WordPress and MySQL: What’s Your Wordcount?

There’s been some talk on blogs about the average size of a Wordpress post. Some light has been shed that Search Engines will only weigh the impact of the first x number of characters, where x is currently unknown. As a result, anything after that is simply a waste of words.

futuristic user interfaces...

This is a very impressive overview of new user interface ideas. It's a fact that we
need new userinterfaces for all kinds of use cases - and as it turns out there are
unbelievable cool things going on in the UI research.

"Good user interfaces are crucial for good user experience. It
doesn’t matter how good a technology is — if we, designers, don’t manage to make user
interface as intuitive and attractive as possible, the technology will hardly reach
a breakthrough. To gain the interest in a new product or technology, users need to
understand its advantages or find themselves impressed or involved.

This weekend I was working on a project where we wanted to pull content from all over Smaller Indiana (built with Ning) into a central page. The Indianapolis Fringe Festival is full swing and Smaller Indiana wanted to help promote the event.

how to push an INN NNTP newsserver dump to a new newsserver...

I happen to have this ginormous archive from a local newsserver - more than 14 gigabytes

of text and more than 8 years of history. Now this archive is a dump from the INN

NNTP server that was previously used. It's one folder per newsgroup and one file per

article.

So I now want to integrate that archive into my own new newsserver - so what I am

going to do is: Writing a small client application that can push all the articles

from the folders to the new newsserver via nntp procotol.

Since the NNTP protocol is trivial to code and to explain I won't reimplement it once
again - instead I am going to use Randy
Charles Morins nice article about accessing NNTP servers with C#

Display your Most Popular Posts with Clicky’s API

One of the sessions I did today was on integrating external sites to your own site via API’s. Though the talk was supposed to be non-technical, I couldn’t help but dabble in the code a little. I wanted to dispel the myth of how difficult it was to connect to an external site and pull in data via XML. One attendee was kind enough to re-enact her facial expressions of confusion to me after the presentation (I wish I had it on video!).

read the MSDN Forums with a cool client interface

I often read in the MSDN Forums but I will read more often because now there's a client

application available:

"After many months of hard work we are proud to announce the availability of our

first CTP of the Microsoft Forums Client. Much of the work for this CTP is in foundational

code that will let us build the rest of the application, but we hope that this first

preview will let you see what direction we're heading in, and also give you a chance

to give us feedback!

Things that work in this CTP:

  • Getting the list of available forums

  • Subscribing to forums you're interested in

  • Manually (by right click menu) synchronizing the Question and General Discussion
