<p>First of all it’s another reinvention of wheel. This class is designed to provide quick access to any XML based RSS feed and it’s content. Usages are very simple and require only one line of code. Html rendering functionality is provided through separate pluggable widget rendering class which can be extended easily. SimpleXML is used by default to load and fetch feed url but can be used CURL using rayHttp class. All or any CURL options can be set for HTTP request. It can auto detect feed type and supports RSS 0.92, RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds. </p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<p>- Read feeds content into an array<br />
- Supports for RSS 0.92, RSS 2.0 and Atom feed<br />
- Detect feed type automatically, also can be set manually.<br />
- Support pluggable html widget rendering class<br />
- Can render html widget through optional RayFeedWidget class or your own extended class.<br />
- Easily configurable & can work without any configuration.<br />
- Simple & Easy to use from anywhere in your application with a single line of code.<br />
- Support Singleton pattern<br />
- By default SimpleXML is used as http client,<br />
- Support Custom CURL request, may be used to extends functionality through rayHttp class.<br />
- Light Weight</p>
<p>Methods Available (This class provides):<br />
- parse()<br />
- getData()<br />
- widget()</p>

<p>This class is designed to provide quick http reqest method to access external website. A CURL alternative to php native file_get_contents method. It can work without any configuration and can be called anywhere is your application using singleton design pattern. Unlike other Http client class in php, this is lightweight, simple and easy to use and configure. If you need more functionality you can extend the class. CURL request is fully customizable through setCurlOptions() method.</p>
<p>This class is suitable for those project which is not built on a PHP Framework. Usually all frameworks provide a built in Http Client Object.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>
<p>- General purpose http request class.<br />
- Supports GET & POST request Method.<br />
- For GET Request both CURL & PHP native file_get_contents are available.<br />
- By default CURL is used for GET Request.<br />
- Easily configurable & can work without any configuration.<br />
- Simple & Easy to use from anywhere in your application with a single line of code.<br />
- Request through CURL fully configurable with all possible curl options, so it’s up to you.<br />
- Encode given URL Automatically, may be disabled.<br />
- Supports POST requests with a user defined array or serialised string of form values.<br />
- Supports GET requests with a user defined parameter array.<br />
- Support Singleton pattern<br />
- Support Custom CURL request, may be used to extends functionality.<br />
- Light Weight</p>
<p>Methods Available (This class provides):</p>
<p>- get()<br />
- post()<br />
- curlExecute()<br />
- encodeUrl()</p>

<p>Updating your social networking status is now a frequent job. To make this job easier there are lots of web services, desktop applications, mobile applications, plug-ins available to the users. Some people wants to update there status from a single place. Like others <a href="http://ping.fm/">Ping.fm</a>, <a href="http://hellotxt.com/">Hellotxt.com</a> are providing single place service with a variety of options. But I think that updating status from command line is the easiest way for most of the Linux users who loves their terminal.</p>
<p>I have used ping.fm REST API for my script as a result It can update all the services registered with ping.fm at once or a single service putting additional parameter. You just need the Internet connection and terminal to put the command.</p>

A Simple program to update your social networking status using ping.fm
This program will update all your social networking sites via ping.fm.
requirements
- sign for a account at ping.fm
- setup ping.fm for desired social networking sites.
- get your developer api key http://www.ping.fm/developers
- get your user key from http://www.ping.fm/key
@example
- shell > raypm "your message text to update your all social networking status, like twitter, facebook, linkedin"
- shell > raypm twitter "your message text to update twitter status only"
- shell > raypm facebook "your message text to update facebook status only"

</code></pre>
<p>To make the script working, you need to sign up for a <a href="http://ping.fm">ping.fm</a> user account, and registrar for services you want, they support all major social networking sites including <a href="http://www.twitter.com">twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com">facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com">linkedIn</a>. </p>
<p>You will need to get these two keys.<br />
- developer api_keys from <a href="http://ping.fm/developers/">http://ping.fm/developers/</a><br />
- user app key from <a href="http://ping.fm/key/">http://ping.fm/key/</a></p>
<p>I have my developer api key from <a href="http://ping.fm/">ping.fm</a> which will work for you, but I can’t disclose it openly. It will be great to have your own api key and user key is unique for each user. </p>
<p>Installation:</p>
<ol>
<li>create a directory inside your home folder named <strong>bin</strong></li>
<li>create a file named <strong>raymp</strong> inside the bin folder and copy and paste the code</li>
<li>replace <strong>api key</strong> and <strong>user key</strong> with your own.</li>
<li>make the file executable with this command<br />
<code># chmod +x ~/bin/raypm</code></li>
<li>you may need to restart the system to add the newly added bin folder to PATH.</li>
</ol>
<p>& done.</p>
<p>now you can update your status with the following commands<br />
<code># raypm "update all social networking status at once"</code><br />
or<br />
<code># raypm twitter "update twitter status only"</code><br />
or<br />
<code># raypm facebook "update facebook status only"</code></p>

Yesterday I installed Mac4Lin on my laptop running ubuntu intrepid idex. Installation needs some advance configuration which is not suitable for newbie right now even I couldn’t install screenlets desktop widget. But still it’s cool and I am really impressed with the new mac like interface on my laptop. I have added couple of screenshots on my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/raynux">flickr photo-stream</a>.</p>

<content type="html" xml:base="http://raynux.com/blog/2009/02/17/translatation-services-available-on-the-net/"><![CDATA[<p>There are lots of services available on the net. Some of them are really helpful. My intention of this post is to introduce you with some necessary services available on the net and this is the first post of this category.</p>
<p>There are some translation services available on the net like <a href="http://translate.google.com/">Google Translate</a>, <a href="http://www.nicetranslator.com/">nicetranslator</a>. </p>
<p>For normal user I have found that <a href="http://www.nicetranslator.com/">nicetranslator</a> is more intuitive and easy tool, specially for those who are studying or have interest on foreign languages. The User Interface of <a href="http://www.nicetranslator.com/">nicetranslator</a> is pretty simple yet powerful…Their ajax implementation is really cool. You can have a look at them.</p>
<p><a href="http://translate.google.com/">Google Translate</a> is a good option for advance users and programmers as they have public API. It also provide support for more languages than <a href="http://www.nicetranslator.com/">nicetranslator</a> and have some other options. And It seems that <a href="http://www.nicetranslator.com/">nicetranslator</a> is using the <a href="http://translate.google.com/">Google Translate</a> API. If you are a programmer you can also use <a href="http://translate.google.com/">Google Translate</a> for your own project. I have made a PHP Class for <a href="http://translate.google.com/">Google Translate</a> API for one of my project, and hoping to release it as open source on the net when it’s final.</p>
