XML-RPC client class in PHP

Posted by Jazz on Jul 26, 2010 in Blog | 0 comments

I currently have a project that requires communicating with a 3rd party application server via XML-RPC.  Having never worked with XML-RPC before  I went looking for a PHP wrapper class that could help.  Unfortunately I couldn’t find one so I had to write one from scratch.  I have decided to publish it here for anyone else that needs to use XML-RPC in PHP and wants a tidy wrapper class to make life easier.

FunkyNERD (p)re-launch!

Posted by Jazz on Jul 21, 2010 in Blog | 0 comments

A while back I decided to ditch FunkyNERD.com and just use at as an email domain.  But, I have started developing for Android lately and so I have decided to revive FunkyNERD and use that as my developer account with Google.  So while I was at it I decided to add some of my other projects.

So, this is sort of a “soft launch” so that people that are looking for articles on the old website know what it going on.

Merging multiple AVI files into one on Linux

Posted by Jazz on Nov 21, 2009 in Blog | 0 comments

Occasionally I come across AVI files that have been split up, for whatever reason, and I want to put them back into one file. Every time I do, I end up having to dig through tonnes of Google search results to find what I want and then make sense of it. Therefore I decided to figure out the best way to get this work for me and then do this little write up.

Even though I am a software developer by day, in my spare time, I am a freelance photographer (hoping to become full time). Right now, I’m in the process of starting my own business. There are standard things that need to be done such as, business cards; marketing materials; websites; etc. Most are going well, and are either completed or almost done.

Update on using kBluetooth

Posted by Jazz on Jul 21, 2009 in Blog | 0 comments

In my last post (Using A2DP Bluetooth in Kubuntu Karmic (KDE)) I mentioned that I used gnome-bluetooth to setup my A2DP headset and then I remove it. Well, I did some more thinking/playing and I have completely switched over to gnome-bluetooth.

Using A2DP Bluetooth in Kubuntu Karmic

Posted by Jazz on Jul 12, 2009 in Blog | 0 comments

I’ve been using Kubuntu Karmic on my ASUS G1s notebook for a couple of weeks now and I’m quite happy with it. On the most part, everything “just works”.

One thing that didn’t work out of the box though, was my A2DP bluetooth headset. I have a Nokia BH-503 that I use quite often while I’m working so it’s something I really wanted to get work. Unfortunately, the KDE desktop widget for managing bluetooth still leaves a lot to be desired. At the moment it really only manages input devices, such as bluetooth mice. I found a pretty easy work around though.
