I made a bit of a change to jui.cc. When you go to a jui.cc URL, it'll now display a bar at the top of the page with the contents of the URL below it. For example, see the jui.cc URL for my site: http://jui.cc/1

Peter and his coworkers over at Virgo have been working all week to get a flash project working that will stream their former prime minister's speech live (2010-02-05 14:00 GMT).. It has a live twitter feed and has voting capabilities. As a programmer, stuff like this is exciting when it's on such a large scale: http://backchannel.virgo.hu/

I learned something last night.. I had to move a Wordpress site from one domain to another on Dreamhost. I read online that you have to create a fresh install of Wordpress on the new domain, then copy the wp-content folder over from the old domain. Finally you have to reconfigure the wp-config.php file on the new domain to point to the old database. I did all those steps and it was still coming back with a "redirection loop error"; the site caused an infinite loop for whatever reason and was not loading.. I messed around with the .htaccess file, I went in to each table in the database to make sure the old domain wasn't referenced anywhere... no luck. Finally I went back in to the Dreamhost control panel, to the Manage Domains section (https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=domain.manage&) and edited the Web Hosting options for the new domain..

The solution was on this page. It has a section on there that asks "Do you want the www in the URL?" with the options "Leave it alone", "add www" and "remove www" ... I noticed that it was set to "add www" so I changed it to "leave it alone" and the Wordpress site finally started working.

Oh man I haven't been to thinkgeek.com in a while. I love the design changes they made. I especially like the CSS zombies that appear in the background image as you scroll to the very bottom of the page:

Back when Obama was 100 days in office, I made a site called howlonghasobamabeenpresident.com as sort of a gag... Not many people visit it, and I don't really expect them to - it's a gag site! Anyway it's interesting to note that in the recent weeks, people have been searching "how long has obama been president" more frequently. On October 9th, for example, 32 people found the site because they searched those keywords. Why are people searching this all of a sudden? Is it around that time when people start wondering? I guess when the answer "less than a year" isn't enough...

I wish Google Apps had a place where we could change the favicon. The default Google favicon is nice and all, but I like my new M.

Pastebot.net has now been updated to show a "Wrap long lines" option for posts with lines that cause a horizontal scroll. We all hate scrolling horizontally while reading something, no? Please note that the option is only available for the web output and not the Raw or Download options. Try it out with a long line of text versus a short line of text.

There are tons of pastebins out there, but I needed one for myself so here's my take. Keep in mind that more features will be added as time goes on.

You can now buy prints of selected photos. Visit the prints page for more information.

I made a small change to jui.cc, so now when you create a URL, it will also give you a 140 character input box that you can send straight to Twitter. Try it out for yourself on the Jui.cc URL creation page for this post.

I created a "whitelist" for jui.cc so that facebook and flickr URLs now work. If you have any other valid sites that aren't working, please let me know.

Another new feature... photo search. It's in the same spot as the random links mentioned in the previous post. Go ahead and give it a try.

I added a new feature today: at the bottom of the main page there is now a link to display a "Random: photo | tag | page."

Look what we found on the internet today: http://binaerpilot.no/alexander/ ... Type "about" ... That interpreter was apparently based on my cmd script. Cool!

http://blue-moose.ca/ has been resurrected -- my friend Burk's site -- and now using my framework. Good to have you back, Burk.

You know, I haven't visited Planet Openbox for a while but this morning I decided to visit some of my bookmarks and clicked on it. Funny enough this is where I learned that my log's RSS feed is broken. It's all fixed up now... and in the process I learned that feedburner is owned by Google -- which I guess is old news but I never knew about it until this morning when I went to edit the title for my feed and it asked me to sign in with my Google account.

Sun and moon times are now available on my radar page.

This site's framework now supports multiple word tags... for example: long exposure. This took me a while to get working, and it's still not 100% yet but it is good enough for now. I've installed it on Jessyel and Yolanda's sites as well.

My boss liked my site layout, so I've ported my code over to her site as well. Check it out: yolanda.ca.

I've let Jessyel have a copy of my photos framework. It is now live over at dailysnap.com.

Introducing another section added to this site; the photo archives. This is pretty much my simplified interpretation of the Flickr archives. It organizes the photos based on the date they were uploaded to the site. The easiest way to get to it right now (other than typing it into the address bar) is by selecting a photo, for example this one and clicking on the "Uploaded on" date link. Eventually there will be some top menu restructuring to accomodate the feature, but for now, you'll have to live with this.

Update: I've shuffled the top menu around a bit. The archives link is up there now, and the (b)log has moved to the "more" menu. After all, what makes me important enough for people to want to know what the hell I'm saying anyway? :)
