Google Latitude History

Darryl Clarke — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:16:36 +0000

Google latitude now gives you the option of enabling ‘history’ – you can enable it here. It’s kind of neat, and I can see it being somewhat fun to use if you go on long trips. I gave it a little test run while I was on the train back to Toronto the other day [...]

Fun things like a common background, task switcher and app folders/groups.

Typecasting with double-not (!!) vs. (bool)

Darryl Clarke — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 03:51:53 +0000

I was asked a strange question today. “What’s return !! $row; do?” And I had never really been witness to the syntax of the double-not ‘!!’ because really, to me, it’s a bit strange and contradictory for the coding styles I’m used to. So I looked it up a bit more to see if it [...]

Social Plugins and the 80/20.

I apologize for this off-topic rant, but it’s been sitting on my mind for a little while… The best part of using all these social plugins on a site as small as mine is how pathetic it makes the site look. I try not to pollute everything with ‘like this’, ‘share that’, ‘spam your friends!’ [...]

I’ve never really been a big fan of URL shortening services. My main reason is because you lose a bit of branding and URL recognition from users. Also the ‘memory’ factor. Users can’t remember shortened URLs, unless you have an awesome one like bit.ly/hangman. But now my real reason for disliking the shorteners is the [...]

Building An API…

Darryl Clarke — Tue, 04 May 2010 21:10:57 +0000

I’ve decided it’s important for me to be able to expand my trivia to many different platforms. Although it’s simple to just make it for facebook and call it a day, I think it’s something that should be more than that. So, I’m building an api for it. The game play api (as I’ll call [...]

A fun, quick, simple daily trivia game. Hopefully testing next week. One of my ever growing number of facebook apps

Now Testing: Let’s Go!

I pulled my little app, “Let’s Go” out of the sandbox and it’s workin’.. or so it appears. If you feel like playing around with a little Facebook App, then go for it. Let me know of issues here or on the application page.

Coming Soon: Let’s Go!
