Time to take things to the next level…my love for (Mac OS X 10.4 + Web Development) = Dashboard widget creation time. When I first got my hands on Mac OS X 10.4, I was not too crazy about Dashboard, but after WWDC I started to like it more and more. I wanted to start […]
Set Up: Mac OS X Client OS, one network card, and multiple Virtual Hosts (three of the Virtual Hosts need SSL certificates) using Apache.
For years I have been searching for a web site solution that would fit my needs: easy to change and edit content (via any web browser) integrated blog integrated search easy to maintain database driven templates able to adapt to mobile technologies I have played with many CMSes over the years, and I finally realized […]
My posts have been more sporatic than usual because once again, I got the CSS bug…the need to redo the site I have now to be cleaner with a brand new backend. I am hoping to have the design and backend completely done in the next two days. I have at least 3-4 more hours […]
I like to think I know a lot about web design, hosting, development, etc, but I also like to think when I am unsure of something, I know where I like to go. (not to mention I like to use commas) If you are a web developer with questions or would like to help web […]
Most people that would be reading this are probably very familar with Apple’s web site and know that Mac OS X 10.4 is coming out later this month on April 29th. My random thought for the day…when is Apple going to update their web site design? Apple’s web site design has been very influencial over […]
I have been looking for good Mac (not MAC) OS and UNIX training opportunities and think I finally came up with the missing piece, Big Nerd Ranch. Over the years, I have looked for good training for Mac OS X/Mac OS X Server, Apache, PHP, and other web technologies, but have often come up empty […]
If you find yourself developing more than one web site at home, or anywhere with a *NIX machine with Apache, and want to be able to access all the sites for testing, it is time to set up Virtual Hosts. By using Virtual Hosts, you can access all your web sites easily (especially if you […]
I updated my installation of WordPress to 1.5, and am still working out some problems with some of the plugins that have not been updated yet. I am hoping to get everything working ASAP, but until then, you might notice a few things are a little funky (like my photos). I have also been going […]
After my daily tech new sweep, I stumbled on some web related news I wanted to point out: WordPress has a new version out: 1.5 After looking back at an old screenshot, I saw I had Webmonkey as a toolbar favorite, so I decided to go to the Webmonkey web site, and behold…new articles! (I […]
When I first started creating web pages with using SimpleText or BBEdit, my code was super clean…it might not have been as complicated as it now, but everything was in it’s place and it was damn impressive to look at. Enter in GoLive CyberStudio (now Adobe GoLive). Lots of great features and awesome site management, […]
When designing web sites and then performing QA/validating I have found the Firefox plugin “web developer” to be invaluable. (I am finishing up jappler.com and my validation this weekend). You can easily view all your CSS elements, validate your CSS, outline tables, view page information, even view a page’s speed report. I would highly recommend […]
