Updates Shmupdates

I've just had some little fixes put in this morning. Nothing really to write home about, just a few little things.

• Making sure I give you a gadget secret when activating
• Making sure the secret is properly randomised
• Fixed a broken gadget activation process

Just thought i'd keep you posted.

I Love Twitter

Not sure if you knew, but i'm on twitter. Follow me to get snippets from the front line, latest changes, and witty snipes ;) my id is bt_mojo. Show me some love!

I'm sorry I broke your GETs

Sorry for no updates for a little while. Not, I assure you, due to lack of activity.

I have broken your gets calls / messages /balances for retrieving records - so here is the fix.

Simply add "call:", "message:" or "balance:" to the front of the digest calculation.

So for a call example, in ruby, the digest to use when retrieving call records would be

digest = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest("call:#{@my_username}:#{@my_gadget_key}:#{@secret}")

or if it makes more sense in a javascript snippet, this example would make a digest associated with retrieving message records:

var digestString = "message:" + form.username.value + ":"+ form.gadgetkey.value + ":" + form.secret.value;
form.digest.value = sha1(digestString);

Gadgets making gadgets

We've worked on the types of things gadgets can do through calls to Mojo; now they can make and register other gadgets. Checkout the documentation for further enlightenment.

We will be looking at ways to record bugs and issues fairly soon too.

Tiddly

We now have blocks, a way to stop bad calls being made through your gadget. And the howto's section has been converted into a TiddlyWiki. This week we are busy with the APIs.

We are contacting people who have asked for registration - and we will have some simple way of recording your triumphs and tribulations soon. Though we are quite happy to follow you on Twitter if you are nice..
