I wanted a celldweller wallpaper, but couldn’t find one I liked, so I decided to make one.

Finally finished my remix of The Longest Road. Took me a while to finish, but I think it turned out pretty decent :)

Tweetments

Okay, here it is… Tweetments. Yeh, the name rocks. I came up with it all by myself :P . This is a PHP script/plugin-type deal that lets visitors to your blog comment on your posts using nothing but twitter hashtags. The hashtags are generated by using the bit.ly URL shortening service to get a unique hash for the page you’re using Tweetments on.

Using a simple PHP include() and a link to the CSS file is all it takes to set it up. You can, if you wish, go into the CSS file and change the look and feel of the script. To install, all you have to do is place all the files in the directory of your choice, and then place the includes…

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tweetments.css" />
</head>
<?php include_once('tweetments.php'); ?>

…in your blog where you’d like the comments to appear. You will need CURL installed on your server to use this script. You may want to include this script towards the end of your page, as there is quite a performance hit when GET requesting up to 100 twitter avatars. I’ll work on caching these beasts in future versions, but as of right now, I don’t have a clue on how to do it that would work across different server set-ups.

The code looks a little hideous, but I’ll dress it up when I get the time.

Hello world!

Yay! It’s alive!

Just moved my entire site (what you’re looking at RIGHT NOW) over to WordPress.

It looks swish :)

My old site is at liamanderson.co.uk/old if you care to see my old design and web 2.0 service mash-up extravaganza.
