Adsense Earnings To RSS, version 1.1

In: , , , On: 2006 / 04 / 24 Short URL: http://ozh.in/cw

It was quicker than expected, because a kind reader was too impatient for an update so he fixed the script himself :)

Thanks to Chris Gibson, my Adsense Earnings RSS Feed is now version 1.1, which is compatible with the recent changes Google made with the query parameters. Thanks a lot Chris !

WordPress Functions Reference

In: , , , On: 2006 / 04 / 24 Short URL: http://ozh.in/cv

I knew about the excellent WordPress Xref (read: cross-ref) maintained by Owen Winkler. This is a cross reference of all functions, variables and constants used and defined in WordPress, which provides worthy help when coding things in or for WordPress.

I just found about Functions, another project from the same man, which adds a handier way of searching WordPress functions with a suggest feature. Really neat.

I Raised Funds

Two days ago, there was a nice surprise waiting for me in my inbox : a notice from Paypal telling me that someone had tipped a few bucks in, using my Paypal "Sponsor me I'm doing cool plugins" button (which appears only on plugin pages, if you want to try it:)

It's been the first donation I've had so far for any of my WordPress plugins, and I can tell you it feels like a warm pat on your shoulder. It definitely made my day :) Thanks you Amit !

Adsense to RSS Problem

In: , , , On: 2006 / 04 / 23 Short URL: http://ozh.in/ct

My Adsense Earnings to RSS script has stopped functionning a couple of days ago, since Google modified the pages my script parses to generate an RSS feed.

Stay tuned : I'll update my script later on within the next few days when I have a moment. Sorry for the inconvenience peeps !

WordPress Plugin : Your Youtube Favorite Videos

In: , , , , On: 2006 / 04 / 21 Short URL: http://ozh.in/cs

My Youtube Favorite Videos is my latest plugin. Err widget. Well, actually, plugin and widget. Plugget. And guess what, it displays your latest favorite videos from Youtube, right on your blog. Yes. I know you love it already.

Get it.

Los Ochentas (“The Eighties” in spanish). All the hits you had forgotten, on Youtube. Memories :) (0) «
Some guy had a fun idea : modify his wp-comments.php so this file would write back 47 MB to spambots that try to POST something into it. Waste of bandwidth or ultimate answer ? Apparently he got completely rid of spam in a few days :) (3) «

Last.fm Stream Ripper

In: , , , , On: 2006 / 04 / 18 Short URL: http://ozh.in/cp

I just found about last.fm-ripper, a Perl CPAN module that saves last.fm radio streams to individual mp3's. How cool does that sound ? The readme even says that with a proper MP3::Tag module, mp3 files are saved with correct ID3 tags, which I haven't tried yet.

Usage is cake easy. Once the archive untarred, you just :

< View plain text >
code

  1. [ozh@BOX ~/last.fm-ripper-1.2.1]$ ./last.fm-ripper -u yourlogin -p yourpass -a metallica -o /home/ozh/mp3/ &

Sounds great, except that mp3 files generated on my box seem empty. Got to play a bit with this :Þ

Last.fm’s player really badly needs an extra feature : a “ban this artist” button, right next to “ban this track”. Like, it makes sense I have to click every time on this button every time I hear Moby in the “Similar to Metallica” station. Moby, damnit. What the hell does it have to do with Metallica ? (2) «
