Hamachi Web Status Images

How To, Programming, Projects, tech, tsnLocal.net | Posted by [[Neo]] September 17th, 2009

Update…

Unfortunately, LogMeIn figured out they forgot about that page, I guess when people started reading this post and hitting it on their servers. They have removed the text status as well as all the others, and I can’t figure out why they would do such a thing.

I’m also not sure what they’re offering as an alternative either. So if you know, please leave a comment below. Thanks.

Depreciated Process…

A while back, I started a project called tsn.lcl or tsnlocal, but gave up on it when my electricity bill hit $400 in a month.

Today, I decided to fix up the domain name and get it back on the internet – at least to remove it from GoDaddy’s Parking Page – where they’re making money, not me, off of it.

When I got it published I noticed that none of the Hamachi Web Status images worked anymore, and that the link to such an image, redirected to their login page for your Hamachi Management Dashboard. However, upon further investigation, I found that there was not only an Image version of those status instances, but also a text version.

I really wanted to show the online status of all my machines again, so I wrote my own php script to parse that text data, and created some simple images to show on the website based on the returned status.

So here’s the code so you can do the same thing… Read the rest of this entry »

Dallas Stars Twitter (@dallasstars and @thedallasstars)

Projects, Twitter, tech | Posted by [[Neo]] May 11th, 2009

What happened to the Dallas Stars Twitter? They removed me from their friend list, and changed everything!

If you’re asking yourself that question…it’s not what you think. Here’s what happened – it was all a mistake…

The Backstory…

Back in the Fall of 2007, @winkydo had an idea to start broadcasting the scores during the Dallas Stars NHL hockey games. Read the rest of this entry »

TweetSuite, TweetBacks, and Ping.fm Wordpress plugin (Update)

Programming, Projects, TweetSuite, Updates, tech | Posted by [[Neo]] April 1st, 2009

Well, I sent off my plugin code to Dan Zarrella, and got the Ping.fm developers API Key approved, and got Wordpress.org to approve the plugin, and have been running it on my blog since its original announcement – but have run into a possible issue…

My webhost says it is creating a lot of “sleeper” processes on the database server, and using up a lot of the processor resources. My account was even suspended until I fixed it.

SO – I am going to be rewriting the whole thing, pretty much from scratch now, and it will only be loosely based on Dan’s version… Read the rest of this entry »

TweetSuite Wordpress Plugin + Ping.fm (Preview)

Concepts, Ping.fm, Programming, Projects, TweetSuite, Twitter, Wordpress, tech | Posted by [[Neo]] March 21st, 2009

A couple weeks ago, I found out that Twitter had a Search feature that showed real-time tweets for a keyword. I gave it a little thought, considered what it would take to actually write the software – and then wised up, and decided to see if someone already did the hard work.

Sure enough, Dan Zarrella over at danzarrella.com had. He wrote one for Tweetbacks, and then expanded on it with TweetSuite. So I gave them a shot.

I started with Tweetbacks on the FreeformFrog.com Blog and everything seemed to be working fine – until one day when the Tweetbacks stopped. It just stopped finding them – even though I knew they were getting tweeted – because I was using Ping.fm to syndicate my blog posts to the appropriate social networks.

I gave it a couple weeks, and then decided I was going to fix it. I was tired of not having my TweetBacks working – especially during my efforts pushing a Social Networking campaign at job.

So, I added @danzarrella, and asked…

@danzarrella do you have plans to integrate ping.fm posting in TweetSuite? If not, mind if I take a crack at it?

A few minutes later, I got a response…

JavaScript, XHTML, & AJAX…again

Concepts, Programming, Projects, The-Spot.Network, Updates, tech, the-spot.net | Posted by [[Neo]] September 22nd, 2008

Well, I haven’t done much that was technically inclined, except for some various coding forays into the world of JavaScript, and XHTML– consequently it led me back to AJAX and XML-Http-Requests. But I didn’t bother to post anything about that, since it was work-related, and not website-related…kind of. Read the rest of this entry »
