Tarzan 1.0 Is Now Available!

by Ryan Parman • January 31, 2005 • Code, Projects, Technology • No comments

Tarzan 1.0 is now available! There were only a couple of minor bug fixes since RC2, so existing installations shouldn’t be affected at all. I’ve also written a custom extension for displaying my own wishlist. If you’re interested in checking it out to build off of for your own wishlists (or whatever else it might [...]


Tarzan 1.0 RC2 Now Available!

by Ryan Parman • January 26, 2005 • Code, Projects, Technology • 2 comments

Tarzan 1.0 RC2 is now available for download. There are several new things in this version, including: Full support for all of Amazon’s locales (US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, and Japan), improved error handling, redesigned Tarzan info page, and a new demo page which combines the old sample.php and breakdown.php pages. All you UK’ers should [...]


Localizing Tarzan and AWS 4.0

by Ryan Parman • January 25, 2005 • Code, Projects, Technology • 1 comments

The inital response to Tarzan has been very good! I got a handful of comments and several messages through my contact form about it. Overwhelmingly, people want to see Tarzan localized for their country’s version of Amazon. Initially, I started digging around to start implementing support for the UK. After a while of digging, however, [...]


Introducing Tarzan

by Ryan Parman • January 23, 2005 • Code, Projects, Technology • 7 comments

My birthday is in November, and Christmas is in December, so the “holidays” go for about a month-and-a-half. Every year, I’d start getting these questions like “What do you want for your birthday? What do you want for Christmas?”. Of course, when you’re asked on the spot like that, you can never remember what it [...]


SimplePie 0.96 Now Available!

by Ryan Parman • January 14, 2005 • Code, Projects, Syndication, Technology • 2 comments

I quietly posted SimplePie 0.96 a few days ago, after having it in place in SimpleReader for about a week before that. So far, so good. For those of you currently using SimplePie, this new version makes more strides towards improving support for sucky feeds, tested support for PHP 5, and other bits of fine-tuning. [...]


Conditional Comments in Standalone Internet Explorer

by Ryan Parman • January 9, 2005 • Browsers, Code, Software • No comments

This was written by Manfred Staudinger from Vienna, Austria With a small, one-time change, Conditional Comments will work again and recognize the values 5.0 and 6.0, again; however, it will not recognize 5.5. How is it done? Go to the registry and look in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version Vector\ for the key IE. Simply get rid of [...]


SimplePie Beta Testing

by Ryan Parman • December 3, 2004 • Code, Projects, Syndication, Technology • No comments

Rather than completely hold off the next version of SimplePie until it’s totally complete (which appears to be taking some time), I’ve decided to make the current Beta versions available for testing purposes. Although it appears to be fairly stable, I wouldn’t recommend this for a production site just yet. If you’d like to test [...]


Screen Grab Confab

I know that I’m a couple of weeks late for this, but here’s my hat in the ring… Heads-up: the linked image is a 1.3 MB PNG file.
