google-code-prettify: a tool for prettify code in your site

Example: Python

def fib():
  '''
  a generator that produces the elements of the fibonacci series
  '''

  a = 1
  b = 1
  while True:
    a, b = a + b, a
    yield a

def nth(series, n):
  '''
  returns the nth element of a series,
  consuming the earlier elements of the series
  '''

  for x in series:
    n = n - 1
    if n <= 0: return x  print nth(fib(), 10)

How to Google-Code-Prettify in Blogger:

1. Edit HTML template code, an add this two lines to head tag:

<link href="prettify.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="prettify.js"></script>

2. Add on the body tag onload="prettyPrint()", in case you have onload event used, add it in this way onalod="your actual code; prettyPrint()".
This is all!!

How to use it:

Put code snippets in <pre class="prettyprint">...</pre> or
<code class="prettyprint">...</code> and it will automatically be pretty printed.

Google is creating an Encyclopedia...

Google yesterday announce a new service called Knol. It's a kind of Wikipedia powered by Google and written by experts. In the Google Official blog

.... we started inviting a selected group of people to try a new, free tool that we are calling "knol", which stands for a unit of knowledge. Our goal is to encourage people who know a particular subject to write an authoritative article about it. The tool is still in development and this is just the first phase of testing. For now, using it is by invitation only. But we wanted to share with everyone the basic premises and goals behind this project.

The key idea behind the knol project is to highlight authors. Books have authors' names right on the cover, news articles have bylines, scientific articles always have authors -- but somehow the web evolved without a strong standard to keep authors names highlighted. We believe that knowing who wrote what will significantly help users make better use of web content. At the heart, a knol is just a web page; we use the word "knol" as the name of the project and as an instance of an article interchangeably. It is well-organized, nicely presented, and has a distinct look and feel, but it is still just a web page. Google will provide easy-to-use tools for writing, editing, and so on, and it will provide free hosting of the content. Writers only need to write; we'll do the rest.

Google is innovating everyday and I believe that one day MULTIVAC return! Asmiov was a really genius!
