More Google API

I hope you get to check out the Google Box I have added, using Sebastian Bergmann’s excellent Google API PHP class together with PEAR’s SOAP client (soon to get a homepage). Ohh, BTW: I can’t wait till someone connects Moveable Type with the Google spellcheck. The spellcheck Paolo Valdermarin calls “The most democratic dictionary” (well worth a read for an insight to the spellcheck / dictionary and how it possibly works). Until someone gets the spellcheck wired into MT, I guess I will have to live with Hypertext Webster Gateway.

Los Angeles Times writes: What if you could take a pill and stretch your day–by skipping sleep? That sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but a drug called Provigil could make it possible. Studies have shown that this new medication allows people to remain awake and attentive when their bodies normally crave shut-eye, without suffering the unpleasant side effects and risk of addiction associated with caffeine, amphetamines and other stimulants.

Finally updated Moveable type

Finnaly gotten around to update Moveable type today, so now we are at version 2.0 :-) I did it in part to be able to include searches from Google directly in my weblog, through the Google API – Josh Cooper has made available a hack for Moveable Type to make Google’s API work with it. I can get it to work, the only problem is that the building of the pages never stops, and that the process that it starts continues to hug as much cpu as possible from the
