- Four Darn you Daily Create sending me down a creative rabbits hole. Thanks. And I’m responsible for today’s challenge #ds106 #dailycreate #tdc1552 It’s 4/8/16 Make Art to Celebrate the Power of the Number 4 https://t.co/hMegpYbuET pic.twitter.com/SW4CiurJfC— ds106 Daily Create (@ds106dc) April 8, 2016 I look for patterns in numbers, and while loading future Daily Creates I […]
- WordPress Recycling of Daily Creates (not quite forking) It’s been too long since I blogged some WordPress code. That sounds like some sort of confessional. “Forgive my Ma.tt, for I have sinned, it’s been 34 days since my last WordPress post…” And this is something I did maybe back in January, something Mariana Funes has asked for a while for her to use […]

- Git Feed2js cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by rmelgares The next phase of closing down the Feed2JS service is done (the lights go out on the server by June 2, 2013). In a sort of reclaim effort, I moved the home of the code from Google Code to github. I am extremely […]

- Truth. Cats. Dogs. The internet giveth and provideth the truth. Need I say more? Via the stream of creative flow of b3ta which came my way via a message from @dkernohan who I only got to know via the network of ds106 which has so many via’s into I better stop.

- Rigging Up Chrome Search Shortcuts cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by Pink Sherbet Photography Summoning a deep toned Don Fontaine voice In a world of 140 characters… every keystroke, every picosecond saved counts. There is one who can get to their search results the quickest… There are times when it benefits you to be the quickest search […]

- That 70s Media It’s our last night of a weekend in Strawberry, and we’ve already burned through our rented DVDs. Reaching into the archives here, we’re watching All The Presidents Men on VHS. Beyond the fluffy 1970s hairstyles, I was struck by some comparisons waiting for the tape to get to the movie, especially as our viewing of […]
- One Click Install Wag I’ve heard raves and howls about Dreamhost for web hosting, but my experience so far as been stellar. I really like the one-click install / updates for WordPress; previously, the announcement of a new 0.01 update I might delay a few days, weeks to get around to backing up the database, de-activating plugins, backing up […]
- Frappr: Web Guest Book / Map Mashup on Steroids I’ve made us here (and there and there) of Clustrmaps, the free web tool that can pin your web site visitors to a map by reverse geolocation mapping of their IP address. It’s very cool, and has the great attribute of what I am attracted to in Web 2.0 land- it’s free, easy to set […]

- Captcha Spammers! Fugggedaboddit It’s a new spam free day for CogDogBlog and our other affiliated MovableType 2.661 blogs here. I’ve successfully integrated James Seng’s captcha plugin, so that all comment posts require a human to type in a randomly generated security code that appears on screen as a graphic image or ‘captcha’. Spambots cannot automatically read these, so […]
- SpamNymphomania My (non-)friends in the Texas Hold ’em camp are knocking about again. Shoot, maybe one of these days I may get around to learning this game of poker, though it surely will never be via one of their #$*@-ing web sites. These spammers are nymphomaniacs in the sense they just cannot seem to stop shoving […]
- Swirling Around with Flickr Tag Browser The Flickr Related Tag Browser is a cool way to surf and cross surf related tags within the vast flickr photo-empire. Flickr Related Tag Browser lets you surf Flickr’s ‘tag space’. Flickr tags are keywords used to classify images. Each tag has a list of ‘related’ tags, based on clustered usage analysis. Thanks to the […]
- I Like (Stealing? Borrowing?) Your Colors Do you like someone else’s web design color scheme? Curious as to what color codes are used? Try Red Alt – I Like Your Colors. Just enter a URl, and it fetches the colors used as defined in HTML or CSS (some sites seem not to give them up as easily, perhaps with the @import […]

- Copyright Lesson Activity Last week, we gave our online students an activity on Copyright and Fair Use: Do the Right Thing, which I have also recently posted in the Maricopa Learning eXchange: http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/mlx/slip.php?item=1264 The subject merits almost an entire course in itself, but we boiled it down to sending them to to excellent web tutorials: (1) Intellectual Property […]
