In preparation for the upcoming release of the open source version of jMe, I’ve created a new projects website where I share all the news regarding my projects, this way OS X Code (r,s) can again focus more on OS X related news. The new website is called Mind Share Projects. The site has three […]
As a reaction to the deactivated account after being dugg, I’ve moved to new servers, one that can actually scale to as much traffic and CPU load as I need. My new hosting provider is Media Temple and I’m using their new grid hosting service. With such new technology as grid hosting, I’m pretty sure […]
A shared hosting plan just isn’t enough if you launch something as cool as jMe. After being on the digg frontpage for half a day, other big sites like del.icio.us, reddit, stumbleupon have added the link to their frontpage as well and that was the moment my server gave up. Well, actually the server was […]
jMe made it to the digg, del.icio.us and Ajax Magazine homepage! Surprisingly my $5 web hosting account wasn’t dugg down for the most part. It’s stilll on the frontpage, so I better knock on wood now. Before I get to many emails, let’s answer some of the questions I’ve got:
Will I be able to […]
Just a few jQuery code snippets I’m using on the jMe feed aggregator that may be useful to some:
$("#mydiv").children().each(function(i){
if (i > 10){
$(this).remove();
}
});
This one removes all childrens from #mydiv with a count greater than ten. Useful if you want to limit the number of childrens inside an element […]
Without John Resig, the creator of jQuery, jMe wouldn’t exist. So I was really happy to see him give such a nice comment about my first jQuery project on the jQuery mailing list:
I really dig this. I think the UI is very well designed and the
animations are very tactful and well-placed.
My only suggestion is make […]
After a week of tests and bug fixes, it’s finaly time for the open beta of jMe, a feed aggregator with some new and unique features you’ll (hopefuly) like . jMe is currently aggregating a hand selected collection of OS X, Web 2.0 and programming related sources. In case the beta testers have missed a […]
The beta phase for jMe just started today. First a nice ‘thank you’ to the beta testers: Gerald, Leif, Ciro, Parham, Mark, AJe, Ian, Danny and Frank. A special ‘thank you’ to Gerald for the post on his blog. Than of course another ‘thank you’ to the nice and very helpful guys from the jQuery […]
Finaly, news from OS X Code (r,s)! First the bad news, it’s not the announced weblog system, that one will come later, but here comes the good news, it’s something extremely useful for everyone in the Mac and Web 2.0 community that has a weblog or does a lot of message board posting or anyone […]
Yes, you heard right, I’ll be back soon and I’m not just talking about new posts, no no no, something bigger is coming. I have silently developed a new blogging web application that will completely replace WordPress, the one I’m using right now. I don’t want to reveal too much right now, just that it’ll […]
As promised, here are some new PopulApp feeds. One gives you some overall stats from all submitted applications (top 50) and the other one gives you the same stats just for your own apps (top 25). Of course the overall stat still needs more users for some accuracy, so please support this service if you […]
Finally, a third OS X Code (r,s) application, but what is it? You may have noticed the recent app list inside the right sidebar of this blog, of course I’m not updating that list by hand, it’s automatically generated and updated from my two Macs. Basically there’s a small server-side API that can be pinged […]
Once again there will be no live feed of the Steve Jobs Macworld keynote later today in San Francisco, but of course there are sites with live updates. I will try to post updates as well, so check back in about four hours (from this post). Here are the exact times for your city in […]
Don’t get irritated by the small version number update, just have a look at the new features, there are literally worlds between version 1.1 and 1.2:
New Ajax like interface, but don’t worry, it still works without any server scripts!
Overworked design with icons/buttons
View color highlighted functions and classes
View comments for each function/class if available
Cross reference scan […]
Five months ago I’ve started this OS X blog here, made 248 posts since than, added 713 links and now I’m finally taking a break over the next two weeks. 2005 was definitely an interesting year for us Mac users with a lot of interesting new software, hardware and not to forget all the Web […]
Edit: Version 1.2 is out, more info and download link over here.
As announced a few hours ago, here’s the second OS X Code (r,s) application based on Platypus. The name of the app is phpPackageScan and while I’ve created the app for myself, it should be useful for almost any PHP developer out there that […]
Ever wondered how many files and functions there are in some of the biggest web-applications? How many classes, lines of code and other useful stats? Last week I was struggling to find a WordPress function that made some problems with one of the WordPress plugins I’m making, so I decided to make an OS X […]
The time has come, OS X Code (r,s) releases a first OS X application, Folder Clean-Up! So what does it do? The app is very similar to Chaos Antidote I’ve shown earlier on this blog. However, there are two main differences, it’s free and you just have to drop the messy folder you want to […]
I had some fun with Platypus this weekend. First thing what I did was a “clone” of Chaos Antidote using a PHP script. I’ll let you download that one later after some bug testing. Anyway, I did a second application with Platypus, PHP Executer. Just drop any normal PHP file over it and it will […]
WikiCache, my first WordPress plugin is currently being beta tested and a release is just days away, so it’s time to think about the next one. The following ideas are currently on top of my list; however if you have an other idea, one I could like, just let me know, only have in mind […]
As some of you may know, I’m developing a WordPress plugin to cache, list and view wiki articles inside your own blog. If you look to the left, there’s a list with the latest cached articles and if you click more, you can browse all articles and view them inside this blog. The plugin is […]
I’m currently working on a WordPress plugin with the name “wikicache”. Here’s a first preview.
So what is it? It’s a plugin to cache Wikipedia articles you’ve worked on (but not limited to that) and to make them available directly on your blog. I’m nearly finished with the part visitors of your blog will see, just […]
Maybe you’ve already wondered why there are short posts without the usual image, those posts are news diggs. News diggs are short news posts that link to an external article. The news are hand selected by me and are coming from the social news digging site digg.com. Some of them will be written or edited […]
The last blogging meme by Om Malik about the top 10 OS X apps was really useful, but these days web services have become very important as well, so there should definitely be a meme about those browser based applications as well. Here are the rules: Post your favorite web services on your own blog […]
I finally had some time yesterday to search the web for some amazing Wordpress plugins to extend this blog. One of the new plugins I’ve installed is Viper’s Plugins Used. This plugin makes it possible for you to have a look at a dynamic generated list of all the currently installed plugins. Some of the […]
To gain maximum knowledge of the network world, go for some online courses like N10-003 and SY0-101. You will easily be able to play with the wireless cable concept. It will not be hard to install a computer software without any instructions. Not only this, you will also be able to work on a remote pc software. Sounds too good? Bet it is!
