SimpleSong 0.2
SimpleSong is becoming quite an iTunes competitor, in it’s own way. I’ve used it quite a bit myself, much more often than I thought I would. If you’re tired of dealing with a library, and want a library free music player with a minimalistic approach, lightweight, and close to zero startup time – this might…

CodeIgniter development site – on live environment
We recently had to set up a development site for an existing CodeIgniter site, and we wanted to do this effortless. Ideal would obviously be to have a separate virtual domain or a separate box but hey, “ideal” isn’t always ideal, heh. By applying the same principle as in our previous WordPress article on the…

It’s a communication tool, and we do believe the world needs another one of those. Mootly focuses on the ongoing conversation around a topic, with a group of…

Sing a simple song
If you’re like me you have a lot of music on your computer. You’re also fed up with maintaining a library of it all. Half the time I would just listen to music in Quick Look, if only it wouldn’t stop the moment I leave the finder. So this is as simple as it gets.…

html5 validation with(!) facebook opengraph
html5 is that new, cool(?) technology which you should(?) be using when making new sites. but, being the thorough developer you are – it just eats you up from the inside when your brand new html5 website won’t validate because your client decided to add a facebook like button. the facebook open graph protocol/namespace/api/whatever which…

Getting stats from the Facebook Like button your way
So you’ve implemented the Facebook Like button, and you’d like to know – programmatically – what your users Like on your site. This is a bit of a pain, since there’s nothing in the Facebook Open Graph for this. There’s some stuff in the insights api, but it’s not really usable if you’d like to…

developing a wordpress site on the domain it eventually will live on has plenty of advantages (and ok, a few obvious disadvantages not covered in this post…). no need to fiddle around in the db looking for hardcoded urls to the development domain name and when it’s time to launch – you don’t need to…

Overlay app
Selecting an image would in some projects be quicker if you actually could see the image in the context. If you’re making a magazine, a brochure or a web banner, the design could be pretty much set, and you just need the image to go with it. So, what Overlay does is to show your…

simple custom type
there’s a point in every wp project (almost) where i need something more than just posts and pages. like stores with longlat data, albums from an artist in the sidebar, etc. now, there are a couple of plugins that do this, like pods and flutter, but they both have their downsides (pods is complexity+doesn’t play…
