PHP News Feed
Well I got bored today so I decided to write a PHP news feed grabber with SimpleXML. It grabs the RSS feeds from News.com.au, iTnews and Digg which then puts it into a nice little page and table.
You can see a demo of it here – times are based on QLD time.

Exetel Usage Meter
I was bored the other day so I decided to create Exetel Usage Meter.
It’s a basic PHP script that shows the current usage / ip address. You can view a demo here (note, it’s just the example and not up do date with current usage) or download the current version.
If you have any PHP experience and would like to extend the script, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment!

Favicon, iPhone SpringBoard icon & Archive Widget
I decided to create a favicon and an iPhone SpringBoard icon for my blog, since I have been posting about iPhone related stuff lately. If you visit my blog on the iPhone, bookmark it and add to the Home Screen it should show up as a nice icon there.
On another note I downloaded the Collapsible Archive Widget written by Ady Romantika. I must say that I love the look of the archive’s now as they aren’t taking up the whole page. I would like to say thanks to Ady for writing such a nice plugin.
iPhone OS 3.0 Vibration Fix
I was browsing through the ModMyi forums and found a SMS Vibration 3.0 Fix by a user by the name of WaLLy3K.
You can download a copy of the SystemSoundVibrationPatterns.plist and read more about it after the jump.

Why www? Make it no-www!
When you visit a website it can generally be accessed via “http://www.domain.com” or “http://domain.com”. Having access to both versions will in fact over time harm your search engine ranking.
When you send an email to someone their address generally isn’t “name@mail.domain.com”. It would more likely be “name@domain.com” so why not just remove the www. from all domains.
