Hi Pascale,

Most were tight enough against the dowel, but I did have to adjust them from time to time. I would probably use wood glue if I made this again

Bitwarden has free and paid options, can be self hosted, and offers great sharing features for families or companies. It has great auto fill on mobile too. It will also alert you about breaches. I've used 1password, and LastPass, and bitwarden is way better IMO.

This could be called anywhere before the form is shown to the user a second time. In this example I did it as the form was being processed, after the token had been validated.

Hi Elizabeth,

I found the cat door at my local Lowe's, it's been a few years, but this one looks pretty similar: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Pe...

I'm guessing the thickness was around 1/8" but not sure. Most any thickness would likely work, but thicker will be more sturdy and expensive.

As I recall I used a drill and a jigsaw with a bracing board to cut the door shape out. Today I have access to a laser cutter and bandsaw so I would probably use those if I were to do it over. Also Lowe's or your local home store will generally cut any straight lines in the plexiglass for free, so you just have to get the door cutout done.

Hope that helps!

$1000 a month seems expensive. If people were renting by the hour, excluding insurance, and assuming an average of two hours per day rental time, six days a week, it'd cost about $20/hr. And that's with a no frills base model.

Re: Background Caching with the Transients API

$news is populated by the json_decode function, which returns it's values as an object by default. http://php.net/manual/en/fu... So in the code here, he's assigning a new property to the $news object. A good place to start learning about objects in php is here: http://www.php.net/manual/e...

Would it make more sense to refresh the data using the Cron API? IE set the transient to 24hrs but then add a cron call that fires off every 5 minutes. If I understand it correctly the Cron API fires off in a way that doesn't impact page load time (but I could be wrong!)

There's no need for an alternate handle on Twitter, that's what lists are for. I follow tons of people and use lists to keep track of different communities.

Re: How We Are Killing Facebook

nullvariable — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 13:58:47 -0000

Is it really that hard to write some personal notes? I manage not to ignore my event invites because I make a point of blocking people who consistently invite me to events that break your rules above. For me its important to engage with events using FB and I love having them show up in my Google calendar. Which is another thing that kills me events that span weeks at a time cover up my calendar even though the event is a nightly occurrence or a gallery showing or some such...totally useless to my calendar...

Re: Klout is necessary

nullvariable — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 16:59:07 -0000

I think Klout and similar tools are great as a resource, as a part of a whole process. But our society has forgotten how to do tough stuff. All we seem to do is chase things that are unsatisfying. Sorry just finishing "Drive" so it's bleeding out in to my thinking lately. What is cool is that people are actually starting to realize this and those like you and me who consistently seek to build relationships instead of just posting good numbers like a used car salesman will start to see others recognize the value in what we're doing. Those that don't see that are going to miss out!

Re: Klout is necessary

nullvariable — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 09:08:22 -0000

I get this but the whole gaming aspect will make this worthless. You see it on Google all the time now. Some people have figured out how to fake the indicators they use to judge relevance and so you see spam all over the searh results. The same is going to happen with stuff like this. I could easily build a couple hundred bots with fake profles to retweet me all the time and Klout would have no mathematic way to know the difference. I suppose hat using Klout as ONE part of your research could be useful but shortcutting the heavy lifting that taking a deeper look requires is a bad idea. It will be interesting to watch.

Re: Ditch the subdomain—stand out from the crowd

Totally agree. Most people don't think anything of spending around $12 a month on something and the investment is worth so much more if you put in the effort. Landing a new job because your blog looks professional is not such a novel thing anymore.

It tracks robots & people so anyone following the link from your page
or from elsewhere would count as a click. Unless your updates are
private they can show up in a ton of places outside of the folks
following you.

Re: Fixing security issues for Twitter

nullvariable — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:41:37 -0000

I'd agree but the horsepower to check links would have to be pretty high. I suppose that they could use a service like Google and FireFox are using and check the URLs against that but it seems like it takes too long for a site to get picked up by those filters. I don't know what the solution is but seems like both Facebook and Twitter need to really get on the ball or they're going to start losing people.

actually it's probably that it is so quiet on the weekends. less links flying around means more people clicking fewer links...

Re: Lessons of Interfacing with a Giant Corporation

nullvariable — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:07:19 -0000

People don't have incentives to help you inside big companies. They don't hold any stake in you as a customer. In a small business every employee is well aware of the value of the customer and recognizes (for the most part) that how they treat that customer very directly impacts their job. In massive corporations the employees are so far removed from being responsible that they really just don't care.

Growing a small business carefully is a great challenge. Joel Salatin has some great advice on the subject :)

Re: Free Marriage Coaching, an Idea and a Rant

Many people don't think that coaching is for them for some reason. We all seem to think that coaches are the angry guys on the sidelines of ball games but in fact there are many coaches behind a successful ball team. I guess most people are just not interested in making the most of life and are willing to sit back and wait for a blow out before they learn how to change a tire.

OK so I checked out this plugin but it takes 300 lines of code to do what I did in 30...granted a lot of that code goes to making it compatible with older version of WordPress (not sure why anyone in their right mind would be running an old version but that's neither here nor there). But it just seems like a lot of the code is useless. I'm reading up and seeing how hard it would be to add a checkbox to control the option.

I figured there was a plugin to do this but plugins have a lot more overhead than I wanted for this project...

Re: TwitViewer – How to Identify a Twitter Phishing Site

nullvariable — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:07:16 -0000

yeah, they can block the site from using the API but not from taking your password. There was some interesting stuff underneath that site going to other sites. Maybe Twitter can file spam black listing? or perhaps they could hit them with DCMA copyright infringement and get the site taken down?

It's a problem that's not going to go away unless Twitter starts becoming less popular
