Hurray! Another step to annihilation of developers-nightmare Internet Explorer 6. According to this blogpost, and my own tests Facebook has ditched support for Internet Explorer 6.

rant-alert : IHMO You would only use IE6 if ;
- You’re using an illegal version of windows and you’re not able to Windows Update, why would that be supported by anyone? If you’re too lame to buy a legal copy, switch to a OS that’s free (and stable, and secure, and looks better.. and.. and.. well)
- You’re at work and the ICT-dept. is lame and not doing their job (security blackholes)
- You’re a complete n00b and don’t know what windows-update is (you shouldn’t use a computer at all)

Last week I got a request to create some kind of RPC-server-client in PHP. The assignment was to create a flexible solution to allow remote updating several properties in a database. I’ve created interfaces like this before, but specifically for AJAX-calls to PHP-objects, not really for server-to-server-calls. This particular assignment also involved a PHP-client-object for other developers to implement in their website. The RPC-interface actually doesn’t really care if it’s used for real server-to-server calls or AJAX-calls. However; in this article I’ll focus on server-to-server communication, if designed well it shouldn’t take too much effort to make it AJAX-compatible.

I finally redesigned & updated the NMT-Shoutcast-website!
New features:
- Favorites: store your favorite stations on NMT-Shoutcast
- Details-page: from the directory or search you’ll be taken to a detailed view of the channel (which also allows you to add the station to your favorites)
- Mixes: I published some mixes on a separate page (these mixes are not available from Shoutcast)
I also fixed some bugs and did some finetuning on filtering the stations which have multiple genres. I still want to add a personal channel feature, but that’s coming up in the next update.
Check it out : http://hdx.i-v-o.nl
Thanks to Dieter for the design!
Update 13-04 : personal stations has been added!

The NMT-shoutcast-service is doing quite well (up to 400 sessions/day) , and I’m considering to redo the design (as far as it’s a design right now;-) ) and add more features. One of the features I’d like to add is a personal favorites-list. I’d really like to know what you would like added/improved in the NMT-shoutcast-service, please leave a message in the comments-section.
Thx!
Update 06-04-2009:
Unfortunately some other work needed my attention, but I did some work on the HDX-Shoutcast-service. It’s far from release-ready and I’ll try to get more work done next weekend. Suggestions are still very welcome
