Akismet for Spam Comments

Obviously, I haven’t been posting on this blog in a while. Who has time when the world is coming to an end? In any case, imagine my surprise when I found out my itsy bitsy blog became a haven for comment spammers. I even got a little bit of nasty post fodder for my spam apathy.

Bloglines Yahoo! Widget - Bloglines Feed Reader

March 14th, 2006 · Posted in Tools, Reviews, Software · 0 Comments

The Bloglines Reader Yahoo! Widget makes it easy to keep all your RSS subscriptions up to date right on your desktop. I was looking for something so I could quickly keep track of updates to my feed subscriptions directly from my desktop without needing to open up a web page or seperate program. I had tried the gdRSS Reader plug-in for the Google Desktop Sidebar, but it locked up the side bar at times and I had to enter each RSS feed by hand. Both of those issues turned out to be way to frustrating for me to keep using the plug-in.

This has been very useful, but I’ve always wished it could be a bit easier than typing <tag></tag> around each keyword I’d like to tag. Well, now there is an easier way that integrates directly with the Wordpress post writing page.

PHP Object Generator

December 23rd, 2005 · Posted in Development, Database, Tools · 0 Comments

I found this searching for ‘development‘ tags on Technorati, and it looks very promising. It’s a very simple interface to generate PHP objects quickly and with integrated CRUD methods. Which is an obvious headstart in developing PHP applications. I made a sample object for a table that would hold the post information for a simple content management system.
