Jeffothy’s Keyings

There are a number of things I’m playing with these days.

Hills of Japan

I’m still putting the finishing touches on the Hillsofjapan.com site adminstration web app that I built. I spent some good time on it last week and I want to get it running/to production very very shortly.

Server Rebuild

I still haven’t loaded all of my MySQL databases from my backup, to the newly built Fedora Core 5 install.

Primus VOIP Extension

I’m hacking at some JS and XUL to get an extension for firefox to work in conjunction with my phone provider’s (Primus’) portal. It will eventually detect phone numbers on web pages, and make them clickable. When I click on a phone number, my phone would ring, and when I picked up my phone, the phone number I clicked would be dialed (it would be ringing already).
The hard part is done, but I basically have to work out the https logging in, and URL requests. Make sure that it is ll behind the scenes, seemless and transparent to the user.

Slipstream

A while back, I spent a bunch of time making a slipstreamed XP disc for my parents PC. Yes yes, I’ve done many rebuilds recently, but I got the slipstreamed disc updated, so my parents machine was easy.

MSN Spaces Integration

I set up a blog at MSN Spaces. Why? So that my MSN user icon would get a little star by it when I posted to my blog. I use wordpress installed on my own server… so I set up a MSN sync plugin to allow my wordpress blog to ping (XML-RPC) the MSN Spaces blog when I post new entries… works!
