Another open system bites the dust. Well, maybe I am caving in a bit to the wiki url spammers but as it is the sites we set up are completely useless wikis as they pile up with pages of links to URLs with names so horrific I get a slimy feeling just reading them. Thanks […]
It’s been a while since I browsed some of the new electronic portfolios that have been growing this semester on our Maricopa eP site. But I am liking what is starting to pop up… Dale Doubleday, our Ocotillo ePortfolio Action Group co-chair, has had her ART289 (Computer Illustration) students post to their ePs examples of […]
Over the waters at Auricle, Derek again provocatively asks who will drive the next wave of learning technology trends: In my recent Auricle article A filling station model of e-learning? I suggested that integrated mobile multimedia players and communication devices could be the ‘googly’ which catches advocates of centralized e-learning solutions unawares. So are the […]
Ouch, my blogging fingers are rusty. Among tweaking and updating many of our project web sites this week, an inordinate amount of time has been spent: * cleaning up the droppings we find on our wikis (Thanks for all the potted meat food product shipped directly from Southeast Asia- love those links). * sorting through […]
Surely of interest to no one, but I’ve been fortunate to enjoy a rather lazy extended piece of time, 6 days wrapped around Thanksgiving at our Arizona mountain hideaway in Strawberry (yes readers, Arizona is not a swath of Arabian windswept desert, but have places with trees and weather). I had sworn our elevation was […]
Scott Leslie recently wrote about using Rollup to put together a super feed of his favorite educablogger’s furl and deli.icio,us feeds: lots of folks have separate Furl and del.icio.us sites/feeds. I’ve been subscribing to one or two of them in the past, but wanted to get all the ed tech bloggers’ bookmark feeds in one […]
Our system is somehow involved with this but I cannot quite figure out what it is or does.
flickr foto dog-truckavailable on my flickr Another one for the Cut Outs Flickr Group — emphasizing the blue door in this shot in Rawena, NZ. It was really the color of the door that caught my eye while enjoying a “flat white” at the cafe, worth setting off as a “cutout”?? Still, it takes a […]
I’ll take one of these, please. You can have a lot of faith in the sensible writing of Danny Goodman, who long ago for me threw all kinds of new light on HyperCard, and later JavaScript… My job in this book is to translate the gobbledygook spouted by all sides of the email wars into […]
Via open artifact cam this link to MovableBlog’s Integrating del.icio.us with PHP and Magpie describing a way to embed the output of your del.icio.us links in a web page. As always, there are many paths to the same destination.
As frequent readers know, this can be achieved via the JavaScript approach using our Feed2JS service or standalone code. Of course there is a round trip delay for this as a PHP script must be called which then fetches a fresh feed from the source (or loads a cached one). Or maybe JavaScript is just too clumsy for your tastes,
If you are on a PHP capable server, you can install Magie (which you need to do with the approach described via MovableBlog), but if you also use our PHP version of Feed2JS you can achieve the same effect.
The advantage of our approach over the one described above is that it can be repeated quite easily just by creating new shorter series of include statements. For example, below I will use it with my del.ici.ous RSS feed, but 3 weeks ago I used a different set of parameters to the same code. Feed, Rinse, Repeat.
