Purchase my RSS reader called 'FeedReader' by going to the iTunes App Store and typing in 'FeedReader'. You can also go to the product page directly by clicking here. iTunes is required for that link to work.
I’ve decided to setup a support forum for all of my apps. You can reach it by going to forum.allibsus.com. Soon, you will find topics on FeedReader and JS PickupLines, and soon other apps will follow. But if you have a question, suggestion, or comment the best place would be to post it there and I will respond as soon as I can.

I have submitted the update version 1.1 for FeedReader and it’s now in review. I will post some screenshots and descriptions of what has been added to the new version in a little bit.
Hi Guys,
I know it seems I haven’t posted any updates to my blog for awhile. I was actually waiting for Apple to approve my application, so thankfully they did and now I’m back. I am currently working on the update to the next version of FeedReader which sports a new user interface and other features not found in other 20+ RSS readers in the App Store. I will keep you guys posted.

This is where we will provide our support for JS FeedReader. If you have any suggestions, or problems, post a comment here…
If you are designing a web site and and you look at a section of your design in Photoshop and say, “Man. It would be nice to have an RSS icon there.” Now you can go to ICONlook and search for icons to use. The icons have their own license, but most of them are free to use.
There are plugins out there that allow you to sort elements 1 by 1. Using Mootools & jQuery I was able to allow users to select multiple elements and move them to another position. You can view the example by going to http://www.allibsus.com/open/multisort/. I will explain how to use it but for now you can just do a View Source to grab the code.
In my Ubuntu Apache setup running under Sun’s VirtualBox, I have my DocumentRoot set to an NFS path pointing to my Windows Vista host. I spent a shit load of time trying to figure out how to stop the caching of the static files delivered through Apache. To try to pinpoint what the problem was, I started adding commands such as ‘CacheDisable /’ in the Apache configuration files but with no success. It was still serving the first browser copy of the static file. I was doing some development work so I had to make sure my CSS files change as soon as I hit save in Eclipse. I then tried uninstalling Apache, and thought maybe it’s the version I’m using. Wasn’t a good idea. So past the bullshit, I got it to work with:
<Directory “/var/www/public_html/”>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
EnableMMAP Off
EnableSendfile Off
</Directory>
EnableMMAP allows us to turn off mapping of files, and EnableSendfile allows us to turn off the kernel’s caching of the files. Yay! Now I can get back to what’s important, developing.
Stupid IE6 won’t allow me to determine the width of elements if the parent div display is set to ‘none’. Firefox doesn’t have a problem with it. I grab the width of the elements by doing a jQuery(’div ul li’).width(). This is for the carousel that I’m building. The carousel has to slide down and show images that are clickable. The trick around this that I used to fix the IE6 bug was to set the height to 0. And I had to remove the bottom border so that it doesn’t show. I dynamically added the border with JavaScript on show. Then had it removed on hide after the animation was done.
I love using jQuery for its ability to allow you to select an element by specifying CSS selectors such as jQuery(’#options’).hide(). The fact that you can put jQuery in its own namespace is an advantage over other frameworks that don’t allow it. MooTools for example uses the $ as its namespace which many other JavaScripts do. Because of this,jQuery works well with other scripts. But don’t get me wrong, I love MooTools too, so I marry them both in my web development projects which gives me best of both worlds.
MooTools gives me the fresh animation libraries which allows me to give bounce to any element.
