Burn bootloader for Arduino Duemilanove w/ Atmega328 using avrdude 5.10

This is using a new Arduino Duemilanove board with a regular Atmega328p, with no bootloader. I wanted to do the BitBang mode, since I didn't want to get or make anything else, and the ArduinoISP, I didn't have access to another Arduino. So I pieced together 3 different guides, I finally got it working. This [...]

Widget A Day: Take 2

Since I'm bored, and some of my old widgets have had some feature requests, so I think I'll try Widget A Day again. I'm going for at least 14 widgets, so 2 weeks, some being updated versions of the older ones. It would most likely start the beginning of next week. (Edit- not happening this [...]

Paintball Headlines Theme

I said I would post the theme for headlines when I thought it was acceptable. There are still problems, but whatever. Anyways, this theme is based upon this tutorial theme, but changed to have multiple author support, support tags and categories, and be a double right column instead of a column on both sides. There [...]

WordPress Widget-A-Day

I've been wanting to do a 'Something-A-Some-amount-of-time', and since I just made a WordPress Widget, which is pretty easy, and with WordPress 2.2, widget support is available by default, I decided to do a 'WordPress Widget-A-Day'. Over the next week, though I'll probably start today, so I guess it'll have 4 extra or maybe just [...]

Simple XML is Simpler!

Genius! Sucks that it isn't for PHP 4. For this site, at the moment, I'm forced to use PHP4, since PHP5 breaks permalinks for WordPress for some reason. It's not WordPress's fault, though. Just the crappiness that is this shared hosting. Anyways, I've used SimpleXML for most of XML parsing in PHP. Mainly for the [...]

Fun with Digg's API

Digg's api was released about a week ago a while ago, and since that time, various flash projects have surfaced, probably due to that pesky contest. But I don't have any flash experience, so PHP, here we come. We're going to make various tag clouds, a Reddit clone, Reddit/Better RSS feed, and a live diggs [...]

Acunetix

I brought out Acunetix to test the script that I'm writing. It's a pretty noisy web vulnerability scanner that tests for XSS, SQL Injection, server vulnerabilities, and other things that just shouldn't be around. I'm not going to reveal too much about my script, but it consists of a user system, private messaging, posting with [...]

Netfirms Friendly Url Fix

So I was searching around for Netfirms plus some other terms and happened across this nice thread. The third to last post shows a nice, simple fix for it, just edit your .htaccess file with this code: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c%gt; RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php [...]
