Mobile blogging

For a Lot of People it might Be an old Story, but I just discovered the possibilities of the XML-RPC-Connector in my wordpress-blog.

It Makes editing so much easier on the Train or at the Next Break. Just open an offline-editor (I am using the wordpress-app on my iPod) And Start happy editing.

The only drawback is the Auto-Text-correction, that I have Not yet managed to Turn off and that more than once translates a Perfect english word into German garbage…. But that’s not wordpress’ fault, isn’t it?

I store the images from my digital camera on a local machine at home. But retrieving images is a somewhat painfull thing for everyone else than myself (that is: especially my better half (-; ).

So after some research I didn’t find something that met my requirements

  • easy
  • reads from folders
  • runs with PHP
  • allows to select images for later batch-download
  • batch download for the selected stuff

So I created a small application to display images from existing folders without the need to import stuff manually.

To use the script you need a current Zend-Framework installed in your phps include_path.

The script can be found at Github

Barcamp Darmstadt

This weekend I will be attending my first BarCamp ever!

On the 20th and 21th of November Darmstadt hosts the second BarCamp at the Rhine-Main-Region. And I will be one of the about 300 people attending.

And to make that BarCamp more interesting to the PHP-Community, we try to coordinate a complete track on PHP-related sessions. Being a novice to the BarCamp I want to give a session and choose to introduce Zend_Form as it is one of the components of the ZendFramework that makes my life as Developer easier every day.

So let’s see what the weekend brings!
