  • PSEC: Implementing the Protocol

    October 7, 2011

    SUMMARY: After defining the rudimentary command protocol for loading and saving data, I have to implement at least the “init” command to provide data to the Javascript side of things. That means implementing a simple command building interface with an optional serial command queue, which forces each command to complete before the next command is sent. Along the way, I am introduced to Javascript-style object-oriented syntax. (more…)

  • Productivity WebApp Notes

    October 6, 2011

    The past two weeks I’ve been teaching myself the rudiments of Web Application Programming with HTML/CSS/Javascript, documenting the experience in my Code Process Journal on the Productivity WebApp Project Page. There is nothing to try yet; I’m still at the pure “how does A plug into B?” stage of development.

    Process junkies may enjoy reading about the early-stage development cycle, which is why I’m mentioning it now that I’ve gotten to what feels like a good point. Newbie developers may find the inner dialog with myself interesting as I comment on the challenge of bolting a web app on top of WordPress, but I make no guarantees :)

  • Multisite-Friendly Sitemaps

    October 6, 2011

    I’m pretty lucky that my main website at davidseah.com is indexed frequently. However, I’ve wondered if the sub-blog content was being indexed at all.

    I’ve just replaced my Google Sitemap plugin with Better WordPress Google XML Sitemaps, which promises not only to be multisite-friendly, but boasts of speed advantages over similar plugins. It also can include links to the sub-blog sitemaps within the root site. I’m making this entry to mark the day and time that I implemented this change. I’m curious to see if search engine traffic or rankings change at all.
