Resolutions for 2011

New Year’s Resolutions for 2011

Posted Jan 8th, 2011

I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions. This year, however, I decided to give the tradition of making a list a shot. Doing so caused me to reflect on 2010, even more than I had not too many days before working on the list. The list quickly became a paragraph or two for each item, and within an hour or so became a 3 page document. Once I was satisfied with what I wrote, I decided to send it…

Drupal - Aggregator Fix

Drupal Aggregator Timestamps and Views Ordering

Posted Dec 27th, 2010

Drupal’s core Aggregator module is great. It’ll handle pretty much any type of feed you throw at it, store the contents locally, and let you display it all however you want.

GiFEED

GiFEED – RSS to animated GIF PHP Script

Posted Jan 24th, 2010

GiFEED is a small PHP script that takes titles from an RSS feed and uses them to build an animated Gif file for use in email signatures, forum posts, and just about anything else that you can think of. I originally put this together back in 2007 and completely forgot it even existed, but recently found it while going through some old files. I think this is the very first script I wrote in PHP, not too long after beginning…
