while doing the DeviceAtlas API tutorial, i ran into a path/permissions issue on my server that i am unable to get around. I could just work locally via MAMP, but I wanted to test the site with the emulators on ready.mobi.

so today i investigated some light-weight alternatives to device detection. here’s some stuff, though i haven’t dug too deep yet:

• Detecting Mobile Devices Using PHP
• mobiledevicedetector
• Detect Mobile Browsers
• Lightweight Device-Detection in PHP
• Apache Mobile Filter
• PHP Mobile Detection
• Mobile Browser Detection in PHP

and i’m wondering how many alternatives there are to DeviceAtlas….

• www.handsetdetection.com
• Wapple Architect
• MobileMultimedia

and, if strictly developing WordPress sites, there are always mobile switcher plugins available:

• WordPress Mobile Pack
• WordPress Mobile Edition
• Mobile theme switcher
• etc…………………………

everything you gave me lies within a trunk, within a drawer
I burned one hundred photographs or more
I fled across the ocean with another face, another name
Nothing but my soul remained the same
But still you came with cases I was forced to let you stay
You bought the locks, the box in which I lay

I tried to get away from you
I tried to make a break
You always see right through me, there’s no escape

I can still remember you with coronets, white horses
I would run behind you’d flash a sign I’d dive
Just to serve you
Night time’s turned the lady to a girl again, you’d slip away
You tried to kiss my tears away, pretend there was no day to take me down

Nightshade, blades, Niagara falls – I tried them all six times
You would always run behind me
And you’d find me
Keep me on a leash, on a line
I’m uncomfortably resigned
There’s no release till you untie me
Deny me

Look inside,
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
Cause we’re so uninspired,
so sick and tired of all the
hatred you harbor

So you say
It’s not okay to be gay
Well I think you’re just evil
You’re just some racist who
can’t tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you (Fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don’t translate
And it’s getting quite late
So please don’t stay in touch

Do you get,
Do you get a little kick out of
being slow minded?
You want to be like your father
It’s approval your after
Well that’s not how you find it

Do you,
Do you really enjoy living a
life that’s so hateful?
Cause there’s a hole where
your soul should be
Your losing control of it and
it’s really distasteful

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don’t
translate and it’s getting
quite late
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you,
Fuck you, Fuck you, Fuck you,
Fuck yooooou

You say
You think we need to go to war
well you’re already in one
Cause it’s people like you
who need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you (Fuck You)
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don’t
translate and it’s getting
quite late
So please don’t stay in touch

Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck you, Fuck you
Fuck you, Fuck you

I start to melt
with your arms, round my waist
and your mouth, starts to spell
and the words, telling me, to fade

i start to fade
with her arms, round my waist
and her mouth, starts to spell
and the words, telling me, to stay

i start to melt
with my arms, round your waist
and my mouth, starts to spell
and the words, saying it’s, ok
