a problem with jQuery plugin “scrollTo”
Mar 18th
Please note: with the video below, you may want to play/pause throughout in order to read my notes (and to understand what the hell I’m talking about).
using jQuery plugin “scrollTo” locks a UIWebview position from chadedge on Vimeo.
I’m working with the jQuery plugin “scrollTo” and I’ve come across a problem:
When I fire the $.scrollTo('.a_class_item',{duration:'800',axis:'y'}); the Web page I’m viewing on the iPhone does scroll correctly (very nice!).
However, once that first position has been scrolled to, control of the Web page is toast – meaning, if I try and touch-drag anywhere else, when I release my finger the Web page “snaps” back to the first scrolled postion.
I cannot duplicate this in any browser (in a desktop browser, the behavior is as expected, again, very nice interaction).
If I default back to a window.scrollTo(x,y);, then the Web page retains control and the UI responds correctly – it seems that the scrollTo plugin is “locking” the page position.
Any ideas on how to “release” that lock so I can scroll, resize, (even scroll to a different area on the page)?

Wanted: Personal Puppetmaster
I need assistance with my life. Obviously the choices I’ve made over the years have not had positive results.
Yes, I’m married, but things could be better. Yes I have a fantastic job, but my work/life balance is non-existent.
Are you in your mid-thirties? Have you had success with you romance, employment, finances – enough so that you feel comfortable guiding me through my headaches?
Come join me as a personal puppetmaster; make my decisions for me, in love, finances, employment, time, hobbies.
Coordinate with my darling wife as to what’s best for me, using your experience as a base.
Salary to be discussed based on my ability to put my life in your hands, and how responsible you perform.
This is an ongoing project, hopefully self-terminating (meaning: I’d love to get to a point where I can manage my life on my own, without your help).
Going broke with books
Jan 17th
I’ve been working on some iPhone applications as a licensed iPhone developer.
Doing so has really made my brain hurt as I’m not too familiar with Obj-C or CocoaTouch.
It’s been a fun ride, and learning in the method I usually do I’ve purchased books to help me along.
Thankfully I’m a member of both Barnes and Noble and Borders, so the discounts on these books was substantial. That and I bought a couple over the holidays at a really steep discount from Amazon and SitePoint.
searchy: update

Just a quick update: searchy: is 90% done!
I just need to add the delete and detail actions for the history, and then (possibly) add searching across multiple websites at the same time.
Game on!
