hi All,

As Oauth2 is not yet in PHP, we have to use third party libraries. what are
the recommended oauth2 libraries? I'm implementing oauth provider.

thank you

    I'll get this week's Friday distraction kicked off here with
something shared with me by a Facebook friend.  If you're on Facebook,
try this.  It's pretty sweet (and safe for work and kids).

Is it just me or does it not work unless you agree to the "extra"
information sharing stuff?

I saw this 3-4 days ago.
And yes, I didn't allow the app to post anything on my wall. :D

Well, I'm not. I took one look at their Ts&Cs and thought "Sod that!"

Not meaning to be ignorant, but why?

What's the point here?

I have grandkids and about a dozen other species of relatives/friends trying to 
get me to do stuff (i.e., like/friend/post/reply/accept) on FaceBook et al, but 
I don't see the point. It looks like a total waste of time. Why should I care 
if someone post something on their FaceBook account? I would rather spend my 
time programming, teaching programming, and reading about programming. 

Maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff.

Cheers,

tedd

tedd, even older folks are getting on there these days.  sure there are lame
aspects as there are w/ just about anything; but it is a nice way to stay in
touch w/ folks youd probly otherwise have lost touch w/.  my 2c.

I couldn't agree more. It is a total waste of time, and for many
people they think it replaces the need for personal contact. Like you,
I have 100's of things I'd rather spend my time on.

Tedd,
Your naturalness is always endearing, even when you play grumpy.  ;-)

It may seem like overly zealous waste of technology.. but look at it from 
another angle - 
It's just plain ole (ancient) human need for social interaction... piped 
through the latest tools. 
The girls anyway certainly love FaceBook, et al., for the same reasons they 
ever loved the chance to compare social notes.

I did not use the takethislollipop.com app, so I don't know either what is its 
point (I hesitate like others said they do, to let apps grab all my FB data), 
but here I was just commenting on FB and social apps in general.

From a programmer's perspective, I would say that selling things is just as 
boring as aimless socializing.  WHAT ARE YOU programming anyway?  ;-)
We programmers just keep track of other peoples' details... and once the 
novelty of solving problems (for solving sake) wears off, then it seems to me 
that programming, as such, is no more interesting, in the end, than the stuff 
the code serves.

What does truly uplifting/evolutionary code look like anyway?

First, I hope that I am posting my response to Tedd correctly (no top posts..). 
Second, I totally agree with Tedd and I am only 36...:-)

Best,

Christopher
