]]> The Duct Tape Programmer - Joel on Software http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2009/09/23.html Jamie Zawinski is what I would call a duct-tape programmer. And I say that with a great deal of respect. He is the kind of programmer who is hard at work building the future, and making useful things so that people can do stuff. He is the guy you want on your team building go-carts, because he has two favorite tools: duct tape and WD-40. And he will wield them elegantly even as your go-cart is careening down the hill at a mile a minute. This will happen while other programmers are still at the starting line arguing over whether to use titanium or some kind of space-age composite material that Boeing is using in the 787 Dreamliner. 2009-10-01T21:18:58Z ERSWeb software, this, work, building, hard

]]> Manipulate images from WordPress post’s content with Regular Expressions » Matt Varone // Matt Varone http://www.mattvarone.com/wordpress/images-post-wordpress-regular-expressions/ A couple of months ago I got requested to deliver a website that would let the client publish online brochures. These brochures featured image slideshows with a description text, tags, categories etc. Many of us use WordPress not only as a blog platform but also as a multifaceted CMS. There are many features WordPress give that go beyond the blog format and that with the right adjustments and/or plugins, can be used to provide a complete solid solution. Thats why we choose to build this up on WordPress. At first I look around to see the wp plugins available but found that none of them suited the needs of this project. I wanted to keep this very simple and easy for the client, so the best solution I came up was to let client dump any image he wanted in the post’s content-box and deal with it later with regular expressions. This way I could manage the content and present it in a good looking slideshow I could style myself. 2009-08-26T09:37:23Z mozkart wordpress, slideshow
