Qcodo

Qcodo is an open-source PHP 5 framework that focuses on freeing developers from unnecessary tedious, mundane coding. The result is that developers can do what they do best: focus on implementing functionality and usability, improving performance and ensuring security.

It's also completely object oriented.

PHP - created a nested HTML unordered list from an array

PHP function Get_Array_Keys_UL will create an nested HTML Unordered List string of the keys of a given array. Makes best sense with literal keys, e.g. $_POST:

/**
* Creates recursively a nested HTML UL of array keys.
* @param array $array Array
* @return string Nested UL string
*/
function Get_Array_Keys_UL($array=array()) {
$recursion=__FUNCTION__;
if (empty($array)) return '';
$out='

'."\n";
foreach ($array as $key => $elem)
$out .= '
• '.$key.$recursion($elem).'
'."\n";
$out .= '

'."\n";
return $out;
}

Sebastien Tellier - "Divine"

France this year, bit the bullet, and actually entered a decent tune into the Eurovision song contest - Sebastien Tellier's "Divine", which is produced by one half of Daft Punk.
In any case, the Eastern European countries all voted for each other, which resulted in some instantly forgettable Russian entry winning.


Anyway, here's the video:

Google AppEngine

Today I got my Google AppEngine application approved by Google. Great stuff - now I've got to start brushing up on Python.

On the downside ,I'm out of work because of the credit crunch - they've announced massive layoffs where I work.

Ordb

Via ITwire.com

A database of open relay email servers, provided until late 2006 as a voluntary service to help email administrators block spam, has suddenly re-activated but is returning every address queried as being on its blacklist.

Administrators of email systems should have stopped querying the database (relays.ordb.org) in December 2006 when it shut down, but some failed to do so. That was no problem until today, queries were simply rejected, but now the address of any email server presented is being returned as an open relay. This results in the querying system rejecting all incoming mails from that server.
