I have made some more updates to my Auto Ping Plugin (1.1). I'm much\r\nhappier with this version. I've included more hardcoded XML-RPC options\r\nas well as adding 5 custom XML-RPC url options. There is now a\r\nlogging option that was a 1.05 feature. for right now I just put a FeedPingLog.txt into the root of the website. I will probably put this in\r\na better place at a later time.
\r\n

The new built in list contains: BlogFlux, BlogShares,\r\nBlogRolling, BulkFeeds, Feed Burner, Google, Ice Rocket, Moreover,\r\nPing-o-Matic, Syndic8, Technorati, Weblogs and Yahoo.

This past Saturday Colin Edwards, one of the few Americans in the MotoGP circuit had an amazing save when he lowsided in T1 during qualifing. He actualy crashes, but stays commited and re-rights the bike. Absolutly amazing and lucky...

I'm not sure if anyone would be interested but I've wrapped up my enhanced skin and I'm making it available to anyone who wants it. I liked the Nautica 05 skin that came with Mango, but it was just a little too chunky for me.

A few of my changes include

• Shrunk top image giving more room for vertical text
• Added a text-bubble to the image for your blog's description
• Move the search to the top right of the page
• Added links for RSS and Atom instead of just RSS
• I have removed the left nav bar on sub pages and only show children elements
• Main nav bar hight is shorter giving again more vertical space
• And I can't forget my amazing 1bit pedestrian

I've created a new plugin for the ColdFusion Blog Mango. I've recently switched to this blog software and I am very impressed with it so far. I quickly whipped up this plugin last night so I could regain the auto-ping feature I remember having in BlogCFC.

The plugin it's self was VERY simple to write and from looking at thier documentation the limits are endless.

Included is the ability to ping 5 hand written URLs (like MXNA) and several XML-RPC sites, although right now the list is small. I will be updating this in the future and adding many more I hope. I'm certainly willing to take any suggestions on which ones are used the most.

• Technorati
• Ice Rocket

I was reading Ray Camden's blog and my interest got peeked by his post on a CF app called varScoper. I downloaded the app from RIA Forge and had it parse my MachBug's source code within about 30 seconds. Depsite how meteculous I try to be with my scoping I was suprised when I found almost a dozen fumbles in my ruffly 320 cffunctions spread across 39 CFC files.

I had never thought of whipping something like this up, but this would be fantastic rehashed as an Eclipse plugin...

Untill then, I definetly recomend you check out this helper app (varScoper).
