I had a request recently from Woman Poker Player to add the video site LinkedTube to the list of available video providers in JomSocial. After a bit of investigation, I ended up developing a solution based on the core YouTube library (as LinkedTube is really merely a wrapper for YouTube videos). I've been given permission to post this here for the benefit of the community, and I've sent it to Azrul as well for possible inclusion in the JomSocial core.

Compojoom, developers of CompojoomComment, opened up a contest to hack their comment component. After being alerted to the contest by my good friend Lafrance, I took a peek and had a working XSS exploit within 16 minutes, and after a bit of refining I managed to really mess things up. ;)

Today, JNoGuest 1.0.4 was released. This version adds support for JomSocial registration (including JomSocial Profile Types), fixes a couple bugs, and has some minor changes to JNoGuest's operation.

Okay, it's been a while and things have been seemingly standing still. I just got back from another trip to Michigan. I've signed an NDA and don't want to say much, but I've been doing jQuery frontend work for a company that develops cloud services used by the likes of Ford Motors and ROUSH Performance. It's been pretty interesting so far to say the least!

On the home front, JMyLife is going through a bit of a core rewrite, though I have a testing release of 1.0.13 brewing. It's not a very big release this time around, as I've been getting everything laid out for 1.1.0. I've got a rough alpha of 1.1.0 in the works, which is going to be much more flexible in terms of addressing the positioning of all of the core elements by taking advantage of Joomla's core plugin architecture, allowing new elements to be created easily by other developers.

I've updated JNoGuest to version 1.0.3. No bug fixes, but I've added AlphaRegistration bypass as an option.

For a limited time, I am now offering extended access to JMyLife! So what does this mean? I am offering to "barter" JMyLife access in exchange for a few different things. In addition to an extended access time, you will also be helping to make JMyLife grow in new and exciting ways. These offers are NOT limited to current JMyLife users, and if you haven't purchased JMyLife yet, these offers supersede any payment requirements (i.e., JMyLife will be provided AT NO ADDITIONAL COST).
