Love it or hate it – it is here to stay.
Jappler.com will be moving to a new host ASAP. I have been moving hosts for awhile now…and thought I had a good one: hostgator.com. After some downtime and idiotic conversation with the “support”, I decided I deserved better and needed to be able to take more responsiblity for my web presence. I decided to go, […]
Not sure if anyone else has accidentally done what I just did, but I got a kick out of it and thought I would share. I looking at a web site in Safari and decided I wanted to grab the URL and drag it onto my desktop for later use. Instead, I heard the “poof” […]
If you ever use Mac OS X client as a file server, or any type of server where you want some users to have access to SSH and others not, you can easily make it happen by using our old friend NetInfo Manager Applications > Utilities > NetInfo Manager. You can, very quickly, make sure […]
After being a bit nervous about updating to the newest version of WordPress because of all the customizations I made (and then did not properly document) I finally decided to bite the bullet and update. I tried the upgrade on another test site and all went well, so I am finally up to date. Document, […]
I had the task of taking apart a friend’s Dual USB iBook, and since the hardware was not mine, I wanted to make sure I was careful and knew the shortest amount of steps to successfully upgrade her hardrive. I found a great resource I wanted to share called the FixIt Guide. You can choose […]
I cannot stress how amazing the Apache community has been when I have needed help. Not only do I spend a lot of time reading the great documentation on the Apache web site, I subscribe to the Apache mailing lists, and when I really need help fast, I jump on the #Apache channel using IRC […]
After a weekend packed of long hours working on getting everything just right…I am 99% complete. Now it is time to get picky with CSS as well as use Apache’s mod_rewrite to clean up some of the nasty URLs XOOPS creates. Tomorrow…the link.
Today is a day of birthdays…Salsa and the iMac. Salsa celebrated her fifth birthday with unlimited cat nip and wet food. My iMac took the day off and relaxed all day to celebrate his birthday 😉
Well…after years and years of friends having a multi-button mouse, a mouse with a scroll wheel, and laughing at me and my love for my Apple mouse, Apple releases the Mighty Mouse. I always said I would use whatever Apple provided, and nothing-no matter how cool or how much I was missing out in my […]
After completely moving towards tabless designs, it is hard to look at the cluttered code of tables in code. I have probably put in 15 hours of playing with XOOPs now, a few of these hours stripping code down to be more CSS driven. I am all about clean code these days, but boy do […]
Well, here I am again, looking at different CMSes for a few projects I have up my sleeve and I decided to compare XOOPS and Mambo. Why those two? I have a few friends that used both and liked them for one reason or another. I decided to download XOOPS after doing a comparison at […]
When creating my first Dashboard widget I had to brush up on my javascript skills. I used javascript a little bit in the late 1990s, and since then, I have found PHP or CSS to take care of most of my needs for web development. As most people know, javascript is making quite a comeback […]
