FotoBuzz for temx?

I should really look into setting up a simple way to interface to FotoBuzz.

New week, new luck ...

Apparently temx does supports XML-RPCs' newMediaObject now. There some major cliches with this method:

From all the tools I tested just a view support it at all. On top of that the type is not set right: i.e. BlogJet uses application/x-octet-stream, others even don't set the type at all. Consequently it is better to ignore that parameter and check the type ourself: more hassle ... unnecessarly.

XML-RPC for PHP updated

Just added a download section for temx here http://technotecture.com/?node=projects/temx/download. Listed there is an updated version of the XML-RPC library for PHP.

A very late evening test

Last software for today to test is BlogJet. All works fine. Now I can focus on a general code cleanup. Furthermore, that could provide a possibility to implement newMediaObject.

Experimenting around

Linux seems to be a bit deserted in terms of proper blogging tools. If this appears on the frontpage - gnome-blog seems to be working.

Another Bug

Found just another bug in the implementation of xmlrpc.php by Keith Devens - now it should work as expected. I will publish the bugfix today or tomorrow. Maybe it needs some more testing and polishing.

sketchand+ images updated

sketchand+ - one of my projects has been updated (just some more pictures). In the meanwhile I am looking into some issues with XML-RPC and the PHP implementation.

Next: getting ScripTAP cleaned up and running.

some todo list

  • remove the caching from SimplyBibTeX
  • clean up the interface/backend for temx - make it ready for production use, there is already one potential client!
  • get a new version of libTAP and ScripTAP out of the door.
  • some minor cleanups on the website here and there ...

temx heading towards version 0.1

Spend today to fix several issues with the metaWeblog API - its not yet complete but already usable. The main problem was a minor hickup within the XML-RPC implementation from Keith Devens (which is still a really cool thing). It assumes that strings always become encoded. Unfortunately that is not the case for metaWeblog API and I think also for other "blogging" APIs. Nevertheless, found and fixed.

Almost Everything Fixed

Just my machine is still broken, but at least I could fix the feeds and news section for the website.
