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, […]
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 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.
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 […]
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 […]
How time flies. I have now officially kept a blog for one year. It all started with: adult happy meal? and Moveable Type. A year later, I have my entire web site managed with blog software. Unbelievable.
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 […]
