Lol, OV Chipkaart aparaten hebben ook bugs natuurlijk :-)

Has your iPhone status bar vanished? Or does it seem to vanish when you close an app? Have you been fiddling about with Winterboard?

 

Chances are you’ve got the Winterboard “SolidStatusBar” option switched on. This was driving me crazy but I finally discovered it. Not at the top of my Winterboard configurations list of course so I didn’t notice it was on at first. Eventually I scrolled right down to the bottom and there it was with an annoying little tick next to it ;-)

First I wasn’t sure how to install TiddlyWiki plugins. Then I figured that one out. Now I was a bit confused on how I was supposed to install a TiddlyWiki Adaptor (I always thought Adaptor was spelt with an ‘e’ but I guess not J)

I wanted to import plain text files as tiddlers, so was looking for a plugin to do this when I came across this page about importing on tiddlywiki.org. It mentions that “By default, content can only be imported from other TiddlyWiki documents [but] Adaptors can be used to extend that functionality to arbitrary sources”. The Adaptors page it links to simply contains a list of links to Javascript files, so I wasn’t really sure what to do with them a first.

However, after downloading one of these Javascript files, the RawTextAdaptor.js, using right-click à Save Target As, and opening it in a text editor I saw there was a source URL (http://devpad.tiddlyspot.com/#RawTextAdaptor).

I realized that RawTextAdapter was itself a tiddler on a TiddlyWiki compatible page (tiddlyspot.com is a free TiddlyWiki host) so that was good news. Why? Because you can import TiddlyWiki tiddlers from other web pages directly into your own TiddlyWiki as explained by Ken Girard, who helpfully commented on my previous post with this information. He told me to:

-       go to the top right corner of your TiddlyWiki and click on ‘backstage'

-       then choose 'import'

-       enter the url of the site you want to import, so in my case that was http://devpad.tiddlyspot.com/#RawTextAdaptor

-       check the boxes of tiddlers you want to import, so in my case that was RawTextAdaptor (it actually shows you all the tiddlers available on the devpad.tiddlyspot.com)

-       down at the bottom tick the box that says "Keep these tiddlers linked to this server so that you can synchronise subsequent changes" so that you can use the built-in sync function to get any later updates (‘sync’ is also in the background section).

So that’s what I did and it imported the RawTextAdaptor for me.

The conclusion is that an Adaptor is simply a tiddler. I was just thrown by the links that linked directly to the Javascript files. So even without using the import function as described above, I could have added the Adaptor to my Tiddlywiki simply by creating a new tiddler in my TiddlyWiki, and copying the contents of the Javascript file into the new tiddler, giving it any name I wanted and saving it.

However, the advantage of using the import function is the import option that lets you "Keep these tiddlers linked to this server so that you can synchronise subsequent changes". This means if the author updates the Adaptor you can easily update it without going looking for it again.

Adios,

Josh

A couple of essentials I just read in the Posterous.com FAQ.

TIP 1

To tag your posts place tags in the subject field in the following format:

((tag: apple, gadgets))

 

TIP 2

To ensure your corporate (or any other) email signature gets ignored place the line of text below (in red) at the end of your post (but without the spaces between the characters which I had to put there... or it would have been cut off!)
