Twitter’s Cute Picture of the Day

Have a thing for cute images? Me too — I can’t help it! Seeing something adorable tends to make my day. I needed my daily fix but was frequently too busy or too lazy to stop what I was doing to go and find something cute to look at.

Using that as my inspiration, my developer brain came up with an idea, so I went ahead and built a small script that scours imgur’s /r/aww gallery that grabs the highest scored image each day and posts it to twitter.

Are you interested in how it works? Go ahead and check out the source over on GitHub!

Easy MailChimp Integration

I just released the updated version of my MailChimp WordPress plugin,  Easy MailChimp Integration!

With Easy MailChimp Integration, you can seamlessly integrate your MailChimp account in to WordPress. All you need is your MailChimp account’s API key and a list id.

Once the setup is complete you can use a widget or a shortcode to put the forms on your posts and pages or use it in your custom templates with a php snippet.

If you notice any issues, please submit a bug to the Github Issue Tracker and I’ll look in to it as soon as possible.

This is a continuation of the YIKES, Inc. Easy MailChimp Extender plugin.

View Unique Images Bookmarklet

I was getting tired of opening a ton of tabs to view images in a gallery so I made a small bookmarklet to handle it for me. This little bit of code will grab all of the unique image links from a page and open them as images in a new window (BMP, JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF).

Date Counter Bookmarklet

Ever needed to calculate a date in the future but didn’t feel like looking it up? My girlfriend Katie was looking up dates for an invoice so I created a bookmarklet that takes a number of days and then alerts it to screen so you can copy and paste it. I might end up fixing it in the future so that it’ll print the result to whatever field is currently focused, but for now, you’ll all have to make due.
