New domain

Friday, January 25th, 2008

This site used to be at http://dave.stufftoread.net/ but that’s now proudly sporting some dull adverts, as it is being held ransom by enom.com. They want $200 or so for me to get it back from them because the domain registration expired. Not even remotely likely! So, after 5 years of stufftoread.net, it’s time to settle down here instead.

Slideshow version 0.31

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

I’ve just tagged version 0.31 over at dev.wp-plugins.org, and upgraded this site to use it. If it looks weird (if you’ve visited this site before) hit <ctrl>+R to refresh the css rules.

Having sat down to write a Zooomr plugin yesterday, I then realised I wanted one for some feeds from Last.fm. That would involve writing and installing an almost identical plugin. I like general solutions, not specific ones, so here’s how I did the same job with just one plugin and a bit of XSLT magic.

PhotoFetch Wordpress plugin

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

I just knocked up a plugin for Wordpress to display any Zooomr RSS feed out there. It seems to work for Flickr feeds too, which is nice. The other ones seemed too complicated.

Update: I won’t support this plugin as I’ve now ditched it in favour of an XSLT-based method, but I’m leaving this here for posterity.

Getting all high tech

Monday, July 10th, 2006

I’m getting ready for the Canada trip to visit Elaine, so I thought I’d set up a blog to post anything interesting along the way. I’ll put up my favourite photos too, if there are any really good ones.
