PHP Jappler Style
Well, I found a site with humor I appreciate: php stuff that makes you go what the… Good times!
Apple
tired of the finder (a boxing match: starring applications that don't play nicely with others).
I am tired of the Finder. I am tired of trying to copy something in BBEdit while a BBEdit window is in the foreground, but I end up copying something from GoLive. Today…the Finder thought it was GoLive. Tomorrow? (but damn Mac OS X is pretty)
Hints UNIX
helpful UNIX commands.
Well, I am halfway through my UNIX filesystem training and I wanted to share some useful commands I have learned along the way: grep -i = grep ignoring cases grep -v name = grep ignoring all lines with “name” in it grep word * = grep in the current directory for all lines with “word” […]
Content Management Systems Web Development
content management systems.
So perhaps you have considered implementing a content management system for yourself of your company. I have gone back and forth several times. Do I want to use one because of all the feautures and role based options? Do I want to not use one so I can fully customize everything? Do I have time […]
Hints HOWTOs Web Development
encoding email addresses.
Spam. We are all sick of it. Contact information…if you have a web site it is most likely you will need to post your contact information (email address) somewhere.

another day, another design.
This is officially design #4 for jappler.com. My web sites are always evolving, and I am always trying to build my template library, so here we are again. I needed a PSU blue for my site, and I finally have it. I have not used this blue since 1998, and when looking at my site…all […]

(Not to be confused with factcheck.com which Mr. Cheney told all who watched the debate to go to and check out all […]

train the brain! (instead of driving me insane)
OK, so how many times have we all heard this: “I have so many user names and passwords, there is no way I can possibly remember all of them.” The solution (and no it is not to write them down)…remember your user names and passwords. How? Make up a user name/password scheme. How? I have […]

Grand Theft Auto III Completed
Just when I thought I would not finish GTA III, I did. It was one of those nights where “just one more time and that is it” went through my mind many times. After I saved the girl, I popped out GTA III and put in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I have to say…the […]

Dear Joe Paterno,
I had the honor of going to the Penn State v. Wisconsin game last weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. After going to to the game, experiencing the crowd, and the listening to the media…all trying to blame you, I just wanted to write to you and tell you how much of an inspiration you have been […]

loud cell phone talkers.
To the annoying girl on the 523 train that got off at Des Plaines stop after talking the entire non-express train trip…I have something for you….a F*&$)ing clue: everyone on the train does not care about the horrible day you had. As you talked about how nervous you were at work and how you started […]
