Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

##git rebase

is actually pretty neat and easy and now i wonder why on earth i have been rebasephobia!

If you were like me (lol), this might change your mind, you will love it absolutely!

git rebase staging/master

//rebase against the branch you normally would commit to

git rebase -- interactive $parent_of_flawed_commit

An editor will come up, with a list of all commits since the one you gave. Change the commit anyway you like now:

git commit --amend
git rebase --continue

git rebase --interactive lets you correct commits no matter how long ago they were.

git commit --amend -m "your new message"

Two branches diverged in a project on Git,
And sorry I could not push to both
And be one designer, long I sit
And analyzed one as best as I could
Through the tangled CSS undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because the styling was basic and bare;
Though having been cloned the developer there
Had built them really about the same,

out in the hall the lights blink
as i try to think what the spec said again
it’s been too long since i felt warm and steady
since i felt i was ready to complete this task

no sweet lament to this sad omission
this terminal condition of uncertainty
be i hooked into circuitous solutions
or ugly convolutions from forum posts
