Lately I’ve been working diligently (or slaving away, whichever you want to call it) on a project called CabniQuote. It’s a thing for custom cabinet dealers to price and submit quotes online. Hence the overly creative name, CabniQuote. This morning I managed to finish a lot on the admin section. You can log in now, [...]
I like how I have blog posts with three main topics and the semicolonated (is that a word?) titles. Let’s get right to it. The past couple of days, this very blog has had an incredible spike in traffic. After investigating I’ve found that it’s likely related to the recent release of Pidgin 2.2.0. You [...]
CIMG0444, originally uploaded by nedrubwerd. I currently have seven computers in the trunk of my car. I plan on building a server cluster with them… but they’re really old and may not work. Didn’t Google start out on old hardware like this? Either way… I’ll post more about it as I go along.
I noticed something was wrong with the Top Friends display on my home page, so I investigated and found that MySpace had changed their user image URL scheme again. I wrote some new code and we now have MySpaceDP 6.0. Before today, the tool searched for a URL beginning with http://a. The first occurrence of [...]
Today I went to the post office to apply for my United States passport. How awesome is that. I’ll be able to leave the country and just swipe that thing. (This also means that if I get the money, next summer I am totally going to a Brad Sucks show in Canada.) Here’s the bad [...]
Sean Egan posted an interesting news item last week discussing upcoming UI changes due out in Pidgin 2.1.0, which was scheduled to be released the next day but they apparently couldn’t get a few bugs worked out. I like the new conversation window design with the “Infopane” and I’m glad the developers decided to include [...]
You folks may remember that a while back I posted an unofficial build of Pidgin with MySpaceIM support. I’ve compiled newer versions of Pidgin and Jeff Connelly’s MySpaceIM protocol plugin and packaged it up. If you were getting a 260 error message whenever you tried to login before, it’s still an unfixed bug. If your [...]
Update 17 September 2007: This is an outdated post. There’s no MySpaceIM/Pidgin problem anymore. Pidgin 2.2.0 includes MySpaceIM, go download that if you’re having trouble. —————————- Or more specifically, why I can’t log in. My password is longer than 8 characters. For some reason, you can only login if your password is 8 characters or [...]
So I hacked together this script (again) that filters annoying words and phrases on MySpace to things that are more fun. It’ll soon have its own page on DrewBurden.com, but for now you can visit the script at http://msannoy.wordpress.com.
So I was looking through referer logs on apps.drewburden.com today, and I find a link from RentACoder.com. Naturally, I investigate these sort of things. Someone wants an ASP script done that will tell you which of your friends has added you to their top friends. I think it’ll end up using my apps, and I [...]
