Pretty simple script, check it out in action at http://download.askthefool.com/music. Regenerates a playlist everytime the file is called, and redirect the user to the playlist. This way I can upload a song, and it will be added to the playlist of all the music in that directory. I know it works with winamp, the rest [...]
http://pixeldiffusion.com/count The number of posts broken down by hour since October on this weblog. It shows that I am so much more a night person.
This is probably well over my league of skills, but I guess it’d be pretty interesting if I were to get it working. Step 1) Rewrite Othello: the AI foolishOthello currently implements, is pretty basic now that I think about it. Nearly 3/5 times I beat it whenever I play it. Definitely some new algorithms [...]
I know your not as excited as me, but I can finally transfer pictures directly to my computer without having to go downstairs on someone else’s computer. For some reason Windows 2000/XP have a glitch with Tyan dual processor motherboards, thus both USB channels don’t work. I read up some ways to fix it, and [...]
Burned another hour or so but finally I’ve made a layout that I somewhat like. I’ve gone through nearly a dozen layouts this past week, but hopefully I won’t get sick of this by tomorrow morning. I combined the search engines for this weblog and my photoblog, so searching for a common term will return [...]
Back when I really got started with this whole Web mess, I learned how to build database-backed websites. However, it was always assumed that these sites would be built by having a bunch of code on the server which generated pages for the user on demand by calling the database. That was simply how such [...]
I didn’t like my other layout too much, mainly because it was very messy and not exactly browser friendly (which I realized after looking at it on a mac). This should be a bit nicer, and easier to read hopefully. Not exactly eye candy but it’ll do for now. And now a search engine!
The weblog features are pretty much the same, just a different look. But on top if you notice, added a photoblog. Just as the name implies it’s a photo gallery. I’ll add commenting features as I get time, but as for now it’ll do. The new link is http://sbs.askthefool.com (Just letting those that still read [...]
$result = mysql_query(“SELECT parent,MAX(id) as id,count(*) AS num FROM fft_comments group by parent ORDER BY id desc LIMIT 5″); This query gets the data for the “Recent Comments” section on fft.askthefool.com. The point is to get the last five unique parent based comments and count the number of posts for that parent in the entire [...]
Some dicks that apparently are easily amused signed me up for spam mail on a variety of porn sites. All of a sudden instead of the under 5 pieces of junk mail from companies like Ebay and Paypal that send mail weekly, I’ve started getting dozens of Viagra, “hot and under 18”, and other such [...]
If you want to have people download music from your server either zip it or force it to download. Don’t allow the clients browser to decide how to handle the file type. If you use apache, and easy way to force download is add something like this to the .htaccess file. Keep in mind that [...]

Whats with all these people who use free hosting and complain about it? I mean if you have 56k I can understand why, but if you have broadband why do you need to use free hosting? All you need to setup your own website at home is webserver software, and your computer. For webserver software, [...]
Here’s what I’d like to see: a system that delivers an email for one cent. Nobody has to use it, but if you want to get your messages through, you pay one cent and the system delivers it for you. Every spam filtering system on earth can safely whitelist all email that comes from the [...]
All the other languages I’ve worked with except C++ have checks for ambiguous inheritance. For example, if a class inherits two other classes in which both have a member function called which have the same name an ambiguous reference is created. That took me forever to figure out. I was trying to overload the board [...]
