Google API and behind the scene maintenance

maandag 15 april 2002

I started playing with the Google API in combination with Perl. Haven't figured out what to do with if I get it up and running. The Google API is great news for the evolution of websevices which will become more and more common in the near future. Adam Curry has already a functional Google Box, which search on dutch weblog and based on the Google API on his site.

But I have to thank Karma for his post about the Google API. It filled my weekend with coding, debugging and a lot of reading. The final result will come somewhere on this site.

Besides the API I spend a lot of time this weekend with correcting, validating and rewriting a bunch of HTML and CSS. I am down to a few errors I can't fix in HTML (but maybe in Greymmatter) and a few errors (because of IE specific elements) and a few warning in CSS. But with all this copy and pasting of code, I killed my Hotstat counter. I know, I have little readers but none on a sunday?!? I copied the orginal counter code back and hope to finish up the rest tonight.

As you might have noticed, all this coding and debugging has great impact on my posting and the frequency of them. I apoligize for that. I know, I do not meet my own quality standards. JW's Braindump is still in development and will be that way for a while. So be patient, it might be worth waiting for!

  1. Paste and copy is the way to go these days.

    Friends of mine keep rediscovering the wheel when there are thousands of diverent sort out there already.

    Like the wheel html, php, mysql, API's and all have been done before. Me, myself and I use sourceforge. My logging software is developed using sourceforge. My gallery is sourceforge. And in the future more of my site will become sourceforged.

    ANd why not? It isn't the technology that matters. It's the content that counts.
