FunkDaddy: "I wanted to look at the code of an AppleScript in the Scripts Menu. Normally, I would have to do this by navigating to the script in the Finder and opening it in Script Editor. But I took a wild guess and Option-clicked on the script in the menu, and it opened in Script Editor directly! This makes tweaking my frequently-used scripts really easy."

Replacing Perl Scripts with PHP Scripts

Replacing Perl Scripts with PHP Scripts 11/26/2002 05:12 AM
With the introduction of version 4.2, PHP has started supporting a new SAPI (Server Application Programming Interface) called CLI (Command Line Interface). This facility was introduced to help developers create small shell applications (scripts) with PHP. So, now you can kiss Perl goodbye forever. -- Jayesh Jain

Hear hear. Thanks to my influence, other developers at Natsoft are using PHP for their batch scripts too. Hmm maybe it is because they report to me...

More on RSS and gzip compression

More on RSS and gzip compression 01/04/2004 06:58 PM
Ted Leung follows up to my post from yesterday with more about RSS and gzip compression.

“So I’ve been looking at the statistics, and it’s not looking good out there folks,” Ted writes. “As far as gzipped feeds go, about 10% of the feeds in my NNW (about 900) are gzipped.”

Compression, conditional GET

Compression, conditional GET 07/19/2004 02:55 PM

Jason Cook writes for WebMonkey about gzip compression and conditional GET for RSS and Atom feeds.

Both are important for lowering bandwidth use. If I had to rank them, I’d say conditional GET is more important—but I find that there are lots of sites, even some very popular sites, that still don’t support conditional GET.

It looks like most (if not all) of the popular weblog hosting systems support conditional GET, which is very cool. It appears to be mainly custom content management systems used by one or just a few sites that tend not to support it. You can almost count on lack of support if the RSS or Atom feed is generated live by a script instead of being served as a static file.

(Note that I intend no disrespect for people and organizations that develop their own systems—I myself use a custom system written in PHP.)

RSS Bandwidth and Gzip compression

RSS Bandwidth and Gzip compression 01/03/2004 04:35 PM
There are several ways to cut down on the amount of bandwidth your RSS feeds use.

The very best way is to make sure your server returns 304 Not Modified responses. (See HTTP Conditional Get for RSS Hackers for more details.)

But today I’m talking about another method (which should be used in addition to conditional Get): gzip compression.

The idea is simple: the server compresses the feed before returning it to your newsreader. This means less bandwidth is used because fewer bytes are transferred.

One of the nice things about this is that if a given newsreader doesn’t support gzip compression, a server will return an uncompressed feed, so you’re not locking anybody out. But it turns out that lots of newsreaders do support gzip compression, so it really is worth the effort. (Ted Leung has been maintaining a list of which newsreaders support it.)

Today I (finally) turned on gzip compression for my feeds. (Here’s a handy page you can use to check for gzip compression on any URL.)

Since my feeds are generated by PHP, I used Dean Allen’s super-easy instructions for turning on gzip compression. If your feeds are static files (which is probably the best choice) then you can probably use Apache’s mod_gzip or mod_deflate.

script for easier zip compression 12/02/2003 01:47 AM
Anonymous: "While Panther's Finder's contextual menu allows Zip compression of files with its 'Create Archive of ...' this still requires bringing up the contextual menu, selecting the option .. and then 'cleaning up' the original file and newly created archive.zip. As Panther has the attached Folder Actions, I figured this could be used to shortcut the process and consolidate the file/archive within one place. Luckily 'Sal from Cupertino' picked up on my query in this regard, and provided the following script to compile with the AppleScript Script Editor."

RPM Delta Compression Virtual Update
Repository 0.1.1 (Default branch) 04/05/2005 06:32 AM
RPM Delta Compression Virtual Update Repository is an experiment to explore the possibility of significantly reducing the bandwidth required to apply updates to a Fedora installation. This software includes a server which provides a virtual update repository to clients such as yum, up2date, or other update tools. It also includes a utility to create and maintain a RPM delta repository. The server will attempt to generate the update RPM from a small delta file applied to a locally stored RPM from the original distribution.

Changes:
A few bugs in handling byte range requests from yum were fixed.

While the command line offers no GUI - no buttons or menus - you can perform powerful tasks from the Terminal, and, in many cases, do things that the GUI does not allow."

Robotics Society of America President and Robolympics founder David Calkins tells BoingBoing:

"While in Japan, I saw the coolest thing ever! Fighting robots. But not in the traditional Battlebots sense. Imagine rock-em sock-em robots, only fully articulated and computer controlled. It's called Robo-One and it's amazing. 15" tall androids belt each other boxing style until one falls down. These mini androids are as articulate as the Sony Curio, Honda ASIMO, or Fujitsu HOAP - only guys are making them in their apartments for about $3000, rather than 10 Million. I've uploaded a bunch of videos to give you an idea. Robolympics is sponsoring a Robo-One match in San Francisco in March - along with Battlebots, sumo bots, and others. Watch these videos!"
