I have compiled a list of 10 songs (not albums) that I have been listening to quite frequently in the last month.
While searching on-line for an answer to a programming question, I stumbled upon Wiki.
"Imagine a world in which every single person is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing."
Wikipedia, (which operates on the aforementioned "Wiki" concept) is an encyclopedia written collaboratively by its readers. Anyone that has a connection to the internet can quickly edit or add-to any part of this on-line information bank.
A massive, evolving database of worldwide mortal awareness - that already has 550,000 entries.
So screw you encyclopedia Britannica and your unabridged shelf-space. In fact, fuck the whole non-fiction section of the library. Make sure you have your hat strapped down and bootlaces tied tight before you click on the link (above) to learn more.
This lightweight PHP script will parse Blizzard's XML feed and display realm status on your Guild's web page. The output can be configured as text/HTML, a dynamically generated image or as a PHP array.
During peak hours, Blizzard's website connection is often unreliable. This script solves that problem by caching the XML data and only checking for updates at definable intervals.
The latest version supports both US and European servers (except Russia, sorry comrades).
This script just got a major overhaul the includes dynamic image generation, status caching and improved error detection.
The WoW Server Status version 3.1 page can be found here.
Six-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong will retire on July 24, one day after the Tour de France. At a press conference in Atlanta, Georgia today, 33 year-old Armstrong announced that he would not be continuing for another year, confirming his statements earlier this year that "four months, and it's over."
Later, while off-camera, Lance may or may-not have been quoted saying, "I guess it's better to go out on a high-note than get busted for the doping I've been doing all these years."
Another one bites the dust... Olympic TT Gold Medalist, Lige-Bastogne-Lige champ, and all around tough gent, Tyler Hamilton was found guilty of doping by United States Anti-Doping Agency. The 34 year-old received the maximum two-year suspension for a first-time doping offense. It should be noted since Hamilton was accused of doping last fall, he has been infallible regarding his innocence. So that means he is either nuts (there was a good deal of evidence against him) or the USADA truly sucks - or both.
Nevermore be shackled by the appearance of jagged fonts. Release the bonds of using the same tired web typefaces over and over again. Save yourself immeasurable hours of creating individual text images for titles. The time has come to bathe in the omnipotence of dynamically generated text images. By harnessing the power of PHP and the commonly built-in GD Library, you too can become a god among men.
Do you have hit counter that miss-counts every time you refresh your web page? Are you unwilling to install a bloated multi-file script just to get an accurate hit count?
Behold! A dead-simple, minuscule sized, accurate hit counter. A PHP session (cookie) is used to determine if the site has been visited during the browser's session. The IP address of the last visitor is logged as well. Basically, you need to close your browser application, reopen it, change your IP address and revisit the web page to record a "double hit".
This PHP script will allow you to monitor your current local weather via a Weather.com XML feed. It parses the XML data and then outputs formatted HTML to a .txt file. This .txt file can then be integrated into your website via SSI, PHP or any other language that will accept Includes. It is intended to be setup as a Cron Job, that is accessed to update only every few minutes. If it were accessed more often, Weather.com would shut down your XML feed.
Check it the fuck out! By using the GD imagery library for PHP I can output any text on this website in any True Type font.
For instance, look at the Title and Date of this article. Those aren't premade pixels - that is straight up dynamically generated shit motherfucker.
I think I'll go for a bike ride now.
Maybe I am losing my edge, but it took me about 5 minutes to realize...well see for yourself.
Some notable areas to visit on your trip to the virtual residence of the President are; "For Kid's Only," "Department of Faith," and "Sex is for Fags."
On another note, there is now a functioning webcam in my room. However, it only works while my laptop is on. Unfortunately, the cooling fans in my notebook sound like a Harrier jet preparing for vertical liftoff and is not conducive to sleeping. So you won't be able to watch me while I slumber.
I found an interesting little hack for iTunes that FTPs an XML feed of what I am currently listening to. I am then able to parse the feed with PHP and draw album covers from Amazon
