As a developer they create a mess and cause excessive namespaces. Take this example from wikipedia:

<div class="vcard">
<div class="fn">Joe Doe</div>
<div class="org">The Example Company</div>
<div class="tel">604-555-1234</div>
<a class="url" href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>
</div>

Is this microformat expandable? If I have two phone numbers how do I identify which one is office, personal and mobile? Why do I have to use the class attribute - this is for style. Even if I changed them to use rel this is also bad.

I would use them when it has been implemented correctly.

HTML and XHTML was not designed for microformats. It's a misuse of HTML.

The code is a bit rough and it needs a bit of fine tuning but check out World of Goo Cursor with HTML5 Canvas.

This is my first goo (sorry I'll stop) with HTML5 canvas and I'm quite impressed with the speed and features so far.

I did some tests with DOMDocument and XMLReader and found baking my own Iterator with XMLReader was the best choice. I'm sure DOMDocument was loading the entire XML file into memory like SimpleXML.

So if you have a XML file which is a few hundred megs big use XMLReader and check out this link for an example of an Iterator.

Have a good weekend!

I've put together a simple component so you can run a cakephp shell console command from a cakephp component.

You'll probably have to change the code around a bit to make it work for you. It would probably work best as a Behaviour and save the checksum in beforeSave(). If I get around to it I'll add this code too.

I've tried to pick out the best sets around. I'll also be making the icon set drop down a checkbox list so you can search over a range of sets.

Check out the little icon search!

All these icons are 16x16 and PNG format and the search requires at least 3 letters before it does a search.

The tool needs some more work but if you have any suggestions or want other icon sets added then shoot me an email.

Cake is great!

I'll clean up the Cat Captcha code and release it soon!

If you have a GPS enabled device and can run InstaMapper (the others seem a bit screwed at the moment) - then setup the software on your phone. Register an account on Land Invasion and setup the InstaMapper as a device.

Your longitude and latitude translate to a QTH block. If you enter a new QTH block you then own it. The aim of the game is to basically own as many QTH blocks as possible. The more you own the higher your score is. If someone else with an account enters your QTH block then they will take the area over until you enter that block again.

Simple right? It's hard to explain so check it out for yourself.

Land Invasion - GPS and Google Map Game Mashup

This latest bit of code will return the longitude and latitude of a address, postcode or town/city. The code is optimised for UK locations so feel free to go in and change it.

The code uses both Google Map API and Multimap Open API. There is a switch to change between them but it will automatically change to Multimap if it detects a UK postcode. Because of Royal Mail, Google does not have the locations for postcodes.

I am planning to get user comments into the site as soon as possible so you can give me feedback on my mistakes :).

My first bit of code for this new zeen.co.uk site is a CakePHP 1.2 model to retrieve, cache and return Twitter status messages.
