Kirjoitin tuossa yleishyödyllisen classin php:llä joka hakee uusimmat kuunnellut biisit last.fm Audioscrobbler xml-feedin parsimalla. tuna (kirjoitetaan aina pienellä) osaa myös tietojen cachettamisen, eli siis välimuistiin kirjoittamisen käyttäjän haluamaksi ajaksi käyttäjän valitsemaan kansioon.

Tämä on lajissaan ensimmäinen vapaan lähdekoodin projekti minulta, joten tietty uusi saavutus tämä on. Lisenssoin työn Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike-lisenssillä, joka on myös Audioscrobblerin käyttämä lisenssi tarjoamalleen tiedolle.

Pitemmittä puheitta tunan löydät Subversion repositoriosta osoitteessahttps://svn.assembla.com/svn/tuna/ ja bugit yms kivat voi lähettää minulle (ja kaikille muille jotka haluavat osallistua kehittämiseen ja ylläpitoon) tunan Assembla-profiilinkautta.

Same in english: I released my first open-source (I guess you can spot the license above) for you people. It’s a php5 class that helps you retrieve last played tracks from last.fm and display them on your site nicely. It also does caching. If you find bugs, please report em, the addresses can be found above.

My first own functional python script is ready. It’s a simple game.

If you have pointers how to make it better, please do write em. I’m eager to learn.

# -*- coding: cp1252 -*-
import random

running = True
r = random.randrange(65,90)
r_chr = chr(r)
while running:
	print "Numeric value for ASCII '" + r_chr + "'?"
	try:

		a = input("Your answer: ")
		if chr(a) == r_chr:
			print "Correct! " + r_chr + " is", a
			running = False
		else:
			print "Wrong... Try again."
			running = True

	except NameError:
		print "You didn't provide a good numeric value."
	except KeyboardInterrupt:
		print "Shutting down..."
		running = False
		quit()
	except:
		print "Something went wrong..."
		running = False
		quit()

The game: Learn the numerical values of ASCII uppercase letters. — Why? I don’t know.

The 5th day after reading first things about python, 2nd day actually learning and writing it.

Over 9 months of work has now been released to the public. Some tweaks here and there, few things that should be fixed (live coding is always fun), but we’re getting there. I’m proud to say this is all done by me, this has been more of a journey to become better developer and php coder.

But the details; Street team² is a 99% re-write of the old version that was released 1.1.2007, 330 days ago. All +250 members and +500 reports (of which 450 were approved by the administration) were ported to the new version without any loss of data. There are numerous improvements, including more professional and cleaner look of the whole site.

Funny thing is I’m already planning next version.

You might remember (or not) a script I created to test out website backgrounds.

Yesterday, I had some spare time and guess what, wallpaper.darkbase.org was re-coded to 1.5 version.

I’ve been collecting logs for the project since it first started and I’ve been amazed how well and how much it has been used. Thank you all who has been using it.

HotLinking is something that shouldn’t be done, but if you don’t have any other choise, I won’t deny it. Just keep in mind that I’m not responsible if your images change or do not show anymore. You just have to relink or find a steady host for the couple of kilobytes worth of image.

Anyways, something extra sweet was added to the system, now you can check how the background works with black, or white backgrounds. All this has been done by using simple javascript.

Enjoy.

Another project of mine is seeing the daylight.

I love watching movies and believe me, I do alot of it.

I sometimes watch 3 or 4 movies in a day. Because I watch that much movies, I started thinking I should have somekind of list of movies I’ve seen and might even have some star-based rating system to separate the bad movies from the good ones I might watch again sometime later. This was the key idea behind Movie.

[insert screenshot] Movie v.2 has been under development for over 4 months and it contains over 1700 lines of code. I’ve used it mainly to develop my PHP-knowledge and programming skills.

I would like to thank Tomi for his aid on the coding and Jani for helping out with the design :)

I’m presenting to you; The Robot!

Meet Robot, the talking robot. Here’s a robot that says randomly things. Clever, ain’t it? You can add your own thoughts to power it’s random selection of thoughts.

All the images should be packed so the load times should be small.

You can take part in this project and add your random thoughts to the Robot’s database!
