Well, I have been patiently waiting to buy a nice Apple laptop and finally something looked and sounded good to me – the 2.16Ghz MacBook Pro which I bought today. My first impressions: “wow this packaging is really nice”, “wow this is super fast”, and “great job Apple”. I love Apple and their products because […]
I am always looking for new ways to optimize and improve jappler.com and this past weekend I installed and configured a new wordpress plugin: ultimate tag warrior. Not only does it take care of my tagging needs with each post, but it also allows me to create a tag cloud (see the home page), and […]
I recently started looking into WordPress Widgets which allow people to customize their WordPress web site or blog without knowing any HTML. Widgets allow WordPress users to simply “drag and drop” features in their sidebars. Sound interesting?

Well. It does not take much to amuse me. Awhile back I wrote about “fun with email attachments” but obviously there is more fun to have. Last night I received an email from someone – who will remain nameless – that had 87 attachments. Yes 87. Eighty-seven. Time for a web site where this person […]
I do not take many days off from work (hours for that matter), but I decided to take off this past Thanksgiving/weekend…and I really enjoyed it. With family in town, I took a drive down into the city to see our glorious city with all it’s Christmas decorations and late night shoppers on Saturday. Yesterday […]
I was recently asked how to clone the SmartSection module for XOOPS, so I thought I would document the process here on my blog. (XOOPS is another favorite CMS I use for my clients when they want a CMS) Download SmartSection (http://smartfactory.ca/ Duplicate the smartsection module folder (this is the folder with all the module […]
After working with Ben for almost eight years he had decided to move on. I wanted to wish Ben all the luck in the world. We had a great time working together for many years…as he put up with my on again off again relationship with Mac OS X Server and I put up with […]
