Vienna + PHP (source code) + iUI

Source posted! BSD License. From the README:

You'll need to do a few things to get this working:

1. Move the extracted vienna directory to /Library/WebServer/Documents
2. Download iUI (http://code.google.com/p/iui/) and put the main iui directory into the extracted vienna/ directory
3a. Setup a cron job to copy ~/Library/Application Support/Vienna/messages.db to the extracted vienna/ directory
3b. For the adventurous: mv ~/Library/Application Support/Vienna/messages.db to the extracted vienna/ directory and sym-link it back to ~/Library/Application Support/Vienna/
4. Make sure to enable web sharing
5. Go to (your computer's name).local/vienna

Vienna + PHP + iUI

So, sick of not having the ability to feed my XML addiction when away from my machine, I took an hour this morning and hacked together a quick'n'dirty iPhone/iPod Touch UI for my Vienna database using MacOS 10.5's standard PHP (with SQLite PDO), iui, and my Vienna database (stored in sqlite3). I gave it read-only access to the database, partly so I wouldn't have to worry about screwing it up, partly because I didn't feel like bothering just yet. I just need to add a "Mark Read" button to make an Ajax call.

I'll ask the Vienna devs if they'd like a copy of the source to toy with and generally improve, since I blatantly stole reused Joe Hewitt's design and markup for iui-enabled Digg.

Note: though my uploaded demo does pull from a copied Vienna database, it does not pull from a live one, since I wrote the code to run on a desktop MacOS 10.5 machine and not a Linux server. I then just made a bookmark on my iPod Touch to my iMac on the local network.

Othello for iPhone/iPod Touch posted in Apple's Web Apps

Just saw this morning that it went up yesterday.

Othello for iPhone/iPod Touch

Since I woke up early today for some unknown reason and couldn't fall back asleep...I took fifteen minutes and made a game of Othello that I wrote ages (okay, six or seven years) ago in JavaScript ready for the iPhone and iPod Touch, since I now have the latter. It may not adhere exactly to the rules of the game when someone runs out of moves, but I wrote it from my memory of the game and not a rulesheet.

It doesn't have different levels of game play, or a polished look, or score saving, or anything like that. But it comes in a very small package and works just fine when not connected to a network. Basically, I only stripped out unnecessary markup, fixed the width to something friendly with the iPhone/iPod Touch's vertical orientation, and made it a single file under 5k (not counting the three images, which total 238 bytes).
