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…

@neotsn go to town

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).

Update: tsnX – Database Converted, bugs persist

Concepts, Projects, The-Spot.Network, Updates, tech, the-spot.net | Posted by [[Neo]] June 11th, 2006

I finished uploading the database for the site, and all the posts are there, plus some others from the beta site. There are some issues with logging in right now, and issues with the topics not showing the last poster. They’re things I’m working on…it’s a bit more difficult, because I, myself, am not able to log into the site, so I have to mess with the Authorization database.

However, I have been up all night, and until 8:45 this morning, and I’m tired. So I’m going to sleep now.

Update: tsnX Database Movement

Concepts, Projects, The-Spot.Network, Updates, tech, the-spot.net | Posted by [[Neo]] June 9th, 2006

I’m backing up the tsnX.3 Beta’s Database (with the posts, forums, and accounts) and going to start moving the tsnV database into the tsnX site. The site is going to be down for a bit, while I do this, and iron out the kinks of auth-access, and conversions. If things don’t go properly after a bit, I’ll restore the tsnX.3 database, and continue working on converting tsnV to tsnX again. There are some things that I can’t test just by looking at the SQL Code, and that I have to implement for it to be tested.

So check the pizzy for updates if the forums aren’t working. If, in the meantime, the server goes down for some reason, and you can’t get to thepizzy or tsn, then go to http://tsnblog.blogspot.com to fing out why.
