MonkeyChow now with iPhone support

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Just added a bunch of code which has been uploaded to svn and rolled up in the latest tarball to add support for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This is the beginning of the use of different style sheets which will lead to preferences for different styles for your ...

Getting in Touch with your Tunes

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

It was almost two years to the day that I purchased my 4GB iPod Nano and just a couple of days after post this. At the time it seemed like a lot of space, but I really filled it up pretty quickly. Apple advertises 1000 songs on ...

Mac Attack

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

So I was in the datacenter one day, the week that the Macbook Air debuted, when a tech from EMC was working with us on DiskXtender for UNIX for our Centera cluster pair. He needed to get some PDFs for reference so he pulls out an older Macbook Pro ...

Nike+iPod update: version 1.4.1

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

Not sure what is going on with Nike, but they are returning PIN data with every query now. This messes up the results and creates cases where you will see divide by zero errors. I've added conditionals to check for the zero, and to check for the extra ...

Nike+ iPod Update

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

Looks like a few things changed at the Nike site. My new script is updated to talk to their servers properly. The change is that Nike got rid of the external_profile_login request and now requires you to do a generate_pin request. Also be sure to create the ...

Nike+iPod API

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

A few people have asked about how I pulled some of the URLs for communicating with the Nike servers. It all started with the Wordpress plugin which revealed the first pair of URLs we needed and how to utilize them. https://www.nike.com/nikeplus/v1/services/app/external\_profile\_login.jhtml?     login=$username&password=$password&locale=en_us and http://www.nike.com/nikeplus/v1/services/app/getuserdata.jhtml The first URL is called and returns this XML structure ...

PHP Nike+iPod stats

Friday, December 29th, 2006

A while back I got a Nike+iPod attachment for my iPod. I really love the stats the Nike web site gives you, but there is really no good way to share that data. Nike came out with some desktop widgets for Yahoo Widgets, but you still can't easily ...

Hello iPod

Saturday, April 8th, 2006

We have a new addition to the family thanks to an early Easter present from my wonderful wife (hers on the left, mine on the right). I’ve retired my 40GB Creative Zen Xtra after discovering that I really wasn’t listening to most of the ~20GB that I had dumped ...

getting iPods and iTunes everywhere

Monday, February 6th, 2006

Since we’re very into our music , the 2005 holiday season’s iPod craze brought us some amazing products. My son picked up a 4GB Nano at launch around Thanksgiving, although he had to settle for black since the white ones were all sold out. With the $50 difference ...
