Days of Code: Perl URL Shortener
Today I got some work done; I didn’t get anything on my list that I made yesterday done, however I did experiment with jQuery (the Javascript library)… and now have an easy-to-use listing mechanism (to see the sum of all URLs in the database and the viewers logs). Take a look . With that you may notice something… I repurposed my ‘ol Brad-Zone.com domain name — it is shorter than bradarsenault.com (17 vs 13).
I’ve updated the project page at Code >> Perl URL Shortener with today’s code.

Days of Code: A Perl Uploadr // Day 3
about 7 months ago - View Comments
Today was rather hectic; exam preparations (actually, there was some Perl and Apple Script involved there!), some homework, and …. life…. I will return to Perl code tomorrow. Just thought I’d update to say that there was no update. Tomorrow will be back to routine of my Mon->Fri-ness so there will be ample time to

I was writing my update to my Perl uploader project for today when it dawned on me that my writing syntax has evolved. I saw that in place of the usual — I began to use almost a year ago has been replaced by // which isn’t just present in my Tweets and blog posts,
Days of Code: A Perl Uploadr // Day 2

Today was an unproductive day, as you can see from my submissions of the day, or lack there of. The sum of all the time I’ve been able to allocate to this has been about an hour, but I’m in no hurry to rush this. Later will be the testing time when this file probably
Code: Add sites to Social Links [UPDATE]
about 9 months ago - View Comments
[UPDATE] Changed base URLs for yFrog and TwitPic in the code. And edited the name of the yFrog image. Since I’ve launched the redesigned BradArsenault dot com, I’ve been using a WordPress plugin called Social Links to show my social links (such as to Last.fm, Digg, Flickr, etc.) and this is how to add services

This AppleScript provides a simple function, if you need to show pre-determined text on your screen in a noticeable way, Quicksilver’s ‘Large Type’ function is great. This script allows you to enter the sets of text you need to show in the code then run the script to select the bit to show. To close

As noted in an earlier post I’ve been working on a script which will get the latest Webkit (nightly) build and automatically install it, delete the old file, mount/unmount the dmg, then delete the DMG…. Here is the code (I will release the timer function code soon): on run getwebkitURL() set webkitURL to the result

Leo Laporte has an AppleScript he uses to time himself out for his weekend radio show as the show is syndicated and if he continues past a certain time will be cut off by commercials, and so wrote an AppleScript, hotclock.scpt, it uses Quicksilver for notifications. I thought this would be of use for any
