grid calendar generator for php Updated
This one’s simpler based on php 5.3 and more calendar functions
14 fewer lines and it’s using timestamps for each grid square, so you can use the dates well for whatever other purposes.
function grid_cal($m){ $bag = ""; $m = strtotime("first day of this month",$m); $i = strtotime("-" . date("w",$m) . " days",$m); // starts on the previous sunday $bag .= "<table class=\"cal-table\"><tr class=\"cal-month\">\n<td colspan=\"7\">" .date("F",$m) ." ". date("Y",$m) . "</td>\n</tr>\n<tr class=\"cal-days\">"; for($j=0;$j<7;$j++){ $bag .= "\n<td>" . date("D",strtotime("+$j days",$i)) . "</td>"; } $bag .="\n</tr>"; while(!(date("m",$i)>date("m",$m) && date("w",$i)==0)){ if(date("w",$i) == 0) $bag .= "\n<tr>"; $bag .= (date("m",$i)==date("m",$m)) ? "\n<td>" . date("j",$i) . "</td>" : "<td class='emptygrid'></td>"; if(date("w",$i) == 6) $bag .= "\n</tr>"; $i = strtotime("+1 day",$i); } $bag .= "\n</table>"; return $bag; }
here’s how you’d use it…
print grid_cal(time());

Basic PHP grid calendars
Updated! New php grid calendar thing
Here’s how to make a basic PHP grid calendar. I started with this code and stripped it down to bare bones.
http://www.phpjabbers.com/how-to-make-a-php-calendar-php26.html
Here’s a simple function that takes a month and year and it will mark today’s grid square on the calendar with the class “cal-today”
function grid_cal($m,$y){ $tabs = "\n\t\t\t\t"; $w_days = array("S","M","T","W","T","F","S"); $stamp = mktime(0,0,0,$m,1,$y); $maxday = date("t",$stamp); $thismonth = getdate ($stamp); $startday = $thismonth['wday']; ?> <table class="cal-table"> <tr class="cal-month"> <td colspan="7"><?php echo date("F",$stamp).' '. date("Y",$stamp); ?></td> </tr> <tr class="cal-days"> <?php foreach($w_days as $d) { echo "$tabs\t\t<td>$d</td>"; } ?> </tr> <?php $curr_month = (date("F Y")==date("F Y",$stamp))? TRUE : FALSE; // if this calendar is displaying current month $today = date("j"); for ($i=0; $i<($maxday+$startday); $i++) { if(($i % 7) == 0 ) echo "$tabs\t<tr class='cal-date'>"; $date_class = ($curr_month && $i - $startday + 1 == $today)? " class='cal-today'": ""; if($i < $startday) echo "$tabs\t\t<td></td>"; else echo "$tabs\t\t<td{$date_class}>". ($i - $startday + 1) . "</td>"; if(($i % 7) == 6 ) echo "$tabs\t</tr>\n"; } echo "$tabs</table>"; }
usage…
<?php grid_cal(date("n"),date("Y")); ?>
TypeIt4Me URL shortener using Bitly
Here’s a quick thingy for bit.ly-ing urls. Copy a url, type your snippet and TypeIt4Me makes it a bit.ly url.
To make applescript work right in TypeIt4Me, you’ll need to add the a/s character at the beginning of your snippet content. At the bottom of the window, go to Insert> Special> a/s (Execute As Applescript)
set the ClipURL to (the clipboard as string) # to get your api key, go to http://bitly.com/a/your_api_key set u to "" # your username goes in the quotes set k to "" # your api key goes in the quotes ignoring case if ((characters 1 through 4 of ClipURL as string) is not "http") then return "Malformed URL." else set ClipURL to deHash(ClipURL) set curlCMD to ¬ "curl --stderr /dev/null \"http://api.bitly.com/v3/shorten?login=" & u & "&apiKey=" & k & "&longUrl=" & ClipURL & "&format=txt\"" -- Run the script and get the result: set tinyURL to (do shell script curlCMD) return tinyURL end if end ignoring on deHash(uri) set hash to "#" set rehash to "%23" set ditd to text item delimiters of AppleScript set text item delimiters of AppleScript to hash set uri to text items of uri set text item delimiters of AppleScript to rehash set uri to "" & uri set text item delimiters of AppleScript to ditd return uri end deHash
Balloons = Dark Lord

Brian Asman is an amazing balloon sculptor in San Francisco who was a main character on TLC’s Unpoppables (reality show about balloon twisters). He made this amazing Darth Vader sculpture. I especially like the light saber.
“Received a call to send something to a huge Star Wars fan. I’ve never created anything based on Star Wars before, and who better to create than the most recognized villain of all time? I was determined to make this a stand out work of art. Viewing images that span the years of the franchise, plus the Imperial March music playing repeatedly, I present The Dark Lord!”
Brian has won a bunch of international awards, he made a life-size effigy of me and a functioning couch all outta his magic latex bubbles. Here’s his website : http://balloonsequalfun.com
