jQuery / Ajax live refresh

January 30th, 2010

Running live, simultaneous beta tests using three different browsers for my wallpost app, with added jQuery/Ajax page refresh functionality. It is kicking some SERIOUS ass already (think: live chat possibilities, with saved record of all dialogues, that can be added to any page, threaded to any topic, etc) Yeah! ;) .

[Already, I’d like to thank programmer Srinivas Tamada for this rockin’ code!

And additionally, very special thanks to Maruf for helping resolve an annoying IE issue:

After I modified the code, the stupid forced-caching issue of IE (which was delaying or not showing the updated list of all the latest posts) managed to get resolved. Here’s my modified code of the function:

<script>

var refreshId = setInterval(function() {
$("#page_refresh").load(‘show-comments.php?v=’+ Math.random());
}, 500);

</script>

“Twitter emulator” progress

January 30th, 2010

OK, so now I’ve got my “Twitter emulator” working (complete post-to-wall, saving all posts into a database), now with post authors listed according to logged-on username [i.e. wall posting for logged on users only]. Almost out of beta, few final tests to go :-) .

My Twitter Emulator

January 28th, 2010

Is basically done (as far as the backend stuff). Will install on my blog soon :-) . It functions pretty much just like Twitter (allowing a user to “add his/her post to your wall,” then see the entire stream of posts, with the latest one he/she just added at the top of the list) except that it can be run on your own site internally! :0 Stay tuned ;) .

Wrote my own little logout script today (gives self a tiny little “geek pat on the back” :p).
