Yep, the guitar I'm making (at the Totnes School of Guitarmaking) is sitka/mahogany, but I had some brazillian scraps that I'm using for soundhole decoration. Are you a commercial luthier?

Will do :) been fun so far, here's a UI demo: http://waterpigs.co.uk/patterns Eventually will be my take on tutorial sites, but focused on being concise and genuinely applicable to anything - teaching design patterns and best practises instead of procedures.

Enjoy your coding!

Cheers guys — both of those look great! I've decided to go for CI for my current project, but I'll be sure to give Yii and CakePHP a go in future projects.

See, here I could have done with being able to take out the typo on the first line (blame the iPad keyboard). But then again, I should really have read it through before posting ;)

Hey, it didn't work at all! Can we have emoji support please? I think it's part of Unicode now…

Okay, I've put together a basic php implementation of embed support for my website. I'm building a checker that looks at the URL and checks site databases for relevant content. If none is found, it will look for micro formats. If none of those are found, it'll just return info about the link.

Ooh, oembed is nice rushes off to implement it for my sheet music directory but I'd still prefer to see something that automatically exposes any microformats/semantic HTML articles on a linked page.

feature

There are already some ideas about photo management and about video embedding. You can find and vote for them on Get Satisfaction. Of course you could also submit your own idea, if it's different enough :)

For videos and webpages there is a feature called "oEmbed" that has already been developed and it's waiting to be evauated by the dev team. Now it's in the pull request list https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/pulls

Can't get it to work on my Ubuntu box, not enough of a geek I guess. However, I did get WebLog Expert Lite to install in WINE, and it works just fine analysing my Abyss X1 server log.

After using it for a few days, I've decided to migrate all of the websites I manage to piwik. It's great! The campaign monitor and realtime viewers features are good, and it also tracks viewers who dont have javascript enabled — something I believe GA doesn't do.

Looks interesting, I shall have to give it a try.

Hmmm, the link didn't post... http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/artificial-intelligence/quadrotors-can-now-play-catch-allrobot-baseball-team-closer-to-reality
