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 [...]
I changed the location to ja.meswilson.com/blog/. Most of the old links should work and redirect here. I added the redirects in lighttpd.conf. I'll probably start posting more. Going to try to start doing some more online work, and I'll write about them or what have you. Also, new theme.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
So for some reason, friendly urls are broken. I mentioned earlier how to get friendly urls working on Netfirms, but now that is fucked up. Great Netfirms, keep sucking complete ass. For the time being, I've reverted back to the old style, however result in Google will still be messed up. Expect a rant about [...]
In order to get WP-Cache to work with an account on Netfirms, you have to go through a few extra steps. In order to do these, you need to have SSH enabled, and have some sort of way to connect to it, like PuTTY on Windows. First, download the wp-cache files and upload them to [...]
I needed to convert times from different timezone. Now, I could hack together something, like I usually do, but I decided to try to make my life easier. First, I found some timezone PHP script that amount to nearly 800 lines + 75 entries into a database, which also happened to be easily SQL Injectable. [...]
