I subscribe to a number of third-party calendars in my own Google Calendar, one of which being my Facebook events. However, there are a couple of issues to work around to get everything working perfectly. If a friend has marked an event as “private”, Google Calendar only shows free/busy information because the iCal event has […]
Read MoreI have a fair amount of music in my library, and because I’m a massive nerd I like to keep it in some sort of order. (My pre-iTunes library has some 20,000 tracks, half of which are utter garbage. I’m slowly moving over the good stuff.) All of my tracks are managed in my iTunes […]
Read MoreHere’s the scenario: you use Apache Ant for some of your automated build process, but you also have some tools in Phing. You run both ant and phing from your repository root. Because you use Ant most, the Ant targets are in build.xml, and Phing has to use phing.xml. Sure, you can run phing -f […]
Read MoreMotivated 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 […]
Read MoreI’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 […]
Read MoreMooTools 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; […]
Read MoreHere’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($camel), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE), 2))), 1); } echo spacify(’CamelCaseWords’); // ‘Camel Case Words’function spacify($camel, $glue = ‘ ‘) { return $camel[0] . substr(implode($glue, array_map(‘implode’, array_chunk(preg_split(‘/([A-Z])/’, ucfirst($camel), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | […]
Read More…that is the question. The answer? FF.
Read MoreThat 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.
Read MoreHere’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 […]
