Changes afoot(er)

I’ve been tinkering in the footer of this site a bit, check it out and let me know what you think. Nothing major, but I’ve…

  • Added some shadows to make the footer appear “sunken”,
  • Added some neato jQuery so you can collapse the footer if you’re not interested,
  • Added icons next to the header of each block.

When I get a chance I’m going to make another version of my current sidebar lifestream that will accept iCal feeds and create a simple, combined feed so that I can include Upcoming.org, Facebook and Meetup.com events in my events feed as well. That is all, carry on.

Slinky, a PHP class for URL shortening/lengthening

A few weeks ago, I tweeted that I was writing a PHP library for shortening/lengthening URLs using some of the common/popular services. I said it was going to be called Slinky, and that it’d support a bunch of different services. Well, it’s now available for download and I think it’s pretty cool, even if I do say so myself 😉

Please grab a copy, try it out and let me know what you think. It hasn’t actually been used for anything useful yet, so I’m also interested to hear what you’re using it for!
