Tulsa E-Ticket Program Easier on Police, Harder On Courts

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:29:38 -0400

Tulsa E-Ticket Program Easier on Police, Harder On Courts:

the E-tickets for now are incompatible with the paper based court records.”Because we don’t have a system to electronically transmit those, they are getting printed off, they are getting hand cut down to size, scanned, just like the paper tickets and going through the same process and that too has created a bottleneck,” said Jim Twombly, Director of Administration.

This is what can happen when you optimize one part of a workflow in isolation.

You need to understand enough, or work with those that do, to see when time is being shifted (or worse, multipied) instead of saved.

Lotus Notes: So....done, then?
Me: Die in a fire.

Manually modify the NOTES.INI

How does this product continue to be so widely used?

BBC - Future Media Standards & Guidelines - Semantic Mark-up v1.6:

Nice resource for introducing semantic markup in a practical fashion, although some of their RFC 2119 keywords seem to contradict each other.

Designing with Web Standards - Links from Part One:

I put together a list of most of the links in Part I of Designing with Web Standards (Third Edition) for a group reading I’m facilitating, so I thought I might as well set it up as a page of its own, in case anyone finds it useful.

Regex Syntax Highlighter

Fri, 09 Jul 2010 16:36:51 -0400

Regex Syntax Highlighter:

I’ve extracted the regex syntax highlighting engine built into RegexPal and made it into its own library, unimaginatively named JavaScript Regex Syntax Highlighter. When combined with the provided CSS, this 1.6 KB self-contained JavaScript file can be used, for instance, to automatically apply regex syntax highlighting to any HTML element with the “regex” class. You can see an example of doing just that on my quick and dirty test page.
