Alex Tew created his new project – Pixelotto. I’ve tweaked original MDHP scripts to produce Pixelotto versions of the graphs as well: Blogging activity graph: Traffic graph (by Alexa.com): Sales progress graph: Animated sales history: I hope this time I’ll be given some credit over these graphs if they’ll be used on Alex’s site.

Today is a TechPresentations day – I published two presentations about Google infrastructure systems (an overview and BigTable) and one about Ubuntu Linix by its founder, Mark Shuttleworth who sold Thawte to Verisign and became second space tourist (I thought he was first).

I fixed annoying bug in XML::RSS::LibXML which rendered multiple tags as one tag with value of ARRAY(…). It was most often seen when multiple categories were assigned to feed item but affected all duplicate tags (I fixed similar problem specifically with enclosures earlier). Hope that will not break feeds any more.

Just a note: I didn’t see any records in access logs on old server for a while and disabled all fetching on old servers as well as web site instances. It should not affect anybody except those site owners who’s feeds fetcher was double-crawling – now it’ll only do it once. Let me know if…

As many of you noticed, there were several registration-related bugs. I fixed most of them yesterday/today but if you still have troubles registering or logging in, let me know and ‘ll try to fix them ASAP. I’m really sorry that users were trying to register but failed to complete the process and went away. To…

I moved Feed Friends (and Feed Preprocessor) to new faster server. It was planned for a while and I was setting server up but today I finally moved it. I updated DNS and I hope you will not see any glitches but in case you are still directed to old servers, you’ll have Access Denied…

It might sound strange but I’m not only doing computer stuff (although it takes most of my life) – today I published my first instructable – Party top-hat made of playing cards. I’ve been collecting playing cards for a long time and being interested in DIY (being subscribed to MAKE Magazine was probably my biggest…

Apparently some links got broken because I used pipes (“|” symbol) to separate fields, it also refused to accept lattitude and longtitude if zoom and type were missing (because of a broken link). Both problems are fixed now, it’ll also override links once it loads. Also, Jeremy Zawodny didn’t like AdSense banners and he’s right…

Google maps vs. Yahoo! maps tool got some links in blogs starting with the review of Flickr geotagging by Thomas Hawk (who also posted a link in TechCrunch story comments). Looks like people liked it because it also made it’s way to Mashup of the day on Programmable Web.

After all the development (and not as much testing ;)), I desided to open up preprocessing configuration tool. This part of the interface allows you to control how feed items get processed for you and there are currently 6 modification modules: Link from description (regex) – useful when feed owner is putting a link to…
