Framework Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland, which began December 1 and runs through December 12./ppThe theories that explain worldwide climate change are almost as varied as the weather. The more familiar ones attribute changes of climate to Olympian forces that range from geological upheavals and dust-belching volcanoes to long-term variations in the radiation of the sun and eccentricities in the orbit of the earth. Only the so-called carbon dioxide theory takes account of the possibility that human activities may have some effect on climate. This theory suggests that in the present century man is unwittingly raising the temperature of the earth by his industrial and agricultural activities./p a href=http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=carbon-dioxide-and-climate[More]/a

I'm looking for a young, fully weaned, hand fed Timneh African Grey Parrot to buy as a pet.br / I'm hoping I can find one between the ages of 2 and 7 months. I know $400 isn't a lot of money, so you can respond with whatever price you see fit, and I'll try to match your offer. I only work on weekends so I have lots of time to care for my new companion, but because I don't work as often as most, I also don't have as much money. I have been searching everywhere for affordable african greys, and have found that they are ridiculously expensive. The affordable ad postings I did manage to find turned out to be pet scammers claiming they wanted to ship one from africa (among other places).br / I'm hoping I can find someone local. I'm willing to drive pretty much anywhere in Ontario to come pick him/her up, but I would like to meet him/her first to make sure he/she's happy and in good health. I'm hoping I can find some people on here who are less concerned about the money they get, and more concerned that their parrots will end up in happy and loving homes. I may not be rich, but I will definitely offer your baby a happy, healthy and loving home with a devoted parent.br / br / Thanks so much, and I look forward to hearing from you.br / Again, I will not be responding to those outside of Ontario. br / br / -Maggie

pWhen I mentioned the other day that our site management system has more than 30 content types, you might have reacted in one of two ways:/p p1. Why on earth so many content types?br / 2. What's a content type?/p pLet's take the second question first, for clarity's sake. /p pIn the beginning of the Web, there was only one content type, and it was the document. Typically coded by hand, it was without predictable form and structure. You can't build and maintain big websites with hand-tooled HTML, so very quickly we moved to publishing tools. These tools combined content with standard layouts (templates)./p pIf you've posted anything on a blog, you've done something like this: /p pimg src=http://www.yelvington.com/files/createpage300.png //p pBlog posts represent a very simple content type. Other purposes require more complex structures -- additional fields -- and different templates for displaying the result./p pDrupal has something called the Content Construction Kit. It's actually a family consisting of a little core functionality and a href=http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/88quite a few contributed modules/a that let you create new content types and add all sorts of interesting fields such as validated date fields, embedded media objects, et cetera./p pOK, so the technology supports multiple content types. Back to the first question: Why on earth so many content types?/p pIt's easy to see good reasons for news items to be structurally more complex than a simple blog post./p pBut we also have some types of content you probably wouldn't think about at first./p pWire stories are an interesting case. We're not loading an AP Online feed into Drupal. We already have a system in place to support AP, and it's not so broken that it needs fixing. But we do need to manage and display AP components in the Drupal environment. So we have a href=http://drupal.org/project/feedapiDrupal's FeedAPI RSS aggregator/a pulling in headlines and summaries. If you click on an AP headline in Drupal, you're sent directly to the AP server. This required a special content type and a bit of template work./p pPromos are another. Every news site manager struggles with competing demands for promotional slots on the homepage for special projects and services, advertising sections, contests, et cetera. So we created a special content type to manage that problem. We made it simple to attach an image that is automatically resized.

As reported on the main site, and as I commented previously on this blog, reporting restrictions which - if broken - would contravene the British Contempt of Court Act, seem increasingly irrelevant. My own experiences in trying to access the reporting restrictions are perhaps a case in point.

Henri Sivonen has posted an exprimental Gecko build that parses HTML 5:

The level of quality is “It runs and some pages render!” This build is not at all suitable for normal browsing use. Please don’t use it with your usual Firefox profile. There are numerous known issues starting with bogus memory management (leaking everything in the parser!), lack of fragment parsing support, lack of quirks mode, HTML elements being represented as DOM nodes that behave like XHTML elements and the integration with CSS layout being inefficient. The baseline Gecko source isn’t synced with the trunk, so the other parts of Gecko don’t have all the latest patches. The parser doesn’t reflect the most recent spec changes. meta element-based encoding declarations and BOM sniffing don’t work.

If a page doesn’t render, try reloading or navigating back and forth.

For background, please refer to a recent
newsgroup posting of mine. (Summary: The parser core is mechanically translated from the Validator.nu HTML Parser.)

Sam Ruby talked a little about the implementation:

He starts from a single source, in Java. The Java code can be compiled to Java byte codes, JavaScript source, or C++ presumably making use of Mozilla libraries for things such as memory management. If he can do that, it seems to me to be a rather small leap from there to producing C++ using, say, either Ruby or Python libraries for memory management, as well as a thin binding to the language. C# would also be a reasonable target.

If this could be done, and made available under a liberal license, it could go a long way towards making available consistent and performant implementations of the HTML5 parser algorithm everywhere.
