Hey, PBwiki-ers! It’s worth mentioning that the tags support that we rolled out this month across PBwiki was largely inspired by a series of wonderful meetings we had with Nitin Borwankar. This guy is like the Johnny Appleseed of the tagging world! If you need tags support in your application, talk with him and he’llContinue reading “Props to the tagmaster”

We're Video Stars!
Our rocking friends Jay & Ryan (vlogstars in their own right) came over to our new digs in San Bruno – we’re right by the SF airport, which is great, except for when the big planes come zooming overhead. Check out their awesome interview with our team!

In all honesty, this is aContinue reading “And there goes the continent…”
Interesting PHP Quirk w/require_once
So as many of you astute readers may have noticed, we use PHP on the backend. Nathan and I ran into a curious quirk today; if you do a require_once() in a function’s context, the variables set in the required file are not visible as globals once the function returns, even to functions in theContinue reading “Interesting PHP Quirk w/require_once”
The PBwiki API
So we’re going to be working on an API for all you PBwiki coders out there to make it easy to pull PBwiki content into applications and other web services, push content from other sources into PBwiki, and get alerted when a wiki is updated. We’re just in the first design phases of rolling outContinue reading “The PBwiki API”
