Lately I’ve been playing around with a few different APIs. Getting the hang of using them and seeing what they can do. I’ve had a brief play with both the Flickr and Twitter APIs, and they’re both actually very user-friendly yet powerful.
I decided to build a simple photo album script using mostly PHP and jQuery to do the tricky parts, and the SimplePie library for actually importing the photo stream. I’ve called it The Grey Album, and though I probably wouldn’t call it a complete and comprehensive script, it seems to do the job. Any feedback is most welcome!

I’ve setup my home network with a domain and wanted to be able to access my home server, from my office, on a subdomain.
However, as is probably the case for most of you, I have a dynamic IP address assigned to my router when it connects to the Internet through my ISP. So I decided I’d have to setup my own dynamic DNS process!

After seeing quite a few websites with dynamic content based on the domain name, I wanted to give it a try to see how difficult it was to achieve.
Here’s what I came up with: DueABootin.com
As it turns out, it wasn’t very difficult at all! (Especially being hosted through WebFaction, they make it even easier!)

Ok, so I promised you the basic structure of an HTML page. So here is it:
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>My First HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is the first paragraph on the page.</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph on the page, and it's a little bit longer than the first one. Try resizing your window to make it narrower to see the text wrap but maintain the paragraph spacing.</p>
</body>
</html> |
