Blog Post Expand Contract Inline JS script.
2008-05-27 20:21:00 You've probably seen the functionality around at certain blogs where you can click on a link at the end of the post that lets you expand the blog entry to show more content. I like that functionality and dasBlog (my blog software) didn't have it so I wrote my own. With dasBlog you can have a description for the displayed text on the main blog page and then you can click through to the full blog post, but I wanted the ability to expand and contract dynamically right on the front page. Here is how I did it. Feel free to take and use and modify whatever you want. It's offered as is and public domain and yadda yadda. First, here are the elements you need to put on your page around the content you want hidden/expanded: <div class="trHiderControl"> <span onclick="trReveal(this);" - trhidertoggle="false" trID="trRevealer" class="trHiderTopClick">reve-al</span> <div class="trHiderContent" trID="trHiderContent"> <!--content he...

DON'T FREAK OUT!
2008-04-25 01:28:00 Yes. The rivet has undergone a redesign. This has been mandated by our corporate headquarters in Stockholm. They are in merger negotiations with a major media company and seeing as techRivet.com is the jewel in their crown of websites, they felt it only prudent that we undergo a refresh, as it were. The direct management team of the website is not undergoing any change so rest assured the high quality content will remain unabated regardless of the outcome of the two media giants merging. That is all for now.

InstallPad - Get all your programs installed at once.
2007-11-29 22:33:00 This is a great little utility that allows you to set up your machine at the click of a button. Get all your favorite apps downloaded and installed in one fell swoop. InstallPad Great for when you are going to be setting up a new machine. No longer do you have to go out and find each one separately and download them one by one. Set it up ahead of time place the applist.xml file somewhere that you can get it and voila, you're ready to role. That would be my start up list of apps. WinAmp CDex Notepad ++ Windows Live Writer Sharpreader XP Pro IIS Admin VLC Audacity Super iZarc Gadwin Printscreen Explorer XP This of course does not include the large applications that require CD's for installation such as: MS Office, MS Visual Studio, Paint Shop Pro, Photo Album etc. This will also be the way I post techRivet's Free Media Pack 2008. With an InstallPad applist.xml file and link to InstallPad itself. Brilliant. Related l...

Of Blogrolls and Bloggers.
2007-11-19 23:46:00 So. I like blogrolls. I think they play an important role in the "atmosphere" a blog projects. Maybe I'm alone in this but when I go to a blog that doesn't have a blogroll I form an opinion of the blogger. He starts a notch down for me. Now the reason a lot of people advocate against including a blogroll has to do with SEO placement and Google branding your site as a link farm. This seems a rather sad state of affairs, designing a site on a third party's arbitrary requirements. Google apparently dings you once your page has more than 120 links on it...holy schmolies by some methods of determining my homepage has over 500 links on it. That is if you take into account all the "digg" and "stumble upon" links for each entry. Trimming my blogroll isn't going to have much affect on that result. If you feel the need to try and stay under that arbitrary link count of 120 then by all means do what you need and that may result in a bette...

Walker, Rivet and Horton off the market, Emery to have surgery...
2007-06-21 18:46:00 The Florida Panthers have re-signed restricted free-agent forward Nathan Horton.The deal will pay out a total of $24 million to the 22-year old over 6 seasons.The signing, per TSN, officially ends all speculation that Horton will be dealt at tomorrow's NHL Entry Draft in Columbus.Horton had a spectacular season at such a young age, ammasing 31 goals and putting up 31 assists while appearing in all 82 games.A star on the rise, Horton's season was awesome on the scoresheet, but some off-ice rumours a few months before the deadline, which consisted of Horton's unhappiness in the Sunshine State and his desire to be dealt to a contender, prompted speculation he would be dealt at the trade deadline (didn't happen) or at the draft.-Craig Rivet really like the weather in Western California, and he's going to be there for another 4 seasons.The Sharks officially signed their hard-hitting defenceman to a 4-year $14 million contract, a potential UFA, Rivet fit in well with the Sharks and b...
Sharks sign Rivet long term
2007-06-21 02:35:00 It is being reported from a french newspaper (RDS) that the Sharks have signed Craig Rivet to a 4-year 14 million deal. Rivet is a decent offensive forward, but the Sharks still need someone better than Rivet on the point.
techRivet's Meta-list of Freeware lists of Freeware Applications!
2007-06-12 20:13:00 So everyone else already has a "Best Free Software" list out there and we here at the grand headquarters of techRivet really can't add much new info. techRivet has a post dedicated to a free media pack: techRivet's Free Media Pack 2007, which is cool but for the full list of all the free stuff out there we'll defer to others who have already done the legwork. What we CAN provide is a meta-list of those sites for you, our devoted reader, to more easily find what you are looking for. So without further ado, here is techRivet's Meta-list of Freeware lists of Freeware Applications! The 46 Best-ever Freeware Utilities I might call this the definitive list. But with the way things change?... more sites to choose from the better. He certainly provides the most background information and reviews of the software. It's an even handed take on products. For example the review of "Best Free Digital Editor" qualifies the recommendation d...

Presenting: Louis Vuitton 'Riveting'
2007-03-27 05:21:00 Today's featurette is the Riveting Bag from 'Show Spring 2007's 'Riveting' CollectionBefore its release, it was first seen in Louis Vuitton's Ad Campaign in January, featuring Scarlett Johansson. Riveting Bag - $2,200 Euros I suppose Louis Vuitton's embracing 'studded rivets' more punkish look and assimilating it into the brand's classic style. The reason for my saying this is due to the fact that quite a number of the bags from Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2007 Collection have a similar studded look with the quilted topstitched squares embellished with rivets and the logo plaque. If you are an LV fan, or if you have been following this blog regularly, you would know that the 'Rivets Pochette', a new addition to LV's signature Monogram Canvas line sports this same look.

Tidbits: Maple Leafs, Schneider, Rivet, Coyotes, Ducks, and big-name UFAs
2007-02-17 12:16:01 According to Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail the Toronto Maple Leafs have inquired about the availability of St. Louis Blues forward Bill Guerin. According to John Dellapina of the New York Daily News the New York Rangers have switched their focus from acquiring a center to picking up a defenseman. Word out of Detroit is that Red Wings defenseman Mathieu Schneider is available. It’s said that the Rangers wouldn’t mind bringing back their former blueliner before the February 27 trade deadline. However, George Malik of mLive.com believes that the Red Wings “need all the puck-movers they can get” so it’s highly unlikely they will move Schneider. Jim Matheson of The Edmonton Journal reports that the Montreal Canadiens are shopping defenseman Craig Rivet. Phoenix Coyotes GM Mike Barnett tells Matt Paulson of the East Valley Tribune that he does not expect to make as many trades before this year’s trade deadline as he did last year. Barnett ...
