So, i upgraded Firefox to 3.6 only to discover it breaks shadowbox in most of my sites, and in an attempt to debug it, found out serverfault.com and stackoverflow.com are broken in this version. Real effin nice. I have a feeling i will be very busy debugging this winter….

UPDATE!

if your shadowbox is broken in FF 3.6, make sure DEFER is NOT set when you call shadowbox.js!
I don’t know why, but tip courtesy of Brian Guertin!

So, i needed a light weight mp3 player for iamcell.com, when i stumbled upon the piMP3 Player by cssrevolt.com.  Perfect! (does not work in IE right now)…Uses prototype (less than perfect) and integrates seemingly seemless!  For the sake of UI, i added “previous” and “next track” buttons… Code can be seen below…  I worked under a stressful time constraint, so if any1 wants to jump in and drop some logic on my ass or fix the ie bug, by all means!

Recently i developed an e commerce site that sends the order directly to a distributor for shipping after the bank transactions…
Being a relatively new nerd, i work best destroying someone else’s code (script lion)… so here’s a lil contribution since every example i googled was (significantly) different. Here is a bash script that will upload files if your using a typical Media Temple server using Linux / CentOS 5… Script will also move the files to a new directory… just delete if you don’t want to move anything when your done…

#!/bin/bash
set -m
theDate="$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"

ftp -vinp ftp.urAddress.com <
quote USER yourusername
quote PASS 9assword
cd Upload
binary
put /path/to/your/file/PO850.xml ‘date +%d_%m_%y’_PO850.xml
quit
EOF

cp /path/to/your/file/*.xml /path/to/your/other_directory/

rm /path/to/your/file/*.xml

exit 0

Hope this helps someone… oh… and to the younger script kiddies… don’t be afraid of Linux… shits, tit after a bit!
