Producers of digital goods have a few problems. The first is finding good clients (preferably not these clients) and the second is building a popular portfolio of work. But without the former, you can’t create the latter and vice versa. That’s where fol.io comes in.

A Manhattan-based company, fol.io aims to make it easier to sell digital assets. Founded by Cillian Kieran and Simon Keane, the site is designed to make it easier for web creators to grab handsome, usable graphics for their projects. Rather than futzing with Photoshop all day, they can grab a “share this” button for a dollar or a funny little graphic for $3.

The site accepts low- and hi-res images and Photoshop files including PSDs, AIs, and TIFFs. They take 30% of the transaction.

The company launched a few months ago and is now meting out beta invites to designers and buyers. They also have a desktop widget that allows buyers to do quick searches inside the database to find, say, pictures of penguins or “Tweet this!” buttons.

It’s not a one-stop branding solution – yet – but it’s a cool and quick way to grab graphical items for projects. You can sign up for the beta (and see if they let you in) or just ogle the website for a few minutes between visits to Reddit.

scala - 'wrong top statement declaration' when using slick in IntelliJ -

Image
i'm porting project scala 2.9 2.10, therefore have use slick instead of scalaquery. i'm using slick 2.1.0 since supports ms access. according this tutorial , upgrade guide changed robs object class , added val robs : why error message wrong top statement declaration , how rid of it? edit: i'm new scala... according this question seems can't put val outside of methods or classes, right? code above directly in packge. right approach slick then? should move code in class or trait? according this changed val robs = tablequery[robs] to object robs extends tablequery(new robs(_)) {} . no warnings or errors anymore. :)

C# - WPF - ColumnGroups Footer? (telerik) -

can tell me whether it's possible set footer each columngroups of radgridview in wpf using code behind ? i able on normal gridviewdatacolumn setting footer attribute true how columngroups? possible? no, don't think possible. telerik documentation has no such feature. you can set xaml code behind normal columns, not column groups... by default though column footers hidden, in order make them visible have set showcolumnfooters property true, per example: <telerikgrid:radgridview x:name="radgridview" showcolumnfooters="true"> ... </telerik:grid:radgridview>
