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 [...]
I Got iBalls… I mean iSight

My birthday is coming up on Tuesday (lucky me!), but I was allowed to open a present early. My wonderful three-year-old daughter (and her wonderful Mommy) knew exactly what to get me… another toy. Introducing my new iSight. With the 15 minutes I’ve had to play with it, it’s very cool, and will make chatting [...]

It Took Me Long Enough…

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Better support for non-English feeds, significantly improved support for poorly written feeds, automatic deletion of outdated cache files, and the stripping-out of potentially harmful tags (as per Mark Pilgrim’s suggestions).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!

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 [...]
