So you need to install a search engine on your site. Keeping with my open source solutions, I have decided to go with ht://Dig. As soon as Apple decided to go with UNIX as a back end to their OS, I was excited because I could finally use ht://Dig (and another classic program called Mailman) […]
Well, it is that time again, a relative is getting married and has registered for gifts. While I think wedding registers are very helpful for people that actually want to get people what they want, I also find some of the items a bit much. Enter, the $45.00 nickel plated toilet brush. Yes, a nickel […]
So close, yet so far away. After hours of staring and adjustments, I still have a few outstanding design problems. The menu alignment. I cannot seem to figure out what is holding it back from lining up with the other top items in Mozilla/Firefox yet is at the very top in IE. In Mozilla/Firefox, and […]
Well, new designs, new learning experiences. I have lots to share later about CSS and about WordPress layout, but I need a break. I still need to get my main menu from the rest of the site into the blog layout, and figure out why my top menu item is not lining but, but the […]
Well. Early Monday morning is not my favorite. Rushing to get ready, rushing to get to the train, fighting with the crazies…(see posts on Metra)…anyway, let us not forget on top of all of this, I have the luck of Larry David. So I make it to the train, but no seat, so I sat […]
Well, I finally took the plunge and bought my own domain name. So what is jappler? Back in 1998, I needed a character name for Diablo so I came up with Sir Japple (J for my first name initial, apple, for my beloved hardware/software company. Then in 1999, Quake 3 Arena came out and the […]
Well, it is that time in the design cycle to archive my current web site, and move to a new design. I will be working on it this weekend to hopefully finish it up. Once I have it completed, I will be moving this web site to a new url, I will keep a redirect […]
After showing my mother that she could be a Motown musician by using Apple’s GarageBand on her iBook two weeks ago I thought I should take another look at Apple’s cool software too. I have to say, out of the box, GarageBand is very fun and you can really make some cool music, even without […]
If there is one application Apple has released in the last few years that I should be using more, it is iCal. There are lots of little tricks and cool stuff you can do with iCal…like my favorite: In a terminal window type: cat /usr/share/calendar/calendar.history | grep McDonald and look at the goodies. Yes, I […]
Just a quick note to let everyone know my cat Salsa turned 4 and the iMac also turned 5 on Sunday.
Ok, so what is the deal with the golf umbrellas downtown? Does one person really need the gigantic umbrella all for themselves? On my way home last night in the pouring rain I was reminded of how much I hate rain in Chicago. First, we have to deal with all the wind, and if you […]
What a morning. Surprise surprise…I decided to install Mac OS X Server on my PowerBook to play around with the Apache conf (since I legally own two copies that just sit in my drawer). Ever since Mac OS X Server 1.0 came out I was excited to use Mac OS X Server. I loved AppleShare […]
