Centerflow has been a work in progress for months now. I’ve gotten a good amount of feedback who like the tool, but have trouble installing or configuring it. Ever the problem solver, I decided that the next step for centerFLOW was to follow Wordpress’ lead and offer the web application as a service for people to signup and use, instead of downloading and installing

Feel free to signup at Centerflow Signup

Before, the Projects and Messages model were using scaffolding. I’ve changed it so that the Projects model can now edit, merge and delete properly. Deleting a project will also optionally merge tasks into the parent project (unless, of course there IS not parent project)

Messages no longer use the scaffold page. I jacksoned the Message listing so that editing messages happens inline, much in the way tasks are edit.

Speaking of tasks, priority is finally in place. It can be done through each projects dropdown menu. There’s a link to “Reorder Project” where the tasks can be re-ordered with some sweet drag-n-drop action.

Enjoy.

It all started with BaseCamp. I had our development team using it and it really revolutionalized our development process. It got so good that it was time to move on from our little free account to a full blown one. I pitched the idea to my boss, but she was cautious about so much of our information being on someone elses servers. I guess I got inspired, since I went ahead and did my best to build my own. Centerflow is now up as a demo and for download, so please try it out. It’s my first released project so I would love a lot of people to try it and give me some feedback. Thanks!!

centerFlow is a cool project management tool for development. It keeps track of your projects and tasks, and allows you assign them to users as well as mark their progress until completion. It can be used for development projects, or any kind of project that suits your needs.

CenterFlow uses cakePHP, a PHP-based MVC framework. It also uses the Prototype and Scriptaculous libraries for javascript. I also jacksoned my own tree class using said JS libraries.

Anderson Coopers “360 Raw Politics” is not very good.

What’s up with the cookie height and width you say? At first load, i use Javascript to grab the size of each visitors viewing window and store it in a cookie. I then refresh the page. The cookie values are passed to my background generation function which: picks a random image, and resizes it to your specific size. The filepath in the below example is just for show, it gets more specific, especially if you are using WordPress. For the “showExtension” function, go to Google and enter “php showExtension”. It’s located on that first page somewhere.


function background_name($width, $height)
{
$dir = 'bg';
$files = scandir($dir);
$valid_extensions = array('jpg', 'gif', 'png', 'bmp');
foreach ($files as $filename)
{
$filepath = $dir.'/'.$filename;
$tmp_ext = showExtension($filepath);
if(in_array($tmp_ext,$valid_extensions))
{
$backgrounds[] = $filepath;
}
}
$rand_key = array_rand($backgrounds);
$filename = $backgrounds[$rand_key];
list($name, $ext) = explode('.',$filename);
$ext = strtoupper($ext);
$bg_file = "$name.$height-$width.$ext";
if(file_exists("$bg_file"))
{
return $bg_file;
}
else
{
createbg("$filename","$bg_file",$width,$height);
}
return $bg_file;
}


My createbg function takes an image name, a desired new name, and the size to change the image to.

/*
Function createthumb($name,$filename,$new_w,$new_h)
creates a resized image
variables:
$name Original filename
$filename Filename of the resized image
$new_w width of resized image
$new_h height of resized image
*/
function createbg($name,$filename,$new_w,$new_h)
{
$system=explode(".",$name);
if (preg_match("/jpg|jpeg/",$system[1])){$src_img=imagecreatefromjpeg($name);}
if (preg_match("/png/",$system[1])){$src_img=imagecreatefrompng($name);}
$old_x=imageSX($src_img);
$old_y=imageSY($src_img);
$dst_img=ImageCreateTrueColor($new_w,$new_h);
imagecopyresampled($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$new_w,$new_h,$old_x,$old_y);
if (preg_match("/png/",$system[1]))
{
imagepng($dst_img,$filename);
}
else
{
imagejpeg($dst_img,$filename);
}
imagedestroy($dst_img);
imagedestroy($src_img);
}


And there you have it. Random backgrounds that are resized to your visitors window sizes. This is probably going to take up a lot of space in my directories, so if space is important for you, you might want to just use the random part.

The following comes partially from the archetype, but mostly from my own dealings with ENFPs.]

General: ENFPs are both “idea”-people and “people”-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of “help”) and be liked and admired by other people, on bo th an individual and a humanitarian level. They are interested in new ideas on principle, but ultimately discard most of them for one reason or another.

Social/Personal Relationships: ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to the more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality. They are outgoing, fun, and genuinely like people. As SOs/mates they are warm, affectionate (l ots of PDA), and disconcertingly spontaneous. However, attention span in relationships can be short; ENFPs are easily intrigued and distracted by new friends and acquaintances, forgetting about the older ones for long stretches at a time. Less mature ENFPs may need to feel they are the center of attention all the time, to reassure them that everyone thinks they’re a wonderful and fascinating person.

ENFPs often have strong, if unconvential, convictions on various issues related to their Cosmic View. They usually try to use their social skills and contacts to persuade people gently of the rightness of these views; his sometimes results in their negle cting their nearest and dearest while flitting around trying to save the world.
Work Environment: ENFPs are pleasant, easygoing, and usually fun to work with. They come up with great ideas, and are a major asset in brainstorming sessions. Followthrough tends to be a problem, however; they tend to get bored quickly, especially if a newer, more interesting project comes along. They also tend to be procrastinators, both about meeting hard deadlines and about performing any small, uninteresting tasks that they’ve been assigned. ENFPs are at their most useful when working in a group w ith a J or two to take up the slack.

ENFPs hate bureaucracy, both in principle and in practice; they will always make a point of launching one of their crusades against some aspect of it.

Another one:

ENFPs are friendly folks. Most are really enjoyable people. Some of the most soft-hearted people are ENFPs.

ENFPs have what some call a “silly switch.” They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Som etimes they may even appear intoxicated when the “switch” is flipped.

One study has shown that ENFPs are significantly overrepresented in psychodrama. Most have a natural propensity for role-playing and acting.

ENFPs like to tell funny stories, especially about their friends. This penchant may be why many are attracted to journalism. I kid one of my ENFP friends that if I want the sixth fleet to know something, I’ll just tell him.

ENFPs are global learners. Close enough is satisfactory to the ENFP, which may unnerve more precise thinking types, especially with such things as piano practice (”three quarter notes or four … what’s the difference?”) Amazingly, some ENFPs are adept at exacting disciplines such as mathematics.

Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone , especially on a regular basis.

One ENFP colleague, a social worker, had such tremendous interpersonal skills that she put her interviewers at ease during her own job interview. She had the ability to make strangers feel like old friends.

ENFPs sometimes can be blindsided by their secondary Feeling function. Hasty decisions based on deeply felt values may boil over with unpredictable results. More than one ENFP has abruptly quit a job in such a moment.

As a new programmer, I was confined to command-line scripts and printing to file. NO LONGER! With web pages I can create something completely accessible. With AJAX and my 2 favorite libraries Prototype and it’s sexy little sister Scriptaculous I can create pages that are friggin cool. I’m currently working on new order pages for Lunarpages. Wait until I’m done. You will be impressed.

EDIT
Moo.fx is nice too.

Also downloading ‘wifi-radar’ in adept or synaptic should help too.

An anonymous reader writes “‘Nobody likes false starts’ - claims the assertive and risky article “10 Reasons Why High Definition DVD Formats Have Already Failed” published by Audioholics which outlines their take on why the new Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD formats will attain nothing more than niche status in a marketplace that is brimming with hyperbole. Even though the two formats have technically just hit the streets, the ‘Ten reasons’ article takes a walk down memory lane and outline why the new DVD tech has a lot to overcome.”

Call me crazy, but I agree. I, personally, am in no rush to run out and get these new players. I don’t even have a HDTV yet. I think it’s a great idea to get better quality, but I wonder how well it will appeal to the masses. As the article says, the main advantage of CDs & DVDs was the ability to quickly access the content in the middle of the movie or album and that there’s no need to rewind. HD-DVD or Blu-Ray will still have this, but they will look better. Not sure that this is enough. I think it will take a while for it to catch on.

Illegal Immigration

I hate the fact that the House & Senate are debating on “Illegal” immigrants. People aren’t illegal. Very few people in this country have ancestry from this country; almost all of us are descended from immigrants. So who are we to try to prevent other people from doing what our parents and grandparents did for themselves. All of the immigrants have come to this country to improve their station in life. It’s the american dream, but the government wants to prevent people who aren’t american from partaking of it. I think this is wrong. We’ve put limits on the amount of people we “accept” from each country, and countries in bad shape, like Mexico or some parts of Asia, have been denied access for years.

My solution is this: Let them in. What’s the worst that could happen? We document them, like we used to do on Ellis Island, and we wish them luck. We can then gain their tax money and stop wasting money to “defend” our borders.

Rap Music

I hate Rap Music right now. So much of it is completely inane. So many of the rappers on the radio are not clever, nor unique, and sound just plain stupid. And when did a life of crime become a prerequisite to rapping. There’s that song by Chamillionaire called Ridin’ Dirty. It’s basically about how he hopes he’s not caught by the police with drugs in his car. I’m tired of the only role models for young people being amoral rich(Paris Hilton), crazy rich(Tom Cruise), or criminal rich(Rappers). When my younger cousin declared T.I. to be an educated rapper, I almost flipped. I’m very very sad about the state of the popular rap music on the radio now. Very sad.

Compare old vs. new.

But you probably want to know how I did it.

1. Write an RSS Parser. This was probably the biggest part, but also the most interesting. RSS feeds are very complex, so I had to interpret them in many different ways. When it was of type RDF I was able to strictly use the DOM functions that are built into PHP 5 to read them.

   case 'rdf:RDF': #Stupid RSS
     $title = $dom->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue;
     $link = $dom->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue;
     $desc = $dom->getElementsByTagName('description')->item(0)->nodeValue;
     break;
   

   When it was an ATOM feed it was a little more tricky because so many sites’ feeds are uncompliant. I had to triple check to get the link back to the homepage. A like so…
   

   case 'feed': #ATOM
     $title = $dom->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue;
     $link = $dom->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue;
     if($link == '')
     {
       $link_list = $dom->getElementsByTagName('link');
       foreach($link_list as $link_node)
       {
       	$link_type = $link_node->getAttribute('type');
       	$link_href = $link_node->getAttribute('href');
       	if($link_type == 'text/html')
       	{
       		$link = $link_href;
       		break;
       	}
       }
      }
      $desc = $dom->getElementsByTagName('tagline')->item(0)->nodeValue;
      break;
   

   Regular RSS feeds were the easiest to read. I even got to use the xpath functions of the DOM XML module. Piece of cake, really.
   

   default: #Nice RSS
     $tmp_title = $xpath->query("/$type/channel/title");
     $title = $tmp_title->item(0)->nodeValue;
     $tmp_link = $xpath->query("/$type/channel/link");
     $link = $tmp_link->item(0)->nodeValue;
     $tmp_desc = $xpath->query("/$type/channel/description");
     $desc = $tmp_desc->item(0)->nodeValue;
     break;
   

   
   The next part of the parser is arguably the most important step, actually reading the feeds. I accomplished this by getting all of the “stories” from the rss
   

   function get_items($dom)
   {
       switch($this->feed_type)
       {
         case 'feed':
           $item_name = 'entry';
           $desc_name = 'content';
           break;
         default:
           $item_name = 'item';
           $desc_name = 'description';
       }
       $items = $dom->getElementsByTagName("$item_name");
       $item_list = array();
       foreach ($items as $item)
       {
       	$title = $item->getElementsByTagName('title')->item(0)->nodeValue;
       	//First Try to get Link
       	$link = $item->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0)->nodeValue;
       	//Try again
      	    if($link == '')
      	    {
       	   	$link_list = $item->getElementsByTagName('link');
       	   	foreach($link_list as $link_node)
       	   	{
                      $link_type = $link_node->getAttribute('type');
       	   	    $link_href = $link_node->getAttribute('href');
       	   	    if($link_type == 'text/html')
       	   	    {
       	   		$link = $link_href;
       	   		break;
       	   	    }
       	   	}
      	    }
      	    //Last try
      	    if($link == '')
      	    {
      	    	$link_node = $item->getElementsByTagName('link')->item(0);
      	    	$link = $link_node->getAttribute('href');
      	    }
   
       	$desc = $item->getElementsByTagName("$desc_name")->item(0)->nodeValue;
       	$hash = array(
       	       'title' => $title,
       	       'link'  => $link,
       	       'desc'  => $desc
               );
            array_push($item_list, $hash);
       }
       return $item_list;
   
   }

Error
Line 120 column 29:
element “SCRIPT” undefined.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

You have used the element named above in your document, but the
document type you are using does not define an element of that name.
This error is often caused by:

• incorrect use of the “Strict” document type with a document that
  uses frames (e.g. you must use the “Frameset” document type to get
  the “<frameset>” element),
• by using vendor proprietary extensions such as “<spacer>”
  or “<marquee>” (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve
  the desired effect instead).
• by using upper-case tags in XHTML (in XHTML attributes and elements
  must be all lower-case.

✉

This one is complaining because the word ’script’ isn’t all lowercase. I also got an error because the opening tag is SCRIPT and the end one is script. Consistency is key when developing code, but
some mistakes are simply too small to pay attention to. I don’t find the worth of it anymore.

Error
Line 240 column 17:
there is no attribute “style”.

	<p><embed style=“width:400px; height:326px;border:5px solid #567;” 

✉

This one is because the Google Video in my blog has a style attribute. This is ridiculous. Cascading Style Sheets(CSS) are a wonderful tool, no doubt, but they are not always supported. And in this particular case, Google wants to make sure that when I’m posting their content, it looks how they want it to look. I support that. If I had content that might be posted all over the internet, I would want to take steps to make sure that the users of said content would not change the style and sully my reputation. It’s a perfectly reasonable use of inline style. This is similar to XHTML complaining if I put a “name” attribute in something that usually doesn’t have a name attribute (such as a table cell) I had to rewrite an entire function using the HTML DOM object, once and it wasn’t pretty nor a very effective use of my time. On a side note, Microsoft has finally released a “DOM Inspector” for Internet Explorer called “DevToolbar” which is integrated reasonably well into the browser. It can be found here:
Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar.
Another third party tool is here:
AIS Web Accessibility Toolbar

Granted these are very small things, i’ll probably fix them later, but i’m not feeling the use of making such small changes. It’s just silly and its hard to me to really WANT to fix these “problems”

Nobody Move or the i’ll shoot the bunny

It’s so good. They land the plane in Las Vegas. On the Strip. Awesome. Completely awesome. Nicolas Cage grabs his daughter’s bunny out of the storm drain. Awful completely awful. Dave Chappelle is in it. Awesome. He falls out of a plane. Awful. Steve Buscemi plays cannibal who sings “He’s got the whole world in his hands” as the plane is crashing. John Malkovich plays Cyris the Virus, the leadConvict with an insanely enormous vocabulary. Awesome AND Awful. A plane was “tug-boating” a car. Amazing. John Cusack hotwires a car. Awesome. Cage uses a tractor to escape crossfire and melee. Awful. Completely awkward family ending. Awful.

Does this make Jerry Bruckheimer a genius or an idiot? I can not tell.

Good Changes

• Coolio (Artis Ivey, Jr.)
• Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson)
• Ice T (Tracy Morrow)
• Meg Ryan (Margaret Mary Emily Ann Hyra)
• Albert Brooks (Albert Lawrence Einstein)

What’s the point?

• George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair)
• Jamie Foxx (Eric Bishop)
• Mariah Carey (Maria Nuñez)

Overall, most of the changes seemed to take a pretty normal name like Andre Benjamin and make it flashier, like Andre 3000 or a foreign sounding name like Ramon Estevez and turn it into an “American” sounding name like Martin Sheen. I would have preferred it if all of the people on this list had become famous with their real names, so young girls could look up to Maria Nuñez and nerds could pine for Natalie Hershlag.

Already skeptical, i’m enamored by his genuine italian accents and he tells that if he’s here for

“How you say, exhibition?”

and since he didn’t sell these coats, his company is giving them to him. He doesn’t want the coats, of course. He wants to do me a favor and sell them. What a great guy, right? Yeah…

So he proceeds to show me these GREAT “Armani” leather and suede coats. One thing bothers me though. They don’t say armani anywhere. It’s more like A Collezioni.. It also says ‘made in italy’ all over the lining. So he tries for 500. I say 200. He says he’ll give me 3 for 200. I say cool. I’m thinking that I might be able to sell it on Ebay and make a profit. We travel to Bank of America to get some cash. I get the cash but somethings telling me not to do it. So I ask to see them again. I say,

why don’t you just put the coats in a suitcase?

Of course! He’d have to pay extra for that. I look at the coat one more time. It’s such a nice coat. Sigh. I say
“Why doesn’t it say armani?” His reply: “There are 5 armani collections. Georgio Armani, Emperio Armani, Armani Exchange, [some other armani] and Armani Collezioni” I say “But I haven’t HEARD of Armani Collezioni” He huffs and says, “Fine, then…..”

So I finally get back to work and come to find there IS an Armani Collezioni. That’s even the name of their main website. I still think the stuff was counterfeit though. Why wouldn’t Armani put their name on the label? And shouldn’t I be able to find these coats on the web site? I don’t know. I guess there’s a price that comes with dressing nice to go to work. People want to sell you armani coats out of their Pontiac Torrents…

EDIT
This is the most popular page on my site, but unfortunately, I am not a private eye. I do not have anymore information about supposed armani counterfeiters besides what i’ve already written.

Definitions of witness on the Web:

* someone who sees an event and reports what happened
* spectator: a close observer; someone who looks at something (such as an exhibition of some kind); “the spectators applauded the performance”; “television viewers”; “sky watchers discovered a new star”
* testimony by word or deed to your religious faith
* be a witness to; “She witnessed the accident and had to testify in court”
* (law) a person who attests to the genuineness of a document or signature by adding their own signature
* perceive or be contemporaneous with; “We found Republicans winning the offices”; “You’ll see a lot of cheating in this school”; “The 1960’s saw the rebellion of the younger generation against established traditions”; “I want to see results”
* (law) a person who testifies under oath in a court of law
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

I will focus on the first, and most used in my opinion, definition. A witness is someone who gives an account of what happened. My first responsibility as a Christian is to act as a credible witness for Christ when his validity, deity, and relevancy stand trial. My goal is to remain a credible witness, because many trials end up skewed on account of false witnesses. It is to remain as holy and loving as possible, to let his light shine through me.

My job as a Christian is to give an account of what has happened since Christ came into my life. My duty is to refute an accusation of , “Prayer doesn’t work.” with a direct rebuttal on how it has has worked in my life. My goal is to commend a proclamation of “God is good” with the true statement, “all the time”. My task is to deny an assumption that religion is not important with a detailed testimony of how, in fact, it is. My resolve is to expose the truth when the perception is cloudy.

My stance is simple:

• God does answer prayers
• God does save marriages
• God does deliver from drugs and alchohol
• God can deliver me from poverty into prosperity
• God will relieve depression
• God is relevant in this day and age.

These are the facts that I want to convey as I live my life as a full-time witness.

What is mine? It’s a fear of failure. A need to succeed. A goal of perfection. A choice to change. A desire to be the best I can be, and a sinking feeling that I could actually be better. A sincere hope of changing the world, one soul at a time, and a deep guilt of not doing a good enough job. I need to prove that I AM good enough; that I AM capable, and I AM worth it. The knowledge that His grace has claimed me and his mercy sustains me. A love so strong that I’d do anything to make her happy, and a plan to spend the rest of my life pleasing one woman. A joy so deep that even in conflict, the teeth of her grimace remind me of the teeth of her smile; which brings me to a smile and promptly destroys any chance I had at winning the argument. A hope so unfulfilled: my success has not been experienced by as many as could enjoy it.

What is your motivation?

One the good note, the analog spectrum that currently broadcasts TV channels will return to the US government which can then sell it and make a bunch of money on it. Oh joy.

Don’t fret about getting a new TV yet though. It seems that if you have cable or satellite you are probably ok. And if you are browsing the internet reading blogs on television, i’m guessing that you’re not rocking B&W screens and that you don’t have to switch from VHF to UHF when you want to watch the spanish chanel.

Clips from Gorilla Mask

My last quarter in college was a blitz of mounting responsibility and difficult classes. I served as Administrative Lead on this project, a php driven content management system. I led in the development of the XML parser and creation of the XML schema that we used to hold our data. "Most" of the functionality still works and I left the layout as is.

After graduating from college, my girlfriend and I found ourselves applying to many jobs, but we had no good way to keep track of all our applications and dates of applications and emails, etc. I rehashed the Content Managent management system to keep track of this data for her. It served it purpose very well, as we were both able to keep track of the places we had applied and pull up contact information if we needed to contact anyone.

 The system uses an XML backend of my own design to keep track of the data. It uses PHP to process the forms and to parse the XML file for changes. The primer CSS is of my own design as well.
