A Day in Paradise

This afternoon, I whipped up a script to archive and mail out blog entries every evening using Dada mail.

Jake from Utterly Boring, set me in the right direction, and I used this article as a starting point.

Right now my script sends multipart (text and html) messages, and archives either the html or the text, whichever you choose.

Since just about everyone uses mail clients that support html mail, I didn’t bother worrying about text only email, but it can very easily be hacked in. I’m still running tests, but it does work, so if anyone wants to help test email me and I’ll send it to you.
(more…)

OK, I’m getting that mailing list that I promised ever so long ago, together. Just a few more tweaks and it will be ready for prime time! You’ll never have to come to my blog again, just sign up and the news will be shipped right to your door.

Not only will I give you free news, but I’ll give you all kinds of incredible offers from my “business partners”. Cool Huh?

Who’s in… not all at once now

I’m posting this, because I’m working on a mailing list and need something to work with… however it is an interesting article and worth taking a look.

Not that I agree with much of it… lets see, Tabs vs. Spaces, I say spaces. Variable names I say $currentUser. Looping, oooh, I disagree… Where to put braces? I always put them on the same line as the loop, or subroutine call. Also why make a loop with one function call and 4 lines, do a oneliner!

Anyway, it’s cafeteria style programming… grab what you like.
