New EE Module : Title Images

Danalyn at Shitty Code has finally released her Title Images Module. To view an example of the module, aside from visiting her site, go no further! I’m using it right here to display the entry titles.

This module is completely customizable, and very easy to set up. Installing is a breeze, as all it requires is knowledge of your website’s paths, and where to put the dynamically generated images. It’s worth noting that the images are also cached. This should speed up displaying of the images, instead of creating them on the fly.

If you’ve been working with any other type of method, and got tired of it, you should probably check out this module. Usage is quite simple:

{exp:titleimg}{title}{/exp:titleimg}

That’s it!

Is it just me?

While at the store, the lady in front of me was paying for her groceries.

The cashier mentioned the amount, and the lady pulled out her cash, and put it down on the counter area.

The cashier was standing right there, she could have handed to him. It’s not like he was ignoring her.

Is it just me?

Ok I lied

So I lied when this site was no longer maintained. I should have said that I’ve been too busy to post to this site. That’s what I Really meant.

Just for the record, I won’t be releasing new versions of any plugin or module I’ve written, but as new versions of Expression Engine come out, I will try to make sure they at least work.

So there you go, from the horses mouth, if I said anything dissimilar to you before, please disregard whatever I said.

On that note, I’ve actually made a new plugin, but I probably won’t release it just yet, since only one person Really wanted it. :)

However, I am alive, and doing well!

100 facts in 100 days – Fact 15

15. I love to watch Japanese Drama (or Dorama). I know this might sound like a crazy fact, But I have been addicted to watching “dramas” from japan. I know I’ve posted about this long before, but thought I’d mention it again as one of my 100 facts.

Why do I like them? A typical “renzoku” (serial or consecutive) drama lasts about 10 to 12 episodes. While this may seem short, it’s probably no different than a typical mini-series over here. This is one thing I do like about Japanese Drama, because a drama actually ends, and doesn’t go on and on and eventually get to the point where it jumps the shark. There are also times when a drama is so popular, there is a sequel.

Most dramas follow a simple formula: boy meets girl, boy courts girl (or the other way), something happens that builds a rift or interferes with the relationship of boy and girl, and then in the end, boy stays with girl. Of course, this doesn’t apply to all dramas. But this is the typical formula, and I love it. Call me old fashioned. :)

Another favourite of mine are the baseball dramas. There hasn’t been one in a while, perhaps since H2 – Kimi to Itahibi. I loved this show, especially since I read the original manga by Adachi Mitsuru
