warrenshea.com – Updates

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012 at 3:20 am

I can’t believe it’s been 6 months since I updated this site and effectively left it (it doesn’t really require regular maintenance).

I need to update it with some of the things I’ve learned in the past 6 months. Fortunately, it’s pretty easy with the help of my accomplishments posts (which is at 49 now – at 2 a month, I’ve done 2 years worth of these damn things!)

I installed WampServer and MediaWiki onto my work sandbox server. Had to uninstall a previously installed PHP that was stand-alone installed (not through Wamp) and had no uninstaller. Ugh.
Had to go into the Registry Editor and change PHP’s php.ini location.

Re-learned a bit about Regular Expressions. Learned stuff in school but mostly forgot it all. Was able to remove all HTML comments from a thousand page site in a few minutes (don’t ask why). Hand to remove things like “Comments (142)” and “Comment (0)” and items of that nature. Probably thousands of instances, removed in seconds with Regular Expressions, prompting me to want to know them better. Seems like it’ll come in handy :)

Facebook API – JavaScript SDK/PHP SDK for various aspects like: Like Gate Code and functionality, Share Dialog
Facebook App Creation
Twitter API – Share Dialog for Twitter

Uh oh, that’s it. Man, time flies. I learned quite a few new things in recent months but I had a bit of a dry spell while I was working on Photography and my Secret Project.

I also need to add my GitHub and Cloud9 accounts to my warrenshea.com site’s MORE section.

Also. No one has EVER used my warrenshea.com contact page. That makes me sad. Very sad. T_T

Damn, was planning to update the site, but started chatting and now i’m too damn tired. will do it tomorrow. along with review many things i’ve forgotten in the last year. it sucks to know something very well but simply forget it due to lack of use. Ah well, at least it’s easy to relearn and recall.

Update: Looks like my contact form was broken which is weird cuz the last time I tested it, it was okay…and I haven’t made any code updates to it. After recompiling the page (no code change), it works fine. Weird.
