v33ra··on Show HN: Built my resume as an interactive website, version-controlled on Github
//There must be a way to highlight which are your best skills, like this OP's resume progressbars?//

In fact, I do have one similar to progress bars. Have a look at the skills section in home page (http://veerasundar.com) where I show a strength bar for each skill.

When I ported the skills section, I just decided not to include the progress bar.. may be I should add it there too.

Good one.

Sometime back, I designed my resume on similar lines. I used hResume microformats and some CSS goodies too.

Here's the live resume: http://veerasundar.com/resume/ and a blog post explaining the design: http://veerasundar.com/blog/2012/06/redesigning-my-resume-wi...

v33ra··on Introducing Outlook.com - Modern Email for the Next Billion Mailboxes
+1 on the send button placement. Also when I clicked on the emotiocons, I was expecting a popup to open right below the icon. But the emoticons panel opened up in the left sidebar, totally hiding the to list.

But, I do like the Metro UI, though. Clean!

Same problem here. Switched to DuckDuckGo as the default search engine and now it works fine.
v33ra··on Sublime Text 2.0 Released
I was an active user of Notepad++, but ever since I started using Sublime text, I never turned back to NP++ (or any other editors). Totally love the Sublime experience.

It's up now.
v33ra··on It's up now - Tell HN: Facebook is down in India
No. It's everywhere. In fact, #Facebook is now trending in Twitter/India for its downtime.
v33ra··on Show HN: Get a better job offer, anonymously - my weekend hack
Feature request: What happens when there are hundreds of listings? Would people be reading all those listings line by line?

A search box with filters for each input data you are collecting would be a nice fit.

I simply clicked "I'm already registered" link and the pop-up was gone!

Note: I didn't register.

v33ra··on Differences Between jQuery .bind() vs .live() vs .delegate() vs .on()
Jquip is trying to make jquery less messy by splitting into separate modules.
v33ra··on Beautiful Buttons for Twitter Bootstrappers
Pretty neat. Especially the button text color change according to the background color.

I suppose the generated CSS works pretty much with any templates, not just Twitter Bootsrappers.

Here's another tool which I use it often: http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/

v33ra··on Simple Responsive Design Test Page - bookmarklet
Apart from tons of other features, Web developer toolbar[1] has this functionality built-in. It allows us to save our own dimensions too.

Of course, if one wants just the 're-sizing' capability, then this bookmarklet will sure help.

v33ra··on Data visualization of yahoo homepage traffic
More than the astonishing data, the UI is so impressive. One of the best interface to combine all the HTML5, CSS3 & JQuery goodness.
v33ra··on A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages
//Programmable Hyperlinked Pasta (PHP)//

No wonder it is being served by a 'server'! :)

v33ra··on Ubuntu rips up drop-down menus
//"Instead of hunting through drop-down menus to find application commands, Ubuntu’s Head-Up Display lets users type what they want to do into a search box."//

One of the reason why I loved Launchy[1] so much. That little program drastically reduced the need to use the mouse and launch/find any application with just a few keystrokes.

Even, Ubuntu 11 has similar functionality with Unity. But,it's searching capability is little disappointing, though.
