Busy-ness, illness and distractedness have all kept me from the blog this week. There aren’t any clear themes in this week’s links either. Chatter around OAuth has continued apace, as have musings about fuzziness, location, time, and the web (represented well by Matt Jones’ piece), but mostly this is the (to be) usual random assortment that have spent more than a few seconds open in my newsreader or web browser

• twitteroauth – PHP OAuth lib for Twitter

  Further evidence that OAuth support for twitter is finally on its way in the form of a PHP library for interfacing with it.

• Fixing OAuth

  The author of my favourite iPhone twitter client (tweetie) outlines an idea for improving the usability of OAuth outside of web applications.

• iPhoneFlow – iPhone Development Links

  iPhoneFlow is a community link blog for iPhone developers. (via Mobile Orchard)

• Interview with Matt Bauer, author of Data Processing and Visualization with Ruby

  I’m really looking forward to this book.

• CloudMade: Using OpenStreetMap to Chart the Future of Mapping

  CloudMade is a new mapping service from some of the creators of Open Street Map. Lots of libraries for integration are available, along with a variety of services on top of the map data.

• seed16 a new model for conferences

  An interesting response to the ridiculous speed with which tickets for the next BarCamp London sold out, and the issues that that raises.

• A new kind of front page

  How Phil Gyford is currently experimenting with the front page of his site, pulling together his activities from across the web. I really like the way Phil approaches these sorts of projects and manages to pull things together in interesting ways.

• Implementing Prototype’s Array Methods in jQuery

  One less reason to use Prototype over jQuery if you’ve not already made the switch. Like Josh I find I rarely feel the absence of the array methods Prototype provides when I write javascript with jQuery, but there are some convenient shortcuts here.

• Exporting the past into the future, or, “The Possibility Jelly lives on the hypersurface of the present”

  A series of musings from Matt Jones on space, time and the web (in its biggest sense), “nowish”, “hereish” and all that. Also notable for having what may be the longest ‘slug’ URL component of any article I’ve linked to from this blog.
