Great idea, I look forward to reading it!

Cheers! It's not for everybody. The thing is, more electronic music is so much easier to produce when you've only got one microphone, and lack a studio!

The intent is well done :-) though it's not my style. I mean the electronic part of it.

This sounds like a cool community project!

I think I'll be using the Feng and English one. As the final aim is to turn it into a really great interactive web book I decided to go for that one as I felt it balanced substance with prose the best. Although I'm open to suggestions if you have a particular fave?

What translation?

I have another contact in Totnes, too, a good online friend for many years, and have seen photos of how great it is there :)

Ooh, nice looking wood! Do you have some pictures you could post? I'd love to see it.

Nope. Just a guy who has never done woodworking before, but made two of the nicest guitars I have ever played, at Sergei Dejonge's school (http://www.dejongelutherie.com/) in Quebec. I used Ziricote for my rosette. Some of my classmates used it for their sides and back, but it's really hard to bend.

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.
