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. I recently began using it at work to display some partner feeds on latina.com, but ran in to a small problem – the feed items were not being ordered by their associated timestamps. Even worse, they looked like they weren’t updating at all. This problem didn’t occur when working…

Delayed tracking pixels

Posted Feb 3rd, 2010

I ran in to a situation at work today where an advertiser, wanting to place a tracking pixel on a sponsored piece of Web content, only wanting to know about visitors who have been on the page containing the content for at least one minute. The advertising system we use doesn’t offer a solution for this out of the box and I didn’t think it would be terribly difficult to make happen, but was surprised to not find any quick…

My First Post on Latina.com

Posted Jan 24th, 2010

I got the opportunity to write a tech post for latina.com last week. It was about the 2 new Palm phones set to launch on Verizon Wireless tomorrow, which weren’t even mentioned by most media outlets until a couple of days later.

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…

Ryan D. Johnson, 1983-2010

Posted Jan 18th, 2010

Ryan Johnson, a friend for over a decade, passed away in a fire last Thursday. Ryan, better known on the Internet as RJ2, originally gained notoriety after releasing a AoHack program called FireToolz. We first met in one of the aol private rooms that a lot of other young programmers spent time in. I don’t remember which of the series of rooms it was; teel, ipa, deadend, who knows, but we had some good folks in there. RJ2, Eraser, Propal,…
