jQuery.favicon - jQuery plugin for adding favicons next to the links

It's easy to add little favicons next to all or external links using CSS's background properties:



a[href ^="http://jquery.com"] {
  background: url(http://jquery.com/favicon.ico) center right no-repeat;
  padding-right: 16px;
}



But, to automate that for all links in a page, I wrote a nifty jQuery plugin--favicon (posted to jQuery group).

Side note



I don't know of anyway to parse the domain name of a link using JavaScript and so thought of using RFC compliant regexp and had to write a PHP helper to import regexp in JavaScript:



<?php
// Generate JavaScript regexp for matching URL for getting host part
// set user agent; otherwise getting 403
ini_set('user_agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11');
echo str_replace(array(
    "\n", // remove newline
    '/',  // escape / to \/
    '?:'  // remove--we really need mach
) , array(
    '',
    '\/',
    ''
) , file_get_contents('http://web.archive.org/web/20070302134659/foad.org/~abigail/Perl/url3.regex'));
?>

Converting PSD with PHP/ImageMagick

After seeing feature rich options in Imagick PECL extension at Mikko Koppanen 's (the author) website and also impressed with ImageMagick 's features, I have decided to use it for the PSD to XHTML conversion website that I'm architecting and managing. Since, the team wants programming help for converting PSD images, I have tried it (documentation is sparse on PSD handling) Converting PSD to PNG/JPEG/etc Note that, flattenImages() is needed for layered/multi-page PSD file. <?php $im = new Imagick('test.psd'); $im->flattenImages(); $im->setImageFormat('png'); $im->writeImage('test.png'); ?> Extracting PSD layers One by one <?php $im = new Imagick('test.psd'); $im->setImageFormat('png'); for ($i = 0, $num_layers = $im->getNumberImages(); $i $im->setImageIndex($i); $im->writeImage('layer' . $i . '.png'); } ?> Note that, there is a better version below In a single call with writeIm...

Save American College, Madurai

This post was written in 2008 and outdated now. For update, please check Save American College, Madurai (Update 2011) Update (2011-01-16) : Save American College, Madurai (Update 2011) I'm highly privileged to have 3 degrees (B.Sc. (Spl. Physics), PGDCA and MCA) from The American College, Madurai, South India . Unlike other "commercial" colleges, American College has given room for poor students and uplifted them. And unlike other "elite" colleges who'd give seat only for "intellectuals", American College has produced geniuses. In the recent months, the saddening thing is that the college is under divide (Principal Vs. Bishop). Here is the email I sent to alumnae lately informing about the informations that I received about the developments: Update (2011-01-16) : Save American College, Madurai (Update 2011) All: I was thinking that the " Save American College " campaign was a FUD . But, when I tried to understand the problem through my...

Interview question #2

This is related to PHP's array . An array has number of elements. All elements are integers and unique, which means there is no repetitive integers. (e.g.) $foo = array(7, 5, 9, 13, 2, 8); You have to sort the array, provided: You should scan the elements only once. You're not allowed to compare the elements when sorting. (i.e., you're not supposed to use any comparison operators) Sorted resultant array may not be the source array. How will you do that?
