One of those days (in a good way)

Or sometimes the bread falls butter side up.
I'm down in Pacific Grove to be exact) and I just got home from the Feast of Lanterns. A 101 year old tradition that's a lot of fun. Tonight there were some really nicely down fireworks and we all had a great time.
I decided to slog away on my recent project which has this feeling of 'near infinite' amounts of work to do and it was as if the gods of Plugin development were smiling on me. About a dozen things all of a sudden 'snapped' into place and this thing is almost beginning to work in a, you know, useful way.

A few new things
July 13 2006 , 22:02 | Permalink
I've been playing with a few different projects
recently... I thought it was time to point them out
to anyone who reads this (which, you know, including
my mom is two people)

- I've added a handy google search bar to let you search the content of the web site. Go forth and Google!
- I've begun to play with Javascript a little
bit. I've honestly never spent much time with it
but it's sort of fun and there are some cute things
you can do with it. For example you can look here
to see a small script that opens your flickr
photos in an external page
- Thirdly, I've released a plug in for
iMediaBrowser that adds your delicious bookmarks to the
browser. It's not complete and this version
will time out in early August (I just want to
make sure everyone gets the final version) but
give it a spin if you like. One caution: Due to
the way the RealMac guys implemented the browser
it doesn't work in RapidWeaver but it does work fine
in Sandvox and in anything else that
uses this fine media browser
- Finally, I've been playing with Sandvox API.
It's really nicely done and you can do quite a bit
fairly easily. My first effort is a plugin that
adds a new pagelet type "Google Related"

Markdown

I've been playing with John Gruber's Markdown syntax a bit recently.
It seems like a pretty slick solution a number
of problems with writing for the web.
What I like about it best is how it sort of 'just does the right thing' (from my point of view). The input text is how *I* would write it and the output is about what I would expect.
Of course it's not very Maccish. Sort of more unixy in feel but I wonder how many people think it's a interesting way to write web pages.
If you are intrigued let me know!
