tumblr

I’m using tumblr to blog and noting things I find. I’ve used it for a few months now and finding it much easier and quicker as well as saving me from having to update wordpress.

Now I need to get my finger out and integrate tumblr into this site. My tumblr is at wonkenstein.tumblr.com if anyone’s interested.

You seen me dancing? You know, really Dancing?!

Whilst surfing about tonight, I came across Bokko Dancing from Korea. Techno music, flailing arms and slidey feet. Brilliant!

You don’t have to do it by yourself

I like pie

I like pie and for parsing rss feeds simplepie, is particularly yummy.

Last week, I had to incorporate a newsfeed into a client site and had to think about things such as caching and parsing. Also the site is built upon CodeIgniter, an open source PHP MVC framework, and is a new project we’ve recently taken over the maintenance for.

With only a teeny bit of experience to CodeIgniter and parsing pesky rss feeds, I was a bit apprehensive about this. But it turned out to be a lot easier than expected.

After a bit of reading, poking about and keyboard hammering. It was done. It didn’t take as long as I thought and was surprised by how easy it was to plug some code into the framework. Simplepie took care of all the rss feed parsing and caching and adding it to CodeIgniter was extremely easy.

Hurrah for MVC, re-usable code and Open source projects with good documentation!

Bruises and Jizz

A song that make me smile and another that makes me ROFL

Get a list of possible values for a formfield

So I don’t forget, cck::content.module

/**
* Return a list of all fields.
*
* @param $field_name
* If set, return information on just this field.
* @param $content_type_name
* If set, return information of the field within the context of this content
* type.
*/
function content_fields($field_name = NULL, $content_type_name = NULL) {
}
