Hi Brendon,

I had exactly the same idea while sat in a meeting today. There were two clocks on the wall and they were both different. Although digital clocks have their place, it would be nice to still have the mechanics of an analogue clock while keeping an accurate time from the internet.

I look into it as it ties closely with another project I'm working on, I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the info. The api calls list is pretty useful.

I managed to work out a script that uses a data feed to submit blogs to wordpress via xml-rpc. People can find more details here:

plonk: Disable the Security Component in CakePHP only for Certain Actions

thx for your article.
in some cases you can just turn off parts of the security component, f.e.

$this->Security->validatePost = false;

There is a plugin, yes. I believe I mention it in a comment somewhere here and an updated edit to the article itself...

Brendon Kozlowski: Creating an array of date time values via PHP

nospam@example.com (Brendon Kozlowski) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 07:15:39 -0700

Thanks, Annan! Since DatePeriod and the OOP Date methods in PHP were somewhat "new" when I wrote this post I didn't want to use them, I was opting for PHP4 compatibility. Although I've long since upgraded to PHP 5.x, there are still some issues to be had with using the OOP features of the Date classes.

For instance: http://us.php.net/manual/en/class.dateperiod.php#102841

However, I do humbly thank you for providing the code! In truth I wasn't aware of the DatePeriod object until you commented. :)

Brendon Kozlowski: SWFObject 2.x and Zoomify

nospam@example.com (Brendon Kozlowski) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 07:11:56 -0700

Yeah... I'm pretty sure Zoomify is more concerned with their zooming technology than anything else, though I don't understand why they wouldn't take the time to just update their code. I guess their mantra on that would be "don't fix what isn't broke", even if it can be a problem to others.

IIRC I did email their support team with a link to this article in order to update their code. I could be mistaken... Oh well. :) Glad it helped you out!

Hi jamminjames, sorry for my really late response. I get so much spam on this blog I often times miss actual comments and loathe having to go through the comment approval process. :P

The password info should not be any different. It's the user account information you'd be using (one that has permission to create a blog post).

As for your T_INCLUDE error...it sounds like you have a syntax error somewhere. If you've doctored up your code at all, try simplifying it back down first and work your way back to more complicated code (if you're new to PHP anyway).

Umm... Well I'm glad it helped you to complete your script, but parsing and copying a DOM doesn't let you copy anyone's database.

Brendon Kozlowski: WiFi controlled Wall Clock

nospam@example.com (Brendon Kozlowski) — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 06:58:58 -0700

I'm surprised no one has made one yet with an Arduino kit. I looked last night. Closest I could find was a homemade "wireless" (radio waves, not 802.11) clock that was similar to the $7 ones you find in Walmart.

I'd imagine the schematics could be adjusted to work with a wireless receiver, but I'd unfortunately have little clue on how to go about doing that.

Thank you for the the easy explanation....

Daghead: WiFi controlled Wall Clock

nospam@example.com (Daghead) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 10:21:49 -0700

I was just thinking about this. I would never have a wall clock at my own house, but the restaurant I work for has two cheap analogues. Obviously they eventually go slow or fast, and the batteries run out and become confusing. Someone I know told me about a conference room full of problematic analogues showing the world's times just to look fancy.

Someone needs to invent a digital clock that kills all of these problems once and for all for ~$50. The most expensive component would be a cheapie keyboard so one could press "passkey", punch in the target wifi router's passkey, and press enter. If its digital, it can also display "battery low" in the corner for a few days before replacement is needed, and shut right off when performance would become dodgy.
