Can't wait to try it out, Twinkle looks awesome.

Way to go for the complete copy&paste PR response. – Ash Laws, on July 06, 2008 08:13

Hi Michiel,

I have not seen any of today's tweets showing up on my Tweetburner page: http://tweetburner.com/claynewton

Summize says I've sent 9 http://summize.com/search?q=&ands=twu...

the new version of Twhirl is far superior to its predecessor! Woo Hoo!

We love to hear that! Twhirl will continue to iterate with improvements to the user experience!

Clay,
This can be really annoying... there are also problems with 1.0 wikis above a certain size (at least with internet explorer) not displaying the red underline...

You can use a tool like this:

to create lists of broken links, even if they aren't called out visually on your wiki.

Hey there, just wondering if there has been any progress on this front. It's kinda driving me and the rest of the people on our wiki crazy...

If you hit any roadblocks on this, our support ninjas (yes, real ninjas) can give a hand at support@omnigroup dot com... I'm still an "intermediate" OmniGraffle user ;)

Oh snap! That's even better. Thanks for the update!

Some discussion of this over at
http://getsatisfaction.com/omnigroup/...

Clay, the word on the street here at Omni is that we no longer blow away the .svn folder so should be able to also save OmniGraffle 5 packages into version control.

That's super helpful. Thanks!

The great this is that when flat they can be checked into source management.

When saving images in a flat file, the images are written into the XML of the file as base-64 encoded text. This ends up expanding the size of those images by about 4/3. That encoding on save and decoding on load also adds a small additional step. So in a document with lots of images, a flat file will be both larger and slightly slower to save/load.

Hope this helps!

Installing OS from disk Image file Using Mac OS X Disk Utility

If Mac is unable to read the CD, you may try to install from an
image of the CD.

To create the image, please follow these steps:

Step 1-- Insert the Windows OS installation disc into the CD/DVD-ROM drive of
your computer.

Step 2-- Start the Disk Utility (Applications\Utilities\Disk Utility).

Step 3-- Select the second CD Icon on the Disk Utility device list (This should be
approximately 550MB+)

Step 4-- Click on the "New Image" button on the top of the Disk Utility window.

Hi Clay,

I'm checking into that now. I believe the link should get a red-dashed underline to identify it as a page that has not been created yet.

I see that this works in our older wikis, but currently is not displaying in the new 2.0 wikis.

I'm sorry for any headaches and I'll get back to you with an answer.
