My Microformats thesis
about 5 years ago - 5 comments
After finishing my university I now present to you my thesis. Unfortunately it’ll only be useful for a small part of my readers because it is written in german. But who knows, if there’s enough demand I might produce an english translation at some point in time in the future! The title of my thesis…
LastVenue – toying around with RSS
about 6 years ago - 2 comments
Out of pure boredom and because I did enough work on my thesis today (...and because there wasn't anything decent on TV), I decided to distract myself with a little coding. This is what came out:
Just download it, rename the filename ending to .php, configure it by pasting in the last.fm URL of your desired location and upload it to your webserver. You will also have to download SimplePie that takes care of the all the RSS stuff and place it in the same directory as the LastVenue script.
If you want to include it into a PHP script paste in the following:
Note: the AJAX loding functions got skipped, because I'm really tired right now. Maybe they'll show up in version 2.0 ...who knows?
Demo
include('lastVenue.php');
This script pulls all events for a specific venue from last.fm and lists them in a simple, CSS styleable unorderd list. The script is meant to be included into a webpage and thus features none of the other HTML markup to make it into a full document. It basically only echoes out a headline and a few list items.
Oh yea, of course the script is Microformats enabled ;)

Awesome!!!
You’re famous now! It’s a bit expensive though 
And according to Amazon you’re quite the author with several history books written by “Florian Beer”
seriously though… Very very cool

@Tom:
I’d be very honoured if you purchased a copy
@Attila:
I know it’s not the cheapest. Unfortunately I didn’t have any control over the final retail price.
The history books are, of course, from someone else who’s incidentally got the same name as me.
Thanks a lot
