Drag it to your bookmark toolbar and click it while on YouTube to get a prompt of the open video’s ID. Of course, it returns nothing if you aren’t watching any videos.
This is really only useful when you’re adding videos to a CMS that accepts this sort of data, so, you know, uhh… Hi!
I made this this morning and am very pleased with myself.
What is it? It’s a bookmarklet to have my favorite robot, RoBump, walk across your browser! Drag the link into your bookmark toolbar like I have to enjoy it wherever you are on the internet!
Notes:
Lastly, this post marks my 100th post to this site, so I guess I’m, like, officially a blogger now. Or something.
As I develop a site or app, I tend to keep notes on what I’m doing and what I need to do next hardcoded into it somewhere. When I complete a task or think of a new one, I manually change the HTML to reflect it.
But wouldn’t it be better if those notes were kept in a form with a “Save” button so if I had some sudden inspiration I could write it down without having to dredge through the code or even open up my FTP client?
Yes! Yes, that would be better slightly!
Enter Dev Notes, a PHP-based, in-site, cross-page text form for development notes. It is free and open source. Use and modify it however you like!

Because this is really just meant for developers, if you’re going to add it to public pages, you’ll want to hide it from visitors who oughtn’t be seeing it. Keep that in mind!
Also, this uses Google’s AJAX Libraries API to import jQuery. If you’d rather it use your site’s version, you’ll have to modify “devnotes.php.”

Dev Notes is written in PHP (which will obviously need to be installed on your server) and jQuery, with help from Klaus Hartl’s jQ Cookie plugin.
All right, if you use it and like it, let me hear in the comments, and if you have any strong critiques or opinions, I’m all ears for those too!
I posted this on the Something Else forums long ago and forgot about it…
Also, this marks the first time I’ve ever posted two things on the same day, rather than just waiting till the next day to post the next thing. This was too awesome for that.
Also, also, this blog has been around for over two years. Crazy.
Also, also, also, hi!
The New Movement Theater is an improv and stand-up workshop venue in Austin, TX, run by Chris Trew and Tami Nelson.
This is actually the third incarnation of TNM’s site. The first was somebody else’s design and static code. The second was their design and my code, ported to WP. This one is my design and my code (but made to work with a logo made by Sarah Price).
Yay!
My friend Kris recorded this screencast of his iTunes Rhythm Heaven plugin playing some Musical Gold.
Trippy!
Glad I decided to drop a little color onto the scan.
In other news, I’ve been busy with some WordPress coding/designing gigs, which I’ll blog about soon. Sorry I haven’t been posting as much!
After a couple months of work and a last minute (but much needed) hosting switch, my latest project has been unleashed upon the internet. Say hello to Studio8.net’s brand new, WordPress-powered site: http://www.studio8.net/

From this original, blurry pic of her cat, Remi:
More precisely, this tutorial covers how to exclude categories on paged front pages, index.php, beyond the first default listing.
Excluding certain categories from the front page is a pretty easy task, just use the query_posts() function to remove those categories before going into the loop, like so:
[php][/php]
But if the visitor tries to see the next set of posts through “Older Entries,” the same results are queried. Instead, use this:
[php][/php]
We can tell query_posts() which set of posts to display with the paged parameter and the $paged variable, a WordPress variable which returns the current page number (1 for the first, 2 for the second, and so on).
