What does the word Umbraco Mean - content-management-system

What does the word Umbraco mean; the etymology. If it's a made up word, does anyone know the history behind it?
I know this may be slightly off-topic, can't find the right forum for it. Feel free to edit it into right location.


According to this page: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/about/what-does-umbraco-mean
"The name comes from the Danish word for an Allen (hex) key - the kind you get with Ikea flatpack"
It is actually a modification of the word "unbrako," "unbrakonøgle," (correction thanks to 5arx's comment below) which means "A hex key or Allen key or wrench is a tool of hexagonal cross-section used to drive bolts and screws that have a hexagonal socket in the head."
For a more detailed explanation, probably with more of the 'history' that you're looking for, you can check out Doug Robar's explanation from the 2010 Umbraco festival. Here is the link to the page with the video on it: http://2010.umbracoukfestival.co.uk/
He's the fourth one down.

Last line en RichEdit

I am a pensioner who has a small job, writing electronic guides - often on 10 - 20 pages, or more.
I use Delphi 2007 and RichEdit component - a choice made for several reasons.
The company I work for finds that their customers do not read the instructions correctly (the entire instructions), and thus the customer does not get the product assembled correctly and the product will therefore not work.
I hope you can help me.
I want an example of a feature in Delphi source code that notifies me - that now the last line of the guide line is visible at the bottom of the RichEdit text box. (That is, a function that notifies me that the last line of the text has been scrolled - whether I use the arrow keys or the scroll bar)
Thanks in advance.
And a heartfelt thank you to all those who make their skills available for the site.

PrestaShop: How to find the origin of any peace of code that we see in browser's code source view?

I am writting this post because I am sometimes confronted to this problem as a web developper. And I must admit I am a bit ashamed about it.
Some peaces of codes are quite easy to find into a CMS content. But some are much harder.
To illustrate my post I will give an example of a peace of code I really cannot find on a Prestashop website, see this photo:

So, I would like to find the origin of this script tag surrounded in red in the prestashop files...
First thing I tried was to search into the prestashop directory files for a string like => "script type="text/javascript src="http://tatouagetemporaire ..", I tested other strings but could not find a match.
My guess is that this peace of code is created from with a function (in php/JS or even smarty), and that is why I can't find any match in the whole code of the theme.
So, my question:
How can we find 100% of time the origin of any peace of code that we see in the browser's source code view ?
And if you have an answer for this specific case that would be very cool.
Thanks

You must turn off the CCC and cache from BackOffice to see the source codes

AppJS does not show Unicode characters

I have a situation where I want to open a website by clicking a desktop icon. I found AppJS to be the answer. I created an app with just a full window covering iframe. The only problem I am facing is, Unicode characters are not shown properly (all I see is boxes in place of text). I could not understand where should I look for. Please, give me some pointers. or maybe an alternative to fulfill the original purpose.
Thanks in advance

Getting HTML selection from document in a Word add-in

I'm creating a Office Word add-in that needs to fetch text and show it in the task pane. Since it would be preferred to show the text with the same formatting as in the host document, I'm using the getSelectedDataAsync() function and specifying Office.CoercionType.Html as coercion type. This works very well in Word online; but unfortunately not in Word 2013 and 2016 clients.
Looking at the documentation (http://dev.office.com/reference/add-ins/shared/document.getselecteddataasync), it says Office.CoercionType.Html is supported for Word but does not explicitly mention Word online. Judging from behaviour, it seems that the documentation is maybe faulty and should say the other way around.
But maybe I'm just missing something. Any ideas on why it's not working or how I can proceed to get it working? I would prefer to do minimal processing after getting the selection, which is why fetching it in HTML seemed to be the best solution. Fetching plain text does not even seem to take paragraphs into account which is a absolute minimum requirement of formatting.
The only really similar question I've found, Apps for Office 365 - Return selected text with styling and formatted, is related but does not answer my question.

This proved to be a problem not with Office.CoercionType.Html itself being unavailable, but rather it returning slightly different HTML in the Word clients and Word online. This made things break later in the code while applying some simple filters to the HTML which in turn made it look like the function did not return anything.
Like stated in the question the documentation is not completely obvious about the coercion type working in both Word clients and Word online, but I can hereby confirm that it does indeed work in both variants of Word.

Best examples of data visualisation?

I love data visualisation and to spread that love I thought we could share our favourite examples of data visualisation:
Chess moves http://turbulence.org/spotlight/thinking/chess.html
Chris Harrison's Visualisations http://www.chrisharrison.net/projects/visualization.html
I especially like the bible and Wikipedia visualisations.
If you're interested in creating your own visualisations a good place to start would be to check out processing.js (http://ejohn.org/blog/processingjs/).

Information Aesthetics's feed is on my home page and has been the source of many interesting visualizations since I've placed it there.

glTail.rb - real time log info, Linux only.

This is a recent favorite The Ebb and Flow of Movies: Box Office Receipts 1986 — 2008.
Blew my mind is college Napoleon's Invasion of Russia, 1812.
And always check out Tufte.

I always found Gource to be pretty interesting; check out some of the samples. Histories of git projects.

I find codeswarm really amazing. Check out the video of eclipse.

I just came across the JavaScript lib called Raphael, haven't tried it but the demos impressed me:

I'm surprised no one has suggested d3 yet. Check out the website, its awesome: http://mbostock.github.com/d3/

For a large collection of manually selected information visualizations, please see http://www.infovis.info -- some of the online collections that I drew from no longer exist!

I show or link some examples in my blog post here: http://mycarta.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/time-to-spice-up-your-visualization-skills/
There is also a terrific selection of examples on this thread in Quora:

A friend of mine did this and got it exposed at MOMA in NY

It represents the trafic in lisbon over time, it was done with processing and there is no map behind it, just the coordinates of cars with public gps moving around
