Wow, what a great week on hypem.com. I haven’t been checking in there a lot lately but I did a few days ago and some of the new stuff really blew my mind. Sure, there were the usual hip hop/electronic mashups and Passion Pit wannabe bands, but every once and a while you pick up on a gem.

How to select multiple elements dynamically using jQuery

🖊️ ⌚ 🔖 Programming 💬 0

I’m a bit of a jQuery noob, but I love it. Recently I came into a situation where I wanted to be able to select a bunch of input elements on a page that shared the same first part of their ID’s. Not only that but it had to be dynamic - that first part of the Id had to be stored as a variable rather than be hardcoded. jQuery’s selectors, like input[] do not allow you to use variables. However, it is possible to use the filter() method to select what you want from something more general.

Your Bike Frame And You

🖊️ ⌚ 🔖 Cycling 💬 1

It seems every ride I go on lately isn’t complete until someone gets into an argument about which material makes the best bike frames.  Face it, we’re kinda religious about that stuff. Its almost like defending your major in college or something else equally as meaningless. In any case, I know where my allegiances  lie, but I thought I’d make some insulting generalizations at everyone’s expense anyways.

MyTime Time Keeper

🖊️ ⌚ 🔖 Technology 💬 2

I created a time keeper program for my final in Databases class. Its actually pretty useful if you have several jobs and you want to be able to keep track of your time and earnings. Its written in php/mysql so you will have to have webspace to host it. You can read more about it here:

Getting a Dell 1555, 1557, 1558 to Suspend in Linux

🖊️ ⌚ 🔖 Technology 💬 0

EDIT: The suspend/resume patch has been included in 2.6.33.4 However brightness control with a dell 1558 is still broken without patches. I have uploaded precompiled kernel packages for Arch linux here which solve the problem. You can find patches for other distros here.
