Everything Changes

Posted by bux - 19 April 2012 - Computing, Websites

Motivated by a number of reasons, I’ve begun to move everything from my old VPS to what has been my development server until recently. It’s been a complete digital spring-clean of all the old sites I used to maintain and hopefully the result should be an improvement. Here’s a list of the main changes: Good [...]

Leeds Festival 2010

Posted by bux - 8 September 2010 - Music

Just recovered, so thought I’d post some ramblings for this year. Various high points were: Colin; gin jam; Jacob and Alf shopping for nothing but sweets; the wind and its army of shopping bags; back on form with brie and crackers; staying at the main stage missing plenty of good bands; acting like we were [...]

Word Clock v2

I’ve seen a few nice-looking representations of clocks around, but when I saw Gumuz’s word clock I though I could make some improvements to it. Here’s a couple of the changes: Rewrote using MooTools (only because I know it better, I’m currently developing in it, and it gave me a chance to play with Google’s [...]

Mootools Hash.setFromPath

Posted by bux - 23 October 2009 - Computing
0

MooTools More implements a getFromPath method in Hash.Extras, but doesn’t provide a corresponding setter. Here’s an implementation: Hash.implement({ setFromPath: function(path, value) { var source = this; var prop = ”;   path.replace(/[([^]]+)]|.([^.[]+)|[^[.]+/g, function(match) { if (!source) return; prop = arguments[2] || arguments[1] || arguments[0];   if (!(prop in source)) source[prop] = {}; lastSource = source; [...]

Today, after reading over 3000 posts on FML over the the past 6 months, I realised that MLIA is actually more enjoyable than schadenfreude. MLIG is too boring, though. MLIA

Spacing out CamelCase in PHP

Posted by bux - 27 May 2009 - Computing

Here’s a nifty function to put spaces in your CamelCased words: function spacify($camel, $glue = ‘ ‘) { return $camel[0] . substr(implode($glue, array_map(’implode’, array_chunk(preg_split(’/([A-Z])/’, ucfirst($camel), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE), 2))), 1); }   echo spacify(’CamelCaseWords’); // ‘Camel Case Words’ I added in the $glue parameter to be even more nifty, but a bit of thinking [...]

Paying the Price for Bad Grammar

Posted by bux - 10 April 2009 - Play

This is why we need Grammar Nazis: Today, I was flirting via text with a coworker. Things started getting heated, and I wanted to send her a sexy picture. I asked if she had any suggestions. She said, “Your nuts!” She meant, “YOU’RE nuts.” I sent her a photo of my junk. I offended a [...]

Things I Learnt Today

That Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw is a goon; that his early stuff is, if anything, funnier than his paid stuff for The Escapist; that I there will always be something on the Internet that I haven’t seen, and that someone will think I have been living under a rock to have missed it.

Get a Grid for Transparent Images in Firefox

Posted by bux - 17 February 2009 - Computing
0

Here’s a useful bit of Firefox hackery for you all. It puts a checkerboard (or chequerboard, for you elitists) image as the background for your transparent images. It works for any image when viewed directly in Firefox, by checking for a HTML page containing a single img tag. If you reproduce this structure manually, then [...]
