Here's a problem: I can't add a domain into Facebook Insights.
I've got a message:
Bad Request
Logged in user not authorized to view this domain.
Can't figure out what's happen.
Tag meta property="fb:admins" content="MY CODE" is already added to site, and I can see it in web page source code.
FFFFFUUUUUUUUU

Amazon Linux Update - Amazon Linux AMI 2012.03
Just updated Linux instance on Amazon AWS - new core
Was:
Linux ip-10-212-lol-123 3.2.20-1.29.6.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 12 01:19:28 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Now:
Linux ip-10-212-lol-123 3.2.22-35.60.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 5 14:07:24 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
How:
To upgrade to Amazon Linux AMI 2012.03 from 2011.09 or 2011.02, run yum update. When the transaction is complete, reboot your instance.
Fixing Facebook Like Button to make it valid and fast.
Okay, Facebook Like is important part of your site.
You can easily add code for showing it on your site, BUT!.. It's somehow erroneous and not optimized well.
So let me show you how to make it more valid and faster to load.
Original Facebook code that you can grab on their site: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
(I will use default setting but this is not important).
1. Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening tag.
Place the code for your plugin wherever you want the plugin to appear on your page.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
So what you need to change:
First - script should have type attribute.
Second - script should load asynchronously for faster page rendering.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
This part can be left unchanged.
<div class="fb-like" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>
You can easily add code for showing it on your site, BUT!.. It's somehow erroneous and not optimized well.

Offshore development vs nearshore development
Offshore development vs nearshore development - pros and cons.
What's the difference between offshore and nearshore development?
With offshore development your developers are located somewhere far away from you. This makes them less manageable, but with current advanced reporting tools and internet you can control them like they are in next room.
This can help you save money, find skills that not available locally, and extend your team worldwide.

Screenshot Sharing
Good day.
One of the very common tasks in development process is communication. While you can easily mail someone or even call with Skype, visual representation is priceless.
Bugs, cross-browser testing, any other information that have visual representation must be seen as is, not just described.
You can share your desktop with teamviewer or something similar, but it's not useful when you need to take a look at your application error message after some time or something like that.
So we come back to - - - SCREENSHOTS!
Screenshot sharing is very important part of communication in development process. So faster screenshot sharing can save your time.
I prefer to use some tool named Grabilla to share my screenshots.
It can instantly grab a part of screen, upload it its server and provide you with link to this picture. And all this with single click!
There's a lot of other applications like this, but for my screenshot sharing I use Grabilla.
It has other useful features like dropping an image on shortcut to upload it to server, capturing active application window, etc.
And most valuable part to me is that no registration or configuration required. You can share screenshots in a minute, right out of box. Launch it, select area - get a link to send to someone. No FTP, no accounts, no glitches.
Other important option is ability to record screencast - video capture of your screen. You can record entire desktop or just part of it and make a voice comments to things that happens. This can be very useful when you want to show how to reproduce an error when testing application, or to show your application's features to someone.
Really, Grabilla saves me a lot of time, so I want to show my appreciation to these guys and write this review.
