editor Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 The feature formerly known as HAIF_crack is now known as HAIF:Now. Why the change? Since most people use it at work, calling it HAIF:Now will make it more palatable to unenlightened bosses who might wander by.Other improvements:More mobile-device friendly, especially for iPhones and other multi-tap devices.The OMGWTFBBQ button has been replaced by a "boss" button that you can click if you think someone's looking over your shoulder.There's a button for it near the top of each HAIF page.Lately I've found HAIF:Now to be one of the best ways to keep up with HAIF. It's like "View New Posts" in nearly real-time. It's a great little window to have open on your desktop while you're doing other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark F. Barnes Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hey Wayne could you switch me back to normal mode so I can see some of those cool things you talk about. I'm still switched over to "clean" skin. By the way, that thing we were dealing with is good now, gone done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelguy_73 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 So, for those of us who are less technically-sophistacted when it comes to corporate internet usage: Does anyone know if using HAIFnow (i.e., a webpage that constantly refreshes) will impact reported internet usage? I tend to have Gmail open all day, and it constantly refreshes as well. Does each refresh look like I'm just surfing the web all day at work?

When you click on it, you're taken to the front page of Google News. LOL, well for me, either one would be a case to get disciplined, internet use that is not work related is a big no-no during work hours. So HAIF or Google news, for me at least, is the same thing. So, for those of us who are less technically-sophistacted when it comes to corporate internet usage: Does anyone know if using HAIFnow (i.e., a webpage that constantly refreshes) will impact reported internet usage? I tend to have Gmail open all day, and it constantly refreshes as well. Does each refresh look like I'm just surfing the web all day at work? Well, it is useless, because the beauty of HAIF-ing to to read the entire thread, and post. HAIF:Now is only good to see the latest topics and who posted them, nothing more. *sigh*, well my lunch break is winding down, I may sneak on for a sec or two later today, but until then, farewell!

I tend to have Gmail open all day, and it constantly refreshes as well. Does each refresh look like I'm just surfing the web all day at work?It shouldn't impact reported internet use much at all. Remember, it was designed to be light for people with dialup and cellular connections.The entire payload for a HAIF:Now page, including graphics is around 48k -- about the size of an e-mail.To compare:HAIF:Now - 48kMicrosoft: 264kGoogle News - 292kYahoo! - 456kCNN - 812kEach HAIF:Now refresh looks like you clicked on a new link to a new web page.

TheNiche Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 There is a link at the top of the page that reads "Here comes the boss!" When you click on it, you're taken to the front page of Google News.Since I'd have to scroll up and click on "Here comes the boss!" if the boss were to come, it'd increase the odds that he'd get a glance at the phrase "Here comes the boss!" that I'd be clicking on. How about something less overt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about something less overt?I've replaced the text with something a little more innocuous.I've linked the link to something a little more work-related.I've put a boss link at the bottom of the page, too.Where does one change their skin settings so that these features are more apparent if not available at all.There are only two public skins on HAIF. Regular and ad-free. Both have the HAIF:Now link near the top of the page next to the links for radioHAIF, HAIF-TV, Blogs, Gallery, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I've updated HAIF:Now a little bit. The link to the mobile (diet) version of threads works more reliably now. And there's now an option to open new threads in new windows (good for iPhone/iTouch users). I've also tried to make the display a little more mobile friendly.
