Don & Mike Podcasts
I hate the word podcast. Along with wiki, blogs and the phrase that pays “Web 2.0″. Any way, here’s your link to the segments of [url=http://1067freefm.com/pages/1363.php]The Don’s ‘n’s Mike’s Show[/url] that they’ve deemed good enough to make it to the web. I would had evite’d every one to listen but that’s so “Web 1.0″. I’ll just post it here on my “Web 1.0″ content management system. I should “Web 1.0″ sticky this post. To bad I didn’t “Web 2.0″ wiki this and “Web 2.0″ syndicate it. Fucking morons. No one should ever earn more money on the mere fact that they’ve only learned those words. They don’t make you more savvy, only more annoying. This should really be under the rants section. The end.
Cross Domain AJAX
I thought that you might be able to do this but, I also knew it was still JavaScript. So, this is the best [url=http://snook.ca/archives/javascript/cross_domain_aj/]write up[/url] I found, that answered my confused question and a little more. We all know of the proxy method. The JSON method I think uses meta tags and isn’t the cleanest of solutions. The Flash method just made me say, “Duh, I should had though of that.” but then your relying on flash to work. Then I saw I cross domain example using Dojo and iFrames that seemed to work but I saw two things with it: it was slow, from what I read, and I hate iFrames. Enjoy.

~ in JavaScript ~
2006 | Aug 18
Here are a few of the most popular ways to do cross domain calls via JavaScript: proxies, JSON, and Flash.
Cross domain proxy
This is one of the most common approaches. Your script calls your server, your server makes the call to the remote server and then returns the result back to the client. There are some definite advantages to this approach: you have more control over the entire lifecycle. You can parse the data from the remote server, do with it what you will before sending it back to the client. If anything fails along the way, you can handle it in your own way. And lastly, you can log all remote calls. WIth that you can track success, failure and popularity.
Cross domain JSON
For this to work, the remote server needs to be set up to handle this. It needs to accept an additional parameter: a callback function. Then, to make the remote request, you insert a new script tag into your page with which will allow you to specify a remote URL. The reponse back will load a JSON object as a parameter of the callback function you specified in the request. Yahoo, for example, has implemented this feature in their web services API’s. This is great because you can implement web service calls without ever needing a scripting language on your server. Check out Jason Levitt’s article, JSON and the Dynamic Script Tag, on XML.com for more information.
Cross domain using Flash
Flash, by default, is much like Ajax in that you cannot request data from a remote server. However, you can enable this capability by placing a special XML file on the remote server to accept requests from other domains. With JavaScript’s capability to interact with Flash, we can use Flash as a bridge for sending cross-domain requests. (XML.com has a nice write-up of this technique.) There are still some limitations to this technique, most of which seems to be limited to older versions of Flash. There’s also the issue with users having Flash installed and enabled.
Sub-domains are still cross domains
One point to note and it’s fairly subtle. Plenty of us have our sites running at www.example.com and at example.com. They both point to the very same place. To us, we see them as the same thing. But to an Ajax call, it’s considered cross domain. Therefore, if you have to make an Ajax call to the same server, don’t code the domain as part of the request; just use the path.
The Future
Some have already begun looking into establishing standards that could be implemented into future browsers, such as JSONRequest and ContextAgnosticXMLHttpRequest. JSONRequest seems the most promising but that could be because I prefer JSON over XML and see it as really gaining traction over the next couple years.[/quote]

2006 Taxes
I should have gotten my refund by now but, my former employer won’t stop dickin’ around and send me my W-2. I know they don’t have to until January 31st. I also realized today that, I’ll have one more thing to list on my 1040EZ, along with my dual W-2’s. I had a savings account that earned over $10.00 this year. Look at me, I’m rolling in cash these days. Like Scrooge McDuck in his gold coin swimming vault. In the past 5-6 years, calculating & summiting my taxes took me about 3 minutes. Next year I’m going to make my taxes harder by keeping all receipts, going to school, having a kid, getting married, buying a house, getting a divorce, and filing for bankruptcy. In that order.

Weather
Get ready for a winter storm. It hit here Friday night. The highs have been in the teens and 20’s. We got ice, sleet and hail, and most churches were closed yesterday, as well as most businesses and schools and such today. Unfortunately for me, I work 10 mins from my house, so I’m pretty much required to come in. It sucks….not to mention I have the flu and no hot water in my house because of a friggin leak! And, to top it off, one of my crowns cracked in the middle of the night…don’t ask me how. So now, I’m missing a tooth, and too sick to go lay in a dentist chair for an hour to get it fixed, and it 20 degrees outside and I’m sick and at work.
Very sucky Monday.
KC and the Sunshiney Building
…a.k.a. the new Sprint Center in KC. Within the next month we’ll find out if penguins can live in the warm climate of KC as apposed to their natural habitat of Pittsburgh.
I just really rather not see the Pens move to KC. Don’t get me wrong, KC is a great place and has brought use great things like, KC Masterpiece and William Least Heat-Moon. Yeah, I don’t know either but, I did read that the city’s tap water was recently rated the cleanest among the 50 largest cities in the United States, containing no detectable impurities. So, good for them. They get a gold star for the year.
If by chance KC gets the Pens, please change the name of the team. Bring back the Scouts. Or even go gay and call them the Jazz. How about rivaling the Hurricanes and name them the Tornadoes, since KC is in “Tornado Alley”. Watch out NASCAR, the NHL might creep in on some of your most precious ad real estate spaces. During the 6 o’clock news, on the front of a t-shirt, on the guy whose trailer was shockingly and unexpectedly thrown five miles during the summer months, only because, he never thought it would had happened to him.
No, I’m sure KC is a great place.
Mario Lemieux has already been out to visit the new arena. The Anschutz Entertainment Group, who will run the arena, doesn’t seem to be stuck on the Pens. They said they’ve gotten calls from other cities. If the Pens can’t get a new arena from Pittsburgh, they might just be calling KC back. Who knows. The NHL would have to final says on if KC can host a NHL team anyways.
Second rumor is the L.A. Clippers have looked at KC.

Cruise
So, for Christmas and honeymoon, we took a five day Cruise. It left outta Galveston, TX and went to Progreso, Mexico and Cozumel, Mexico. It was the best vacation of my life. I won $100 in the casino the first night, doubled my money the second night and spent about $400 on gifts and booze the entire trip. All the food you can eat for free!!! 5 course meals every night in the formal dining room. We snorkeled in Cozumel and were swormed by fish. Drank XX while lounging on the beach, had authentic mexican food. It was by far the best vacation ever!!!!
Now its back to the grind.
