fotobook widget and plugin for wordpress
Make your facebook photos magically appear on your wordpress site
OK I’m certainly not all that and a bag of chips, but set to roll out in one week for a 565 mile bike trip to LA (over 7 days — I’m not *that* crazy 8-) I wanted to see if there was a nice/cute way to make me:
- take pictures with my ifone
- use the facebook app (to either take a picture or select one from ifone)
- upload to facebook
- have it automatically show up on my site
the first 3 are easy-peasy. you throw money at the problem and get the ifone with its legendarily crappy cell service and the free facebook app.
for the last point, i searched around wordpress plugins and found “fotobook” plugin (which also comes with two default disabled widgets).
it’s a liddle scary — you login to facebook while it’s “bugging” you, but once you done that (and given it your car keys) it figures out all your photo albums. you can pick which albums you want to show/hide. you can login/auth more accounts/people too (but so far I only love myself). to make my left-hand column “NEW TRACEY PIX” on
show up, I enabled the “photos widget”, set it to “most recent”, and tweaked the underlying PHP code to make a simple link to my facebook “mobile uploads” public page.
I think there’s an “update all albums” button somewhere, but there’s also simple instruction to “cron a get of url [X]” every X period of time so I did that. Next, I tested it and “voila!” 5 minutes later, and then a few hours later when Hunter tagged me in some pictures, the left-hand widget updated as if by magic.
I guess this sort of thing excites me. May be old hat. I know raj got tikirobot auto-posting the twitter feeds so maybe he’s figured something like this out already too.
neat, no?

Street theater
Suddenly, I saw it. A flash of juxtaposition, expressing everything that had gone wrong with this place: "Arête – For Sale."

Bflat Buddha Machine
I went to bed at 2am last night. The alarm went off at 6am this morning . It was waaaay too early to do much other than check the internets, so that’s what I did, and found inbflat.net. This site is magic.
Eventually I realized I had to stop playing with it and do some work, but I wanted to keep listening. So I made the Bb Buddha Machine.
It probably doesn’t work in IE. It brings linux machines to their knees. But I listened to it for at least eight hours today. Enjoy!
2011 update:
Some awesome people have taken the Bb Buddha Machine and modified it to make new versions! Check them out:
- Bb Buddha Machine
- Dynamic Buddha Machine – a version by curiousjapan that dynamically loads YouTube videos tagged with “In Bb 2.0″ or any other phrase.
- noiZe vieW – a version by Peter Heß using his own recordings of his circuit-bent instruments.
Also, I have put the code on github for easier collaboration.

archive.org supports random seeking in their videos now!
i finally found the magic dead chicken to use
with flowplayer + lighttpd + mod_h264_streaming.
it turns out one needs to download and use an additional
.swf file to get the scrubber bar to send the
(already working) “?start=610″ (to start 610 seconds in)
parameter to our litey on archive.org
phew! yay!

Mind Tricks: Ancient and Modern
My new favorite little book. It’s got all kinds of helpful funny things. One of the ideas is to map letters to numbers, then make up nonsense sentences to remember strings of numbers (combination lock?). Of course I used a unix command to come up with the most frequent initial letters in the english language. Then I massaged the results a little.
cut -c1 /usr/share/dict/words | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" | uniq -c | sort -nr
Here is the resulting map … let’s go memorize some long strings of numbers!!! oh wait … we have cell phones, nobody needs to remember anything any more :-)
