Using Delicious Using Delicious From the del.icious website: What is del.icio.us? del.icio.us is a collection of favorites - yours and everyone else's. You can use del.icio.us to: Keep links to your favorite articles, blogs, music, reviews, recipes, and more, and access them from any computer on the web. Share favorites with friends, family, coworkers, and the del.icio.us community. Discover new things. Everything on del.icio.us is someone's favorite -- they've already done the work of finding it. So del.icio.us is full of bookmarks about technology, entertainment, useful information, and more. Explore and enjoy. del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website -- the primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too. On del.icio.us, you can use tags to organize and remember your bookmarks, which is a much more flexible system than folders. You can also use del.icio.us to see the interesting links that your friends and other people bookmark, and share links with them in return. You can even browse and search del.icio.us to discover the cool and useful bookmarks that everyone else has saved -- which is made easy with tags. What is social bookmarking? del.icio.us is a social bookmarking website, which means it is designed to allow you to store and share bookmarks on the web, instead of inside your browser. This has several advantages. First, you can get to your bookmarks from anywhere, no matter whether you're at home, at work, in a library, or on a friend's computer. Second, you can share your bookmarks publicly, so your friends, coworkers, and other people can view them for reference, amusement, collaboration, or anything else. (Note that you can also mark bookmarks on del.icio.us as private -- only viewable by you -- if you like.) Third, you can find other people on del.icio.us who have interesting bookmarks and add their links to your own collection. Everyone on del.icio.us chooses to save their bookmarks for a reason. You have access to the links that everyone wants to remember. You can see whether two people have chosen to remember a link, or whether it was useful enough for a thousand people to remember -- which may help you find things that are useful for you, too. What are tags? Tags are one-word descriptors that you can assign to your bookmarks on del.icio.us. They're a little bit like keywords but non-hierarchical. You can assign as many tags to a bookmark as you like and easily rename or delete them later. Tagging can be a lot easier and more flexible than fitting your information into preconceived categories or folders. To get started: Using Mozilla Firefox, go to the internet. Type in this url: http://del.icio.us/ On the right side of the screen, click “register.” Type in the required information and click “register” again. Once you have registered, it will guide you through “installing buttons.” Here is some more information about creating bookmarks: A guide to saving bookmarks Add bookmarks The buttons you installed during the registration process are the main way to add new items to del.icio.us. (If you need to install the buttons again for any reason, such as if you're using a different computer, you can go back to step 2 of that process.) When you're visiting a page that you'd like to save to del.icio.us, click the button at the top of your browser labeled TAG or post to del.icio.us (this depends on which kind of button you installed - you probably only installed one of these). Then, fill out the information in the posting interface and save it -- and you've just saved an item to del.icio.us! To see your saved bookmarks, click the button with the del.icio.us logo or labeled my del.icio.us. Note: del.icio.us supports buttons for several browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Flock. If you use Camino or Netscape, you can probably use the Firefox buttons. Other browsers, such as the ones supplied by AOL, MSN, and SBC, may be able to use del.icio.us with the posting page (which also works with lynx). There are many unofficial posting extensions for all the popular browsers and for smaller ones like Maxthon and Konqueror; we have a few of these listed on our third party tools page. We also have a few different bookmarklet buttons available. The posting interface looks like the following screenshot if you're using the Internet Explorer buttons or Firefox extension. If you're using the bookmarklet buttons or posting page, you'll also see a group of your tags under the save button. The url is the web address of the bookmark that you're saving. This usually starts with http://, and is necessary to save anything in del.icio.us. The description is the name of the bookmark that you are saving. It is automatically set to the title of the page, if available. You can change this to something more appropriate if you'd like. Notes are a way to include extended text of what the bookmark is about. This can be text copied from the document, your thoughts, opinions, or anything that you want to include along with the bookmark. It's limited to 255 characters right now. Tags are words that you assign to the bookmark to help you (and other people) find it later. Learn more about tags. If you'd like to bookmark something for practice, you can save this page. You can also try going to another website (such as Yahoo! or Flickr) and saving that one. Import bookmarks If you have bookmarks in your browser that you'd like to upload to del.icio.us, you can use import/upload in your settings to add them to your account. You can upload as many bookmarks files as you like, one at a time. This can be convenient for consolidating bookmarks from multiple computers. Edit and delete bookmarks After saving an item, you can edit its description, notes, and tags by going to your bookmarks and visiting the "edit" link next to that bookmark's description. Similarly, if you'd like to delete a item, visit the "delete" link next to its description. If the inline editing interface doesn't appear to work (for any reason), you may be able to use the link to full screen edit to successfully edit your bookmark instead. Private and public bookmarks Bookmarks saved with your buttons are public by default, but imported bookmarks are private by default. If you see "not shared" next to a bookmark, that means it is a private bookmark and only you can see it. Note: if you're logged out, you won't be able to see your private bookmarks either. To change a private bookmark to public (so that everyone else can see it), click the "share" link next to it. To change a public bookmark to private, first enable private saving in your settings. Then edit your bookmark, check the do not share box, and save it. While saving a new bookmark, you can also check the do not share box to make that bookmark private. How do I add “buttons” to another computer? To add del.icio.us to your Mozilla navigation toolbar, go to this url http://del.icio.us/help/firefox/extensionnew and click “Get 1.5 Now.” Need more help, go to http://del.icio.us/help/ All information contained in these instructions came from http://del.icio.us .

Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

  • Keys to the Cloud: Formal Analysis and Concrete Attacks on Encrypted Web Storage
    Keys to the Cloud: Formal Analysis and Concrete Attacks on Encrypted Web Storage Chetan Bansal1, Karthikeyan Bhargavan2, Antoine Delignat-Lavaud2, and Sergio Maffeis3, 1 BITS Pilani-Goa 2 INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt 3 Imperial College London Abstract. To protect sensitive user data against server-side attacks, a number of security-conscious web applications have turned to client-side encryption, where only encrypted user data is ever stored in the cloud. We formally investigate the security of a number of such applications, in- cluding password managers, cloud storage providers, an e-voting website and a conference management system. We find that their security relies on both their use of cryptography and the way it combines with com- mon web security mechanisms as implemented in the browser. We model these applications using the WebSpi web security library for ProVerif, we discuss novel attacks found by automated formal analysis, and we propose robust countermeasures. Keywords: Web Security, Formal Methods, Protocol Verification. 1 Application-Level Cryptography on the Web Many web users routinely store sensitive data online, such as bank accounts, health records and private correspondence. Servers that store such data are a tempting target for cybercrime: a single attack can yield valuable data, such as credit card numbers, for millions of users. As websites move to using cloud- based data storage, the confidentiality of user data and the trustworthiness of the hosting servers has come further into question. Transport layer security (TLS) as provided by HTTPS [21] does not fully address these concerns. TLS protects sensitive data over the wire as it travels between a browser and a website.

  • Minnesota River Weekly Update April 15, 2009
    Minnesota River Weekly Update April 15, 2009 Not Your Typical Online Auction NICOLLET — Some may think farming and the Internet are two opposite ends of the technological spectrum, but Joe and Liza Domeier are proving they work well together. And profitably at that. They run Pehling Bay Farm near Nicollet. Joe’s mother grew up on the 30-acre property established by her grandfather. Liza was raised on a hog farm near St. Clair. The couple sells pasture-fed livestock and poultry, as well as fiber from their sheep flock. They are building a healthy business utilizing the Internet and direct marketing to draw buyers who are willing to pay premium prices for local grown products. The small acreage would pay like a part-time job if they attempted traditional row crop farming. So a different approach was chosen: raising pasture fed animals to sell to very select markets. Their sheep, hogs, chickens and beef are all pasture-fed, which may mean slower growth. However, Joe said it makes for healthier and more flavorful meats. They don’t sell meat or fiber retail or wholesale, only directly to customers. Direct marketing allows more money to be generated from the land. Their web site, www.pehlingbayfarm.com, advertises their meat and is a place where they can take product orders. In fact, most of their sales come via online sources. ―Direct marketing without the Internet is like not having a phone,‖ Joe said, ―And you reach a much larger audience.‖ Joe says he is able to get about twice the market price for lambs as he would at a sale barn.

There is a wide range of tools for checking accessibility. We recommend the plugin Wave, due to its usability and the clear presentation of results. ― Wave: WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (webaim.org) (Plugin for Firefox and Chrome) ― W3c-Checker: The W3C Markup Validation Service ― Siteimprove: Accessibility-tool oriented to fit W3C-guidelines (siteimprove.com) ― AXE:https://www.deque.com/axe/ axe: Accessibility Testing Tools and Software (deque.com) There are 4 criteria to check on the website: 1. Perceivable ― Do all non-text content such as images, graphics and other objects have a meaningful and equivalent text alternative? Test with Wace or with "Images Bookmarklet" (https://pauljadam.com/bookmarklets/images.html drag the bookmarklet from the website to your bookmark toolbar and click on it to see whether alternative texts are available and how they are labelled) ― Do all videos have subtitles (or a text transcript)? ― Does the heading structure reflect the logic of the page? ― Test with “Wave” and/or “h123” Bookmarklet (https://hinderlingvolkart.github.io/h123/, drag the bookmarklet from the website to your bookmark toolbar and click on it to get an overview of the heading structure of the website) ― Do all contrasts meet WCAG 2.1 AA criteria (Test with “Wave” or other tools)? 2. Operable ― Can the page be operated with a keyboard? Can all elements be accessed and operated with the keyboard? Are there any keyboard traps (keyboard user cannot move focus away from an interactive element, occur in input boxes, drop-down menus, or even on hyperlinks)?
