En de taak van een minister is niet meer of minder dan het genadeloos uitvoeren daarvan… Toch? Binnenkort gaan de ontwerpen voor de Anti-Verdonk T-shirts naar de drukker dus als je nu Arjan even mailt ben je binnenkort de meest fashionable weldenkende man/vrouw van jouw straat.
I updated my mother’s portfolio site again. It now uses a new front end for the free Flash based image viewer SimpleViewer and a new admin tool (which is a work in progress). The storage is now purely XML based (no more database) since that is the format SimpleViewer needs anyway. The admin tool edits the XML directly using PHP’s DOM functions while the frontend uses the new SimpleXML functions in PHP5. Once the complete package is ready for prime time i might release the code as an alternative to the current PHP based admin tool for SimpleViewer.
The fine(est) Javascript toolkit Dojo was just updated to release-0.3.0, clicky the link for the release builds. This release is a great improvement, from mundane bug fixes and general code cleanup to the wild and wacky new options like client side file storage. Watch the Dojo Toolkit homepage for the offical writeup.
Altough most modern web applications have an API, many do not. For the rest we have site scrapers. Thor Muller suggests (follow up here) we open up our scapers with their own scrAPI to get to those now hard to reach sources of nfo into the mashup mix.
Well launched is maybe a bit of a big word for registering a domain name and installing a Wiki on it, but either way… Today is the day that PimpMyCode.nl goes live. A website that allows you to share and comment on working code with a single goal; elegance in programming. Plus you might learn something.
Have a look, post some code, see what happens…
Ismael Ghalimi has compiled a list of web based productivity software with which you could potentially bring your whole office software suite to the web; Office 2.0 Database.
Of this list i actively use DabbleDB (CRM and list manager), Linkedin (contacts) and (as soon as they fix some issues) Blinksale (invoicing) for my own business. And Gmail (webmail), Del.icio.us (bookmarks), Pixoh (photo editing), Flickr (photo sharing) and Wordpress (blogging) personally.
