Today I was working on getting a twitter site feed up in JavaScript and now it is running on my home page and I have a demo here. The downside is that each page can only display each user once so far. The code is here if you want to use it with jQuery.
Vitural Host
I was trying to set up a virtual host with Apache on my MacBook and it turned out to be a bigger deal than I thought it would be.
Here are the steps that I took to setup “something.local”
First add a alias name to the mac os.
1) Open terminal Applications/Utilites/Terminal
2) Type “sudo nano /etc/hosts” (without quotes) and enter your password
3) Go to the end of the file using the arrow keys and add to the file “127.0.0.1 something.local” (without quotes)
4) Control X (Not apple key Control) , The “Y” key and enter
5) Now another config file type “sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf”
6) Go to the end of the File and add
NameVirtualHost *:80
< virtualhost *:80>
ServerAdmin someone@example.com
DocumentRoot “/Users/YOUR_USER_NAME/Sites/something.local”
ServerName something.local
ServerAlias www.something.local
< /virtualhost>
After restarting the computer when you type in “something.local” in to your web browser Apache will try to server up the index file in the something.local in you sites folder
The fist day of the cruise
This was my first day in Mexico from the cruise that I am on and this is what has happened to me so far. We also went on “Rhapsody night” and there was a good show and food.
Video longer than 10 min on YouTube
Ok, so I was trying to upload a 22 min, and I hit a road block because the video was longer than 10 min. So what I ended up doing is splitting the video into 3 parts and adding them all to a play list so that when one video finishes the next starts.
Unpacker
If you have ever found some code that was packed by the packer. Then I have made a unpacker for the code. The code look a little weird but most (99%) is still valid JavaScript. Check it Out
Quotes
I have another app up on Appjet all ready. It is just a list of quotes that can be added to any site with Javascript. Check it out.
Appjet and Agrid
I have found a new way of doing small simple web applications. It is through a web service called Appjet. Appjet host web apps written in JavaScript, they have made there own little way of doing thing but it works out well enough to make something worth while. To try out there system I made a simple ads grid (you and someone else trade ads on your web sites(s) to get more views). It is about 90 lines of JavaScript, and from the test that I have run, it works well enough to maybe drive a few more viewers to your site.
Net DataBase in javascript
I do not know who cares but I have had this for some time. It is a small network database in JavaScript. It is base on Taffydb. It syncs the data through the freewebs jjax base shout box system. I do not know what the limit is on the data base, I think that at some point freewebs would turn of your shout box but I do not know. I have a demo here. Your name is enter in to the data base. You could also use globalStorage to save some data on the clients computer. Because all of the data is over HTTP Get request I think that each cell would have about a 500 bite limit.
Welcome
This is my new web site and it is under construction currently so check in back later because I am working hard to get this site ready. At this point I think I will end up writing all the code myself because I have not found a CMS that I like.
