ML-1710 & Tiger

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005

Has anybody gotten their Samsung ML-1710 printer to work with Tiger?
I’ve installed the drivers from Samsung’s website (for Mac OS X 10.3), but they do not seem to show up when I add the printer.

Textile 2.0.8 & WordPress

Tuesday, April 26th, 2005

Since the server this is running on was upgraded to PHP 5, the old Textile 2 plugin no longer functioned.
I have updated this plugin to use version 2.0.8 of the TextilePHP class. Thanks to Adam Gessaman for the original plugin.
You can download textile2.0.8-smartypants.zip or textile2.0.8-smartypants.tar.gz.
Note: This was updated from Adam’s 2.0.3 plugin (not the [...]

Tiger: First Impressions

Monday, April 25th, 2005

At first, I must admit that it doesn’t seem like there is a whole lot new. Spotlight is neat, but I already had much of that functionality with Quicksilver. Dashboard is a good idea, but I’m not sure I’ll work it into my daily routine quite yet.

Xanga RSS

Monday, July 19th, 2004

I always had a problem with Xanga RSS not working in NetNewsWire.
So I hacked up a solution in the form of a php file:
<pre><?
$f = escapeshellcmd($_GET["q"]);
$g = shell_exec('curl -s http://www.xanga.com/rss.aspx?user='
. $f . ' | sed -e "s/<rss version="0.91">/'
. '<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/'
. '02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns="'

echo $g;
?></pre>
And then I just call the [...]

Photostack

Saturday, July 17th, 2004

In case anybody was wondering how I’ve got my Photos section setup:
I’m using a modified form of PhotoStack 2.0b13 that uses cruft free URL’s. Feel free to use my differences or get the whole thing. Note that you will also need to make a .htaccess in your directory to setup mod_rewrite. The [...]
