Update
Ok, so here’s where I’m at. I’m over Rails, done with it, caput. It’s got the greatest ideas, but the implementation is lacking. Many of the most common ideas are easy to implement elsewhere (Like PHP’s Adodb Active Record as one example). So my interests have floated back to PHP. I’m still a big JavaScript […]
MySQLsla
So, going way off topic here, I was worried about some slow SQL queries, and, logs being mighty useless, I looked for a slow-sql log analyzer. In steps mysqlsla. Woo hoo, plain, simple, and to the point. Found out some weird queries that I can’t even find with a simple grep are some of the […]
PHP and Ming
Ok, so I’m going to create a widget-type-thing for my website, Haunted House Nation so people can show that they are listed, shows whatever pic they are using, and some other info, with links to “View Map” etc….
I dno’t have Flash, nor any skills in it, so I’m going to try and use Ming to […]
Haunted House Nation
Haunted House Nation is growing like crazy now. Woo hoo! =) I plan on doing another one, veggiemap.org for Vegan/Vegetarian restaurants around the country to help people when they’re traveling. But it’ll be a few days before I can get it going all the way. I wanna make some changed to Haunted House Nation first(leave […]
Zend Toolbar for Firefox
Another great thing for Firefox, the Zend Studio Toolbar. Perhaps once of the most missed things from IE. But, since most of my PHP now is a backend for XUL, IE isn’t really possible. So, hell yeah!
Even better, it’s Official too.
I’ve already installed it, now I can start using all those great features from Zend […]
Social Networking
Ok, I’ve embarked on a new social networking program, in the background of all my other stuff. =( Something to keep me occupied when my brain dies while working on other things.
Haunted House List
While I’m watching Katrina rip into my vacation plans at way over 100mph winds, I made some progress on HauntedHouseNation.com. It’s not done yet, and it still only listing DFW Haunted Houses, but you can put in your zip and the map will reload with that zip.
I’m not going to make it AJAX(like Google […]
Software Integration and OSS
I’m a big believer in Software Integration, especially in OSS software. I’ve never understood why most OSS programmers haven’t gone to that logical next step to create software integration paths. For example, if I send an email to somebody through Thunderbird, I should be able to see if they are online or not via one […]
ADOdb Lite
ADOdb Lite has some Benchmarks Up. Looks like it has a speed advantage. I’m gonna have to check it out sometime. One of the ADOdb Guys
Successful Strategies for Commenting Your Code
This is a good post over on Slashdot.org. Successful Strategies for Commenting Your Code. Definately worth a look, as none of us are perfect with commenting and could use a refreshed on good practicies.
I just wanted to re-post it here because my home page doesn’t change as much as Slashdot’s.
Creating a Firefox Toolbar Tutorial
Ok, I’ve needed to do this for quite some time.
I’m gonna go through the Firefox Toolbar Tutorial and post my results and progress here. I’m telling you now, it won’t be something I release to the public, it will be for demonstration purposes only(well, only to the public, it’ll be of good internal use […]
ADOdb Lite, Parrot, and Browser Extensions
The author of ADOdb has made his comments on ADOdb Lite. I tend to agree, and 640kb is not very much these days. I say just plug in eAccelerator and you’re good to go. There’s so much shared memory between apache these days too, it really doesn’t matter. Although something like mod_perl for PHP would […]
Real Simple Google Sitemap Generator in PHP
I’ve written a real simple Google Sitemap generator in PHP. Let’s call it v0.1 or something, it doesn’t matter.
You can download it here.
Example Usage:
require_once(’sitemap_generator.php’);
$sitemap = new SitemapGenerator();
// Add homepage URL
$sitemap->addUrl(”http://www.josephguhlin.com/”, date(”Y-m-d”), “daily”, “1″);
echo $sitemap->generate();
Of course, you can do multiple addUrl() calls. You can also call $sitemap->count() to get the number of URLs for large sites(Google […]
XUL/Ajax Roundup
Check out this Firefox Extension for Tabs: Tabbrowser Extensions - outsider reflex (Hat tip to floating space) Looks great, but there is a tradeoff to consider. It’s not very compatible with other extensions. Even the Mozilla Foudnation says not to install it. The next version of Firefox will have a lot of new tabbing features. […]
