PHP5 class for bit.ly API
Having chosen to convert a bunch of long URLs using bit.ly, I slightly modified and packaged in a simple PHP5 class the code written by David Walsh. The following is an example of usage of this class: $mbit = new BitlyWalsh($login, $apiKey); echo $mbit->getShort($yourLongUrl); // echo $mbit->getLong($bitlyShortUrl); You can download here this basic class.
Google Spelling
I’ve written a short PHP script that outputs what I call “the Google spelling” :) a 26 words list of the most frequent words/phrases taken from Google Suggest. You can also pass the language to it, so the today’s (2010-06-07) English list is amazon bank of america craigslist dictionary ebay facebook gmail hotmail imdb jet [...]

jQuery Quick Pagination (trivial patch)
jQuery Quick Pagination plugin is well… quick :) and it works well: this simple patch adds the options to change the text of the “next/prev” links. The new call is jQuery(document).ready(function(){ jQuery(‘#list_nav li’).quickpaginate({ prev_text: ‘blah previous’, next_text: ‘blah next’ }); });
dkdil 0.7 is out

Boosting a Linksys Access Point
The Linksys WAP54G is shipped with two 5 dBi antennas. Here I show two ways to increase its power and working area: perhaps using both solutions provides too much power to be legal… but I don’t use them at the same time, of course. :) In place of the 5 dBi antenna on the left, [...]
Calf-Point 0.4 is out
This release adds a modified version of Iconize (thanks to Maurizio for having tuned the CSS files).
