Tarzan 1.0 Is Now Available!
• 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!
• 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
• 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
• 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!
• 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. [...]
Using Del.icio.us Feeds With SimplePie
• December 13, 2004 • Projects, Syndication, Technology, Website • No comments
I know that a lot of people are using Magpie RSS to power their del.icio.us sidebar links, so I figured I’d throw out a code sample showing how you could use SimplePie for the same task. If you need to come to terms with why SimplePie might be a better choice of RSS parser, check [...]
SimplePie Beta Testing
• 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 [...]
Simple PHP Gallery 1.1
• November 19, 2004 • Code, Projects, Website • 4 comments
Paul Griffin has just released SPG 1.1! For those who aren’t familiar with this project, Simple PHP Gallery is exactly that—an easy-to-use image gallery system, written in PHP. There are several new features listed on Paul’s SPG Mini-Site, but there are a few that are my favorites (as I was a beta tester for this [...]
