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 [...]

SimplePie 0.95 is now available. Anyone who is using any other version of SimplePie should update now. Major features/changes in this version include: Much improved support for reading all feeds, resolved display issues with < code > and < pre > tags, and added the ability to alter the display of feed dates using PHP’s [...]
A New License
• October 9, 2004 • Projects, Website • No comments
When I had originally written the SkyGPL license, my intent was to allow people to do all kinds of cool, creative things with my scripts, while still allowing me some sort of ownership and credit for my own work. That has been more or less the case. However, today I was going through the licenses [...]
It Took Me Long Enough…
• September 24, 2004 • Code, Projects, Syndication, Technology • 1 comments
The new and improved SimplePie 0.94 is out. Major features/changes in this version include: Better support for non-English feeds, significantly improved support for poorly written feeds, automatic deletion of outdated cache files, and the stripping-out of potentially harmful tags (as per Mark Pilgrim’s suggestions). There’s still a smidge of fine-tuning left to do. Although I [...]
SimplePie… Mmmm, Yummy!
• September 21, 2004 • Code, Projects, Syndication, Technology • 1 comments
I finally cracked the nut on the problem I was having with SimplePie. The compatibility fix I’ve been working on finally works for the two feeds that I was having a problem with. Thanks to Mark IJbema for nudging me in the right direction. The downside is that it slowed SimplePie down a bit. I [...]
What’s New?
• September 13, 2004 • Browsers, Personal, Projects, Technology, Website • 9 comments
Well, for those who seem to be intrigued by what goes on in my life, here’s a little update on what’s been going on. Dead Hard Drive: My 160 GB drive bit the dust last weekend. I’m still at a loss for why. The upshot is that it only took about 15 minutes to get [...]
