PODBAT ALPHA DEVCAST # 8 

Wow. Seems ages since I did a podbat devcast. Hmm.. that's because it was! A rambling podcast, totally unprepared and random, with a few ideas and updates and an old mashup from yours truly. FOCUS KOSSO! FOCUS!!! "SHIP THE DAMN APP!!!" :)

LINGUACASTING 

Years and years ago, I wanted to be linguist (a cunning one at that). Years ago, one of my first web ideas was a site that would have been called 'International Swearing'. I had it on the 'coming soon' page on my site for ages.

International Swearing (.com) was planned to be the perfect travelling companion. How many times have you been in a forgeign country, with a different language and you've never known if someone was being derogatory or not? ;) The idea would be that people could upload or share audio clips of them saying stuff, with a translation. All the 'key' swear words would be there, of course. ;)

Maybe now through RSS and OPML, via podcasting, this can become a no-brainer to set up. I have alot on my plate at the moment, what with the podbat, etc. And I have a LOAD of new ideas for stuff around RSS. One of them is a killer. :) [And an earner! ] I'll be finishing the outlines of these plans for global domination very soon. :)

Here's me counting to 10 in English (Dave had a go! heh 'etc'), German, Spanish and French. Feel free to mail me mp3s of yourself counting to ten in other languages. :) 

Send mail to podbat at gmail dot com :)

New Entry button is back 

Now... how to keep it?

MMM CNN VIDEO FEED

MY OWN PERSONAL GOOGLE? 

So do I prefer my own personal Google or my own personalised Google homepage? :)

Bluggcast #17 

Yes, we're back again with other Bluggcast for you all. :) Bit of a rough one this, with no preparation or anything. We gotta get more of these done. Sorry for the wait. Random pseudo-techie nonsense from confused aliens from another planet (but which? :) ). 

BUTTON GONE 

My cool little button didn't survive the upgrade. But that's OK. I didn't really expect it to. I'm sure there's probably a way for me to stop all that getting clobbered. :)

Does anyone know how to get the month chooser up? (I have posts from June y'see) Or will they magically appear at the end of this month? Hmm..

WOO NEW ENTRY BUTTON!! 

I just had a bit of a hack at dotOpml.root and created a New Entry Button on the 'Today's Blog Outline' window (if you know what I mean). It was really bugging me that this window lacked the functionality that the Instant outliner window has. Namely, a button which when pressed, adds a new empty outline to the top line (the IO adds the date and your initials too).

So, off I go digging around in the dotPomlSuite.instantOutliner.buttons.myOutline branch and found the node which creates the button in the IO window.

So I selected it and copied it, then went digging and found the dotOpmlSuite.blog.buttons branch and pasted the 'New Entry' node in there.

I then commented out the date and initials line with a double-slash and changed the second parameter of the next line to 'up' instead of 'right'.

Then I hit the compile button and reopened today's outline window...

Voila!! A New Entry button!! I like this. I like this ALOT. Time for bed.

I don't know if this change will survive an update. Hmm...

27/07/05; 04:41:41 by K << To insert the date and your initials, hit Ctrl+4

If anyone manages to work out how to create scripts which add custom attributes, I'd love to know. Ta ;)
