I found a jquery plugin that puts your Flickr public feed into your website. Shoutout to the developers of this fine plugin! Now let’s get straight to the code: This is how you call the plugin: $(‘#gallery’).jflickrfeed({ limit: 14, qstrings: { set: ‘72157624900621129’, nsid: ‘7375559@N02’ }, itemTemplate: ‘<li>’ + ‘<a href=”{{image_b}}”><img src=”{{image_s}}” alt=”{{title}}” /></a>’ + […]

Twitter feed (blogger.js) not working . . .
[UPDATE] As of June 2013 – This no longer works, am sure there is a workaround but I have little to no time going around trying to fix this so instead, I’m going to hang it up and use Twitter’s official widget (which I should’ve done from the beginning) – https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timeline If you have used […]

Blackberry Jam
If you are wondering about the title of this post and if you guessed the smartphone instead of the substance you spread on a pb sandwich then you are correct. Yes, RIM might be flailing and kicking but they have just booked the Four Seasons in Vancouver for a day to host this event (probably […]

Habits and Data
I have been reading the Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and have been gaining insight into our behavior and why we do the things we do. Humans are habitual creatures and apparently, we go through the majority of our day by relying on our habits – though it seems like we are making multiple […]

Printer problem
My trusted Canon ip1500 finally broke down after several years of being my sole printer so I had to resurrect my Brother MFC-240C multifunction printer which I was basically using as a scanner. I had to order ink cartridges from Amazon ($7) – cheap! But when they arrived, I found out that it was printing […]

Intro to Javascript Objects
I have recently signed up for a class in Web Analytics at UBC. I think it will greatly complement my knowledge in usability design and will improve how I produce websites in the future. I haven’t really had much time to study user behavior in the past aside from the usual A/B testing so it […]

Stop Internet Censorship!
If there was any doubt that big business controls the government, there shouldn’t be any after 2 bills – SOPA and PIPA are about to pass in US Congress and the Senate. These 2 bills are so obviously drafted by big media companies in order to protect their copyrighted content in an attempt to eradicate […]

Using Google Feed API to parse external RSS/XML feeds
Recently, I have been tasked to parse an XML/RSS feed using only client-side code. As the website is being migrated from Apache to IIS, it is difficult to settle on which server-side code to use (asp.net or php or python) thus the reasoning behind using pure Javascript/jquery for the task. At first, I thought that […]

Using jParse to post-process an XML feed
I have used jquery to parse XML in the past for simple tasks. But rewriting the same code every time gets tedious and cumbersome. So I have resorted to using jParse – which is a freely available plug-in especially made for this task. The plug-in works great straight out of the box and you can […]

HP Touchpad overclocking, tips and tricks!
[Update]: On Oct 18th, HP released an OTA update to version 3.0.4 which renders most of the patches and the overclocking non-operational. However, the update seems to have made the Touchpad more responsive and speedier. It also included a Camera app for taking images with the camera that works better than other free 3rd-party apps.
