Code Snippet: Remote filesize function

Nevertheless, I wanted to create something regular on my blog to liven it up a little, so I went for "Code Wednesday". It may not take off but I will give it a try. For the first one, here is a little script that I found extremely useful, it allows you to retrieve the file size of a file located on a remote server using a HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or FTPS URI, quickly and easily. This is useful because the PHP filesize() function does not always accept HTTP wrappers. Code (php) function remotefilesize($url) { $sch = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_SCHEME); if (($sch != "http") && ($sch != "https") && ($sch != "ftp") && ($sch != "ftps")) { return false; } // Error: unrecognized URI sc...

2007-07-23 02:40:00 Flock, the web browser that I originally thought imitated Mozilla Firefox to add new features such as uploading pictures to photo sites, advanced feed subscription, blog integration and safer searching has recently been updated. Flock is still in it's early stages, nevertheless, version 0.9 has been released to the general public and people are now beginning to see why it is called "the social web browser", take a look at some of these new features which point out just why so many people are using it as a social networking web browser: Receive updates when friends have new photos, videos or blog posts. Upload up to 1,000 photos at one time to popular photo sites. Drag and drop photos and videos from Flock's Media Minibar to email, comment fields, blogs, etc. Collect your favorite photos, videos, and text from the web and blog them instantly. Flock Dashboard, called "My World" is now live, supporting many social networking services, enabling you to access them all from one page an... More About: Flock , Version , Done

Pownce, the new social networking phenomenon
2007-07-07 11:24:00 UpdateCurrent number of Pownce invitations left: 19! Post a comment and I will send one your way. I have just been invited to join Pownce, the new social networking phenomenon which is beginning to replace Twitter. I absolutely love it! When I first discovered Twitter I thought that it was a good idea, but this just takes it to the extreme. Instead of just being able to send messages, like Twitter, you can send files, events and links. Pownce also has it's very own desktop application created for Adobe's brand new Integrated Runtime (AIR) platform. Pownce is very similar to Twitter but has some features that improve the overall concept. There is currently no public timeline though, so that can be a downfall because your messages can only be viewed by people who know your Pownce URL (so that would be your friends and anyone you have advertised it to). You can reply to individual messages to add your own views and comments on a message someone else has written, which makes it a litt...

2007-07-05 09:26:00 Haven't been posting much lately; too much stuff going on and just haven't had any inspiration, thus having not posted anything. This also means that K2 Explained releases have slowed down a little, but I haven't forgotten them and will be adding a few more articles soon. I am also in the process of creating a new WordPress plugin to check for updates for other plugins using a text file, check my projects page for more information. I have been tweaking a few things on my blog even though I have not posted. For example the 'Random' button above randomly selects a post from my blog so that you can discover old posts and read up on older subjects. Hopefully a few of my other tweaks (such as the date and mini-navigation at the top of the page) will be added to a K2 Explained article in the near future. Anyway, we all know that Internet Explorer has a tendency to mess up a web page by not showing it as many other browsers do, but this just takes the piss. When you first arrive on my...

Notations WordPress plugin
2007-05-17 20:16:00 I have just recently added a WordPress plugin, Notations to my blog’s Projects page. Notations allows you to add coloured boxes containing notes, warnings, errors, tips and information to your posts and pages. Each note has it’s own unique FamFamFam silk image and background colour. They can easily be added with only one line of code in your post/page. This WordPress plugin is still in it’s beta stages and I will be updating it frequently to accommodate more features and settings. If you find any bugs or need some help, feel free to use the Project Support form. More About: Wordpress , Plugin , S word

Crackdown update and downloadable content
2007-05-12 22:46:00 Realtime Worlds and Microsoft Game Studios weren’t joking when they said they had a lot of extra content coming up for Crack down. Yesterday, they released a Title Update along with two new additions to the Marketplace, the Free-For-All Pack (free) and the Gettin’ Busy Bonus Pack (800 Microsoft Points) which both add expansion-like content to the game. The Title Update adds these features and fixes to the game: You can now reset gangs/bosses. Orbs Audio is now louder as you progress. Perform a Ground Strike with 4 star strength rating. Firing/targeting has been improved. Fire hydrants easier to smash. Stunt Rings are now easier to spot. Explosions can be seen from afar even if the day is dull. Ramp truck issues fixed. Camera enhancements. Player to player precision shots. Free-For-All Pack which can be downloaded for free from the Xbox Live Marketplace contains: Cheats can be enabled in the Keys to the City mode. Vehicles can be impounded into the Agency Garage. Co-ope... More About: Content , Down , Rack
World of Warcraft subscription
2007-05-10 20:29:00 I have just cancelled my World of Warcraft subscription and I am no longer allowed to logon to my account, therefore I will not be able to carry on with many of my World of Warcraft projects, including LevelRange. I will continue to give support for them but I cannot guarantee a 100% fix/working order for any bugs or updates. I came to this decision due to me neglecting to play World of Warcraft for over a month now and I don’t think that I will be going back to playing it for a little while either, so there really is no point in paying for it if I am not going to be playing it. It was a good game while the novelty lasted and I may think about returning at a later date, but I will not be even half as dedicated as I used to be, most probably playing just for fun and when I am bored.

Editing the K2 WordPress theme
More articles from this author:2007-05-05 15:51:00 You may or may not have noticed that I have been making some small tweaks to my blog to make it look that little bit more unique. I have been doing a lot of editing in the K2 theme department and nearly every plugin I have for this blog has been tweaked to be a little better. Hardly anything is the same as it was out-of-the-box. I do this simply to make it more user-friendly, readable, displayable and mostly to make it look the part. Some of these edits only change parts of the coding to make it quicker to load, thus making it less time-consuming for you, as a reader, to browse through my blog. Others are simply to change the output such as cases, to add punctuation and so on, basically anything that I think should be there that isn’t. I have made a few edits to theloop.php file within the K2 theme directory so that I can add the post ratings, views and some other small features. Currently the biggest tweak I have had to make would be to add those little icons you can see on t... More About: Wordpress , Wordpress Theme , Editing , Theme , Them 1, 2, 3, 4 |
