Quakecon 2009

How To, Programming, tech | Posted by [[Neo]] August 11th, 2009

It’s that time again – time to pack up all your computer crap, go wait in line for 8 hours, just to put it down at a hotel and go home…then come back and stay up for 98 hours straight running on nothing but BAWLS and pure adrenaline.

That’s right – it’s time for Quakecon 2009.

I’ve added a  Google Latitude App to the right sidebar of my blog to show where I am in the whole ordeal – but don’t be fooled, I will have remote access to both locations, from both locations – so no funny business.

Granted this idea works better for people that have to make a longer trek than my 35 mile drive – but it’s still cool none the less.

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 »

Integrating Google Connect

Concepts, Programming, Updates, tech, thepizzy.net | Posted by [[Neo]] January 25th, 2009

I’ve been part of the Google Connect beta since shortly after it came out – but it wasn’t until recently that I actually implemented it on my blog and the parent site, www.thepizzy.net. So, if you read this (and I know there has to be at least 4 other people in the world that do), go ahead and hit the Join button on it, and let me know y’all are out there. (it helps to know one is writing to an audience instead of providing technical articles to the etherworld.)

You don’t have to worry about spam or anything – I don’t like it either.

In other news, I’m also working on a tutorial entry that describes how to get data from a Google Docs Spreadsheet. Normally, I wouldn’t worry about trying to release this code, but since it was such a pain for me to figure out (like the UT3 Server setup), I’m sure it’s a pain for others to figure out as well.

The code creates a secure-authenticated session to Google Accounts, and then requests the data from a particular cell on a spreadsheet. My code goes one step further though, and posts that data to Twitter – which means it also creates an authenticated POST request via the Twitter API.

“Why do that?’ you ask…Well, if you want to be able to update a spreadsheet from, say an iPhone or other Mobile Browser, Google Docs will not let you. But I’ll explain more in the coming entry. Be looking for that sometime this week (I hope).

twitter & tsn.7

Concepts, Programming, Projects, Updates, tech, the-spot.net | Posted by [[Neo]] January 30th, 2008

With a new My Spot page comes new possibilities. This time around, I’m going to make a concerted effort to actually write in new code and attach a new database backend that pulls from the phpbb database and the users’ accounts on the-spot.net.With this new plan, there will be increased ability to add features and remove features on the user-level…that is to say, you can choose what you want to see on the page.
